Pakistan’s perpetually angry politician, Imran Khan of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), has threatened to block NATO supply line to Afghanistan. He is holding a sit-in in Peshawar, the capital city of north western KPK province where his party is ruling the province. He was furious over a US drone strike in the settled area of Hangu on the morning of Thursday, falling in the jurisdiction of KPK. Three Haqqani Network commanders belonging to Afghanistan were killed in this attack. It was the first drone strike outside FATA, the restive and autonomous tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.
It has been reported that Maulvi Ahmad Jan, an adviser to Siraj-ud-din Haqqani, the feared head of the Taliban-linked Haqqani network, was in the madrassa when at least three rockets hit his room just before sunrise. Quoting sources in Pakistan intelligence, Reuters has reported that Siraj-ud-din Haqqani himself was spotted at the same seminary just two days earlier. The group is affiliated with Afghan Taliban and has taken an oath of allegiance with Mullah Omer. Presently, the group is lodged in North Waziristan Agency of FATA. Dead bodies of slain Taliban commanders were swiftly shifted North Waziristan. Earlier this month, another senior commander and financier of the group Nasiruddin Haqqani, was shot dead in Islamabad on November 11.
Quoting local residents, Reuters has further reported that Thursday's missiles hit only two of the nine rooms in the seminary where Jan was staying with several other militants. The remaining seven rooms remained intact.
Khan of PTI has urged all the people in his KPK province to join him in Saturday sit-in where he will announce the decision to block NATO supplies. The supplies pass through Pakistan’s Ground Lanes of Communication (GLOC) and Khan thinks that due to criticality of supplies to the US and its allies, Kahn and his allies can arm-twist the US to stop drone strikes.
Khan critics are, however, asking him to explain why three militant commanders from Afghanistan were allowed to live in Hangu seminary and how their dead bodies were allowed to be swiftly and secretly shifted to North Waziristan Agency without the nod from his provincial government.
