This animal was know as the "Qasai" of Swat. He literally has a reputation for butchering and slaughtering innocent civilians and military personnel.

I hope they make an example out of this "Qasai". I'd say give him to the people of SWAT and let them decide his fate.

Another great victory for the Armed forces of Pakistan.

Pakistan Zindabaad!

Third arrest from Taliban most-wanted list made: army

Wednesday, 16 Sep, 2009

PESHAWAR: Pakistan said soldiers Wednesday arrested a third man from a list of most-wanted Taliban commanders in the Swat valley that offered hundreds of thousands of dollars in reward money.

Sher Muhammad Qasab was the alleged local Taliban commander in Charbagh, in the heart of the former tourist region where the military launched a major assault this summer to defeat a deadly two-year Islamist insurgency.

Qasab, who with 15 other Taliban commanders in the northwest district had a price on his head of 10 million rupees (around 120,000 dollars), was ‘seriously injured’ and ‘arrested in a military operation,’ the army said in a statement.

Military officials in the northwest city of Peshawar confirmed his arrest.

‘Troops encircled him from days. His three sons were also killed on Monday during the operation,’ a military official told AFP.

Last Friday, Pakistan announced the arrest of the Taliban spokesman in Swat, Muslim Khan, and another commander from the list of 16 most-wanted people headed by the architect of the Swat uprising, Maulana Fazlullah.

The mountain valley slipped out of government control after radical cleric Fazlullah rose up in July 2007, commanding thousands of followers who beheaded opponents, burnt schools and fought to enforce Islamic law.

Pakistan launched a blistering offensive against the Taliban after militants marched out of Swat and advanced to within 100 kilometres (60 miles) of the capital Islamabad in April. The military now says the area is clear.— AFP

MINGORA: Sher Mohammad Qasab, one of 15 Taliban ‘commanders’ carrying a head money of Rs10 million, was captured in Swat on Wednesday, along with 16 other militants.


Thirty-seven terrorists laid down their arms in different areas of the valley. Qasab’s is the third high-profile arrest announced in five days.

According to the Swat media centre, security forces arrested 17 militants, including Mohammad Qasab and his son Adalat Khan, during a search operation in Gat Kandao area of Charbagh.



Qasab, who was injured in the operation, was presented before local people in Charbagh Bazaar. His other three sons, Zahid, Shah Wazir and Perwanat, had been killed in a clash with security forces a couple of days ago.

Qasab was wanted in various cases of terrorism, including attacks on government installations and beheading of security and police personnel.



(According to AFP, military officials confirmed Qasab’s arrest. ‘He was injured during an exchange of fire with security forces. In the same exchange of fire, three of his sons were killed,’ Col Akhtar Abbas, the military spokesman in Swat, said.



‘Troops encircled him for days,’ a military official in Peshawar said. Col Abbas accused Qasab of personally beheading members of security forces and setting fire to a dozen girls’ schools in different parts of the valley.

‘He was running a slaughter centre in Charbagh where he himself used to slaughter opponents and security personnel,’ he added.)



According to the ISPR, 37 militants, including one Shamakhel and his two sons, laid down arms in Shah Dheri, Shah Dand Banda, Kanju and Bar Shor areas.



Eight tunnels were discovered and three bombs defused in Ashar, Banr and Mangaltan areas. A woman and her child were injured when a mortar shell hit their house.



Muhammad Irfan Mughal in Dera Ismail Khan adds: Eight militants were killed when security forces backed by helicopter gunships pounded their hideouts in Paharpur area near here on Wednesday.



Six militants were arrested and a large quantity of weapons and ammunition was seized. Officials said that several militant hideouts near Lakki Marwat had also been destroyed.
