Several killed in latest Waziristan militant infighting

PESHAWAR: Several are being reported killed in infighting between two distraught Tehreek-i-Taliban factions between whom fighting intensified on Friday in Waziristan.

The clash started between the two militant factions a few days ago and the cause of infighting was said to be over interference in matters inside one another’s domains.

At least 10 people were killed today during a clash in North Waziristan's Shawal tehsil and several were injured.

The casualties in Shawal took place when the two factions exchanged fire, local sources and officials confirmed.

Cause for strife
Fighters from both sides have been launching attacks in the areas of Shawal, Shaktoi, Makin and Tank with heavy ammunition and artillery in an attempt to destroy one another’s sanctuaries.

Moreover, the internal strife between the two groups is now spilling onto the other areas of the region.

The TTP has remained silent on the matter of infighting in which over 30 deaths have been reported over a couple of days.

The clashes first erupted on Sunday in Shawal between supporters of Khan Said Sajna and followers of the late Hakimullah Mehsud group.

Both factions are part of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) umbrella group, which has been waging a bloody seven-year insurgency against the state.

Militant sources had earlier suggested that differences emerged after Sajna, a senior commander, was rejected for the TTP leadership, after then-leader Mehsud was killed in a US drone strike last November.

The TTP has long been driven by infighting.

Sajna had been seen as a strong candidate to become TTP chief following Mehsud's death. But the movement's ruling council at the last minute elected Mullah Fazlullah, who hails from Swat and is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan.

Three killed in Dattakhel explosion
At least three people were killed in a remote-controlled blast Dattakhel tehsil of the North Waziristan tribal region.

According to an initial report, the three were killed when unknown attackers targeted the vehicle they were travelling in using a remote-control bomb.

The men killed in the Dattakhel attack could not yet be identified.

True but it will both help and teach a lesson to the pro group.
 
Actually ISI is responsible for it. Why exactly pro-peace taliban and anti-peace taliban are fighting with each other? The answer is ISI. It is not the firs time that ISI has applied british's divide and conquer formula on taliban.
Sajna is the stupid one here, he would be also hunted down by army after he serves their purpose.

I am guessing , difference in agendas can be a prime motive for infighting amongst terrorist groups ? No ? Or is just has to be colonial ISI calling the shot again ? :azn:

Right now we dont want to make the Pro Group insecure .. that if they win we will be coming for then next .. that we do not want at this point of time . in few days the picture will become more clear .. it all depends on what road TTP takes ..whether they extend ceasefire or not .. our future strategy will be based on that .
