US offers $5 million reward for Pakistan Taliban leader

[Menace2Society]

Positive move. Looks like there is give and take.

 

[khail007]

Yes, that's the question I had. A bit more about the RFJ program:

"RFJ, the U.S. Department of State’s Counter-Terrorism Rewards Program, was established by the 1984 Act to Combat International Terrorism, Public Law 98-533 (codified at 22 U.S.C. § 2708). Administered by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, RFJ’s goal is to bring international terrorists to justice and prevent acts of international terrorism against U.S. persons or property. Under this program, the Secretary of State may authorize rewards for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of anyone who plans, commits, aids, or attempts international terrorist acts against U.S. persons or property, that prevents such acts from occurring in the first place, that leads to the identification or location of a key terrorist leader, or that disrupts terrorism financing."
​

So these rewards aren't offered for info on terrorists attacking or targeting only U.S. allies: they have to attack or target "U.S. persons or property" for State to put up a reward. Then I suppose there has to be some evidence or intelligence - not just claims - as a basis. After that it's a matter of how long it takes to set up the Reward in the federal gov't bureaucracy.

I especially like this tidbit from the RFJ FAQ page:

HAS RFJ EVER TAKEN SOMEONE OFF THE REWARDS FOR JUSTICE LIST? IF SO, WHO AND WHY?

• Yes, the Rewards for Justice program has removed various suspects from its list over the years, including Baitullah Mehsud, Bali bomber Dulmatin, Usama bin Ladin, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, and Fazul Abdullah Mohammed. Suspects may be removed from the RFJ list for a variety of reasons, including when they are taken into custody by law enforcement or security forces, or are confirmed dead by an official authoritative source.

There is a saying though not good but totally fits on US reation, '@AND lagi phatnay tau khairat lagi butnay' .
US only feels when his own @$$ is on fire ... since long US was paying no heed to genuine concerns of Pakistan.

That's just hot air. Have you ever counted the number of TTP terrorists killed that the Pakistani military attributes to U.S. drone strikes?

 

[tarrar]

Well US, all the top rented terrorists bastards are hiding in Afghanistan, so search there.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Well US, all the top rented terrorists bastards are hiding in Afghanistan, so search there.

one of such bastards i.e Latif Ullah Mehsood was found by Americans when they busted a convey of Afghan intelligence which was taking him as a guest to some place. Americans snatched him from the Afghan thug agency that is known to be racist towards its Afghan Pashton population. the Afghan druglords in Kabul protested against that raid but he was apparently handed over to Pakistan despite Afghan northern Alliance protests

That's just hot air. Have you ever counted the number of TTP terrorists killed that the Pakistani military attributes to U.S. drone strikes?

its true there are many. one such scumbag found a hellfire up his arse when he was having an oil massage out in the open.
TTP leadership tends to make a lot of boastful videos for symbolic reasons where they show their leaders calmly having food out in the open while Pakistani forces are bombing somewhere in the distance, but there are situations such boasts go wrong
like this cobra gunship attack where terrorist camera man was filming a potential shooting down of a Pakistani gunship but he and his team had to run for their dear lives

Latif Ullah Mehsood has been hanged!

 

[xyxmt]

That is terrible news for India and Afghanistan. I hope this is a sincere effort by the US and not a cosmetic one to please Pakistan.

its just that pressure is working...you decide which direction

 

[I.R.A]

Pakistan should double up the efforts to be the first ones themselves to trace and reach Mullah Radio and apprehend him .... before any reward seeker gets hold of that nut case ......

 

[Pandora]

As if these American cunts dont know where they are right now. I really feel pitty for my Pakistan brethren who think that they did this with a generous heart.

 

[Mrc]

This is a positive... looks like both sides have agreed to deal with respective proxies

 

[khail007]

Only many but far far far less than thousands sent to the hell by PA, you switched the sides very lately.

US offers $5 million reward for Pakistan Taliban leader

The US has announced it will pay a $5 million reward to anyone who assists in the finding of the leader of Pakistan’s Taliban, and has offered $3 million for two other militants from other terrorist groups.

The US State Department posted the reward on Thursday for information leading to Maulana Fazlullah, the head of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan militant group (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban.

It also offered $3 million each for two other militants associated with the TTP: Abdul Wali, leader of Jamaat ul-Ahrar, and Mangal Bagh, the leader of Lashkar-e-Islam.

The State Department said the TTP has “demonstrated a close alliance with al-Qaeda” and the three pose a threat to the security of the United States.

“Each of these individuals is believed to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of the United States and its nationals,” the department said in its statement.

“In addition to opposing the Pakistani military, one of TTP’s stated goals is the expulsion of Coalition troops from Afghanistan. The group has demonstrated a close alliance with al-Qaeda, and, since 2008, has also repeatedly publicly threatened to attack the U.S. homeland.”

Although Pakistani Taliban militants still unleash attacks, the group has lost control of all territory in Pakistan since its December 2014 attack on an army school that killed 132 children.

According to US officials, TTP gave explosives training to Faisal Shahzad, who failed in his attempt to set off a car bomb in New York’s Times Square in May 2010.

The group was behind the massacre of more than 150 people at a Peshawar school in December 2014, and nine dead in another attack in December 2017 in the same city.

It was also responsible for the October 2012 shooting of a renowned schoolgirl, Malala Yousafzai, solely because she went to school. Later Yousafzai, who nearly escaped death, became a global symbol of the fight for girls’ rights to schooling.

Tensions have grown in relations between the United States and Pakistan following US President Donald Trump’s accusations that Pakistan was harboring “terrorists.”

Pakistan has vehemently denied the charge and says it has carried out several military operations in the country’s tribal regions and elsewhere to kill or arrest militants.

Good move and this is just days after a drone strike which took out much of their leadership.

Now they know that they are useless and Pak army already winning the race and to cover their faces, they are offering this. It is to late and we will hunt them down soon
