General (retired) Ameer Faisal Alvi, a former head of the military Special Services Group (SSG), who had died in an attack in Islamabad, could have been killed for revenge by Taliban following his involvement in operations against militants in the tribal areas.

It is likely that General (r) Ameer Faisal Alvi was made a target for commanding the Special Services Group group in a covert operation ‘Operation Mountain Lion’ carried out against militants in Waziristan in 2006, with the US and British involvement, The News has stated.
At least 12 militants, a number of foreigners, were killed by Alvi’s unit and others were arrested. Among them were a number of foreigners.

Writing in its editorial “In the name of revenge”, The News has stated that General (r) Ameer Faisal Alvi had been receiving threats from the Taliban for several months. It looks his murder was pre-planned.

The edit pieces stated that no other motive has been suggested for the assassination, carried out by killers, riding motorbikes and a jeep, who opened fire on the general’s car and then fled.

The Taliban, it looks, were eager to deliver a clear-cut message, The News observed.

“The retired general was seen as a ’soft target’. His death, alongside that of his driver, is a reminder of the extremist hatred for the forces acting against them and of their ruthlessness. The game of revenge is obviously a dangerous one.”

“It is not known if other targets are in sight. The killing could also set a pattern that ‘copy cat’ assassins emulate, to gun down, in a similar fashion, those involved in actions against militants at various times.”

“The thought is a terrifying one. We already have, in our society, far too many strands of violence. An addition to them is obviously not a development to look forward to.”

Taliban’s War Against Women

The day was much like any other. For the young Afghan mother, the only difference was that her child was feverish and had been for some time and needed to see a doctor. But simple tasks in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan today are not that easy.

The mother was alone and the doctor was across town. She had no male relative to escort her. To ask another man to do so would be to risk severe punishment. To go on her own meant that she would risk flogging.

Because she loved her child, she had no choice. Donning the tent-like burqa as Taliban law required, she set out, cradling her child in her arms. She shouldn’t have.

As they approached the market, she was spotted by a teenage Taliban guard who tried to stop her. Intent on saving her child, the mother ignored him, hoping that he would ignore her. He didn’t. Instead he raised his weapon and shot her repeatedly. Both mother and child fell to the ground. They survived because bystanders in the market intervened to save them. The young Taliban guard was unrepentent — fully supported by the regime. The woman should not have been out alone.
This mother was just another casualty in the Taliban war on Afghanistan’s women, a war that began 5 years ago when the Taliban seized control of Kabul.

They sent students from all over the Pakistan to Afghanistan to get Jihad training.
Now Pakistan is paying the price.

Jamat Islami closely worked with General Zia ul Haq to destroy Afghanistan.
Today our Afghan brothers hate us.

This is a very good note from Mr. Dawar.
Government should ban Jamat Islami.
They have double standard.
They are Hypocrite.
