Taliban Inviting Operations
By Sameer Shaharyar • Nov 2nd, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 4 CommentsIt seems that the militants in the Swat and tribal region are inviting the military operations. Just when the peace truce was under construction in the Swat Valley, the Tehreek-e-Taliban’s chief gave ultimatum to the NWFP government of ANP to quit within a week, and threatened that otherwise they would start suicide bombings. Then they started torching the schools, police stations and even brought the chic PTDC motel to earth.
Then they started attacking the security forces in the Swat, and now its third day when the severe clashes are going on between the security forces and the militants. Since the fighting has begun, 34 people have died, and many have injured. People are migrating from the restive area, and the lift has come to a standstill due to the curfew clamped by the security forces and due to the terror.
What exactly militants want to achieve by creating restive situation? What exactly they are achieving by demolishing the traces of modern life? Aren’t they providing enough excuses to the NATO forces salivating just at the gate to come and take over the tribal belt and many settled areas of the NWFP?
How possibly could New York Times, in their right minds, could accuse ISI of collaborating with the Talibans? How could they? If that is the case then ISI should first cooperate with militants in Swat for the sake of peace.

The militants under baitullah Mehsud(TIT) wanted ANP government removed. Why? Why they fear HOTI more than anybody? It is basically a clique in central government which is covertly supporitng this move of baitullah. People even say he is creation of RAW. I think Pakistanies are giving more credit to it by this accusation.
His action of torching girl schools, CD shops etc show he is actually in the grip of SAUDI ARABIA and the Wahabies who owe alligiance to the Arab Taliban who have come as fighters during Soveit rule in afghanistan and now married and settled in Frontier areas. Musharaff wanted them to go back to their countries which are already in grip of USA.they have no other go than fight for self survival even if it means pakistan army.
I really do not know what it takes to defeat a terrorist organization. Terrorism in general, however, is even more difficult because it has been around for a very long time, and so will continue regardless of how many terrorist organizations we do eliminate. There is still hope–terrorist organizations do die off…we just have to be ready to deal with the next generation.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for a number of suicide attacks which more recently have turned to civilian targets.
Karachi is considered as the financial and entertainment capital of Pakistan . It is also strategically situated city of Pakistan suiting the countrys business and commercial interests.
Pakistan s unit of the Taliban, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has said that their next area for expanding its operations was Karachi.
According to Tehreek-e-Taliban foreign enemies were setting their sight at Karachi , as it had become countrys economic lifeline. Talibans presence in Karachi will make it safe and bring peace to the city.
They also said that the Taliban were present everywhere in the country and were the real heirs of Pakistan .
