Although the Army Generals will discuss the TTP’s

The Federal Interior Ministry says it has intercepted
a TTP phone call in which the terrorists are planning an attack
on Dr Tahirul Qadri’s long march to be held in Islamabad on January
14. The ministry said in a press release that the caller used
Miranshah (headquarter of the North Waziristan Agency in FATA)-based
PTCL landline. The threat alert was received from a credible intelligence
source, the press release said. The release
further said the TTP’s statement is an effort to mislead Tahirul
Qadri in particular and public in general. “The government does
not believe in the fake representative of the TTP and will continue
to take protective measures for the long march.” TTP
‘spokesman’ Ehsanullah Ehsan had denied that the group had threatened
to attack the protest. “This is not true. We have not issued any
threat to attack the long march. We have no comments for the long
march,” he had said. Federal Minister of
Interior Rehman Malik had said, “TTP has threatened to attack
the long march. But we will not stop the long march and (we will)
provide them full security.” Qadri leads the Tehreek-e-Minhajul
Quran, which has a network of religious and educational institutions.

The high-ranking TTP leader Wali Ur Rehman has
made a rare video appearance pledging to send fighters to Kashmir
and wage a struggle for the implementation of Sharia rule in India.
"The practical struggle for a Sharia system that we are carrying
out in Pakistan, the same way we will continue it in Kashmir,
and the same way we will implement the Sharia system in India
too. And this is the only solution for people's problems,"
Rehman reportedly said. The translation was provided by the MEMRI,
a Washington-based think tank. Rehman, against whom the US has
announced a USD five million (PKR 27 crore) reward over his involvement
in the murder of seven CIA officials in Afghanistan in December
2009, is believed to have appeared on video along with TTP ‘chief’
Hakimullah Mehsud. The two militant leaders have spoken for the

The TTP said that they would cease their occasional
attacks on the Army in their stronghold of FATA and concentrate
attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan instead – an announcement
possibly designed to head off divisions in the insurgency. The
ceasefire does not apply to the rest of the country, where there
are often fierce clashes between the TTP and security agencies.
Thousands of soldiers are stationed in North Waziristan. There
have been occasional clashes there between the soldiers and TTP,
but a leaflet issued by TTP ‘Chief’ Hakimullah Mehsud ordered
those to stop. A senior commander confirmed the pamphlet’s veracity.
“O Mujahideen brothers! As you know, the Pakistani and Afghan
Taliban under the leadership of Mullah Muhammad Omar Mujahid are
engaged in jihad against the crusaders and infidels, and are supporters
of each others in the ongoing holy war,” the pamphlet said.

Dandy Darpakhel / NWA / FATA |
Hakimullah Mehsud, the 'chief' of the TTP, was
killed in a US drone strike in Dandy Darpakhel area, five kilometers
(three miles) north of Miranshah, the main town of NWA in FATA.
Intelligence officials said Hakimullah was leaving from a meeting
at a mosque in Dandy Darpakhel area when the drone targeted their
vehicle. Five militants, including Abdullah Bahar Mehsud and Tariq
Mehsud, both key militant commanders and close aides of the TTP
chief, were also killed with two others injured in the drone strike,
multiple sources confirmed.
Hakimullah Mehsud along with other militants killed
in the drone strike, was buried in NWA. Sources said that besides
Hakimullah Mehsud, his uncle, driver and other aides buried at
different places NWA.
The Government has not yet confirmed the death
of Hakimullah, reports The News. However, it has stopped the delegation
from visiting NWA to hold peace talks following the reports of
TTP chief's death. Strongly condemning the US drone attack in
North Waziristan, Pakistan Government reiterated that these strikes
are a violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the
country. Foreign Office Spokesman Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry in a statement
said that there was an across the board consensus in Pakistan
that these drone strikes must end.
According to the sources, TTP's Markazi majlis-e-Shoora
would appoint their new chief. The South Waziristan TTP chief,
Khan Said Sajna alias Khalid is likely to succeed Hakimullah Mehsud
as TTP chief. Chief of Mohmand Agency Umar Khalid Khurasani is
also a strong contestant for the slot as he is the only surviving
senior Taliban commander who had directly commanded operations
under Hakimullah. Mullah Fazlullah, the chief of the Swat Taliban,
is another senior TTP commander but unlikely to replace the assassinated
TTP chief for not belonging to Mehsud clan.
Jen Psaki, the spokesperson for the US State Department
said that "We have seen those reports but we don't have anything
for you on that. The reports just came out. We have a close cooperative
relationship with Pakistan on various issues, including counter-terrorism
but I do not have anything specific for you on Pakistan on this
report."
Reacting to US drone strike, PTI chairman Imran
Khan demanded the Government to block NATO supplies going through
the country. Imran Khan further said that the US drone attack
was as a conspiracy to sabotage talk's effort. Earlier on October
31, Imran Khan issued a warning that his party will block the
NATO supply line if the US made any drone strike to disrupt the
talk's process with the TTP. His party is set to table resolutions
in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly and National Assembly on November
4 in this regard.
The TTP said that they have had "no contact" with
the Government, a day after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said a
process to initiate peace talks had been started. The TTP 'spokesperson'
Shahidullah Shahid said that there had been no overtures. "No
one has yet contacted us. The Government is making announcements
only by media, no peace talks have yet been started," Shahid said.
"The beginning of peace talks means sitting at a table and discussing
issues, no such thing has yet happened."
US was closely following reported talks between
the Pakistan Government and the TTP but would let Islamabad define
those negotiations, the State Department said. "We are, of course,
following it closely as you would expect … but this is an internal
matter for Pakistan," the department's spokesperson Jen Psaki
told a briefing in Washington.
