Dec 29 2013 – Shaheen ullah sat unable to express what had happened that day. As the Pakistan Army opened indiscriminate fire on the people in Mirali, he had taken his family to his uncle’s mud home for protection. Instead, mortars fell through the home of his uncle, a government school teacher at the Mirali high school, and killed 2 women and 5 children. Till then, Shaheen ullah had never imagined that the security forces would target his family. “All of our family members are government servants and 16th and 17th grade officers.” Shaheen ullah said one of the women expired after he was unable to take her to the hospital due to the army’s curfew in the area. She died in his arms. Another resident Mohammad Tayyeb lost his wife, 2 daughters and a son in the artillery attack. The family had huddled in the corner of the room. “The children were crying” from the sound of the heavy artillery.

TTP Commander Dead | TQ Wire
Following the death of Tehreek-e-Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud from a US drone attack on Friday, Pakistan is on high alert for retaliatory attacks. The TTP has announced its temporary head Asmat Ullah Shaheen Bettani. Bettani said that they had been waiting for the much talked-about peace talks, but the government killed Hakimullah instead. According to TTP internal sources, a meeting of 60 commanders was held on Saturday in North Waziristan in which 46 favored Khan Said, alias Sajna as the new head of the TTP. Differences over who should now lead the TTP however surfaced delaying the selection of a new leader. Analysts say that the TTP is dominated by the Mehsud tribe and that it will, therefore, not accept a leader outside of the tribe making Khan Said a favorite as belongs to the Mehsud. Others however have pointed out that some in the TTP view Said as having a soft-spot for Pakistan and for supporting peace talks, all of which may slim his chances of becoming the new chief. The 36-year-old belongs to South Waziristan agency, and is part of the Shubi Khel clan of the Mehsud tribe. He is a resident of Dawa Toi village and has […]
