The Interior MinistryÂ’s National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) has warned three federal ministers that they are on the hit list of Baitullah Mehsud and should take extra security measures, sources told Daily Times here on Wednesday. The sources said that | Baitullah Mehsud, believed to be the head of Taliban operations in South Waziristan, was running the biggest suicide training camp in the country. |
“Yes I have received a letter from the Interior Ministry showing concern over my security,” Mr Ahmad confirmed. NCMC Director General Brig. (r) Javed Iqbal Cheema in his letters to both ministers said that the group that tried to kill Mr Sherpao at Charsadda last month might attack them with car bombs, said the sources. The NCMC suggested that both ministers take preventive measures to forestall any such attack. Brig Cheema didn’t confirm the report. “It is a sensitive matter which should not be discussed,” he said. Sources said that intelligence agencies had also asked Mr Sherpao to enhance his security and minimise his public appearances.
