Mohmand Taliban give govt three days to remove checkposts
2008-04-29
GHALANAI: If the government does not remove all military checkposts from Mohmand Agency within three days, the Taliban will not accept any peace agreement with the government, spokesman Dr Asad warned on Monday. He told Daily Times by telephone that if the government did not remove the checkposts, the Taliban would destroy them themselves. He also warned all criminals, including murderers, proclaimed offenders and robbers, to immediately leave the agency or be prepared to face judgement in accordance with Islamic laws. To a question, he said that the government had failed to tackle crime in the area, alleging that some government officials were backing the criminals.
