Militants threaten residents to vacate Peshawar neighbourhood
2014-04-16
[DAWN] A pamphlet, attributed to the banned Lashkar-e-Islam (LI), was distributed in a neighbourhood of the Khyber Pakhtunhwa capital threatening residents, mostly Shia Mohammedans, to vacate the area in the next ten days, police said on Tuesday.

Residents of Pahari Pura's Manzoor Colony were warned of serious consequences failing to follow the forces of Evil warning.

The threatening pamphlet, with letter head of LI chief Lutfullah, said that the myrmidon outfit's shura (council) has decided to act against the colony, without elaborating what caused to offend it.

Lashkar-e-Islam -- a Bara-based myrmidon organization in Khyber tribal region led by Mangal Bagh
...a former bus driver, now head of the Deobandi bandido group Lashkar-e-Islam and the Terror of Khyber Agency...
-- was banned in 2008.

Police said they have launched an investigation to ascertain the pamphlet's authenticity. They said police contingent has been increased with more patrolling in the area.

A local holy man in Bara, Mufti Munir Shakir formed the Lashkar-e-Islam in December 2004 after Sipah and Malikdinkhel rustics announced their full allegiance to him. However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
the holy man was expelled from Bar Qambarkhel area after only six months owing to his bad boy views and differences with Haji Namdar, another myrmidon commander of the area.

Both Mufti Munir Shakir and Pir Saifur Rehman were forced to leave Bara after a jirga of local elders gave a consensus verdict following bloody festivities between the supporters of the two in early 2005. Mangal Bagh, a bus driver-turned-militant was elevated to the position of amir (chief) of Lashkar-e-Islam in May 2005.

Pak security forces demolished the house of Haji Rabat and destroyed the FM radio station set up in a mosque after they started the first military operation against Lashkar-e-Islam in mid-2005.
