Taliban Rejects Ulema Council's Fatwa On War in Badghis
[Tolo News] The head of Badghis' Ulema Council, Mawlawi Ibrahim, on Sunday said the council has issued a fatwa against the Taliban's war on security forces, but that the myrmidon leaders have rejected it.

He said the foreign leaders of the Taliban have refused to renounce violence.

Mawlawi Ibrahim said that the local Taliban has sent the text of the fatwa to their leadership in Quetta Shura
...Mullah Omar's command center, located in Quetta, that the Pak govt hasn't been able to find since its establishment in November, 2001. Honest...
in Pakistain -- the main council comprised of the top leadership of the Afghan Taliban.

He said that the Quetta Shura members have warned the Taliban leadership in Badghis that they will be eliminated if they adhere to the fatwa.

Mawlawi Ibrahim said the religious scholars issued the fatwa based on instructions in the Holy Koran and messages of the Prophet, but the Quetta Shura members are preventing the Afghan Taliban from joining the grinding of the peace processor.

"They [the Taliban rebels] are not taking any steps without orders from the foreigners [those in Quetta Shura]; even they took our fatwa to Quetta Shura in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
and they ordered the Taliban in Badghis not to renounce violence," Ibrahim told TOLOnews.

"Their madrassas in Pakistain are not for training on religious books; the madrassas are for training suicide kaboomers and for subversive activities," he said.

The Afghan army commander in the western zone, Gen. Taj Mohammad Mujahid, of the 207 Army Corps, meanwhile said that many foreign snuffies from Pak madrassas have infiltrated into Badghis and Faryab, and that they are trying to destabilize the provinces.

"As per our information, there are a number of foreign rebels in parts of Badghis and Faryab provinces," he said.

Badghis police chief, Gen. Wali Jan Sarhadi, said they would however take serious steps to stamp out insurgency.

He said: "There are myrmidons. Foreigners might also be among them. Anyone who stands against the Afghan Constitution we will stand against them."
