Tank, 22 June (AKI/DAWN) - A Taliban commander Maulvi Jalal Al Din Haqani has asked his supporters not to wage war against Pakistan, while renewing his pledge to continue the jihad against the United States and the government of Afghan president Hamid Karzai. The message was in a pamphlet purportedly issued by Maulvi HaqaniÂ’s son, Khalifa Alhaj Sirajuddin, in Angoor Adda, about 65 kilometers from Wana, the district headquarters of the tribal area of South Waziristan which lies on the Pakistan-Afghan border.
The pamphlet, which was issued on Wednesday, said that those fighters who had declared jihad on Pakistan did not have any place in Taliban ranks, as it was not their policy to launch a war against the country. However, the pamphlet renewed the call for continuing jihad against American forces and the Karzai government in Afghanistan. | "Why attack Pakistan? We own most of it already." |
