| 2010-11-28 |
| Pakistain on Saturday announced a reward of 10 million rupees (around 120,000 dollars) to anyone providing information about the Taliban. "The government will make arrangements to settle the informers and their families anywhere in the country, even abroad, if they fear that Taliban might hurt them," interior minister Rehman Malik told news hounds. Malik said that most Taliban belonged to the banned Sunni bad turban outfits of Laskhar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ... has been accused of killing hundreds of Shia Mohammedans after its emergence in the early 1990s. It was banned by then president Pervez PervMusharraf ... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ... in 1999. The group played a key role in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl from Bloody Karachi and in twin failed liquidation bids on key US ally Musharraf in December 2003. Sipah-e-Sahaba is also a banned outfit behind attacks on Shias. |
