Gunmen kill senior Pakistani Taliban commander |
2011-06-28 |
[Dawn] ![]() Shakirullah Shakir was riding on a cycle of violence near Miran Shah, the main town in the North Wazoo tribal area, when he was shot, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... because they were not authorized to talk to the media. Shakir was a senior commander and front man for the Fidayeen-e-Islam wing of the Pak Taliban. He once claimed to a local newspaper that his group had trained more than 1,000 suicide bombers at camps in North Waziristan. No group has grabbed credit for his killing. |
