Most wanted Taliban leader in ‘death throes’

The leader of Taliban militants in Swat Valley has been critically wounded and is close to death, a report quoting the BBC said yesterday. The information about Maulana Fazlullah confirms statements from senior government and security officials. A former village cleric, Fazlullah founded the branch of the Taliban movement which eventually took over the Swat Valley. After a recent offensive, the Army said it had almost defeated rebels in that sector of the northwest. The government said it had regained control of the region. The information about Maulana Falzullah was gathered from interviews carried out by the BBC in his heartland in the northwest of Pakistan.

What he has to do when he meets 72 'she-devils':

(1) Shave his beard and have some hair cut.

(2) Lose lots of weight.

I think he is being choked to death by his beard. Maybe a shave and a hair cut would help. Never mind, let him choke.

Imagine how many fleas are living among his beards. Won't surprise me if they have something to do with his current medical situation, not bombs.

Maybe being fat makes one difficult to detect by a radar, that is, stealthy. :-)

Political leaders have warned that Baitullah Mehsud, Pakistan's Taliban commander, is exploiting the political and refugee crisis to destabilise Karachi, the largest city in the country, writes Nicola Smith.

Thousands of Pashtun refugees loyal to Mehsud have fled to Karachi in the past few months to escape fighting in the northwest. More are expected to arrive from South Waziristan, on the border with Afghanistan.

This has led to fears that Pakistan's commercial capital, home to the banking industry and stock exchange, is becoming “Talibanised”.

Syed Mustafa Kamal, mayor of Karachi, warned that Taliban insurgents are using their refugee status to establish strongholds.

Explaining that remittances were funding Taliban fighters, he said: “Karachi has become the revenue engine for the Taliban. If our enemies hit Karachi, then Pakistan's stability will be in question. Karachi is the fuel for Pakistan's economy.”

The mayor claimed the city had 3,000 madrasahs (religious schools), which were closed to local students, and that the Taliban had begun to threaten women in short sleeves. Police said militants planned a terrorist strike.

I think i'd like a little more explaining about this! Just who is being referred to as "our enemies"?
