RAWLPINDI: In a massive operation by the Pakiostani armed forces in South Waziristan, Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (South) arrested an suicide bomber whose confession exposes an organized link between the Afghan Taliban and the group referred to as Fitnah al-Khawarij.
The suicide bomber has revealed that how the Taliban leadership misleads the young minds to carry out massive militant attacks in Pakistan.
The detained man identified himself as Nimatullah, son of Musa Jan, a resident of Kandahar province.
The suicide militant confessed that he was a student at the Johriya madrasa studying hifz (Qur’an memorization) when some people there began persuading him that jihad against the Pakistani military was justified.
He has said that he and about 40 others gathered in Khost and entered Pakistan via Chivar, later reaching the Lalay Zai area of Barwand in South Waziristan, where a Taliban training center was located.
Nimatullah named his trainer as a commander called Omar Hamas, who oversaw suicide-attack training.
He said the full course lasted three months though he personally received only a week of instruction.
Recruits were taught methods including vehicle-borne suicide attacks and assaults on checkpoints and military posts.
He described a group of roughly 20 young recruits aged about 18–22. During training he heard the call to prayer and realized that the Pakistani soldiers were fellow Muslims, leading him to conclude that attacking them would be forbidden (haram).
His revelations underscore concerns that the Afghan Taliban are recruiting and religiously indoctrinating underage Afghan youth for terrorist activities against the Pakistani security forces.
