How many more times will TTP chief Fazlullah die?

By -


New Delhi, Jan 26: Mullah Fazlullah alias Radio Mullah, chief of the dreaded Tehrik-e-Taliban has died according to reports emerging from the Pakistan media. Since 2010, this is the third time that the death of Fazlullah the mastermind of the Peshawar school attack has emerged.
This time around the Pakistan media had stated that Fazlullah had been killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan.
There is however no official confirmation of the same and the Tehrik-e-Taliban too has not made any official statement on the same. If he is dead this time, then it brings about a relief for security agencies as he is a deadly operative capable of big attacks.
The Pajhwok Afghan News agency on its Twitter feed stated that Afghan officials had confirmed the killing of Taliban commander Qari Hedayatullah in a drone attack but there were "no reports" of the killing of Fazlullah.
Dead again?
News regarding the death of Fazlullah have not emerged for the first time. In the year 2010, similar news had broken out regarding the death of Fazlullah. It was said that year that he was killed along with six of his accomplices in the Barg Matal district of Afghanistans Nuristan province, which lies close to the border with Pakistan.
This had even been confirmed Mohammad Zaman Mamozai, chief of the Afghan border force for the eastern region.
The second time news of his death was reported was on December 20 2014. It was stated that the jets of the Pakistan Air Force had taken Fazlullah down in Afghanistan. However this news too turned out to be untrue. While the news floated on the media, there was no confirmation from the Pakistan military or air force.
There appears to be a pattern relating to the news of Fazlullah's death. Either the target has been genuinely missed or the TTP itself puts out such news to avoid heat on their leader. For the TTP the existence of Fazlullah is very important as he has by and large managed to keep the outfit united and made it deadlier than before.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

There are very few There are very few countries in the world where the advancement of peace talks to end a decades old civil conflict leads two gorgeous women to strip naked and canoodle for a sexy magazine shoot. Israel and Palestine? Don't think so. North and South Korea? Wouldn't bet on it. Ukraine? Possibly, but not likely. Colombia, however... absolutely! With major breakthroughs occurring in the long-running peace talks between the Colombian government and the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla group, a former member of Colombia's version of the FBI and a former guerrilla decided to give peace – and nude modelling – a chance.
