US shifted Hakimullah Mehsud, Taliban leaders to Afghanistan: General Beg | Former Pakistan Army Chief General (retired) Mirza Aslam Beg has alleged that the US has shifted the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakimullah Mehsud and the
other Taliban leadership to Afghanistan. General Beg said when the Pakistan Army
started the operation in South Waziristan, a helicopter flew from the Bagram Airbase
in Afghanistan and shifted Hakimullah Mehsud and other militants to Afghanistan
. He said Hakimullah Mehsud and other militant commanders were present in Afghanistan
, and alleged that the US was backing the militants fighting against the Pakistan
Army in South Waziristan Agency. General Beg said that the Research and Analysis
Wing (RAW) of India wanted to detach the tribal areas from Pakistan but it did
not succeed in its designs. Commmenting on the current wave of terrorism in the
country, especially in Peshawar , he said these incidents could be a reaction
to the Waziristan operation but possibilities of the US and other foreign actors'
involvement could not be ruled out. Responding to a question about the operation
Rah-e-Nijat, he said the people were talking about the difficulties in the operation
and the possibility that the Army could be trapped in the area but due to an effective
strategy, the military succeeded in clearing the area of the militants within
a month and the remaining task would be completed soon. The News quoted General
Beg as saying that the US efforts could neither succeed in Afghanistan nor could
get a safe exit from the Afghan soil until it corrected its attitude with the
Pakistan Army. He added the Pakistan Army and the Taliban could give a safe exit
to the US from Afghanistan. |
