MIRANSHAH- Member of Tehreek-e-Taliban shura, , Asmatullah Shaheen Bhittani was shot dead along with three others on Monday in an ambush on their vehicle in North Waziristan.
According to sources, unidentified gunmen attacked the TTP commander’s vehicle near Darga Mandi area of Ghulam Khan Tehsil in NW.
Three other victims were accomplices of Shaheen, sources add.
TTP has not confirmed the killing of their key shura member as yet.
Shaheen served as an interim chief after Hakeemullah Mehsud was killed in a drone attack.
There were unconfirmed reports of his death in late January, following air strikes on militant hideouts in NW.
If you live by the sword and violence then prepare to die by it as well. In this quagmire no one is another’s friend. All I know is that these people have killed innocent Pakistanis and are in a permanent state of war with the nation where something has to give.
Negotiations can not exist whilst these thugs are beheading our brave soldiers. I think the nation has woken up to the fact that they must be taken out by any means if Pakistan is to flourish.
There are no more takers of PTI’s sheer nonsense of negotiating with these people.
