TTP media cell has been busy since the past few days. In addition to new promises to murder young girls, spokesman Shahidullah Shahid has also explained that TTP is receiving funding and sanctuary from the Afghan Taliban.
“The Afghan Taliban are our jihadi brothers,” said Shahidullah Shahid in an interview in Waziristan, the Taliban’s main tribal sanctuary in Pakistan along the Afghan border.
“In the beginning, we were helping them, but now they are strong enough and they don’t need our help, but they are now supporting us financially.”
None of this is really news, of course. TTP has been telling of their support from Afghan Taliban for long. In 2009, TTP leaders even swore allegiance to Mullah Omar.
That the idea of ‘Good Taliban’ and ‘Bad Taliban’ even exists is a testament to the effectiveness of media operations out of certain quarters who, despite being convinced of their own cunning, haven’t figured out that they’ve been had.
And so, while TTP militants are butchering innocents and giving life threats against defenceless school girls, we are served the same old reheated dishes.
All those still confused between genuine Afghan Taliban and CIA backed TTP must watch my English program on DIN News tonight at 8 PM.

…which I’m sure Shahidullah Shahid appreciates since it makes his job so much easier.
[…] Taliban and TTP operate autonomously and with separate command structures, there has always been plenty of evidence disproving the lie that the Afghan Taliban is ideological organization and TTP i…. If any more was needed, though, it was given openly by the Afghan Taliban on Saturday when they […]
