Taliban to support Pak against India
Updated on Tuesday, December 23, 2008, 00:00 IST
Islamabad, Dec 23: Hunted by the US and NATO forces for committing acts of terror in Afghanistan, the Taliban Tuesday said they would back the Pakistan Army by deploying hundreds of suicide bombers in case of any military action with India.

Claiming that "thousands of our well-armed militants are ready to fight alongside the army if any war is imposed on Pakistan," chief of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, told The News daily by phone from an undisclosed location.

Hundreds of would-be bombers had been "given suicide jackets and explosive-laden vehicles for protection of the border in case of any aggression by the Indian forces", he said.

"The time had come, to wage a real jihad that the Taliban had been waiting for," Mehsud, for whom the Pakistani and US forces are on the look out claimed.

"We know very well that the visible and invisible enemies of the country have been planning to weaken this lone Islamic nuclear power. But the mujahideen will foil all such nefarious designs of our enemies," he said.

This is for the first time Mehsud has admitted that Taliban has marshalled thousands of fighters close to the Afghan-Pak border and where Pakistani army has launched a major operation to flush them out.

Mehsud said people might question how the Taliban would fight alongside the Pakistan Army when the militants had been fighting the force for a long time.

Thank you very much mr. mehsud, u have clarified the position of urs and isi /army. it seems that eventualy the talibanisation of pak. has come to full throttle. does world needs any proof for terrorist origin. now we do not need convience world community for status of pak. as terrorist state , but press them for UN SANCTION . this will leads to collapsed of economy. they will come to all terms and condition we set. perhaps we may not need to go allout war. -ambrish - guj a

But the kind of friednds it has ...INDIA will not be able to tackle . I haveinduan friends here ...its not affecting here ....its all happening in india and pakistan . Both the countries are neuclear powers and BOTH are dangerous .....Its only a matter of few weeks , everything willmellow down. I request all to be in peace and just let it be .Terrorists are there everywhere in the world. But it doesnt not make its citizens bad .Just becoz of few bad fishes in the sea you cannot blame the entire country . We are humans too . I am sure INDIA is not a country filled with Saints ! .

In response to Mr. Rams comment on Mr. A. R. Antulays History Regarding the Cement Scandal Mr. Ram should Know that He fought the case and supreme court cleared him from the allegation Made by communal minded Ram Naike but Mr. Ram Forget the BJP president Laxuman Bhangaru was shown on camera the Money he was accepting for the BJP and still he did not cleared Mr. Ram and All likeminded communal and anti Indian person should know that it the political right of a person to raise the question and doubt over any Issues. Antuley did not Visited Pakistan like Lal Krishana Advani an immigrant of Pakistan Sindh who visited Pakistan and Mr. Jinahs Tom and Claim Mr. Jinah as a Nationalist and a Great leader Who Divide our motherland. Mr. Ram from Pune and All BJP Leader and Sangh privare should ask this Sindhi Mr. Lal Krishna Advani to go back Pakistan from where he came to India. Antuley is never wrong to say That the ATS Officer who were our national Asset to inquire who order them to go to Cama Hospital three Gems of our security together who killed by the Pakistani terrorist. He was not wrong The same questions were Raised after Batala house encounter where one Police officer was killed than it was not wrong and Antuley is Wrong this the logic of Mr,Ram An Sangh Parivar.
