Taliban planning more suicide attacks in Pakistan, says intelligence reports
Islamabad, Feb 22 : If Pakistan intelligence agencies' reports are to be believed, the Taliban are planning to carry out 12 suicide attacks in various parts of Pakistan, which has already been a victim of a series of suicide bombings this year.
The attacks have been planned by Taliban commanders such as Baitullah Mahsud, Abdullah Mahsud, Sheikh Khalid Mahmood and Nazir Wazir.
Nurani, a resident of Ghazni district in Afghanistan, has been given the task to carry out a suicide attack in Islamabad or Sargodha. Gul Jan, who belongs to the Mahsud tribe in South Waziristan, has reportedly been tasked with an attack in Lahore. Miatol, who belongs to a Punjabi tribe, is stated to be planning an attack in Dera Ismail Khan. Zia-ul Haq, a resident of Shand Estate, is reported to be preparing a suicide blast in the Bahawalpur region. Mohammad Zaman, a resident of Waziristan, is said to be planning attacks in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
Terrorists were believed to be targeting senior security officials and politicians who support President Pervez Musharraf's policy of "enlightened moderation".
In the meantime, Jemima Khan, daughter of Sir James Goldsmith (Imran Kahn's ex and former follower of Hugh Grant), is said to be attending rehab, FWIW.
