Re: Taliban vow to kill Imran Khan if he leads march to tribal area

I think we MUST mention the Tehreek E Taliban Pakistan whenever referring the Pakistani Terrorists Group and not just Taliban!

Evidently the Taliban are opposed to anyone who describes themselves with the word “liberal”.

Will Imran Khan back down in the face of these threats or face them head on?

SHAWAL: The Taliban have threatened to kill Pakistani cricket star turned politician, Imran Khan, if he holds a planned march to their tribal stronghold to protest US drone attacks.

Although the Pakistani Taliban also oppose the strikes, spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said they would attack Imran Khan because he calls himself a ”liberal” a term they associate with a lack of religious belief.

The threat could surprise many in Pakistan who have criticized Khan for not being tough enough on the Taliban and instead focusing his criticism on the government’s alliance with the US.

Khan has described himself as a liberal, but has also said he is a practicing Muslim. Ahsan spoke to The Associated Press in an interview on Monday in the militant group’s stronghold of South Waziristan.
