Talking to this correspondent on phone on Thursday, TTP front man Shahidullah Shahid said they knew that Malala would get awards from the enemies of Islam.
"Malala abandoned Islam for secularism for which she is being given awards," he said, adding that the media and the international community should keep in mind that students of Jamia Hafsa, Islamabad, were never given any award despite their immense bravery.
"The Taliban will not lose an opportunity to kill Malala Yousufzai and those who were found selling her book will be targeted."
He denied that Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
TTP commander Mullah Fazlullah
...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan...
had been killed in an ambush as reported by the media from the Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
of Afghanistan.
He also said the government was not serious about talks with the Taliban.
"We are not killing innocent people. A third force is targeting common people to malign the Taliban," he said.
