| Maulvi Nazir, one of the three leaders of the Council of the Mujahedeen Union set up in Febuary, has said US troops in Afghanistan were 'absolutely' the group's target. "We have readied suicide bombers for them, they cannot escape us," Maulvi Nazir told ABC News in an interview, sitting in front of the mountains that separate Pakistan and Afghanistan. Until Nazir joined the alliance, he and another tribal leader had been clashing with dominant Taliban commander in Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, believed to be responsible for dozens of suicide attacks in Pakistan in 2008. "We, Baitullah, Hafiz Gul Bahadur and all our friends reached the conclusion that ... organisations have created mistrust and discrimination among us -- the CIA, Mossad, and especially Pakistani organisations," Nazir told ABC News. "All these divisions, cracks and mistrust were created by the enemy. Baitullah, Hafiz Gul Bahadur and I understood this and reached this conclusion and put all differences aside and united against the enemy." "We were [earlier] dealing with three evils, but now we're dealing with one big devil," a Pakistani intelligence agent in Waziristan told ABC News. "Strategically, they all can now facilitate each other more effectively." |
