Release of Owais Shah is  TTP and Al-Qaeda defeat

Dr. Jassim Taqui

Full credit to the Pakistani army for recovery of the advocate Owais son of the  Chief Justice of Sindh High Court Sajjad Ali Shah in an operation near Tank , a semi-tribal frontier region, on 18^th July 2016.

During the operations, 3 terrorists who kidnapped Shah and were planning to smuggle him to Afghanistan were killed.

Subsequently,  TTP and Al-Qaeda declared responsibility for the kidnapping of Shah.

This brings to the fore the issue of  the presence of TTP and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. It also shows that the NDS is glove in hand with two top terrorist outfits, which are banned by the United Nations.

It is these terrorist outfits, which are behind terrorist operations against civil and military institutions in Pakistan  including the barbaric Army Public School massacre of 16^th December 2014 in which Afghan terrorists  from Afghanistan infiltrated to Peshawar, the capital of PK Province  and mercilessly killed 141 people including 132 children.

Ostensibly, the NDS has been encouraged to continue sponsoring TTP and Al-Qaeda and giving them safe havens inside Afghan territories . This has been possible due to the mind-boggling silence of the United Nations, United States and Western  regimes.

However, one would forewarn all and sundry that such policy is extremely ominous. The terrorists you are supporting today would turn against you tomorrow.
