Curse on Indian financial aid: Qari.

ISLAMABAD, October 21, 2009 (Balochistan Times): Defunct Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan central leader Qari Hussein has strongly denied receiving any Indian financial aid, expressing a deep curse adding, we are Muslims and not pro-India or pro-US. The military operation started by the government in Waziristan has benefited us politically as our enemy has become clear that all political parties, which supported the operation are our enemies, BBC quoted him as saying in an interview with tribal journalist on Wednesday. He said military operations are going on in the region since 2004 and the current operation for the last four or five months, in which we are being bombed, artilleries are being used but every bomb increases our vigour. Qari Hussein is believed to be the close aide of TTP former chief Baitullah Mehsud but interacts with media, quite rarely. In his 7 minutes interview recorded in Pashto language, referring to the government allegations that funds were received from India, he spat on the notion of everything Indian because we are Muslims, and not pro-India or pro-US, adding, this is propaganda and the negative character of very people, who are themselves slaves (of India and USA) and sided with them. About the allegations of Peshawar attacks, he said the attacks were works of secret agencies, to create hatred against Taliban among masses. We are not such people to kill innocent people and the suicide attacks are conspiracy against us, Qari Hussein pointed out, adding, real killings were going in Waziristan, against tribals themselves. Qari Hussein, who is believed to be the in charge of suicide bombers, defended suicide attacks and fidayeen (mercenaries).
