FC men slain in reaction to TTP members killings: Shahidullah

ISLAMABAD: Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said the killing of FC personnel by the Mohmand Agency Taliban was in reaction to the execution of Taliban members.

The TTP spokesman alleged their under custody members were being killed in name of the operation. He added that 23 Taliban members had been killed during the ongoing dialogue process. Shahidullah Shahid said 15 Taliban members had been killed in Nowshera and 7 in Karachi.

Shahidullah Shahid said that such actions by the government during talks were unbearable and harming the dialogue process. He said the government was making the dialogue process cumbersome, while he claimed that TTP was serious and sincere in holding talks.

According to the TTP spokesman, they have been thinking about the declaration of ceasefire for making the dialogue a success, but we are reluctant because of the government’s actions.
