ISLAMABAD: Advisor to the Prime Minister on Interior Affairs, Rehman Malik has said that the top leadership of militant group Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been killed, DawnNews reported on Tuesday.

Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court, Malik said that that some low-level leaders of the TTP were still at large.

He condemned the attack carried out by the TTP on an office of a private television channel in Karachi.

The banned conglomerate had earlier admitted that they are using Afghan soil as a springboard for launching attacks on Pakistani security forces.

Sirajuddin, the spokesperson for TTP’s Malakand chapter had also revealed that they regularly move across the porous border.

    Then who made the attacks yesterday?

    Ask the same question to Raja Rental and he wouldnt know what is TTP. He was too busy commisioning on rental projects while TTP was attacking the country..

    The irony is that he was once DG FIA.
    I guess by top leadership he meant their mentor BB who was PM when these savages were cultivated to take over Afghanistan.

    Who were the ‘top leadership’ of TTP. At least, give some names of the TTP leaders if you cant show their dead bodies as proof!

    US has managed to avoid Al Qaeda attack on itself and its allies for the past 7 years – yet they just say AlQaeda has been degraded because Zawahiri is still alive.

    And here Rehman Malik says TTP top leadership has been eliminated and yet just yesterday they kidnapped 13 soldiers and beheaded 7. Of course I recall Kayani also saying that the terrorist back has been broken in April 2011.
