A double-cabin vehicle had detonated outside Central Investigation Department Senior Superintendent (CID SSP) Chaudhry Aslam's residence destroying his house. This, according to the video, was a step in fighting against a “tyranny in which Pakistan is first and foremost.”
The attack, which killed eight people, including a school teacher and her son, was for long believed to have been a suicide car bomb carried out by militants linked to the deadly TTP who have attacked law enforcement agencies in similar attacks in other parts of the country.
The video released by the Taliban on Tuesday shows a man, claiming to be the suicide bomber sitting next to a laptop computer under a banner reading “Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Karachi Chapter”. He claims in the video that that the attack was a premeditated assault.
The alleged suicide bomber says that Pakistan, which was intended to be a country for the 'pure', is now ruled by those who are 'impure'. That the rulers of Pakistan are foremost in spreading tyranny of the Kuffar (disbelievers).
“The name Pakistan has 'Paak' (clean/pure) in it but its 'napaak' (impure) rulers actions have even stunned the Kuffar,” he says in Urdu with the Taliban poster on his back, a laptop, a pistol and what seems to be a copy of the Quran on a small table sitting next to him.
A long black frizzled beard interrupting, and at times being the arresting the attention of his right hand, which moves incessantly throughout the video, the potential suicide bomber says, “The rulers are without honour and enemies of religion [Islam]. They work day and night to serve the Kuffar. On the instructions of Kuffar they massacre Muslims. Apart from 'martyring Qurans', they have been destroying mosques as well.”
One can hear the sound of traffic outside the small room in which he seems to be sitting, it does not stop him from continuing “They have been selling our mothers and sisters to the Kuffars in exchange for dollars. [in audible] We have had enough of their tyranny.”
“Everywhere you look they are trying to wipe out the Muslim race and way of life, and Pakistan is first and foremost in this.”
He then announces his intentions, “So friends, I have decided to fight back against this tyranny, starting with Pakistan. Just as Fidayeen Islam have shaken the up foundations of Pakistan, I too would etch my name in history, and tear into them and their anti-Islam plans with pieces of my body.”
The video then continues to show him sitting at the wheel of a car allegedly filled with explosives. He says, “I pray to Allah that I receive Jannat for my acts.”
Speaking in Pushto this time, with Urdu subtitles below, he says, “I’m leaving to hit the target in order to receive Allah’s pleasure; the car is filled with explosives, and now I am going to my target.”
The video then shows a still image of Chaudhry Aslam's house and a drive-by video of the house before ending.
Displaying his resolve, SSP Aslam said that the Taliban cannot deter him by releasing such videos. “I vow that I won’t let them attack the mosques and imambargahs till the last drop of my blood.”

Afghani or CIA Talibans? I have never saw video made by Afghani Taliban in my life. However I have seen video of women abused in Bosnia on CNN, fake Sri Lankan army and this CIA's TTP videos.
Great video ... Highly appreciated martyrdom ... don't worry mullah brothers these liberals only worth of a slap (sirf aik chamaat ke hain), they no how to waste ink but we we make ink from their blood
all you people need to take it easy on the religion pill... some people saying we should help our fellow muslim afghan brothers againt kaffirs? people first of all Afghans hate pakistanis with a passion so please dont think just cause their muslims they are our brothers. sadly in the 21st century its not true nor was it in the 20th 19th 18th and so on. need to stop getting involved in these religious conflicts or we will never move foward. look at the west! the ones who we call "kaffir" they dont kill their own people! there arent religious conflicts between the Catholics and protestants like there is between shia and sunnis. the west hasnt fought a religous war or allys itself with countries with same religion. we truly are about 600 years behind them in every manner
Pakistani rulers are definitely going toward kuffar.
@hammad: How and when you will see that?
FYI: Muslim is not a race. Or, if you are part of this new "Muslim race" you pretty much just said a good chunk of Muslims are not a part of it. Hitler had his aryan race (a race inside a race), you've got your Muslim race (a race inside a race by the context). You should try to adopt another label other than Muslim for yours, though. It's not original and it should be separate.
@shaheen1shaheen2: The bomber was not a misguided youth. He was a murderer and a criminal and so are his handlers. He should be condemned wholeheartedly for committing a despicable sin and a crime, instead of finding excuses for him.
Dear Salman Sheikh,
TTP’s long list of crimes leaves very little to ponder in regards to their motives. At some point we have to ask if it’s our failure to separate facts from fiction that allows these terrorists the room to further their dark and evil agenda. They have the audacity to openly confess their hatred and ideology, and then make videos in which they are blatantly claiming responsibility for their crimes. We can continue to indulge in conspiracy theories but it will not contribute to halting their terrorist activities. They will continue to attack the nation of Pakistan from all angles in their bid to weaken the government and destabilize the region. We must remember why we joined hands in the first place and, in this hour of need, put aside our differences and focus on achieving our common objectives. We have a common goal and that is to defeat these terrorists and stabilize the region. We have come too far and made too many sacrifices for us to now fall into the trap of conspiracy theories.. We need to respect each other’s hard work and build upon our efforts. The job is not done yet, but success is not out of reach. What we don’t want is to shift the momentum in the opposite direction through mistrust. We encourage everyone to support our forces who are sacrificing their lives in fighting these terrorists. We ask everyone to refrain from supporting theories that are not only baseless and unverifiable but detrimental to our success.
What a pathetic man
@Salman Sheikh: Agree with u man....
It is funny how people start to quote quanic verses in response to acts of brutality and terrorism. if these criminals had any common sense, they would not have done such a crime. Why do people think they care about what is written in the Quran.
Religion has become a joke!!!
and how can one enter jannat after killing inncoent people, even women during such cowardly attacks....people like these are really shame for Islam....only because of them Islam is considered as a terrorist religion....
What is this?
@Salman Sheikh: Sir, how did you miss Israel and India?
Muslims are the biggest enemies to muslims. Iran Vs Iraq, Iran Vs S Arabia, Pakistan Vs Afganistan, Taliban Vs non taliban, Shia Vs Sunnis, The list goes on.
“”" THE CROP OF EXTREMISM “”"” grew in last 25 years after invasion by Soviet union . USA/EUROPE through Pakistan watered/nurtured this crop and mind set as JIHADIST PRODUCTION FIELDS……NOW the same 25 years matured so called extremist need to be REPLACED by another CROP of SOPHISTICATED/EDUCATED/ CIVILISED people. So THE KEY IS INVESTMENT INTO EDUCATION,….so that a NEW PRODUCTION LINE OF CIVILISED PEOPLE could be achieved and this should and will continue to sort out the MENACE OF EXTREMISM. EDUCATION is the ONLY TOOL which gives a PERSON ability to CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT & WRONG for him and his family. ” EDUCATION is the KEY “
i cant believe people are actually trying to justify them!! i refuse to refer them as humans let alone muslims. this is indeed dark age for our country, when we cry foul for attrocities committed by non muslims on our fellow citizens and muslim ummah and at the same time we justify the actions of the ' so called muslim brethren' killing our innocnet citizens, and part of the same muslim ummah they strive to protect! like it is said two wrongs dont make a right, nor does evil kill evil, so the civilians who are dying innocently their blood will be on the hands of all invloved( directly or indirectly) and may ALLAH curse them and may they never get any peace for destorying so many lives , let alone jannat!!
These Grim reapers are nurtured by no else but the deep state itself , It is the one who made the Pakistani people gulp down religio fanatic distorted Jihadist narratives which had and cotinue till date to spread bigotry , haterd and extremism ,it by self institutionslised all of such anti human notions and it isn't letting the combat mechanism to play in to counter the menace , on the other hand we see dejected / discomforted Baloch youth restoring to such violent methods so the deep state the establishment be held responsible and accounted for such an anti social currents in Pakistan.
I salute SSP Choudhary Aslam! Sir, we love & admire you.
@hammad: so you have control over heaven
What a pity, these guys doing what Islam forbids and condems, it is very clear from their acts that TTP is bond to defame Islam and distract muslims from the reall essence of most worthy practices like Jihad.
@Chacha: I don't know their logic. I thought they are doing this for Islam? I think point is its a sin and not allowed in Islam!
An epitome of the bigoted and stunted version of religion that is being forced upon the illiterate and naive through Saudi Riyals and Wahhabi fanatics. Do we have the capacity to engage, reform and eliminate the forces at play? I do not think so and this, my friends, will cause this state to falter. A unanimous rejection of all forces that in anyway condone these acts including JuD, SSP, TTP, DPC, Shaikh Rasheed, Hameed Gul, Ijaz-ul-Haq and now to an extent PTI (saying this with a very heavy heart), is needed.
@TK: killing one innocent person is like killing all of humanity (Quran shareef)
So if you have killed one person you could just as well target all of humanity since there is no incremental sin - it is already committed. Is that the logic of the islamic suicide bomber ?
Too bad, he could have dome something for the welfare of his fellows and gone to heaven instead. At least he left a suicide note.
Using the name of Islam for killing people is totally unjust to religion but muslims are responsible for their own bad image and bad image of Islam just sharing an article ehich describes the problems of Muslim Umaah http://707monty.blogspot.com/2011/10/who-is-responsible-for-bad-image-of.html
Anybody trying to agree with this video taped dumb missile's arguments is standing their arguments on the corpses of thousands of Pakistanis murdered by religious fanatics over the last five years. I condemn this terrorists actions and his insane and murderous rampage against the underpaid guards who are our first line of defence against dumb monsters like this suicide bomber, a policeman who was doing his duty, the sleeping family of that policeman, the school right next to his house, the children and teachers at that school and the murdered teacher and her son.
Salam i hate from those people who kill innocents people for others.
Yesterday jang news reported that peace deal have been sorted out with TTp, looks like a faction of TTP is acting on itself independently in Karachi
Salam i hate from those people who kill innocents people
May the curse of Allah Almighty be on these barbarians. Surely Jehanam is waiting for them. Insha Allah.
“Everywhere you look they are trying to wipe out the Muslim race and way of life, and Pakistan is first and foremost in this.”
He is exactly right, everywhere you look the so called "Muslim" taliban are killing innocent MUSLIM civilians and wiping out its own Pakistani citizens. Haha thats what you can expect from illiterate people like them, they criticize themselves with their own tongue
The kid has a point but violence is not the answer.
It is not allowed to kill an innocent people let alone school children. Al Ma'idah 5:32 "On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land."
Can any body tell me is SSP CH. Aslam the same man about which daily ummat used to place an add showing the number of days passed after an FIR was registered against him?????
@the only rationalist left
sorry to say but you are being totally irrational here.
killing one innocent person is like killing all of humanity (Quran shareef)
“Everywhere you look they are trying to wipe out the Muslim race and way of life, and Pakistan is first and foremost in this.” <- The suicide bomber helped this cause, he killed 8 more.
Imran Khan wants to speak with these Taliban!!! Wow!
What kind of shahadat is this? killing innocent people
This video should be released along with a name and sketch of all the innocent victims of this carnage to disuade others from carrying out such attacks.
It harder to justify these actions when you see the human cost , all this blood is on this mans head and those who trained and brainwashed him.
An act of bravery indeed. Why did not you penetrate the progressive house playing night clubs in Karachi?
Nothing to say at all...nothing....
Prayers for SSP Aslam. We will see who goes into heaven, the ones who kill innocent people or the ones who protect innocent people.
David James a.k.a Rehamnullah.
Like other suicide bombers, he was not among the underage children who conducted this act of terrorism.
Thus it proves that it is not necessary that only the children conduct such terrorists acts. It can be a person of any age.
Now the question arises: how one can read the mindset of such people as what they are going to do next?
There are many shabby people with dubious characters. All of them under the present circumstances seems to be the walking bombs.
May God protect and save us all from these kind of people. Ameen.
In this era of Engineered Media, we still donot believe in un-authentic description of 9/11 accused's;
why shouldn't we believe this & other such videos to be forged????????
he was a misguided youth.may Allah(swt) forgive him,this all the result of us supporting america,we betrayed our muslim brothers in afghanistan and kashmir hence Allah(swt) is punishing us.
What does TTP wants... No Clue at all... They are the right hand of US. They are doing the same thing what US doing.
