Mullah Fazlullah is in Pakistan: Shahidullah Shahid
Islamabad maintains that Mullah Fazlullah is based in the Kunar province of Afghanistan and has sought from Afghanistan the extradition of the TTP chief as well as the dismantlement of what it calls the militant outfit’s longstanding hideouts in Kunar and Nooristan provinces.
Speaking to the BBC, TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid said that Mullah Fazlullah was not under the influence of the Afghan government even when he was in Afghanistan and added that the TTP has never been aided by any government.
Shahid also said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government treated the negotiations between the government and the Taliban as a joke, saying they mishandled it even more than the governments of Musharraf and Zardari.
The Pakistan Army is currently engaged in a major military offensive against the Taliban in the North Waziristan tribal region.

How much shamefully and shamelessly international media like BBC represents TTP's stances and statements before the world!!!!!!
@Junaid Baloch: This bloke has been informing our local media from unknown location for many years....it is we who have not been able to pin point his calling location till today, intentionally or un-intentionally, but doubt it in this era of technology.....why the media do not inform our LEAs of such calls when made ? is this not their moral responsibility to do so, otherwise, if we are serious to stop this menace, we must frame laws to force these media outlets to inform LEAs the moment they receive such calls.....they should record it too. All media outlets must be provided with call locator if we need to nab SS & others like him....in order to get rid of this menace, otherwise, all what we are trying to do TODAY will be " zilch "...
Speaking to the BBC!!! How? when? where?
Not Abbotabad, he will be found near Raiwind...birds of the feather, all flock together...if you know what I mean...
The Games Agencies Play !
OBL was never in Pakistan according our army statements all those years before his killing. Pakistan insisted he is not in Pakistan but Afghanistan. Afghanistan insisted that he is not in their country but Pakistan. Pakistanis always contented that he may be living in a remote cave. The world has seen who has been the bigger liar. One man no matter where he is living is nothing without his support base. Let us make sure we eliminate all his supporters and then he would become useless.
My comment was censored even though, I merely stated that there is a propaganda war brewing and the sources of the propaganda disseminated by both sides are not credible.
Forget polio drops. Truth serum is what Pakistanis need. The 'agencies' claim one thing. The politicians quite another. The people meantime have their own conspiracy theories that are in a league of their own. No nation thrives in such conflict. Fact is, Pakistan only survived this long because of American generosity. But they have learned their lesson after May 2.
Where dear? Point him to the drones please!
why do Pak establishments lie and deny in harboring of terrorists..again they will become red faced when another terrorist will be found in Pak near army establishment with full state security
@Sam: "corrupt terrorists" that's hilarious.
Now it proves This TTP are on pay role of Afghan National army and CIA with RAW: India invest 5 billion rupees and now giving training to Afghan army with help of USA: I hav trust in PAk army rather criminals like TTP people
@Unbelievable, Obviously you don't know much about Pakistan, why would Mullah Radio who has killed thousands of Armymen be provided protection by the Army?
Why the express tribune has made this a news . Let them say what they say and to whom they say .
The same people who claimed to abide by a "ceasefire", murdered 40 in Karachi. Shahidullah we will shut you up once and for all.
And why can't he have the courage of coming out and fight like a man... No point in fighting like cowards and hiding in the mountains mr ttp. Anyways Pak Army will inshallah get him as well if he in in there...
@unbelievable: yes you are right, Indian funded Abbottabad in Kabul, few thumb printing NDS people.... you will see soon, Fazullah will be hit in Kabul based abbottabad...and thrown in kunar river for no funeral....
Wrong. He is provided security by Indian intelligence and he is based in Afghanistan.
@unbelievable: The TTP are just liars working for India through their lackeys in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has to be pressured to give up this coward who is only brave against women and unarmed civilians.
How do we know Shahidullah-Shahid is lying?
His lips move.
Here we go.trying to help afghan government to lie about his presence in Afghanistan.why did Mr spokesman did not care to deny his presence in Afghanistan before and why now. Liar
"...they mishandled it even more than the governments of Musharraf and Zardari."
oh really! No double game during this govt and with this COAS.
Every time PML is in power, there is a military operation conducted somewhere in the nation. Shows how incapable PML is in handling issues politically. God bless our troops and curse these corrupt terrorists and politicians.
lol looks like TTP still think that they have sympathizers in our nation. These ploys (contradictory statements) won't work, not this time. Our nation stands shoulder to shoulder with Pak Army.
Sincerly, our media should censor out all TTP news, could careless about what these fools have to say to BBC.
Liar
Neither the Taliban or Pakistan has much credibility - for all we know he's living in Abbottabad.
