WAZIRISTAN: The spokesman of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said the peace talks cannot be successful until the withdrawal of army troops from the tribal areas and the release of prisoners. In an interview to a group of journalists at a secret location in Waziristan, the TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid also demanded an end to the drone strikes. He disclosed that they were being funded by Afghan Taliban. He said in the beginning the Pakistani Taliban used to provide financial help to the Afghan Taliban but now the latter had become so strong that they no longer needed support from the former. Now they extend assistance to others besides providing secure positions in Afghanistan, he added. Shahidullah Shaid told the journalists that the Afghan Taliban had also provided shelter to Mullah Fazlullah in Kunar province. Referring to Malala Yousafzai, he said she was not attacked for pursuing education but for her going against the religion of Islam. Had we got another chance, we would attack her again, he added.
