November 10, 2009

QUETTA (SANA): Afghan Taliban has strongly denied any association with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), says alleged Afghan Taliban commander.

The Afghan Taliban commander Abdul Manan Aka Mulla Toor Jan expressed those views during his exclusive media interview wherein he mentioned that al Qaeda has no link with the TTP embroiled in war against Pakistani forces in embattled South Waziristan and Swat district.

"The Afghan Taliban leaders have not crossed the border, they are not hiding in Pakistan, but they are targeting coalition and NATO forces from Afghanistan only" he said.

The Afghanistan Taliban commander strongly condemned targeting civilians in the alleged US drone attacks in the various bordering parts of the Pakistan for the last few years.
