According to a foreign media house Telegraph, TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud got killed because of his negligence and stayed for a long period of time at his new residence which caused his assassination. Some local media houses are of the view that the attempt for peace negotiations by this newly elected government and audacious stand on drone attacks caused Mehsud a bit reckless as he was beginning to trust Nawaz gumption. Both the media reports by foreign and local media houses are inane as these could only be the vague reasons for his assault.
Hakimullah was a threat for a faction of Armed forces since he managed to lead TTP but were not able to eliminate him as his support was covered with some of the high officials of Intelligence agencies both local and foreign. Major General Sanaullah Niazi along with other senior officials was killed with an improvised explosive device (IED) in the Gat Koto area when he was returning from a visit to border posts on September 16 of this year was a game changer for TTP chief as his spokesperson and he openly claimed such turpitude.
COAS Ashfaq Kiyani condemned this attack and snarled on the militants for such a deranged act amid preliminary peace negotiations. After the terrible incident of one of his closer mates, he demeaned several meetings with ISI chief and accentuated on the arrest of top leadership of TTP dead or alive as the general milieu around military or non-military spheres was dejected. Zahir ul isalm knew it would be very difficult for them to execute the plan so he arranged some meetings with CIA, whose collaboration with ISI is not hidden, and illuminated it with the new development.
A new espionage framework was nourished and two afghan militants in Afghanistan patronized by afghan intelligence and CIA were sent for Mehsud protection as they were deemed very near to Mulla Umer. That clandestine gumption made Hakimullah a soft target and has sent to the outer galaxies two days back when he was attacked by a drone, like his former chief Baitullah who was also victimized through our special intelligence efforts. The only reason for Mehsud assassination is their cruel attack on Sanaullah Niazi that not only caused his death but also will become an engender for first and last grand operation in North Waziristan as the American policy in Afghanistan in 2014 demands a massive showdown in tribal areas of Pakistan especially NW and may probably start just after Kiyanis retirement with a new COAS.
Lets hope this new development will lead us to peace and prosperity but the investors of TTP and other militant groups can also retaliate through a new wave of suicide bombing.
