PESHAWAR: A powerful breakaway faction of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan on Saturday strongly condemned the recent suicide attack on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman.
A spokesman of TTP’s Mehsud faction, which is led by Khan Said alias Sajna, has flayed the attack, saying that attacks on Ulema as disgraceful .
The spokesman, Azam Tariq, said that those involved in similar incidents were against ulema and Islam.
He said that Khan Said Sajna was still the Ameer of the Taliban’s Mehsud faction and that members of the group were united under his command.
On Thursday, at least two people were killed and dozens had been injured when a suspected suicide bomber detonated his explosives outside a JUI-F rally in Quetta.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman remained unhurt in the attack which targeted his bullet-proof vehicle. The banned militant group Jundallah claimed responsibility for the attack.
