Appointing Mullah Fazallulah as the chief of of TTP was a very calculated move by Taliban ...

“President Karzai has promised to stop infiltration of militants from Afghanistan into Pakistan ,” Malik told reporters on Sunday, in a first instance of a senior Pakistani official saying on the record that the insurgency in Balochistan was being aggravated because of Afghanistan .
