ISLAMABAD: The sudden projection and tall claims of an anti-Baitullah Mehsud militant leader from South Waziristan, Qari Zainuddin Mehsud, have created many questions in the diplomatic circles of Islamabad.

In interviews to various media organisations on Thursday, Qari Zainuddin and his deputy Haji Turkistan had alleged that Baitullah was an American and Indian agent, he had killed Benazir Bhutto and that the real Jihad was going on in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan.

Many diplomats contacted Foreign Office and Interior Ministry officials as well as media persons, seeking answers to their questions. Some Western diplomats were particularly confused over the claim that Baitullah was an American agent and that he had killed Benazir Bhutto. These diplomats were asking a question that if Baitullah was involved in the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, does that mean that the American authorities were also involved in the conspiracy.

We have to abandon this theory of "Good Taliban and Bad Taliban." when Abdullah mehsud had kidnapped Chinese Engineers then he was a bad Talib and at that Talib Baitullah was a good Talib. The security forces had also entered into a peace deal with baitullah in Feb 2005. Now he is a bad Talib and Qari Zainuddin, belonging to Abdullah's group is a good Talib. The Pakistani establishment has to abandon this dirty game. It is an open secret that after Mumbai attack the head of an intelligence agency had told selected group of media persons that the TTP would fight along with Pakistan army if the Indian forces dared to attack them. what happened in swat for two years is not hidden from any one. This time it is claimed that the security forces are serious. Let's see how serious they are.
