In New Taliban Video, Taliban Suicide Bomber Explains Objective of 'Enforcement of Islamic Shari'a Across the World And the Defeat Of Infidels'

A new video released by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) details how three Taliban suicide bombers from South Waziristan planned and carried out the bombing of a key police center in Karachi on November 11, 2010.

Lauding the Taliban militants for keeping the "light of Islam" alive, the video lauds the three militants – Rahmanullah, Farmanullah and Khan Mohammad – for blowing up the headquarters of the Pakistani police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Karachi in November 2010.

The narrator says that the CID headquarters was used by Pakistani security forces and their foreign collaborators to detain, interrogate, torture and kill Islamic scholars and the Taliban mujahideen. He says that when their "torture" of Taliban fighters reached a limit, the TTP decided to dispatch the bombers to launch the attack on the CID headquarters, and adds that as part of this plan, several Karachi police officers, such as Chaudhry Aslam, were wanted by the Taliban and were targeted in recent months.

The video, which was produced by the Umar Studio, which is the Taliban's media arm, also includes pre-recorded messages from all three suicide bombers, speaking in Pashtu.
