Ex TTP members join IS group, behead soldier.
Former TTP spokesperson Shahidullah Shahid.
An online video released Saturday purports
to show former militants of the Pakistani
Taliban pledging allegiance to the Islamic
State group and beheading a man they
identify as a Pakistani soldier,
the Associated Press reported.
An official of the Inter-Services Public
Relations could not be reached to
confirm whether the beheaded
individual was indeed a Pakistani
soldier.
The video shows former Pakistani
Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid
along with dozens of other militants in a
wooded area. Shahid already announced
the decision in a video posted online and
sent to media persons in Pakistan and
posted online in October.
Taliban leaders from Orakzai, Kuram,
Khyber agencies, Peshawar and Hangu
district are among those who have
parted ways with the Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan and joined the IS.
Other militant leaders who identify
themselves as from Afghanistan and
Pakistan also pledged allegiance.
