Pakistan

The Movement for the Taliban in Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud’s group, ordered the Mardan car bombing “in revenge.” Former Guantanamo Bay inmate Israrul Haq was rearrested while traveling to Mardan. Banned terror groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammad, Harkatul Mujahideen, and Hizbul Mujahideen are reforming in Karachi. Sufi Mohammed’s name has been removed from a murder case.
