Statement of Pakistani Taliban (TTP Central) About Their "Former" Spokesman Who Has Allegedly Given Baya (Allegiance) To Jama'at Al-Dawla (ISIS)

By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun
Shaahidullah Shaahid is an “imaginary” name which is
used by a person who becomes Spokesman of TTP Central.
Shaykh Maqbool has also been spokesman of TTP Central,
Therefore, he was called Shashidullah Shaahid.
Long ago, another brother had replaced Shaykh Maqbool
and was promoted to spokesman of TTP (Means, He became
Shahidullah Shahid).
We did not announce that due to our policy. But Shaykh
Maqbool used this name (Shahidullah Shahid) for his
individual purpose.
We want to make it clear that Shaykh Maqbool is not
Shaahidullah Shaahid (He’s not our Spokesman anymore).
As for the Baya to ISIS, Emir of TTP Central, Mulla
Fazlullah (Hafizahu Allah) has already cleared that
our baya is to Emir al-Mominin Mulla M. Omar (Hafizahu
Allah).
Lastly, We will soon announce the name of our New
Spokesman.
