NEFA Exclusive Interview with Haji Muslim Khan, Chief Spokesman of Tehrik-e-Taliban Swat Valley (Pakistan) (Part 2 of 2)
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has released part 2 of its exclusive interview with Haji Muslim Khan, the chief spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the restive Swat Valley. During the second part of the interview, Khan addressed the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the Taliban view regarding future terrorist attacks inside U.S. borders. Regarding 9/11, according to Khan, "We can't tell [if] this plan [was] from Jews or from Afghanistan. [Even] if this is from Afghanistan, so you have killed how many? ...Regardless how many million they killed on 9/11, how many millions did they kill in Afghanistan, the USSR? And how many million did they kill in south and in Yugoslavia--everywhere. But they're thinking of only the 9/11 attack." Khan insisted that because U.S.-backed forces have "killed civilians here, so they [the mujahideen] must attack there, attack in the United States."
