Taliban Threaten Pakistan’s Domestic Media
Breaking News across AAJ TV is a new threat from the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan:
Hanging posters in front of newspaper and media channel offices, the Taliban have threatened the Pakistani domestic media of dire consequences if they continue to report negative stories about the Taliban, their activities and the Nizam-e-Adl.
The Fidayeen division of Tehrik-e-Taliban has accused the Pakistani media of projecting a negative impression of the Taliban, their activities and the Nizam-e-Adl. They also claimed that for the past week, the Pakistani media has been supporting the US and the Government of Pakistan and this should come to an immediate end otherwise cases will be brought in the Sharia courts of the Malakand division.
So far, the only news channel to report this is AAJ TV (and that too in the televised breaking news report), but you have to wonder why the others aren’t saying anything yet?
Will the media of Pakistan continue to be strong?
We are trying to get a picture of the poster, but if you have a picture, please email it to us (b...@emagine-group.com) or point us to a link.
