Taliban’s Continuing Anger Against China

(September 05, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Tehrik-e-Taliban
Pakistan (TTP) has not forgotten the role of China in exercising
pressure on the then President Pervez Musharraf to order commando
action inside the Lal Masjid of Islamabad from July10 to 13,2007. The
commando action led to the death of Abdul Rashid, a cleric popular
with the Pashtun tribals, and of a large number of tribal girls from
the Pashtun tribal belt studying in a girls' madrasa attached to the
Masjid. The madrasa was destroyed during the commando action.

Before the commando action, there was an incident in Islamabad in
which students studying in the girls' madrasa attached to the Lal
Masjid---some of them Uighurs--- kidnapped six Chinese women working
in a massage parlour of Islamabad and accused them of working as
prostitutes. They were subsequently released. It was after this
incident that the Chinese authorities strongly took up with Musharraf
the question of taking action against the madrasa students who were
responsible for the kidnapping. Unnerved by the strong Chinese
reaction, Musharraf ordered the commando action, which resulted in a
huge tragedy.
