IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Islamabad, Dec 12, IRNA -- Pakistani security forces have unearthed a training center of suicide bombers in the country’s South Waziristan tribal region, IRNA reported on Saturday.
A group of journalists was shown the bombers’ center at Nawaz Kot area of South Waziristan and were briefed about the modus operandi of the terrorists for preparing the suicide bombers for the terror attacks across the country.
Major Saleem told reporters the training centre was being used for brain washing of the young suicide bombers.
Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud used to tell the young and immature brains about the attacks that they will go to paradise after death, he said.
The security forces launched major operation in South Waziristan in October and killed over 500 militants so far. Upto 80 soldiers also died.
Saleem said the religious teachers in the training centre used to deliver lectures to the young boys to convince that after their death in the suicide hit they will succeed in heaven. He informed that suicide bombers aging between 12-18 were prepared in this training centre direct under the supervision of Hakeemullah Mehsud.
The Taliban Chief instigated the bombers about their never ending good days in ‘paradise’. He said this training centre has also a Slaughter House where the kidnapped security officials were to be killed.
Major Saleem said the training centre has also a torture cell where the security officials were severely tortured and they were to be chained and injected drugs. The security forces, he said, have also captured huge cache of arms and ammunition from the training centre
He further said that the people working against terrorists and issuing decrees against them were also to be brought in the centre and slaughtered. The walls of the Slaughter House were inscribed with the blood that “those opposing us will meet the same fate”.
In response to a question, Major Saleem said, the security forces faced tough resistance while capturing this stronghold of the militants and added that after its capture, two bombers and their trainers were also arrested from the training centre.
The journalists were also shown some vulgar literature, CDs seized from the training centre besides Hashish and other drugs recovered from the adjacent mosque. The literature in Uzbek, Arabic and Pashto languages were confiscated during the operation.
