Authorities have begun legal proceedings against outlawed militants Noor Wali Mehsud and Ahmed Hussain, also known as Gat Haji, following the interception of a phone call between the two. In the call, Mehsud was heard instructing Hussain to attack government properties and schools.
Following these instructions, a girls' school in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, was destroyed using an IED. Additionally, a teacher named Mira Jan from Tank was killed in a targeted attack.
The government of Pakistan has initiated legal action based on this phone call. Law enforcement agencies conducted a forensic test of the call, which positively identified the voices as those of Mehsud and Hussain.
Authorities have stated that terrorists involved in such activities will not be pardoned, and actions disguised as enforcement of Sharia law that result in harm to innocent civilians will not be tolerated.
