The man who gave the Taliban the command to perform cold-blooded executions against innocent children, is Mullah Fazlullah. This is the leader of the Taliban organization in Pakistan who assumed responsibility for the bloodiest attack in the country’s history, on Tuesday.

The 40 year old Fazlullah is the one who ordered Taliban fighters to fire on children and teachers during school hours. He is the man who gave the order to kill Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai and plant bullets in the heads of military school students in Peshawar.

He does not hide his inhuman face, he boasts of the brutal practices of the organization, in order to gain prestige on the international scene, according to newspaper “Le Monde”. He is childless, and takes whatever he wants by force. Even his wife, he kidnapped, because her father would not agree to him being her husband.

For the Taliban to trust him, he usually gives them gifts of gold to cajole them. For some Taliban women, Pakistani “Herod” is generous and charismatic. He speaks Pashtu and according to “Liberation” newspaper, his voice is now the rule in the Pakistani valley of Swat”.

“Mullah Radio”, as is his nickname, threatens everyone daily through the airwaves, that he will massacre children, women and men, all those who have succumbed to the West.

In November 2013, he officially took upon himself the title of “emir” of the organization “Tehrik -i- Taliban”, in Pakistan, the organization which assumed responsibility for yesterday’s attack. All that know him well call him rude and arrogant. He has not been able to impose himself on his fighters. He hates music, DVDs, TV and regards them all as anti-Islamic practices.

Upon assuming power, he made it clear to the Pakistani government that he will not be working with them. His fighters have threatened and killed many barbers in Northwest Pakistan who have shaved men of their beards, since, according to him, all that shave want to be like the males in the West.

For the “Pakistani Herod”, women have no right to speak, vote, or be educated.

The Taliban “emir” is not considered unifying, so many point out that, after the death of his predecessor, former leader of the Taliban organization, Hakimullah Mehsud, after an American raid, the new leader has not managed to rally behind him his fighters. He is the first Taliban leader who does not belong to the Mehsud tribe, a fact which makes many within the organization consider him a “foreign body”.

His organization does not have good relations with the other two Taliban parties in northwest Pakistan, which maintain a modicum of cooperation with the Pakistani army. Even the Afghanistan Taliban fighters condemn yesterday’s attack.

Pakistan’s government, meanwhile, reinstated the death penalty for terrorist. The Pakistani PM announced the lifting of the moratorium on the death penalty for terrorism cases, the day after the bloody attack by the Taliban in the school in Peshawar, which ended with a death tool of 141 people, including 132 students.

The attack, the bloodiest in the country’s history, caused a wave of reaction across the country which was plunged into mourning, and international condemnation.
