Muslim Khan
Muslim Khan was a spokesman for the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan of Swat. He was born in Kabal Tehsil of Swat.
In an interview with New England Foundation for the Arts, when asked about his usage of American-styled English and pronunciation, he revealed that he had lived for some time in Boston.[1] He had spent 4 years in the USA and worked as a painter in Boston.[2]
In April 2009 he denounced any Pakistanis who disagreed with his interpretation of Islam calling them non-Muslims.[3] It was also revealed due to a telephone intercept that Khan had urged attacks on the families of soldiers. "Strikes should be carried out on their homes so their kids get killed and then they'll realise".[4] Before the start of the Army offensive against the Taliban, Khan claimed that his fighters controlled "more than 90 per cent" of Swat.[5]
After the 2009 operation in Swat he was still at large, vowing that his men will step up attacks.[6] However he was arrested on 10 September by the security forces of Pakistan [7] in the suburbs of Mingora.[8]
