ISLAMABAD: Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) top gun, Omar
Khalid Khorasani, says Hamid Mir reaped what he sowed, Samaa
reported.“He earned it for his anti Islam/mujahideen (holy warriors)
rants, his patronizing a propagandist girl (Malala Yousafzai), his
‘journalistic efforts’ to pave way for a military offensive against TTP,
and his support for democracy in the stead of religion” Khorasani wrote on the social media website Twitter.He said that Mir had only suffered divine retribution –in the form of this attack– for his sins.“I feel no hesitation in saying what goes around comes around.
It was supposed to happen sooner or later”, said his tweet.Khorasani
added that it was not like a true Muslim to do or say such
things.“Before blaming someone for a ‘reaction’ one should first look at
his own actions”, said he.Omar Khalid also known as Omar Khalid
Khorasani is the commander of outlawed TTP in Mohmand Agency. He is
considered one of TTP’s most effective and powerful leaders in the
Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). His real name is Abdul Wali

during the summer of 2007 after seizing the shrine of a famous

radical mosque in Islamabad whose followers had attempted to impose
sharia in the Pakistani capital.In July 2008, Khalid became the dominant
