piotr the great

unsd Apr 12, 2010

hello.i am from the Pakistan and i know how innocent was piotr and how was he brutally murdered by infighting among Taliban.Baitullah Mehsud (now dead)had no intentions to kill him.they just wanted for sort of bargain but than master of suicide bombers(Qari Hussain,also dead) in pakistan intervened after our government didnot released taliban POW.he did not act on advise of Taliban chief Baitulah,Qari was deputy,and killed him.after the incident Baitullah had almost waged war on Qari had other militant groups not intervened.the irony is he was very nicely treated.the taliban played football and cricket with him and learn him Pashto.the Taliban initial demand was 72 prisoners but than they dropped it to 5.again the government,s apathy damaged his cause.and brought his demise.He was killed in Darra Adam Khel,NWFP,Pakistan.surprisingly they gave him drugs so that he couldnot felt pain and than beheaded him.till today the tribal peoples of that area remebers him.they call him pootr.his killing so alienatid tribal people.after this incident TTP in Darra Adam Khel split into Two groups.the mastermind was isolated .his name is Tariq Afridi,and his fellow member accused him of killing innocent.till today they fight in the area .his case is contrary to Daniel Paerl.i have in memory no body was much sad after Daniel, killings.not bcoz he was Jew but bcoz he was American and was doing investigations about militant groups.i have great respect for him.and i will always remember him.He was innocent.He was with us to help us.i and my fellow tribal member in Pakistan deeply apologize for that shameful act.in one way we feel guilty.May his body rests in Peace.condolonces to his relatives.
