Turkistan Bhittani or Turkestan Bettani (born {{Circa|1968}})[1] is the militant leader of a pro-government Taliban faction based in the town of Tank in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[2] He is notable for his opposition to the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).[3] Turkistan belongs to Bettani tribe (also spelled Bhittani). BackgroundDuring his teens, Bhittani joined in the anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan.[3] Later, Turkistan served in the Frontier Corps until his retirement in 1998.[1][4] He then joined the Taliban in the Afghan Civil War and remained in 2001 to fight against U.S.-led forces.[3] Challenge to the TTPAlthough at one time he was allied to Baitullah Mehsud, Turkistan Bhittani disapproved of Baitullah's violent attacks against Pakistani citizens and security forces.[1] After he lost about 40 of his men in clashes with Baitullah's forces in 2008, Turkistan joined anti-TTP forces.[9] With the implicit support of the Pakistani military, he allied himself with Qari Zainuddin Mehsud to openly challenge Baitullah.[1][5] On 8 June 2009 Zainuddin and Turkistan held a jirga of Mehsud tribal elders during which Turkistan condemned Baitullah's methods and urged the elders to fight against the leader of the TTP if he did not end his attacks against civilians and begin negotiations with the government.[6] After Zainuddin's death on 23 June 2009, Turkistan proclaimed willingness to work with the Pakistani army and American forces to combat the TTP.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal | last = Khan | first = Mukhtar A. | title = Pakistani Government Offensive in Swat Heading for the Taliban of Waziristan | journal = Terrorism Monitor | volume = 7 | issue = 17 | publisher = The Jamestown Foundation | location = | date = 2009-06-18 | url = http://www.jamestown.org/uploads/media/TM_007_40.pdf | format = PDF | accessdate = 2009-06-25}} 2. ^{{cite news | last = Khan | first = M Ilyas | title = Making friends with the Taliban | place = Pakistan | publisher = BBC News | date = 2009-06-24 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8117186.stm | accessdate = 2009-06-25}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | last = Reza | first = Jan | title = A Thorn in the Side of the Taliban: Turkistan Bhittani Biography and Analysis | publisher = American Enterprise Institute | date = 2009-08-20 | url = http://www.irantracker.org/related-threats/thorn-side-taliban-turkistan-bhittani-biography-and-analysis | accessdate = 2009-09-}} 4. ^{{cite news | last = Page | first = Jeremy |author2=Rehmat Mehsud | title = Pakistan villagers revolt against Taleban after militants want women they widowed | work = The Times | date = 2009-06-23 | url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6557586.ece | accessdate = 2009-06-25}} 5. ^{{cite news | last = Hasan | first = Syed Shoaib | title = A very strange Taliban burial | place = Dera Ismail Khan | publisher = BBC News | date = 2009-06-25 | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8118373.stm | accessdate = 2009-06-25}} 6. ^1 {{cite news | last = Shahzad | first = Akhtar | title = TTP chief asked to renounce violence | publisher = The News International | date = 2009-06-09 | url = http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=182078 | accessdate = 2009-06-26}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 7. ^1 {{cite news | title = Militant commander Bhittani speaks out against Baitullah | publisher = Dawn Media Group | date = 2009-06-25 | url = http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/19-another-militant-commander-speaks-out-against-baitullah-01 | accessdate = 2009-06-25}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Bhittani, Turkistan}}{{Pakistan-activist-stub}} 5 : Taliban leaders|Living people|Date of birth missing (living people)|Year of birth uncertain|Year of birth missing (living people) |
