Press Release
North Waziristan Operation
Raheel-Nawaz Regime has made Pak Army a Fuel for American Crusade

Traitors in political and military leadership have started military operations in North Waziristan in order to secure American interests in Afghanistan and in the region. After the visit of US Deputy Secretary of State, William Burns, to Pakistan on 9^th May, it became evident that military operations in North Waziristan are inevitable. Burns instructed Raheel-Nawaz regime that before the swearing in of the next Afghan government it must eliminate the Mujahideen based in North Waziristan who are not ready to sit with America on negotiating table in order to secure her interests in Afghanistan and who are not ready to stop Jihad against occupying American forces..

In order to comply with their master's wishes in Washington, Raheel-Nawaz regime allowed Raymond Davis network to organize attacks on military and civilian targets so that public opinion can be built in favor of military operations. Therefore we see that just a day before the visit of William Burns, ten Pakistan Army soldiers were killed in North Waziristan; and after his visit, two high ranking military officials were killed in an attack near Rawalpindi and then Karachi airport came under attack. Using the rhetoric of eliminating terrorism and their sanctuaries from the country Raheel-Nawaz regime announced an all out military operation in North Waziristan. And in order to cover their blatant treachery they named this operation as "Zarb-e-Azb" which is the name of RasulAllah's (saw) sword. Hizb ut Tahrir asks the traitors in the political and military leadership that why did they not start "Operation Zarb e Azb" when America killed dozens of soldiers and officers of Pakistan army at Salala? Why did they not start "Operation Zarb e Azb" when America attacked Abbotabad and humiliated the world's seventh largest army in front of the whole world? Why did they not start "Operation Zarb e Azb" in order to liberate Kashmir, Siachen and Sir Creek and why have they not started "Operation Zarb e Azb" against American intelligence and Raymond Davis network when Raymond Davis and FBI agent Joel Cox were arrested? In order to fulfill the orders of their American masters the Raheel-Nawaz regime has thrown Pakistan army to burn as a fuel in this American crusader war. A war of Fitna which the Pakistan Army does not want to fight rather every officer and soldier of Pakistan Army wants to fight and wage Jihad against Kuffar to liberate Kashmir and Palestine and to raise the flag of Islam high.

Hizb ut Tahrir warns the sincere officers of the armed forces that your silence is encouraging these traitors to continue in their treachery against Pakistan. Hizb ut Tahrir demands from you to remove traitors in the political and military leadership and provide Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" so that the armed forces of Pakistan can be prevented from becoming the fuel for this American war. Under the leadership of a rightly guided Khaleefah, the Officers of Pakistan Army can fulfill their desire of waging Jihad and embracing martyrdom against Kuffar. Allah says (swt),

[وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْاْ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَكُونُوۤاْ أَمْثَالَكُم]

"And if you turn away (from Islam and the obedience of Allah), He will exchange you for some other people, and they will not be your likes." [Muhammad: 38]
