Washington:
Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a million dollar bounty on the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, who claimed responsibility for the attack of teenage rights activist Malala Yousufzai, and has alleged that the plan was hatched in Afghansitan.
"This conspiracy assassination plan was made across the border in Afghanistan," Mr Malik told a private news channel in an interview.
"At that point of time, we did not exactly know what was their objective and what kind of action they were going to take, till the time they had hit Malala. Of course, one other guy we have identified and few of his associates have been arrested," he said, adding that one of the financers of the terrorists have also been detained.
Claiming that Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan was responsible for attack on Malala, Mr Malik announced USD one million as bounty for TTP leader.
"On his head, which is more than, you know, (inaudible) of Pakistani, 100 million apiece, because we want to definitely get him and all our line forces, intelligence agencies are hunting all those who were involved." he said.
Appearing on the international news channel the top Pakistani official asserted that the Government of Pakistan is taking strong action against terrorists in the country.
"Let me assure that the military leadership and of course, the civil leadership will take action at appropriate time. But at the same time, the action based on intelligence is continuing. The people of Pakistan do not want Taliban and extremism," Mr Malik said.
"Let me tell you we must know that Pakistan is fighting a war, a war which was imposed on Pakistan," he said.
"We have lost 40,000 innocent people, 16,000 line forces, fighting is a big sacrifice that when we take responsibility, this happened only because we have accepted responsibility to fight against terrorism, not only for Pakistan but for the entire world, because we want to see the terrorism free world," he said.
"And of course, it is the mindset. The mindset which you have seen and the assassination attempt on Malala shows the intent of the terrorists. Terrorists want their way of life.
