The most important supporter militants killed by the rebels was a former Pakistani spy Amir Sultan Tarar - better known as Colonel Imam - that have helped the Taliban rise to power in Afghanistan in 1990.
The Pakistani Taliban declared in February that he was shot dead after Tarar captivity for 10 months in northwestern Pakistan, because the government failed to meet their demands. The Taliban in Pakistan have links with their brethren in Afghanistan, but focuses on the fight against the Pakistani state.
The Pakistani government has denied the allegations of the Taliban, saying Tarar died of a heart attack in January in captivity.
About a year ago, a suicide bomber attacked a rally held by the remaining-e-Islami, another Islamic group, which is the likable variety of targets of the Taliban and regularly criticizes the action against the army. The attack killed over 20 policemen and civilians. The police assumed the objective could be agents to watch over the rally.
