Islamabad, Sep.13 (ANI): Following the arrest of the Swat Taliban spokesperson Muslim Khan along with some key members of the outfit, it is being speculated that the noose around their chief Mullah Fazlullah has also been tightened.
Security forces have gained some vital information regarding Fazlullah’s hideouts from Muslim Khan who, sources said, is ’singing like a canary’.
