ISLAMABAD: The Taliban's Mehsud faction, led by Khan Said alias Sajna, has condemned the attack on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and has said that attacks on Ulema were disgraceful.

Azam Tariq, spokesman for the Mehsud Taliban, said the group condemned the attack and felt that those involved in similar incidents were against ulema and Islam.

Tariq, who had previously also served as the TTP spokesman under former Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud who was killed in a US drone strike on November 1, 2013, said that Khan Said Sajna was still the Ameer of the Taliban's Mehsud faction and that members of the group were united under his command.

Earlier on Thursday, at least two people were killed and dozens had been injured when a suspected suicide bomber detonated his explosives outside a JUI-F rally in Quetta.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman remained unhurt in the attack which targeted his bullet-proof vehicle. The banned militant group Jundallah claimed responsibility for the attack.
