The recent attack on Malala Yousufzai received a lot of condemnations from all across the globe and once again brought Taliban and Islam in the news. As soon as the news broke out, people began discussing the ruthless Taliban and their incomprehensible and alien ideas; however one thing which most of the people missed was a close scrutiny of the incident. No one bothered to see the other side of the picture which could also be true. The recent incident could be a fabricated or pre-planned event which may be used to further the drone attacks in the NWFP in the name of killing callous Taliban. Many scholars argue about the active role of CIA and MOSSAD who use some Taliban members as front men to further their agenda. One must not take the news as it comes, instead one must learn the art of deconstructing it.
