Media institutions, schools, Taliban's next target in Pak |
Pakistan security officials have warned that the Taliban could target the offices of private television
channels and other media institutions in the country apart from security establishments.
According to The Daily Times, security officials have intercepted a telephonic
call of a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander in which he has given directives
to the fighters to launch attacks on media offices across the country. Officials
said the Taliban is trying to pressurize the government to discontinue the military
operation being carried out in South Waziristan, a stronghold of the outlawed
outfit. "They could mount pressure on the government from all sides.We also have
authentic reports that terrorists could kidnap a school bus of some reputed educational
institution," a senior official said on condition of anonymity. The Taliban, in
its letter to the Lahore Press Club, has also threatened to blow up offices of
journalists and media organization if they do not stop reporting against the extremists.
Lahore Press Club Secretary, Zahid Abid said the 'threat mail' stated that after
attacking the UN office and the General Headquarters, it was 'very easy' for the
Taliban to launch an attack anywhere in the country. |
