Pak Taliban warns of more suicide attacks | The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ( TTP ) has warned of carrying out more suicide attacks across the country
in protest against the government’s policies. Taking the responsibility for Friday’s
suicide attack outside the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) building in Peshawar
in which 12 people were killed and dozen others injured, top TTP leader Qari Hussain
Mehsud challenged the authorities to stop the attacks. “We targeted the ISI office
because the intelligence agency has a say in government policies,” Mehsud, who
is known for training suicide bombers, told the BBC . He said the attacks were
in reaction to the military operation in Waziristan and the cooperation, which
Pakistan was extending to the US led ‘war on terror.’ Commenting about the on-going
military offensive in South Waziristan , which is supposed to be the Taliban’s
stronghold, Mehsud said the Taliban had vacated many areas in the region under
a well-thought-out strategy, and that it would continue to confront the security
forces. “The strategy is aimed at to maintain our strength of fighters and save
the weapons,” he said. Mehsud also warned that the Taliban would intensify its
guerrilla fight in South Waziristan in the coming days. |
