Pak Taliban chief vows to strike Army in winter with devastating force | The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakeemullah
Mehsud has warned that the Taliban would take on the Pakistan Army with more intent during the winter season. “We will wait till January for our offensive since we
are stronger during the snowing season,” Mehsud told CNN over telephone. Mehsud
said the military offensive in South Waziristan has not hampered their objectives
and that the insurgents remain determined for war against the security forces
present in the region. “We have conserved our energy and have not lost our morale.The
leadership of my organisation is safe,” he said, while refusing to divulge details
of his whereabouts. When asked about Monday’s bomb blast outside Peshawar ’s
district
court, Mehsud neither accepted nor denied Taliban’s hand in the strike. “Being
occupied in other matters, I have not been able to contact my colleagues there,
so I will not be able to take responsibility at this time,” he said. On Monday,
a suicide bomber blew himself up at the Peshawar Session Court complex entrance
killing nine people and injuring over 45. This was the second attack in less than
a month, which targeted the court premises in Peshawar . Earlier on November 19,
a suicide bomber had killed 19 people outside the Peshawar Judicial Complex. |
