Alleging that Pakistan was serving American interests, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan has warned the Zardari-led government that the country could face more problems if it did not alter its policies.
Talking to rediff.com from an undisclosed location, a TTP central spokesperson Azam Tariq said: "General Petraeus, US commander in Afghanistan, is dictating terms to Pakistan and the latter is acting upon them without any hesitation. Pakistan is serving American interests and has almost become a part of NATO. This would create further problems for the country."
Azam further said, "The American-led forces in Afghanistan are under tremendous pressure due to the continuous attacks of Taliban. Soon they will meet their fate in the form of a humiliating defeat."
The TTP believe that their network is so vast that they could now carry out attacks around the world and even inside US.
"Taliban could attack all around the world whether it is US or some other European country. We have our men all over the world like we had Faisal Shahzad (Times Square bomber). We pay rich tribute to his effort and sacrifice for Islam," Azam added.
Warning media persons, Azam said: "Media should avoid impartiality while covering Taliban issues. Some reporters deliberately misreport events to create disturbance amongst the militants. We request them not to do so or we know how to deal with such people."
Meanwhile, the death toll due to floods in Pakistan has climbed to 1200. About two million people have been forced to leave their homes for safer places.
While sympathising with flood victims, especially in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa province, Taliban suicide squad head Qari Hussain told rediff.com in a message: "These floods are the result of indulgence of people in un-Islamic activities. Vulgarity and obscenity are growing in the society. The floods are a wake-up call for the people to think about their acts. If they don't change their ways of life, they should wait for another big disaster."
