Taliban warn of suicide attacks twice a week

ISLAMABAD: The Taliban on Sunday vowed that they would carry out two suicide attacks per week in Pakistan. Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud’s deputy Hakimullah told AP that the Taliban had carried out Saturday’s suicide attack against a paramilitary camp in Islamabad and vowed more assaults unless the US shelved drone attacks in the Tribal Areas. He also said Pakistani troops should withdraw from parts of the northwest. “The Islamabad attack was in retaliation for a drone attack in Orakzai,” Hakimullah told AFP. agencies
