THE leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, reported killed in a CIA drone aircraft attack in January, has appeared alive in Internet videos, threatening revenge suicide strikes in the United States.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, the Taliban Movement of Pakistan, has focused on fighting the Islamabad government and has thus far proved capable of overseas operations.
Even so, the possibility it might have global aspirations may worry Washington because of the group's ties with al-Qaida, which carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks in the US.
The warnings were posted on the Internet on Sunday just after the TTP said it was responsible for an attempted car bomb attack in New York's Times Square on Saturday night.
"The time is very near when our Fedayeen (fighters prepared to sacrifice themselves) will attack the American states in their major cities," warned Mehsud, who said the video was recorded on April 4.
"Our Fedayeen have penetrated the terrorist America. We will give extremely painful blows to the fanatic America," he said.
