Al Qaeda planning attacks on US from Pakistan

Baitullah Mehsud

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack on a police training academy in Lahore and warned of further attacks in Pakistan and the US. “These (attacks) were in reaction to (US) drone strikes in the Tribal Areas,” Baitullah Mehsud told BBC Urdu over the telephone from an undisclosed location.

“Over the next few days, more such attacks will come ... two or three suicide attacks will take place,” warned Mehsud. “As long as the (US) drone attacks continue, we will not stop.” The Taliban leader said he would himself “teach the US a lesson”. “Very soon we will take revenge from America ... in Washington, which will amaze the entire world,” he had said. -- Daily Times
