2014-06-10
[DAWN] The outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) on Monday grabbed credit for the attack on Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
airport in Dire Revenge™ for the killing of their leader. Hakeemullah Mehsud died in a US drone strike in November.

"We carried out the attack on Karachi airport to avenge the death of Hakeemullah Mehsud," TTP front man Shahidullah Shahid told AFP.

"[The] Pakistain [government] used peace talks as a tool of war; it killed hundreds of innocent tribal women and kiddies. This is our first attack to avenge the death of Hakeemullah Mehsud," he said.

"It's just the beginning, we have taken Dire Revenge™ for one, we have to take Dire Revenge™ for hundreds."

Umar Media, the media wing of the TTP, claimed on their Facebook page that just six bully boyz had attacked the airport.
