'Taliban to target Zardari, his allies'
2008-11-27
The defunct Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) will target President Asif Ali Zardari and his allies for their 'pro-American' stance, a regional commander told journalists in the Orakzai tribal region on Wednesday.

Hakeemullah Mehsud, deputy to Baitullah Mehsud, accused the ANP, PPP and MQM of "working to break up Pakistan in collaboration with the US". The TTP also threatened to 'cut off' supplies to American forces in Afghanistan if US drone attacks did not stop. The TTP displayed one of the two American Humvee military vehicles they had hijacked in Khyber Agency on November 10.
