| Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Maulvi Omar on Sunday claimed responsibility for the recent attacks on NATO supplies. Talking over telephone with reporters, Omar said the arson attacks on NATO supplies in Peshawar and Khyber Agency were a reaction to the United States drone attacks in the Tribal Areas. Attacks on NATO shipments would increase if the US troops did not halt attacks in the Tribal Areas, he said, adding the TTP would cut the supply routes to NATO and international forces stationed in Afghanistan.NATO has started looking for alternatives to the main supply route through Pakistan after the Taliban torched some 300 trucks laden with supplies, including military vehicles, in five attacks in the last week alone. |
