| [Jerusalem Post Front Page] The FBI ruled out Pakistani Taliban leader Baituallah Mehsud's claim that he was responsible for an attack on a US immigration assistance center in New York state in which 14 people were killed, Reuters reported Saturday. "Based on the evidence, we can firmly discount that claim," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said. A man armed with two handguns killed 13 people at an immigrant services center on Friday before apparently turning the gun on himself, authorities in Binghamton, New York, said. Representative Maurice Hinchey, whose district includes Binghamton, told the New York Times that indications were the gunman was an immigrant from Vietnam. Earlier Mehsud claimed responsibility for the deadly shooting. "I accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to US drone attacks," Baituallah Mehsud reportedly told Reuters. |
