#4 It was not clear who was responsible. In the past officials have blamed such incidents on the Taliban but last week a spokesman for the Islamist group denied involvement in such attacks and condemned them.

Oh, well that settles it then. It couln't have been the Taliban. Maybe it was the Tea Party, lets ask NBC and see what they think.

#5 but last week a spokesman for the Islamist group denied involvement in such attacks and condemned them.

Give that the rubric Taliban covers a number of different groups, both official and ad hoc collections of thugs, the denial doesn't count unless all the spokesmen likewise deny their groups' involvement in each and all of the attacks. Then they must prove that they're telling the truth.

Or it could just be group hysteria. Thank goodness there were no Salem witches involved.
