Peshawar: The Taliban based in North Waziristan has warned those elements who carried out attack on a convoy of Pakistani forces on Tuesday, of strict action, a local newspaper reported on Saturday.
According to report, On Friday, the Taliban Shura met at an undisclosed location. A one-page statement released after the meeting, which was presided over by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, said: “Mujahideen Shura of the North Waziristan gives last warning to those elements who carried out the improvised explosive device attack and opened fire from main bazaar a few days ago. If these people don’t stop their activities then action will be taken against them.”
The Taliban said the US agents — not the Taliban militants —had attacked the military personnel to achieve their own objectives
Three security personnel were killed and 14 others injured on Tuesday when the convoy was attacked with an improvised explosive device. Security forces, believing militants holed up in a local hospital were behind the strike, demolished the facility on Wednesday.
Gul Bahadur said that Mujahideen could never commit such acts, adding the US agents were involved in these activities to serve its interests.
He said the Taliban had never used bazaars and other public places for attacks and had no plan to do so in future.
