Miramshah: The outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan has accepted responsibility for the suicide blast in Fateh Jang and attacks on border posts in Bajaur.
TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told Dawn by phone from an unspecified location that the bombing and the attacks were in retaliation for the killing of its men in Karachi and attacks on Taliban in other places.
“We will respond to repression in the manner as we did today.”
He claimed that the TTP was still interested in peace talks, but the government was never serious and continued to target and torture Taliban fighters.
