ISLAMABAD: The banned organisation Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said on Sunday that it will never support Pakistan blindly in case of an attack from the US, DawnNews reported.

This was stated by TTP’s leader and Taliban Commander of Bajaur area Moulvi Faqir Ahmed while taking to the BBC.

He said that although the US and Pakistan are allies in the war against terrorism, both the countries are deceiving each other in the ongoing war in Afghanistan.

Moulvi Faqir further stated that the US wants an exit passage for its army from Afghanistan while Pakistan is trying to entrap US further in the war.

He said that the US is already attacking Pakistan, however, incase of some bigger action taken against Pakistan by the US, the TTP will not impulsively provide support to Pakistan. The Taliban shura will deliberate on this and then make the final decision regarding support to Pakistan, he added.
