Pakistani Taliban warn government to prepare for the worst, and threaten attacks on Punjab province and federal capital.
The government’s “palaces” in Islamabad and Lahore will soon be burnt to ashes, said the spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan following the launch of a military operation in North Waziristan.
Refusing to comment on the hundreds of reported casualties in the operation so far, Shahidullah Shahid said the TTP blamed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the provincial government of Punjab for the loss of “innocent” lives. “We hold Nawaz Sharif government and Punjab establishment fully responsible for losses of life and property of tribal Muslims as a result of this operation,” he said. “The retaliatory activities by mujahideen will make you a symbol of abomination by the wish of God,” he added. “To rid us of the clutches of these tyrants, we invite all Baloch, Sindhis, Pakhtuns and Islam-loving Punjabis to unite with us.”
The TTP spokesman said the government’s decision to launch the operation had violated the Pakistani people’s wishes for peace. “The Government of Pakistan and the infidel Army have rubbed in the dust the wishes of Pakistani people for peace. They have launched the Zarb-e-Azb operation in North Waziristan on the directions of their western masters,” he alleged.
“Now mujahideen of Islam and the Pakistan government are pitted against each other all over the country,” he said, adding, “Any important government installation or institution could become the target of mujahideen.”
Shahid added: “We also want to make it clear to the rulers of Pakistan that you are killing tribal children [by launching this operation], and, by God, we will soon shake your palaces in Islamabad and Lahore and burn those to ashes. We are eyeing victory with the help of God, and you will become a joke for the world.”
The TTP spokesman also claimed that the time for talks had now passed. “Keep this in mind that you will wish to hold dialogue and seek peace. But [when you do], it will be too late.”

we are ready to face these cowards..
Haha, look at you all being SO brave about it. You all will be the first to shit your pants when it happens (God forbid) And really, when the whole country is burning and innocent children and being carpet bombed, what makes us Lahoris think we are so damn special?
Its already happened before, 60000 Pakistanis were blown up by these pussies .
Even when we weren't fighting.
So if it happens again(God Forbid), At least we are fighting back.
And you need to choose either one or two years of these tough times or another 10 year of cowardliness and 60000 more deaths because they want to go to heavo -- uhm hell!!
it's a very disgusting opinion of yours whoever you are, didn't you see what happen in Karachi aren't you Muslim and Pakistani, as well do you think that these people are serving to Islam they are just ,infidel, and sons of bitch they are killing us, what kind of Muslim your, yeah there is your's type of people whose soft corner give them a pace.

U shit your big pie hole because u know inside u that Pakistan army is the best army by the grace of Allah and inshallah they will prove it aswell. They are not terrorist. Do u think they were the ones killing innocent children in APS NO!!!!
These terrorists can go to hell!
They can keep dreaming. Inshallah our Army will finish them.
Don't forget they are trained by your army. or trained by them who trained your army ;
May be trained by army but they dont have heart of a solider. So stop being so negative you pathetic fool.
72 virgins are way stronger motivation than monthly salary. The snake you raised has grown thousand heads. It will take time to reverse decades of misdeeds.
why you dont consider training by 34 consulates including the ammo and financial aid they receive ????
Shut up myra ! these ppl were not trained by any Pakistani, these are CIA RAW etc trained ppl and know nothing about the values of Islam. Think / study before passing these comments
@arshad naveed by the way who the hell they are but realilty is to accept those were trained by pakistani army and isi against USSR in 1982 and armed by pakistani army they knows better the pakistani army
All the sand in Middle East is not enough to burry you head full of ignorance.
Pakistan Army has nothing to do with TTP. TTP is funded and trained by anti-Pakistan elements; i.e RAW, Mossad, and CIA. Plus there's a new addition to TTP or is being backed by TTP, i.e IMU Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. As for the threats given by TTP, well either they're stupid or they're trying to be the center of attraction, because when you're in a state of war you don't threaten your enemy or intimate about your future moves, you just ambush or annihilate your enemy with a surprise. Anyway, I hope that there will be peace and harmony in Pakistan one day.
The media should stop giving importance to these bastards. They are just attention seekers and once they feel that they are being ignored, things might turn for better.
Plz stop this bullshit talk mulla and know u see!
Mr. Nazar Ul Islam, breaking news is one thing...but posting such material is damn straight stupidity on your part and I'm surprised at Newsweek for putting it up. The threats are there and they are real but putting offensive statements of terrorists only induces panic among the masses besides demoralizing the people. Please stop giving mileage to these animals.
Absolutely. So rightly said.
I second you. It'd be better and wiser to not give any coverage to the statements of these mentally challenged beasts.
You are absolutely right. Media extract fun out of so called stupid 'breaking news' fashion.
What exactly are you proposing? That the media stop reporting news just because "it might cause panic among the masses"? People have a right to know what's going on in their country and I for one am grateful that Newsweek published this story and hope that they continue to do so in the future.
@Grateful
You want to see more posts like this as it gives you information? Information that will help you do what? Help you excrete in the hour of need? Because you are no one to do anything about it! YES it creates panic and terrorism is all about spreading fear among masses so if you are so much interested go out of your rich mansion (I assume) and come back to Pakistan (I again assume) to see what is happening and we dont want to hear any updates from these NINCOMPOOPS! And if my assumptions are wrong and you are among us then you need to wake up and stand up against irresponsible reporting. Only if this post is allowed to publish you will understand the very reason.
You are absolutely correct, there should be zero media attention given to these bastards. They are criminals and hence should be treated like that.
You are right we should know that what is going on , these news Channels are not for playing cricket ,they are for reporting and they should do so and the people who are saying to stop such reporting are against the media and can't be Pakistani ....... They are coward I think ?
I understand what stereo type you are, most of the pepple are now because of what they are fed. Go read basics of art of war and know why is it important not to give them space. Just in this statement he has sent a recruitment message to entire country and you think we are short of illetrate and jobless fools and they wont get any benefit out of this press release?
Media has no right to create panic or give any advantage to terrorists. Please ignore their pathetic threats,
Height of stupidity.. Right to my ass...crazy mf..no doubt this coverage of insane ppl shud b banned absolutely
Full agreement.
Wish you rot in hell !! All of you.
Brave fighters of Islam don't hide so plz select your place where you want, First face us only citizens of Pakistan then face Our army if you people left...You can never face us you cowards.
They don't need to face your army; they are one. Pakistan is paying back. It's burning by the same fire it started in Afghanistan and India. Giving safe havens to terrorists (Osama was one bold example) have consequences.
You people born in heera mandi and raised in Mujra culture, originally converted from hindus not by choice but by force mostly by arabs like Mohammad Bin Qasim etc and Afghans like Mehmud Ghaznavi, Ahmad shah abdali, Sher shah suri etc, and still as of today you dirty filthy stinky slave punjabis have the same shitty habits and beliefs like hindus,,, your napak army consisting of 100,000 surrendered to hindus in 1971 and every battle they lost to them (indians or hindus) ,,, that were only the tribals and pashtuns, some balochis and sindhis who fought for this punjabis state called pakistan during 1965 and other wars started by you and the ran away from the battle field as u always do,,, now u are talking so big bcoz u are launching attacks on innocent civilians under the umbrella of the NATO forces and their dollars, history always repeats itself, today is napak army turn through cheatings and big dramma but tomorrow will be the turn of all the innocent ones coz it will be the decision of the God almighty since you r the biggest enemy of islam, Muslims and Pakistan , u dirty, filthy ghaddar who could sell their own mother and sister for money/dollars,, u just dig your own grave and bury yourself there if u still have little faith coz u slave Punjabis have no caliber and prestige, u r just misguided crowd of directionless people and worshipers of the creature not the Creator ,,, u first read your true history (not the distorted by you people),,,, all the traitors and ghaddar always born in u... you have destroyed this country for the last 60 years,,, your army, your politicians mostly piece of shit and your misguided think tank etc which is good for nothing but always good for slavery and deception,,, u r a burden on this world and this soil ,,, even graves will not be comfortable to hold you there and in the long run majority of you will be the eternal losers because u r champions in cheating, dishonesty, injustices, frauds, hypocrisy, conspiracies, innocent killings, match fixers etc .... And the biggest question for you that your napak army and nato has the same common enemy..Is it for Islam, too funny???
You don;t want to know this but the God almighty knows it already and He knows your black darkened hearts thats why u r not getting the right guidance... losers in both worlds
And by the way I hate these Talibans too who are the ISI right hand in the genocide of all these innocent tribals and pashtuns ... And u r doing the same injustices to Balochis and Sindhis and Mohajrs, what u did to Afghanistan and Iran etc ... u have unlimited enemies now,. e.g. Iran, Baloch, Afghans, Tribals/pashtuns, Sindhis, Mohajirs, and India for sure besides other internationals enemies ,,, so u r done,, its just the matter of time or few years deal and your dirty ethnicity will be a history... owe be unto you ...
sharam ko bhe tum ghaleez logoon say sharam aati hein
I like your honest comments. leep it up bro and let the people of punjab know their honourable past like selling the pussies of their sisters by the great rajput kings in order to be in power etc
