Taliban blames ‘US agents’ for deadly attack on Pak military convoy in N.Waziristan

Miramshah, July 9(ANI): The Taliban leadership in North Waziristan has reacted sharply to a recent bomb attack on a Pakistani military convoy in the area, saying that US agents, not Taliban militants, had attacked the security 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 that militants holed up in a local hospital were behind the strike, demolished the facility on Wednesday.
On Friday, the Taliban Shura gathered at an undisclosed location, and released a one-page statement after the meeting, which was presided over by Hafiz Gul Bahadur.
"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 Dawn quoted the statement, as saying.
The Shura asked the Taliban and their supporters to kill the elements involved in criminal activities, and said that the Taliban would claim responsibility for their action.
Gul Bahadur said that Mujahideen could never commit such acts, adding the US agents were involved in these activities to serve its interests.
The Taliban have never used bazaars and other public places for attacks and have no plan to do so in future, he added.

It is due to their intolerance to the US occupation, that the war continues to fail.
