A NINE minute long video, featuring Hakimullah Mehsud, the Pakistan Taliban chief, has promised attack on major US cities. The video is dated April but was released following the Times Square car bombing attempt, Intel Center, a US based group that monitors militant media said on Monday. In the Video the group tried to take credit for the bombing attempt in New York.
Although, Mehsud does not specifically mentions New York, but says that he is speaking on April 4, and promises that, “God willing, very soon in some days or a month's time, the Muslim community will see the fruits of most successful attacks of our Fidayeen in USA.”
Further in the video he refutes earlier Pakistani and American claims that he died in a US missile strike in January.
But US authorities are not accepting the video as factual and true, they are saying that the group does not have the infrastructure to carry out such an strike. But they could expand their reach throgh the alliance with al-Qaida.
In another video of 1 minute and 11 seconds, the militant group says the attack is revenge for the death of its leader Baitullah Mehsud, and the recent slaying of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Masri.
The claim of the militia could not be verified immediately, but if it turns out to be true then it would be first time the Pakistani Taliban has struck outside South Asia.
The Taliban has the infrastructure to attack US territory or not but it cannot be denied that they have all possible links to do the damage.
