The Taliban in Pakistan are gearing up for attacks across the country in the wake of an army operation against militants in the North West Frontier Province that has resulted in the killing of 15 rebels.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud held a meeting at an undisclosed location in the North Waziristan tribal region a few days ago to discuss ways to “occupy territories” in the NWFP and carry out terrorist activities across Pakistan.
Eight militant commanders were delegated the responsibility of carrying out attacks. A group led by commander Awal Khan was set up to generate funds for the militants. Another two groups were formed under commander Mullah Mansoor, the Daily Times newspaper reported on Sunday.
