Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

Hindustan Times reporting Mehsud has claimed responsibility of NY shooting killing 13 people. It is believed a man of Vietnamese origin was responsible for shooting.

Mehsud on the other hand seems to be a nut case who wants to be attacked immediately by US forces by provoking them. He is acting like a new Osama bin Laden.

Pakistani Taliban militant leader Baituallah Mehsud claimed on Saturday responsibility for an attack on a US immigration centre in New York state in which 13 people were killed.

“I accept resonsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to US drone attacks,” Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location.

A man armed with two handguns killed 13 people at an immigration services centre before apparently turning the gun on himself, authorities in Binghamton, New York, said.

Representative Maurice Hinchey, whose district includes Binghamton, told the New York Times that indications are the gunman was an immigrant from Vietnam.

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

USA should create a fake terrorist like in the Body of Lies called Sheikh Abu Abdullah ibn Akbar and create a terrorist organization called the Soldiers of Allah

so hopefully when they claim to do any attacks, al qaeda and paki taliban will make contact

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

Wow, looks like the fact that now his controlled territory is being targeted by drone attacks has made mehsud crazy. He must not be sleeping well at night. I think his days are numbered and he's panicking.

Now its kinda making sense as to whose pay roll mehsud is working on...

as it doesnt make sense to me what good these kind of claims will bring upon his people...

i smell some carpet bombing in the offing in fata and nwfp in the near future...

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

yeah yeah, TTP is under CIA payroll. Now, let's hope jamaat guys will not get angry when the pak army takes them all out.

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

He is trying to claim credit for everything under the sun...unfortunately for him he is dead making walking. Hopefully, soon he will be just dead & not walking.

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

This idiot really wants it.......

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

Either that or the Indian media is blaming this on Pakistan too. Pathetic in either case.

Typical behaviour ... if you don't like the message shot the messanger ....

He is just trying to fool the people in his area .... by taking responsibility he is trying to show that he is capable of attacking America ...... after all he has shown Pakistan is not capable of acting against him .... so he has taken on the US now. His days are numberred though !!!!!

:omg: :rotfl: next time there is an earthquake in 1st world he will say I did it.

“His people”? There is nothing like “his people”, there is him, his few buddies and money… thats all.

India media is not worth the paper its written on

Re: Mehsud claims responsibility of NY shooting-Hindustan Times

Now I can actually see the fruits of head-money announcement.... anyone else does?

Focus on the message rather then the messenger ..... perhaps it is difficult for you to condemn this guy so you gotta have a go at the mesenger :)

By the way this report is NOW being picked up by world media ......

Any links?

If you read the new article … it is from reuters … but then that would not make news … the post had to have a tagline to bash India :biggthumb

Closer home … US sees no Taliban link to New York shooting - GEO.tv

From BBC

Pakistani Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud called the BBC in Islamabad to claim responsibility for the attack

He gave no evidence to corroborate the claim.

President Barack Obama, in Europe for a Nato summit, said he was "shocked and saddened" by the attack's "senseless violence".
