@ravage

same **** different name. much of the violence conducted under the name ‘taliban’ today was done by a host of different organizations with pretty similar motives as those of the taliban (as evidenced by the quote in my last post). suicide bombing happens to be a new tactic (copied incidentally from Iraq), the violence is not new.

Partially correct. When TTP came into being they recruited different sectarian orgs of which none had committed “suicide bombing” before, targets were mainly “other sects” but hardly police posts, army posts, police academy, army hospital etc, so not only tactic has changed but also the target, which probably shows sponsor/financier has changed.
