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.

I agree that the targets were expanded, and that they incorporated many sectarian organizations. Therefore when TTP commits an attack such as the one against the ahmedies, and the reaction is to merely claim that this only has to do with the american war against Afghanistan, as opposed to being associated with a continuous trend of violence since the 80s.. that is patently BS. The result is to take attention away from our long-standing bigotry and intolerance against minorities, and use the same language that the taleban would like to be used to mitigate reactions to their killing spree.
