Pakistani Taliban Claims Times Square Bomb; Says Revenge For Death Of Group's Leader Baitullah Mehsud
RYAN LUCAS | 05/ 2/10 03:56 PM | AP
CAIRO — The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility in a video released Sunday for the attempted car bomb attack in New York City's Times Square.
In the 1 minute, 11 second video allegedly released by the Pakistani Taliban, the group says the attack is revenge for the death of its leader, Baitullah Mehsud, and the recent slaying of the leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq – Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri – who were killed by U.S. and Iraqi troops last month north of Baghdad.
Despite the claim of responsibility, New York City's police commissioner said there's no evidence of a Taliban link to the failed car bomb.
On the tape, an unidentified voice speaking in Urdu, the primary language in Pakistan, also says the attack comes in response to American "interference and terrorism in Muslim Countries, especially in Pakistan for (the) Lalmasjid operation," a reference to the Pakistani army's 2007 storming of the Red Mosque in Islamabad where militants were holed up inside.
If the claim of responsibility is genuine, it would be the first time the group has struck outside of South Asia. It was no known global infrastructure like al-Qaida. In at least one past instance, the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack it played no role in.
The claim, which was posted on militant websites and uncovered by the U.S-based SITE Intelligence Group, could not be immediately confirmed. The video makes no specific reference to Saturday's failed attack in New York, does not mention the attack's location or that it was a car bomb.
At the start of the video, a text in gold letters on a black background celebrates the "jaw-breaking blow to Satan's USA." As the speaker delivers the message, images of the slain militants mentioned flash across the screen. English subtitles are provided at the bottom of the screen.
Among the long list of things the attack is to avenges, the speaker also mentions U.S. drone strikes in Pakistani tribal areas that target Taliban leaders hiding there and the "abduction, torture and humiliation" of Aaria Siddiqui.
Siddiqui is a 37-year-old Pakistani scientist who was convicted in a U.S. court in February of trying to kill American service personnel after her arrest in Afghanistan in 2008. Her case has triggered anger among Pakistani extremist groups and in sections of the media.

As the message concludes, the voice calls on NATO countries – who have troops stationed in Afghanistan – to oppose "evil U.S. policies" and "sincerely apologize for the massacres in Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistani tribal areas."
The Pakistani Taliban is one of Pakistan's largest and deadliest militant groups. It has strong links to al-Qaida and is based in the northwest close to the Afghan border. The group has carried out scores of bloody attacks inside Pakistan in recent years, mostly against Pakistani targets, but it has made no secret of its hatred toward the United States.
Last year, its then commander, Baitullah Mehsud, vowed to "amaze everyone in the world" with an attack on Washington or even the White House. But Mehsud also reportedly said his men were behind a mass shooting in March 2009 at the American Civic Association in Binghamton in April 2009. That claim turned out to be false.
The claim comes a day after police in New York found a potentially powerful car bomb that apparently began to detonate but did not explode in a smoking sport utility vehicle in Times Square.
Thousands of tourists were cleared from the streets for 10 hours after two vendors alerted police to the suspicious vehicle, which contained three propane tanks, fireworks, two filled 5-gallon gasoline containers, and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components, officials said.

Apparently it maybe a annoying tea party suspect involved in the latest 2010 NYC bombing? according to the new unconstitutional immigration Arizonian law bill; a conspicuous caucasian was seen fleeing from time square, during the pathfinder bombing attempt?
