TTP threatens to attack lawmakers if Nato supply routes reopen
[Dawn] The Pakistain Taliban will attack politicians if they decide to re-open NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... supply routes to Afghanistan, the bad boy group's front man said on Sunday, a threat likely to complicate efforts to mend severely strained relations between the United States and Pakistain. "If the parliament decides to restore NATO supplies, we will attack parliamentarians and their overlords," Ehsanullah Ehsan, front man for the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) told Rooters. Pakistain's parliament is reviewing recommendations for a new direction in ties with Washington, including a possible re-opening of supply routes for NATO forces in Afghanistan, which were suspended last November after a cross-border skirmish with NATO forces killed 24 Pak soldiers.
