A new Taliban group in Waziristan on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the missile attacks and bomb blasts in South Waziristan a day earlier. Led by its commander Hafiz Gul Bahadar, the Taliban Ittehad said that they were responsible for firing missiles on three locations the previous day. Taliban Ittehad spokesman Ahmadullah Ahmadi said that they would retaliate against any attack by the government. Meanwhile, another commander Abdul Khaliq Haqqani said that he had prepared a group of suicide bombers to be used against the government. Talking to the media on Wednesday, Haqqani said that Baitullah Mehsud was not involved in Benazir Bhutto's assassination.
