The Taliban

The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan released two tapes of Hakeemullah Mehsud to prove he was alive. On the audio and the video tapes, Hakeemullah threatened to carry out attacks against the US. Qari Hussain Mehsud, Hakeemullah’s deputy, also released a tape claiming credit for the failed car bombing in New York City.
