Pakistan: Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claims responsibility for the attack on airport in Karachi
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the terror attack on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.
“We carried out this attack on the Karachi airport and it is a message to the Pakistani government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages,” TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said in a statement to the media.
He said that the attack was also carried out to avenge the killing of former Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud in a US drone strike.
