Pakistan Taliban warns all foreigners to leave country or face violence

Pakistani Taliban on Monday warned all international organisations and individuals to leave the country or face violence as it was in a ‘state of war’.
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said that Pakistan had buried the desire of its people for peace in the North Waziristan tribal region and launched a military operation to make its western backers happy.
‘All international agencies, airlines and investors should immediately suspend all commercial ties with Pakistan and leave the country as we are in a state of war. Otherwise these foreign institutions or individuals will be responsible for any harm coming to them,’ he said in a statement.
Shahid said the money made by business relations with Pakistan is being used to fund the military operation and target the Muslims in the tribal region. He vowed to fight hard and make ‘the attackers a symbol of destruction’.
The statement came a day after Pakistan launched the much-awaited military operation against foreign and local militants hiding in sanctuaries near the Afghan border.
The operation was launched a week after the Pakistani Taliban brazenly attacked the Karachi airport. At least 105 militants, including the Uzbek mastermind of the Karachi airport attack, were killed on Sunday.
