The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has announced they would launch a wave of revenge attacks against the Nawaz government.
The announcement from the terrorist group came after naming hardline commander Mullah Fazlullah as their new leader.
According to Dawn News, Fazlullah, who is known for his ruthless reputation and rejection of peace talks, was selected by the Taliban shura (leadership council) after the group's previous leader Hakimullah Mehsud was killed in a US drone strike on November 1.
Asmatullah Shaheen, head of the shura and caretaker leader of the TTP, said that they will target security forces, government installations, political leaders and police in Pakistan.
He said the Taliban's main target included army and government installations in Punjab province, the political stronghold of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the report added.
