Pakistani Taliban new chief Mullah Fazlullah has reportedly rejected the peace dialogue with the government in a bid to take revenge for his predecessor's death.
A Tehriek-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman said their leader wanted to send out a message to the world and they would target the military and the governing party, the BBC reports.
A Taliban Shura council nominated Mullah Fazlullah as successor to Hakimullah Mehsud, six days after he was killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Fazlullah's men shot the teenage school girl and education activist Malala Yousafzai last year and he also controlled the operations of the Swat Valley in 2008-09, and is known to be behind the violent campaign against polio vaccination.
