New York: Enraged at the killing of its top leader in a CIA drone strike, the Pakistan Taliban has vowed to take "unprecedented" revenge for the attack in which the militant group alleges the Pakistani government was also involved.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah Mehsud and three others were killed in the US drone attack in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area near the Afghan border yesterday.
A report in the New York Times said that Mehsud's killing has thrown into disarray plans by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to engage in peace talks with the Taliban with enraged militant commanders now vowing to repay Hakimullah's killing in bloodshed.
"Our revenge will be unprecedented," Abu Omar, a Taliban commander in North Waziristan, was quoted as saying by the NYT report.
Omar said he considered the Pakistani government was also "fully complicit" in the drone strike.
"We know our enemy very well," he said.
