Rehman specified that European targets are principally Britain and France. The video, which was aired on the al-Arabiya network, shows Rehman sitting somewhere in a forest surrounded by his fighters. Rehman also claimed that a deadly attack on a Pakistan naval base in late May was the group's first act of vengeance in connection with bin Laden's killing on May 2 in a compound in Abbottabad. Rehman made similar threats last month shortly after bin Laden's assassination. http://img.ibtimes.com/www/site/us/images/1px.gif At that time, he said: "We have the same target, program and mission. Our enemies are NATO, Jews and Christians." TTP, which has been reputed to be behind a slew of attacks in Pakistan, is also thought to have been behind the failed bombing of Times Square in <http://www.ibtimes.com/topics/detail/456/new-york/> New York City last spring. According to ABC News, the man convicted of that bombing, Faisal Shahzad, reportedly trained with Pakistani Taliban on the arts of bomb-making prior to his Times Square misadventure. Rehman is reportedly believed to be responsible for a number of cross-border assaults on US and NATO members in <http://www.ibtimes.com/topics/detail/231/afghanistan/> Afghanistan. He is also wanted for allegedly participating in the murder of seven Americans who were killed in a CIA facility in Khost, <http://www.ibtimes.com/topics/detail/231/afghanistan/> Afghanistan, in December 2009. He has a $5 million bounty on his head. Separately, Pakistani officials said that gunmen have shot and killed a leading Taliban figure near the town of Miran Shah, near the Afghan border. Shakirullah Shakir, who has reportedly trained hundreds of suicide bombers, was killed while riding a motorcycle by shooters in another vehicle. Shakir was a senior commander for the Fidayeen-e-Islam wing of the Pakistani Taliban. It is not clear who is behind the killing as no group has stepped forward to claim responsibility [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
