Tehrik-i-Taliban threatens to overthrow Islamabad government, seize nukes
WASHINGTON – The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan – the Taliban group that seeks the overthrow of the Pakistani government – has sworn allegiance to the Islamic State, or ISIS, and has directed jihadists across the region to help ISIS set up its caliphate.
ISIS declared its caliphate from territory seized last June from northeastern Syria to western and central Iraq, and threatens to take over all of the Levant that includes Jordan, the rest of Syria, Lebanon and Israe
ISIS and its caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, already have received backing from Abdul Maulana Aziz, a follower of the Afghan Taliban supreme leader Mulla Mohammad Omar who led the infamous Red Mosque rebellion in Pakistan.
Aziz also is close to the Tehnik-i-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP, as WND recently revealed.
The TTP seeks to overthrow by violent means the Pakistani government, which possesses nuclear weapons.
