TTP’s stance

Published April 19, 2014

THE Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has condemned the Islamabad fruit market bomb blast, saying that the killing of innocent people is ‘haram’.

It means that all the previous bomb blasts carried out in markets, mosques, schools, buses, trains and other places killing about 50,000 innocent people were not carried out by the TTP and our government is knocking at the wrong door for peace by negotiating with them.
