The Pakistani Taliban Thursday threatened to attack Myanmar to avenge crimes against the Muslim Rohingya, unless Pakistan halts all relations with the government and shuts its embassy in Islamabad.
In a rare statement focused on the plight of Muslims abroad, the umbrella Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) group sought to present itself as a defender of Muslim men and women in Myanmar, saying “we will take revenge of your blood”.
Spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan demanded that the Pakistani government halt all relations with Myanmar and close down its embassy in Islamabad.
“Otherwise we will not only attack Burmese interests anywhere but will also attack the Pakistani fellows of Burma one by one,” he said in a statement. The Myanmar embassy in Islamabad was not immediately reachable for comment.
The TTP frequently claims attacks on security forces in Pakistan but its ability to wage violence in countries further afield has been questioned.
But US officials say there is evidence the group was behind a failed 2010 attempt to bomb Times Square in New York, for which Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad was jailed for life.
TTP leader Hakimullah Mehsud has also been charged in the United States over the killings of seven CIA agents who died when a Jordanian Al-Qaeda double agent blew himself up at a US base in Afghanistan in December 2009.
Recent clashes in western Myanmar between Buddhist ethnic Rakhine and Muslim Rohingya have left dozens dead and tens of thousands homeless.
Last week, Amnesty International said hundreds of people, mostly men and boys, have been detained in sweeps of areas heavily populated by the Rohingya, with almost all held incommunicado and some ill-treated.
Most arrests appear to have been “arbitrary and discriminatory” and Amnesty said there were “credible reports” of abuses — including rape, destruction of property and unlawful killings — by both Rakhine Buddhists and the security forces.
Decades of discrimination have left the Rohingya stateless, and they are viewed by the United Nations as one of the world’s most persecuted minorities.
oh wow 30 to 40 K, terrorists down,,,wow wow,,,,, east asia is a safer place now,,,wow.
Aung San Suu Kyi……………british keep,,,,,bitch….speak up bark bark
rape shouldnt be an optin.why to target women.THIS WAS A COWARDLY ACT
I am from Myanmar. These Bengali Illegal Immigrants the one started.. they raped buddhist girl and then murdered her. All started by them. Also total illegal immigrant died was 56 only but they also killed 150+ buddhist, burnt down their Pagoda/temples.
Are Pakistanis contractors of Islam ? Why not they worry for their own country which is now known as FAILED STATE.

kindly do understand pakistan is atomic power and world super power who think it fail state are living in fools paradise and listen budhish monks if u dont stop killing of Muslims you all have to pay very dangerous and horibel price
These Taliban are really stupid, they are the enemies of Pakistan and Islam, they don't even know this. I am a Muslim and I support peace not violence. Shame on the so called Shaitaan Taliban who ironically are all illiterates for threatening Burma with violence while they themselves are guilty of murdering many thousands of innocent Muslims themselves.
TALIBAN SHOULD ATTACK ON BURMA
AS ATTACK PN AMERICA AND HELKP POOR MUSLIMS
Stop being thaikaydaar of Muslims, we dont know the true story, no one cares about Pakistan….these are the same Bengalis who killed Pakistani soldiers, people like you are stupid. Without American help you would be the slave of India. We have recieved weapons and money from America for over 60 years, you need to thank America, and hate India, but I think people like you love India and watch Indian movies and listen to Indian songs and hate America, when it is America that comes to help us.
Dont listen to Jamaat i Islami type haters, they are devils and troublemakers, today Pakistan is hated in the world thanks to these mullahs.
Ahmed shah , we are talking here about the innocent rohingyas. And you are showing ur opinion on islam. You are not solving the problem , u are making it worse. Pls stay silent that would be better. I am a myanmar citizen and i know what is happening there.
NOW WHERE IS TALIBAN ? AND I REQEUST TO PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT PLZ HELP THE MUSL;IMS AND MAKE UNITY OF MUSLIMS.
No buddhist organisations threatened Talibans with violence when they blew up the ancient buddha statue in Afghanistan because it was not Islam. That speaks for voluume about the difference between the two groups. There is no excuse to persecute one group or the other based on religion and Talibans are the worst of the worst when it comes to the issue of religion, in fact they are murderers.
How about Taliban killing their own fellow muslims daily in Pakistan.. atleast 20-25 people got killed daily in Karachi city only by taliban.. Hows that ?
Don't you feel the difference between ancient buddha statue and 20000 human????? How can you easily say that??? Are your goverment not feel ashame of killing small children??? You know burmese people were known for peace and their kind behavoir , still most of the burmese in yangon are very nice and they know everything. But some of you guys don't understand about politics. Arakan women was raped by your buddhist people and they threw her body near muslim village and they blame on muslims and they killed 10 muslims who were on religous journey, don't think they were muslim , just think for a while they were human and what was their mistake??
I am a Muslim and I agree with you, these Taliban are the NUMBER ONE enemy of Islam and Muslims, they are the biggest enemy of Pakistan and Pakistani military, these Taliban are devils and how dare they speak up for Muslims when they themselves are doing the same thing as Burmese people doing to Muslims.
Dont worry about Burma, worry about Pakistan, start improving your nation by starting to pay taxes and by not cheating and bribing and doing wrong things,
Pakistan should come first
send a photo pls
@Thein Sein : who said all this to U … its fake n false story on muslims.
Since many 100 of years U ppl. are killing them.
they are residents since many decades and no 1 can ignore the real history.
They are citizens of Burma.
Moreover, U soooo called peace makers… are the real culprits in masacre and riots.
You so called buddhists killed all civilians and helpless people and make false and fake stories of rapes and all this kind of bull shit..
Totally right SAMiR ,
Plsssss taliban attack myanmar and show them the power of Islamm… They are killing innocent muslims women, children.
Thein sein, you got justice for that arakan women. Now give us justice for 10 innocent muslims who were killed in june , children who were burnt, 100 of bengali women who are being raped, 20000 rohingyas who are killed..l who will give justice for them??
Thein Sein, don't give us false information of your pagoda and temples being burnt. Your goverment burnt our mosque. And you have arrested olma and aalim from arakan. Don't your goverment feel shame on killing innocent people?????
Mr. Samir, dont export your ideology of murdering innocent people.. Keep it only in your country..put your house in order. Moslems are being killed by another moslems daily in Pakistan.. No buddhist organisations threatened Talibans with violence when they blew up the ancient buddha statue in Afghanistan because it was not Islam. That speaks for voluume about the difference between the two religion. There is no excuse to persecute one group or the other based on religion and Talibans are the worst of the worst when it comes to the issue of religion.
Thein sein, what about 20000 rohingyas who are being killed?????
People will hate you when you blow up their Buddhas like in Bamiyan, this is why the world hates Muslims.
Those Buddhas were like Mecca to Buddhist.,
Respect other nations and they will respect you.
Without talking nonsensical words all must first stop the killings there in Mynamar. The world is watching all the pictures coming out of Myanmaar. Stop killings. pl stop! Stop! Stop!
