Dear Zarvan,
This is what the Taliban spokesman, Ehsanullah Ahsan, said after the attack on the U.S. convoy in Peshawar in 2011: "The diplomatic staff of all NATO countries are our targets. We will continue such attacks. Pakistan is our first target, and America is our second." Furthermore, this is what Ehsanullah Ehsan said after government of Pakistan decided to reopen the NATO supply routes: "We will not only attack the supply truck but will also kill the drivers (of NATO supply trucks).” Transporters who resume supplies will be "considered a friend of the U.S." and will face the consequences.
There is no conspiracy theory here and these threats have come directly from their spokesperson. Our shared stance and principles against terrorism continue to hold the utmost importance. We hope to play our role in restoring peace in the region.
