Pakistani Taliban
islamist militant organization operating along the Durand Line / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (commonly called TTP) are a militant Islamist group in Pakistan. Like the Taliban in Afghanistan they are mostly Pashtun. They have done a number of attacks all over Pakistan.[1] The United States has classified them as a terrorist organisation. While they have a common name with the Taliban in Afghanistan, their ideas are different.[2] They also have a different leadership and their goals are different from those of the Afghan Taliban.[3]
