Taliban claim responsibility for NY attack

[Canuck_Buck]

A top Taliban leader has claimed responsibility for a shooting rampage outside a US civic center in New York that left fourteen people dead.

"I accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to US drone attacks," Pakistani Taliban leader Baituallah Mehsud told a news channel by phone from an undisclosed location.

According to Mehsud, a Pakistani national carried out the attack along with another unidentified man, warning that such attacks would continue.

"Such attacks will continue. It was revenge to US drone attacks (in Pakistan) and brutalities in Palestine," he said.

Apparently, the gunman took around 20 to 40 people hostage before starting the shooting.

According to conflicting television and newspapers reports, several hours after the gunman entered the building, police brought out two men with their hands tied behind their backs.

Figures released by the police indicate that 14 people, including one of the gunmen, were killed during the Friday shooting at the civic association building in Binghamton.

Police say four people are critically wounded and 37 others have been safely escorted out.

I heard it on FOX news and they reported that the Governor or other top official said there was no truth to it.

Our government not lie to us, just like the Sec of State and ATF when they tell the media that 90% of the guns in Mexico are from the US. When their Mexican counterparts refute it. Come now. I think we're all smart enough to believe every thing we're told.

[emptyquiver2]

17% are from here, of which the majority are stolen. 83% are from the Black Market and cousin Hugo. AK's from China, Frags from Korea, RPG's from Spain and fromer Soviet Bloc countries.

Just send Hillary over there to talk to them. They will stop all the terrorism and come over to San Fransico for a love in, all the while, not forgetting to wear a flower in their hair.
