The United States has added the Pakistani terrorist organization Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to the terrorism blacklist.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a notice published in the Federal Register that TTP threatens US national security. She designated the group as a “foreign terrorist organization” under U.S. law. Clinton further named the group’s top leaders, Hakimullah Mehsud and Mir Wali UrRehman, “specially designated global terrorists”, a classification that will result in the imposition of additional State and Treasury department sanctions on these individuals.
Clinton said further in the notice that each has “committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States.”
The sanctions enable the U.S. government to freeze any assets of the group or its leaders in any U.S. jurisdiction. It will also make it illegal for Americans to provide funding or material support to them and bars them from entering the United States.

The Taliban have said that US General David Petraeus is killing more civilians and drawing more attacks on US and NATO troops since he took command in Afghanistan.
The Afghan Taliban said on their website `Petraeus only accomplishment since he took over US and NATO troop command three weeks ago, is civilian casualties (mass murder), which is being considered by many nas his new war strategy and tactic`.
The website claimed that `90 non-combatant defenseless civilians have been martyred by the US invaders` blind bombardments across Afghanistan over the past two weeks, adding that such actions only create growing resentment by Afghans against foreign troops`.
Over the past one and a half year the US forces have increased attacks with unmanned drone aircraft in Afghanistan. Regarding these attacks Taliban said `of every type on US invading forces…have reached record levels since General Patraeus took charge. The consensus among the people of Afghanistan is there is a lack of morale among US troops which has left Petraeus with no other alternative but to resort to carrying out his vicious war plans and tactics, which are causing further civilian casualties (mass murder) over and over again`. This is creating a whole new generation of terrorists who will carry a hatred toward the US
