TTP rules out attacks on public places

MIRANSHAH: Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has distanced itself from attacks on public places, Geo News reported.

In a statement here Friday, TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said some elements could launch attack after Taliban refused to extend ceasefire. He said TTP had no link with attacks on public places, however, they could attack government places in their defence.

As in the past, doors of Taliban were open for dialogues, he said and added that if the government was serious TTP could carry on talks.
