TTP deny Boston Marathon blasts
Ehsanullah Ehsan says TTP is not involved in this attack.
MIRANSHAH (AFP) - Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Tuesday denied anything to do with explosions that killed three people and wounded more than 100 in Boston.
"We believe in attacking US and its allies but we are not involved in this attack," TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told AFP.
"We have no connection to this bombing but we will continue to target them wherever possible," Ehsan added.
Monday's explosions at the Boston Marathon, one of America's top sporting events, forced cities from New York to Los Angeles to go on high alert.
The TTP is based in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on the Afghan border and has been blamed for some of the deadliest suicide attacks in Pakistan.
US President Barack Obama says it is not yet clear who was behind the blasts. He said the perpetrators would pay. He did not utter the word "terror".
