‘Back from dead’ Pakistan Taliban leader threatens US cities
• RawStoryThis video is from Al Jazeera, broadcast May 3, 2010.

The videos emerged after an attempted car bombing in New York City,
for which his faction claimed responsibility in a third video, and
provided the most substantial evidence so far that he survived a US
attempt on his life.
However, Mehsud's group has made false claims in the past. A little over a year ago, the group "claimed responsibility for the attack on an immigration center in New York which left 13 people dead."
Mehsud threatened to retaliate against the United States for the killing of Islamist militant leaders, appearing in a nine-minute video allegedly made on April 4, after his supposed death in January.
The videos
spotlight the Islamist militant threat in nuclear-armed Pakistan, which
the United States has put on the front line of the war on Al-Qaeda and
where Pakistani troops have waged multiple offensives against the
Taliban.
