FBI rejects Taliban US attack claim (Fool Baitullah Mehsud "foolish claimed")

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has dismissed claims made by the Pakistan Taliban that it was responsible for an attack in the state of New York in which a gunman killed 13 people. F00l Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, had claimed in a phone that he had ordered the shooting in which a man, believed to be a Vietnamese immigrant, opened fire at an immigration centre.Mehsud had said the attack was a direct response to the drone attacks carried out by US forces on Pakistani tribal areas and a second attacker had managed to escape.But Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman, said on Saturday: "Based on the evidence, we can firmly discount that claim."
