"This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach"
Barack Obama
US President Obama was making a national address Tuesday to mark the end of the combat mission in Iraq

bullet Pak Taliban threaten attacks in America and Europe corner

The Tehreek-e-Taliban(TTP) has threatened to launch terror strikes in the United States and Europe.

"We will launch attacks in America and Europe very soon," the Daily Times quoted Qari Hussain Mehsud, a senior TTP commander, as saying.

Mehsud has also claimed responsibility for the triple suicide bombings at a Shia mourning procession in Lahore on Wednesday, which killed 33 people, and an attack on a Shia rally in Quetta on Friday, which claimed at least 55 lives.

"It's revenge for the killings of innocent Sunnis," he said.

Mehsud said that the group's war was against America and the Pakistani security forces, but Shias were also considered enemies.

"Shias are also our target," he said. (ANI)
