No Info About Who or Where, or What He’s Doing

Adding to the rapidly growing list of official “warnings” that bear all the trappings of wild guesses, senior US officials informed Fox News that there are indications that a member of the Pakistani Taliban is inside the United States.

Somewhere in the nearly 4 million square miles of the territorial United States, one of the 300+ million people in the nation is affiliated with the Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP). “We know the guy’s here, but don’t know anything about him,” one official noted.

And when they say “don’t know anything about him,” they mean it. Officials say they have absolutely no idea who this person is, where he is, or what sort of plot he might be involved in. Officials added that it did not appear to be an “imminent” threat, though it seems difficult they could know that for sure, given the paucity of information.

Faisal Shahzad, who failed in an attempt to bomb Times Square, was link to the TTP. The group has vowed to launch attacks against US soil in retaliation for years of US drone strikes against their territory.
