The Taliban have threatened that they would "carry out two bombings a week within Pakistan" in retaliation to the US drone attacks.

Hakimullah Mehsud, a deputy to Baitullah Mehsud who is the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, said in a telephone interview on Sunday that the Taliban were responsible for the suicide attacks in Pakistan's Islamabad and Chakwal, the New York Times reported.

There have been three suicide attacks in Pakistan in the past two days.

Mehsud said the Islamabad bombing on Saturday was in "retaliation" to an attack by a remotely piloted American aircraft on Wednesday in Orakzai in which at least 10 people were killed.

He said the Pakistani Taliban plan to carry out two bombings a week within Pakistan, the report said.
