The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on May 7 challenged the claim by the United States about the killing of al Qaeda ‘chief’ Osama bin Laden and demanded presentation of circumstantial evidence in the shape of a video to remove doubts, reports Dawn. In a message delivered through telephone to journalists from an unknown location, TTP’s ‘deputy spokesman’ Ehsanullah Ehsan alleged that Osama bin Laden was killed somewhere else and the US staged a drama to put pressure on Pakistan and other Muslim countries and to defame Islam. The TTP spokesman refused to accept the US version of Osama’s killing and burial at the sea of such an important man and asked for release of video showing his killing.

Dawn reported on May 9 that differences which cropped up among the leaders of Adezai Qaumi Lashkar over the deployment of law-enforcers in their area, raised fears that the TTP may exploit the situation. According to official sources Dilawar Khan, who heads lashkar, and his deputy Fazal Malik were not ready to accept each other’s leadership any longer. The differences had been simmering between their two clans since the former head of the lashkar, Haji Abdul Malik, was killed in a suicide attack in 2009. Both the top leaders of the anti-TTP body had developed differences over raids and arrest of people in different areas. Besides, political affiliations also caused differences between them as Dilawar belonged to Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) and the other group was associated with Awami National Party (ANP).

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) vowed to fight with “new zeal” in the wake of Osama bin Laden’s death to complete the al Qaeda chief’s mission of waging holy war against the West, the ‘deputy commander’ of TTP Waliur Rehman told the Associated Press on May 16, Daily times reported on May 18. Rehman said that terrorists would continue to stage attacks in the coming days. Rehman spoke to the AP along the border between North and South Waziristan. “After the martyrdom of Sheikh Osama, the Mujahideen (revenue unit) will continue jihad to complete his mission with a new zeal,” Rehman said, referring to his fighters. “We have the same target, programme and mission,” he added. “Our enemies are NATO, Jews and Christians.” Rehman also questioned details that have emerged about the US raid that killed bin Laden.

The vehicle was damaged, but no US personnel were seriously injured. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in telephone calls to AFP, claimed responsibility, threatening further attacks against Western targets and indicating that the blast was to avenge the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden by US Navy SEALs. “Our first enemy is Pakistan, then the United States and after that other NATO countries,” said TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan.

Five Security Force (SF) personnel and five Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants were killed while nine SF personnel were injured in an attack by TTP on the Pakistan Naval Station (PNS) Mehran within Faisal naval airbase Karachi that started in the night of May 22, reports Times of India. The gun battle is still continuing. Two US made surveillance aircraft were also damaged in the attack. Claiming the responsibility for the attack TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said, "We had already warned after Osama's martyrdom that we will carry out even bigger attacks". “The operation still continues. It is not over yet," said one security official. The cordon around the attackers was being tightened and the operation was likely to be completed soon, he added. Express Tribune reports that the Pakistan Intelligence had warned the Police and other Security agencies that terrorist outfits, including TTP, were planning to carry out such attacks on army, navy and air force installations. The Federal Interior Ministry had issued an alert, warning Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) to beef up security across the country.

Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir rejected the reports of “security breach” at the Pakistan Navy’s airbase that was attacked by TTP, saying the attack on the airbase could not be termed “security lapse”. “Terrorists wanted to cause damage to the assets of the navy. And it was clear that they targeted naval forces,” said Noman Bashir. Contrary to Bashir’s statement, Pakistan defence and political analysts termed the attack on the Mehran naval air base as a "big security lapse", reports Indian Express. Security Experts said that "insiders" were facilitating the militants in their deadly agenda and asked the Government and military to wake up to this. The daring attack by the armed militants, who used rockets, grenades and heavy ammunition, has raised serious doubt over the military's ability to protect its key installations. "It is a worrying thing that this attack is nothing but a serious security lapse on part of the navy," Air Vice Marshal and defence analyst (retd) Shahzad Chaudhary, said. "It is not possible for these terrorists to have so much creditable information about the presence of the aircrafts on the base without inside help. The fact that these militants have managed to hold off the SFs for 16 hours shows they came well drilled and prepared for the operation," Nasim Zehra, a political and current affairs expert said.

The Afghan Taliban on May 23 was quick to deny reports of their leader Mullah Omar being killed while being shifted by former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials from Quetta to North Waziristan, reports The Hindu. In a statement released in Kabul, the Afghan Taliban said: “We strongly reject these false claims of the enemy and urge our fellow countrymen, Mujahideen and the rest of the Muslims not to believe these intelligence lies and false reports. He is alive and well and is leading the Mujahideen in all aspects while living safely with reliance on Allah.” A similar denial came from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and was later quoted by Interior Minister Rehman Malik when asked if the Mullah Omar had been killed. This is not the first time the one-eyed militant has been reported dead. News about Omar being killed was aired by an Afghan television channel on the basis of an observation made by the spokesman of Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, Lutfullah Mashal. Stating that “our sources and senior Taliban members confirm that they can't contact him”, Mr. Mashal hoped that Omar was dead but could not confirm it. According to Mr. Mashal, the Taliban leader had been living in Quetta ever since he was forced to flee Afghanistan after the U.S.-led forces attacked the country in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. The Afghan television report also apparently named the former ISI Director-General, Hamid Gul, as among those retired members of Pakistan's intelligence service who were with Omar at the time of his reported death.

TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told Wall Street Journal that they have no plans to attack nuclear arsenal. A larger assault by the TTP on Mehran naval base in Karachi renewed fears that Pakistan’s sizable nuclear arsenal could be vulnerable. Ehsanullah Ehsan dismissed those concerns as America’s “excuse” to pressure Pakistan’s Government into fighting the TTP, who he portrayed as the country’s true protectors. “Pakistan is the only Muslim nuclear power state,” Ehsan said in a telephonic interview, adding that the TTP had no intention of changing that fact. He mocked Pakistan’s willingness to work with the US, saying, “Isn’t it a shame for us to have the Islamic bomb, and even then we are bowing down to the pressures of America.”

It was reported that the armed forces will carry out a limited operation in North Waziristan Agency primarily targeting al Qaeda, TTP and foreign militants, as against the widely held belief that the focus will be exclusively on the Haqqani Network. Military commanders ruled out the possibility of a full scale operation like the one launched in South Waziristan and said it was ‘unfeasible’ because of difference in ground realities. South Waziristan, they said, was a “no-go area” when they launched a major military offensive in October 2009 to flush out terrorists. “But the northern part has a massive presence of military and there are peace pacts with tribes that cannot be ignored.” A senior officer said, “The operation will be very selective and intelligence led.” The major target, it is said, will be the TTP militants who took refuge in North Waziristan after having been dislodged from south. “It will indeed be a big achievement if we succeed in neutralising some of the suicide bomber training centres,” added another officer.
