By Ishtiaq Mahsud, The Associated Press

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would “amaze” the world.

“Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world,” Mehsud told The Associated Press by phone. He provided no details.

In his latest comments, Mehsud identified the White House as one of the targets in an interview with local Dewa Radio.The threat comes days after U.S. President Barack Obama warned that al-Qaida is actively planning attacks on the United States from secret havens in Pakistan.

Thanks - can’t say I would be surprised. I have other thoughts about that as well, but best to keep to myself.
