Pakistani Taliban Claim Failed New York Bomb Attack -- Reuters
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attempted car bomb attack in New York's Times Square, a statement on an Islamist website said on Sunday.
It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the claim. Security officials have urged caution, saying there could be links to other Islamist groups or to a domestic cause in the United States.
"The Pakistani Taliban announces its responsibility for the New York attack in revenge for the two leaders al-Baghdadi and al-Muhajir and Muslim martyrs," said a statement on a website commonly used by Islamists.

American journalists to assist terrorists when it comes to Russia
Nick Perumov, famous Russian fantasy-writer, who lives in the USA, in a recent interview described his impressions of how the American media had covered the terrorist attacks in Moscow subway on March 29, which took more than fifty lives.
According to Perumov, The New York Times with no hesitation wrote about terrorists, who killed Russian citizens, as "the Chechen freedom fighters". "They are not called "terrorists" – but only "rebels", "insurgents", "guerrillas", "partisans" and thus enter the noble context" – noted the writer.
You can watch Perumov's interview here, but it's in Russian. So, if anyone speaks Russian, you're welcome.
"The New York Times" correspondent Clifford J. Levy (the author of the article) who has caused anger and bewilderment of the famous writer, is not alone in his sympathy to the terrorists.
"The Washington Post's" Moscow bureau Chief Philip P. Pan has also successfully found allegoric names for terrorists. He calls them "suicide bombers" and, again, "Islamist insurgents".
Different attitude of these "independent media" to terrorist activity causes at least bewilderment.
These media definitely qualify the explosions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Spain, India, the victims of which are innocent people, as terrorism, but similar bombings in Moscow is nothing but a struggle for freedom of "Islamist insurgents", "rebels" and "separatists". And measures to resist terrorism in such an ambiguous, confusing and far Russia are served by these media as "brutal suppression of the insurgency of the North Caucasus."
The spread of the information justifying the terrorists or assisting the terrorists is equal to supporting terrorism in every civilized state.
Are C. Levy and P. Pan's actions just the result of their incompetence or not knowing Russian reality? It is hard to believe. Both of them hold high ranks in the journalism hierarchy. Both of them had held offices in other countries before going to Moscow bureau of their newspapers. Both of them realize for sure that if they wrote like that about Muslim, Christian or Jewish terrorism in the US, it would certainly have a negative impact on their journalist careers.
It's really strange that in spite of the sympathy expressed by President Barack Obama with terrorist attacks in Moscow subway and calling for Russia to take part in the war against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, the U.S. newspapers keep on publishing their own opinion that smells like assisting terrorism? And in this case who is the customer of these materials published in the media?
