Taliban claim killing of Saudi employee

ISLAMABAD: Taliban said on Monday they killed a Saudi Arabian diplomat in the city of Karachi.

"We take responsibility," a Taliban spokesman said by telephone from an undisclosed location, referring to the killing of the diplomat earlier in the day.

"Until America stops chasing Al Qaeda and stops drone strikes we will keep carrying out such attacks," he said, referring to US attacks with pilotless aircraft on militants in northwest Pakistan.
