Militant commander Waliur Rehman Mehsud said US President Barrack Obama is "number one enemy" of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and would fight till the US and its allied forces are expelled from Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Taliban did not fear death, as they preferred death to dishonourable life, he said. He also claimed that he has been in charge of the group's administrative affairs since past two months.
