- Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan ( _ur. تحريک طالبان پاکستان) (TTP) is the main Taliban militant umbrella group in Pakistan. It is a Sunni (Deobandi/Wahabi) sectarian group allegedly involved in terrorist violence, primarily targeting minority Shia and majority Sunni (Barelwi) Muslims in Pakistan.
It was formed in December 2007 under the leadership of Baitullah Mehsud. The deputy leader is Maulana Hafiz Gul Bahadur and Maulana Faqir Mohammed is third in command. [Abbas, Hassan.

TTP claimed responsibility for the 23 July 2008 Swat Valley bombing.
On August 25, 2008 Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan was banned, its bank accounts and assets frozen and it was barred from appearing in the media. It was also announced that bounties would be placed on prominent leaders of the TTP.
