TTP: "They are not affiliated with the Afghan Taliban of Mullah Omar who are supported by the Pakistani army and state." 

Hi, while I agree for the most part with the above statement, I have to take issue with a little bit of the wording, as petty as that may seem.  I believe that stating that the two groups have no "direct" affiliation would be clearer.  Reference #6 indicates that at some level they do have some sort of affiliation although they are both independent of one another.

Also, the source cited regarding Pakistani support for the Afghan Taliban only alludes to incidents prior to the US invasion of Afghanistan.  However, Reference #6 (from 2009) does indicate more current coordination between elements within the ISI and the Afghan Taliban.  I am going to modify the statement slightly to reflect these two points.
