Despite the fact that CIA has claimed that the attack on its base in Afghanistan was collaborated and executed by TTP--the terrorist group involved in killings in Pakistan—the US officials are not concerned at TTP and say that as the group is active in terrorism inside Pakistan hence Pakistanis should be concerned over it not the US. 
The Americans are also reluctant to take any action against TTP.



WASHINGTON: “A US general, who oversees America’s war efforts in the Pakistan-Afghan region, has acknowledged that there has been an increase in drone attacks at suspected militant targets inside Fata since the assassination last month of seven CIA agents. 
Separately, the US military chief has said that a relationship with Pakistan is ‘absolutely critical’ to the United States and that’s why he has invested so much in grooming up this relationship.”
