The Pakistani Taliban has promised a wave of revenge attacks against the government a day after naming Mullah Fazlullah as its new leader.
Fazlullah, the man behind the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, was chosen after the US killed the group's previous chief, Hakimullah Mehsud, in a drone strike.
The group said its offensive "will target security forces, government installations, political leaders and police".
"We have a plan," said Asmatullah Shaheen, head of the Taliban's leadership council.
"But I want to make one thing clear. We will not target civilians, bazaars or public places. People do not need to be afraid."
Shaheen said the Taliban's main target included army and government installations in Punjab province, the political stronghold of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The Taliban statement condemned the Pakistani government, calling it a "slave of America" and claiming it has "full information" about US drone attacks in the group's tribal heartland.
Pakistan publicly condemns the strikes as a breach of its sovereignty but in private the government is said to broadly support them.
Malala travelled to Ireland to collect her Tipperary peace prize, and to be awarded Amnesty's Ambassador of Conscience earlier this year:
