The Pakistani Taliban on Monday warned foreign firms to leave the country after the launch of a military offensive in a troubled tribal district a day earlier.

"We warn all foreign investors, airlines and multinational corporations that they should immediately suspend their ongoing matters with Pakistan and prepare to leave Pakistan, otherwise they will be responsible for their own loss," said spokesman Shahidullah Shahid in a statement.
