The TTP and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan ( IMU ) have a long history of collaboration . At one point prior to his appointment as TTP chief , Baitullah Mehsud lived with Tohir Yo ' ldosh , the IMU 's former leader , who became an ideological inspiration and offered the services of his 2,500 fighters to Mehsud . In April 2009 Muslim Khan listed the IMU among the TTP 's allies in an interview with AP . The IMU posted a video online in September 2010 that featured footage of Yo ' ldosh 's successor , Abu Usman Adil , meeting with Hakimullah Mehsud and Wali-ur Rahman Mehsud . On 8 June 2014 , the TTP accepted responsibility for conducting the Jinnah International Airport attack . The militants who participated in the attack were Uzbeks belonging to the IMU , and the TTP described the attack as a joint operation between TTP and IMU
