The intelligence agencies make such announcements from time to time to avoid being held responsible should an attack (God forbid) happen. They can at least refer to the news and say, we already told you so. It would be more helpful if the varied agencies work together in identifying, catching and/or neutralizing the culprits before they are able to strike.

Lets rephrase it....
taliban have disassociated themself from ilyas kashmiri and ttp....
Ilyas is probably taking help from former northern alliance against pakistan and naming it as taliban
third...ilyas is taking help from indian bosses in afghanistan and afghan taliban are not in contact with indians...but indians are in contact with former northern alliance leadrs and fighters that is what will be used against pakistan.
