Saeedullah Saeed's remarks come amid a sharp increase in TTP-led violence emanating from Afghan territory, with over 600 attacks in Pakistan recorded in 2024, according to a UN report.
Trump’s gratitude towards Pakistan for apprehending ISKP terrorist Sharifullah is seen as recognition of the Pakistani military’s role in combating terrorism. But it’s not that simple.
The frequency of TTP attacks in Pakistan has increased—from 267 in 2021 to 365 in 2022—and the militant group has also been systematically going after hard targets.
Taliban spokesperson says the ‘reckless’ Pakistani strikes took place at 3 am (local time) Monday, killing 3 women and 3 kids. Islamabad is yet to issue an official response.
The strikes came as Taliban refutes claims of militant attacks on Pakistan's soil. The latter’s army and foreign office did not immediately comment on the strikes.
Four other people comprising the two policemen, rangers personnel and a civilian had been killed while 17 others were admitted to hospital with injuries.
The dossier targeting india and PM Modi might win Pakistan's establishment applause from nationalists, but it won't extricate the country from the minefields it has laid for itself.
China should support an inclusive process in Afghanistan. The alternative would be either a permanent black security hole or an Islamist dystopia on China’s doorsteps.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
The Chinese are said to have hired ex-fighter pilots & air force operators from NATO countries over the past several years to help them fine-tune their operational & flying capabilities.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
