Pakistani Taliban kill 2 policemen amid spike in violence

Associated Press  

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Militants riding on a motorcycle shot and killed two policemen Friday in northwestern Pakistan, a region bordering Afghanistan where violence has spiked in recent months, police said. The Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, is a separate group but also a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in neighboring Afghanistan in August 2021 as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout from the country after 20 years of war. The Pakistani Taliban regularly carry out shooting attacks or bombings, especially in the rugged and remote northwestern Pakistan, a former TTP stronghold. The recent uptick in violence has raised fears among residents of a possible new military operation in the former tribal regions of North and South Waziristan, now two districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. TTP spokesman Mohammad Khurasani claimed their fighters targeted troops in two separate attacks in North and South Waziristan on Friday, causing casualties.
