Cross-border terrorism by Taliban seeks to destabilise Pak democracy: Rpt

Business Standard  

The Taliban who were helped by Pakistan to rein in Afghanistan is now seeking to destabilise Pakistan's democracy empowering the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan that is battling Islamabad, working to launch a 'jihad' in Pakistan. More than the money, the cause of concern to Islamabad is the rise of terror attacks across Pakistan attributed to the TTP in recent months, confirming that not only the TTP, but other terror groups are also reassembling in Afghanistan, reported The Times of Israel. The Pakistani accusation of Afghan soil being used for cross-border terrorism came days after a UN terrorism monitoring report said the Taliban had failed to take "steps to limit the activities of foreign terrorist fighters in the country". To the chagrin of Islamabad that had hoped to effectively tackle the TTP once the Taliban took Kabul, the new rulers have washed their hands off saying it was Pakistan's "internal matter," reported The Times of Israel.
