Islamabad [Pakistan]December 20 (ANI): With the onset of winter, terrorist attacks from the western border are on the rise, especially from the border area with Afghanistan, Pakistani dialect media Pahenji Akhbar reported.
These attacks are usually carried out by the Islamic State, the Taliban and now also by the Afghan army. This has been happening for a long time this season.
On 16 December 2014, an army public school was attacked. Bacha Khan University was also attacked in Charsid during the winter. These two major events are vivid.
This winter, attacks in Swat, Waziristan and Quetta have also killed civilians and security officials. Attacks were also encouraged in the eastern region, Pahenji Akhbar reported.
Meanwhile, the ceasefire signed between Pakistan and the Taliban in June last year has expired. Pakistan is witnessing a repeat of 1979 and 2001. The threat from the western border is increasing. Winter is back. The winter may be long this time, and there may be no spring in Pakistan this time.
By the way, to ease tensions on the Pakistan-Afghan Chaman border, the 16-member jirga comprising prominent clerics, local elders and businessmen traveled to Afghanistan on Monday to negotiate with the TTP leadership, Geo News reported.
Speaking to reporters before leaving the country, Mufti Mohammad Qassem said they carried “a message of peace and friendship” with them.
“We have received a positive response from the Afghan authorities,” he added. The pastor added that it is in no one’s interest to lose ordinary people.
Malik Abdul Khaliq Achakzai hopes that following contacts and negotiations, the ongoing tension will be eased.
A day earlier, four police officers were killed and many others were injured in an overnight terrorist attack on the Bargai police station in the Lakki Marwat district.
Terrorists launched armed attacks on the police station from both sides. According to Geo News, a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the police and the gangsters, resulting in the death of four police officers and the injury of many others.
The attackers fled after the attack. Police have launched a search operation in the area looking for the vandals.
The law and order situation in KP has deteriorated over the past few weeks, as threats and attacks against security forces and prominent political figures have increased.
Police across the province are on high alert following a recent spike in attacks in areas such as Peshawar, Southern Region and Mardan Region, The News reported.
