UNSC report affirms Pak stance about militant attacks from Afghanistan

A UN report has endorsed Pakistan's stance about being a victim of cross-border terrorism originating from Afghanistan, according to Radio Pakistan .

The report by a monitoring team of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) committee overseeing sanctions against Al-Qaeda and Da'esh expressed concern over the growth of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and their impact on the region.

Pakistan has consistently maintained that certain terrorist elements have been targeting Pakistan from their bases in Afghanistan.

The monitoring team specifically mentioned that Tehreek-e-Taliban and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar regularly attack Pakistani border posts from their bases in Afghanistan.

Diplomatic sources say that the fact that there is no negative reference about Pakistan in the report, is a testimony to the wide international recognition of the effective actions taken by Pakistani security forces against terrorism.
