Afghanistan role in TTP reorganization has 'come to the fore'

The  Afghanistan role in the reorganization of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan has come to the fore as there is evidence of the involvement of Afghan suicide bombers in terrorism in Pakistan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.

In 2014, the Pakistan Army launched Operation Zarb-e-Azab to eliminate terrorism in the country. When the TTP was disintegrated, the terrorists fled to Afghanistan to save themselves and reorganize.

In 2021, the TTP was the first to celebrate the victory of the Taliban and described the capture of Kabul by the Afghan Taliban as a great triumph.

TTP leader Noor Wali Mehsud announced his unconditional support to the Taliban, and renewed his pledge of allegiance to Taliban Amir Haibatullah Akhunzada.

After the Taliban control in Kabul, hundreds of TTP terrorists were released from jails which increased their strength.

Among the TTP leaders who were released from Afghan prisons were included TTP Vice Commander Faqir Muhammad Bajuri and former spokesman Mufti Khalid Balti.

The leadership of the Afghan Taliban apparently discourages its fighters from joining the war against the Pakistani state but some groups of Afghan Taliban think that it’s their religious and national duty to support the TTP given the similarity of their point of view.

TTP terrorists have developed personal relationships in the tribal areas of Pakistan, due to which the terrorists have got golden opportunities to organize themselves with complete security in the Afghan territory adjacent to Pakistan.

In a video, TTP terrorists can be seen trying to cut the fence on the border.

Some soldiers of the Afghan Taliban have even said that the next part of their jihad is the war against Pakistan.
