More than 200 TTP members who were involved in the fatal attack on Pakistan’s Chitral area have been apprehended by the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan’s efforts and persistent pressure on the Afghan Taliban to take action against the TTP, which has been utilizing Afghan territory to undertake cross-border operations on Pakistan, are what led to the arrest. In addition, Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Afghan Taliban, has told the Afghan people not to give money to or support the TTP, which he views as a terrorist organization. He declared that no one would be permitted to damage the ties between the two Islamic nations of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
During a meeting in Kabul on September 21, 2023, the Afghan Taliban briefed Pakistan’s special envoy Asif Durani on the details of the campaign against the TTP. Amir Khan Muttaqi, the foreign minister of the Afghan Taliban, also assured Durani that “solid steps” would be taken to “neutralize” the operations of the militants who organize and carry out attacks in Pakistan.
The TTP’s relocation from border regions to other regions of Afghanistan has also begun, according to the Afghan Taliban. Pakistan is extremely concerned about the TTP’s activities and presence in Afghanistan because the group has been responsible for multiple terrorist attacks against Pakistan in the past few years.
The Afghan Taliban had previously stated on February 23, 2023, that they supported Pakistan in dealing with the TTP because of their widespread terrorist activities. The leader of the Afghan Taliban likewise proclaimed on August 6, 2023, that cross-border assaults against Pakistan were prohibited and went against Islamic law. Voice of America stated that Pakistani officials had displayed “video evidence” and the corpses of the Taliban, who were slain by security forces after being part of the most recent high-profile “terrorist” attacks. In addition to the suicide attack on a paramilitary convoy in Balochistan, the strikes also included the bombing of a five-star hotel in Quetta and an attempt on the life of Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed.
