The New York Times reports that the Pakistani Taliban have become stronger since the Taliban returned to Afghanistan.
The New York Times reports that the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has become a powerful and organized group since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan.
According to the report, TTP forces have carried out extensive operations against Pakistani police and army in recent years, killing a large number of civilians.
The New York Times quoted security sources as saying that the group’s leaders receive financial support from the Taliban in Afghanistan and that their fighters cross the border without hindrance and receive training. However, the Taliban have denied any support for the TTP.
The report said that as the TTP’s operations have become more complex, the level of insecurity in Pakistan has increased dramatically.
The number of terrorist attacks in the country last year reached its highest level since 2015, according to the Pakistan Peace Research Institute.
The organization said most of the attacks were carried out by the TTP and Pakistan is now the second most affected country in the world by terrorism.
In response to the escalation of violence, the Pakistani military launched a massive operation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, near the Afghan border, this summer.
However, reports indicate that local residents remain at risk, insecurity and displacement.
