Afghan Taliban’s Support for Terrorists Poses Regional Threat
Islamabad: The Afghan Taliban regime’s continued support for terrorist elements and repeated breaches of its commitments have emerged as a serious threat to regional peace, as fresh evidence of cross-border terrorism has surfaced following the identification of an Afghan suicide bomber involved in the recent Quetta attack.
According to security sources, the second suicide bomber who carried out the attack on the Frontier Corps Headquarters (North) in Quetta on September 30 has been identified as an Afghan national. The attacker, Muhammad Suhail alias Khabbab, was affiliated with the militant group Fitna al-Khawarij.
Sources said that Suhail was a resident of Maidan Shahr district in Wardak province, Afghanistan.
The attack on the FC Headquarters claimed the lives of eight civilians and left forty others injured.
Security officials described the assault as yet another “shameful example” of Afghan terrorists linked to Fitna al-Khawarij carrying out attacks on Pakistani soil.
They warned that the Taliban regime’s continued patronage of such groups poses a grave challenge to peace and stability across the region.
