Rawalpindi, Pakistan: On 6 February 2025, an Afghan National involved in terrorism inside Pakistan was killed during an operation conducted by the security forces in general area Datta Khel of North Waziristan.
The individual was later identified as Luqman Khan alias Nusrat (Afghan National), Son of Kamal Khan, resident of Spera District, Khost Province, Afghanistan.
Interim Afghan Government authorities are being approached to take over the body of the individual, being an Afghan citizen.
Such incidents are irrefutable evidence of the involvement of Afghan Nationals in terrorist activities in Pakistan. The interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by terrorists for perpetrating acts of terrorism against Pakistan.
It may be mentioned the leadership of the Pakistan Army during the 267th Corps Commanders’ Conference expressed grave concern over the continued use of Afghan soil by Fitna Al Khawarij for terrorist activities against Pakistan. The forum stressed the imperative of concrete and tangible actions by the Interim Afghan Government against Fitna Al Khawarij (TTP terrorists) instead of denials as well as continuing with the strategy of undertaking all necessary measures in defence of Pakistan and its people. Participants paid profound tribute to the sacrifices made by the Shuhada of the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies, and citizens who have laid down their lives in pursuit of peace and stability in their beloved motherland. The forum undertook a comprehensive review of the regional, and internal security landscape, assessing the full spectrum of threats.
