Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, the PPP chairman said the “security and terrorist threat emanating out” of Afghanistan was the most crucial issue pertaining to the country in the region. He added that a whole “alphabet soup” of terrorist organisations were based out of Afghanistan.
He lamented that neither the international community nor the Afghan government had taken the situation seriously enough.
We are already observing an increase in terrorist activity in Pakistan after the fall of Kabul, but it won’t stop there if we and the interim government don’t take these groups seriously and they don’t exhibit the will and capacity to take on terrorist groups.
