  • NEW HOUSE SEARCHES IN KABUL – Taliban security forces conducted house-to-house searches in the Makrorian neighborhood. While no information was provided about what spurred the searches, a source in the Police said the operation was launched to try and interdict an ISIS-K cell that was rumored to be staying in the area.

NEXT 24 HOURS
ISLAMABAD - RAWALPINDI SECURITY CHECKS TO BEGIN – Possibly in a pre-coordinated move to coincide with the arrest of the inflammatory PTI party leader, Pakistani security forces will man all the security checkpoints in Islamabad and Rawalpindi starting today.
