the provincial authorities claimed that the security situation in KP was satisfactory.
A premier intelligence agency has already intimated to the government that Jammatul Ahrar, krazed killer Islamic State (IS) group and Tehrik-e-Taliban

Pakistain (TTP) have been a serious threat to security of the country.

the government has been denying the presence of IS snuffies in any part of the country.
The IGP said the law and order situation in the province was under control but the worsening security situation in Afghanistan and strengthening of the IS snuffies in the border areas of the neighbouring country were an indicator of unrest in the region.
He also informed Nacta that the IS had been seeking recognition in areas from Bajaur Agency, aka Turban Central
...Smallest of the agencies in FATA. The Agency administration is located in Khar. Bajaur is inhabited almost exclusively by Tarkani Pashtuns, which are divided into multiple bickering subtribes.

...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...
The IGP sought better coordination among all law enforcement agencies to handle the situation.
He appreciated the role of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) and expressed the hope that its capacity and strength would be enhanced.
When contacted, Mohammad Amir Rana, security and political analyst and director of Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), said law enforcement agencies already knew about surging of IS terror group in major parts of Afghanistan.
"Pak security and law enforcement agencies are already after ISIS and IS fighters but after recent suicide kaboom in Attock the law enforcement agencies, including the police, need to be more careful and take all possible measures to check them. Attock bombing was alarming for our law enforcement and intelligence agencies."
He said though none of the krazed killer groups, including IS and TTP, had grabbed credit for the Attock suicide kaboom, these groups could be behind the attack in which two people were killed and several others injured.

He said the security apparatus and intelligence agencies should be prepared to prevent any terrorist attack on political gatherings.
