Pakistain (TTP) acquired advanced military equipment.
At the UNSC’s United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) briefing on Afghanistan, Ambassador Munir Akram — Permanent Representative of Pakistain to the United Nations — said Pakistain faced a major threat from the TTP and its offshoots for their organised cross-border terrorist attacks into the country.
He said the attacks caused considerable loss to Pak civilians as well as soldiers and damage to the military and other installations.
"We have lost hundreds of our brave soldiers and civilians in these attacks just this year alone and last week, TTP affiliated group carried out a heinous attack on our security personnel in Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
, resulting in the loss of more than 23 precious lives.
"These attacks have become more lethal and sophisticated, since the TTP turbans have acquired and use advanced military equipment. These weapons obviously originate from the considerable stocks left behind by foreign forces. Yet, the question is: how did the TTP — a listed terrorist organization —secure these weapons.
