Pakistain (TTP) is hell-bent on plunging the country into chaos, with plans to set off a security nightmare by bombing educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and the homes of military and coppers.

These disturbing terror plans were revealed after a phone call by Noor Wali Mehsud, the head of the banned TTP, giving instructions to his henchmen for attacks in Pakistain, came to surface, according to security sources.

This development cements Islamabad's stance that Afghan soil is being used to carry out terrorist attacks in Pakistain. Numerous TTP leaders, including Noor Wali, are reportedly holed up in regions of Afghanistan bordering Pakistain and are pulling the strings of local terror networks responsible for most of the attacks in Pakistain.

The other voices in the audio call have been identified as local commanders Ahmad Hussain Mehsud alias Ghat Haji, and Saqib Gandapur.

The call revolves around Noor’s directives on how to inflame the security situation in the country. In that conversation, he can be heard outlining two main methods for disrupting peace and order in Pakistain.

Suggesting that one method is to target government schools or hospitals with bombings, the TTP leader orders his men to carry out attacks on one or two schools or hospitals without claiming responsibility for them.

The TTP chief also hashes out a second method, which he says involves destroying the homes of coppers and soldiers.

In the call, Noor Wali instructs his lieutenants to keep the conversation confidential and ensure that no one else is aware of the plan and stresses that if questioned, he should not be linked to the operations and nothing should be traced back to TTP.

Ahmad Hussain, while affirming the TTP chief’s deadly plans, can be heard telling Gandapur to target the homes of high-ranking police, army, and FC officials with bombs and to either close down or blow up schools secretly — without taking credit for the attacks.

#1 Carnegie Endowment: "Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is the largest militant organization fighting against the state in Pakistan. [It} boasts several thousand fighters in Afghanistan, with strongholds on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Although Pakistani military actions, U.S. drone warfare, and factional infighting led to the TTP’s decline from 2014 to 2018, the militant group has had a strong resurgence since the Afghan Taliban and U.S. government signed a peace deal in February 2020. In fact, since July 2020, ten militant groups opposed to the Pakistani state have merged with the TTP, including, among others, three Pakistani affiliates of al-Qaeda and four major factions that had separated from the TTP in 2014. Following these mergers, TTP violence has become more frequent, and this violent streak continues to accelerate as a result of the Afghan Taliban’s takeover in Kabul in August 2021."
