ISLAMABAD - After Pakistan’s pres­sure to take action against TTP militants involved in the attack on Pakistani border posts in Chitral, Afghan Tali­ban authorities have or­dered operation against TTP hideouts in Kunar. The Afghan Taliban FM had assured that the Afghan territory would not be utilized against Pakistan. Among the arrested militants were those TTP militants involved in the terrorist attack on Pakistani military posts. The Afghan au­thorities were now sending arrested TTP militants to notorious Pul Charkhi jail. It is worth noting here that the Afghan Taliban had consistent­ly denied the presence of TTP on Afghan soil, but the truth has now surfaced.
