Pakistan on Wednesday urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to probe who provided latest weapons to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). At the UNSC’s UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) briefing on Afghanistan, Permanent Representative of Pakistan, Ambassador Munir Akram, said Pakistan faced a major threat from the TTP and its affiliates. “Any process of engagement with the Afghan Interim Government should be conducted on the basis of the action that it takes against these terrorist organizations. On Afghan refugees, Ambassador Akram said Pakistan had indeed paid an enormous price for its 40 years of generosity towards Afghanistan. After 40 years, we continue to host 1.4 million registered Afghan refugees with little or no support from the international community, he said.
