A leaked call between the leader of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Noor Wali and his associate revealed the plans to carry out terrorist attacks on schools, hospitals, and security forces. The TTP leader, Noor Wali, can be heard directing his associate to target government schools and hospitals with explosives and not to claim responsibility for the attacks. He also directed his sub-ordinate to attack the homes of police and military personnel, and to target schools and hospitals in order to create fear and chaos. Earlier on July 11, Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) on Thursday said that it has no plans to enter into any talks with the banned TTP. She said that Pakistan respects Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
