ISLAMABAD – Undeniable evidence has reportedly surfaced indicating that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan may have facilitated the entry of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) into Pakistan. According to credible sources, an alleged letter from Afghan intelligence confirms that certain officials instructed the TTP’s key member, Abu Bakr Afridi, and 25 of his associates to enter Bajaur, a tribal district in Pakistan.
The Turkish news agency Turkiye Urdu claimed that the letter originated from the intelligence department of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, explicitly authorizing TTP fighters to cross into Pakistani territory and carry out specific operations. The letter, obtained by HTN through sources, further corroborates these claims.
Details of the Alleged Operation
Sources indicate that the letter was sent from Afghanistan’s northern Kunar province, directing Taliban commanders to provide Afridi and his associates with all necessary assistance to ensure their unimpeded entry into Pakistani tribal areas.
Pakistani security analysts have termed this development “extremely alarming,” emphasizing that it constitutes a direct violation of Afghanistan’s commitment not to allow its territory to be used for terrorism.
Regional Implications Amid Rising Tensions
This revelation comes at a time of heightened tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, particularly over cross-border terrorism, refugee returns, and mutual distrust. Although ongoing negotiations in Doha and Istanbul have temporarily maintained a ceasefire, such incidents threaten both the truce and future talks.
Analysts warn that if elements within the Islamic Emirate are indeed supporting the banned TTP, it could not only endanger Pakistan but also destabilize Afghanistan itself, potentially triggering a new wave of terrorism in the region.
Pakistan Calls for Enforcement of Security Agreements
Pakistani experts have once again urged the Afghan government to prevent its territory from being used by any terrorist group and to ensure full compliance with bilateral security agreements. As of now, the Islamic Emirate has not issued an official response regarding the alleged letter.
