Can Pakistan face down a growing Taliban insurgency?
[DW] The suicide kaboom at a mosque in northwestern Pakistain that killed dozens of officers is the country's worst terrorist attack in years. It signals a growing wave of Taliban...Arabic for students... -fueled militancy targeting the state. After the Taliban toppled Afghanistan's government in August 2021, authorities in neighboring Pakistain warned that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), the Taliban's Pak allies, would be emboldened in their yearslong rebellion against the government. Throughout 2022, faceless myrmidons stepped up attacks throughout Pakistain, with tensions escalating in November after the TTP called off a fragile cease-fire with the Pak government and ordered their fighters to carry out attacks "wherever you can in the entire country."
