Pak army reacts as Afghan MoD insists terror safe havens in key Pakistani cities
2017-07-21
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Pak military officials reacted regarding the remarks of the Afghan defense officials regarding the latest operation launched in Khyber Agency
... the place to go if you've got an Indiana Jones hat and whip. Chock full of high adventure and treacherous Pathans. You should really train up to it, though...
, close to the Durand Line, saying such remarks are unwarranted.

The Afghan defense officials had earlier said the terrorist centers are located in the key cities of Pakistain and not in the tribal regions of Khyber Agency.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
a Pak military front man has said "Afghan Ministry of Defence’s response to Operation Khyber IV is unwarranted and runs counter to Pakistain Army’s efforts for better Pak-Afghan coordination and cooperation."

The ministry of defense front man Gen. Dawlat Waziri said Monday that the main centers and sanctuaries of the terrorist groups are located in the key cities of Pakistain and not in the tribal regions close to the Durand Line as he was responding the launch of the new operations by the Mighty Pak Army in Khyber Agency.

The Afghan officials have long been insisting that the leadership councils of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group and the notorious Haqqani terrorist network are based in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, Quetta, and other parts of Pakistain from where they plan and coordinate attacks in Afghanistan.

This comes as the US Department of Defense in its report said last month that "Afghan oriented hard boy groups, including the Taliban and Haqqani Network, retain freedom of action inside Pak territory and benefit from support from elements of the Pak Government."

The report further added "Although Pak military operations have disrupted some hard boy sanctuaries, certain murderous Moslem groups--such as the Taliban and the Haqqani Network--were able to relocate and continue to operate in and from Pakistain. The United States continues to convey to Pakistain at all levels the importance of taking action against all terrorist and murderous Moslem groups."
