Sacrifices must be made for international amity, amirite?

[GEO.TV] Islamabad’s efforts to counter cross-border attacks have borne fruits as interim Afghan rulers arrested 200 suspected Lions of Islam involved in attacks against Pakistain, Voice of America (VOA) reported, citing Pak officials privy to the development.

The report said the Afghan rulers have also implemented other "concrete steps" to "neutralise" the terrorist activity.

Pakistain (TTP) were shared in bilateral talks they hosted last week in Kabul with a high-level delegation from Islamabad.

The talks took place after four soldiers embraced martyrdom while repulsing terrorist attacks on two Pakistain Army check posts located near the Afghanistan border in the general area Kalash, District Chitral, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on September 6.

"On 6 September 2023, a large group of faceless myrmidons equipped with the latest weapons, attacked two Pak military posts located closer to Pakistain Afghanistan border in general area Kalash, District Chitral," a statement from the military's media wing read.

During the fire exchange, 12 faceless myrmidons "were sent to hell", while a large number of the Lions of Islam were critically injured, as per the ISPR statement.

The Afghan Taliban "arrested 200 TTP cadres returning from the Chitral attack. They are now behind bars," VOA quoted an official as saying on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to publicly interact with the media.

He added that de facto Afghan authorities were in the process of relocating other TTP members away from the border with Pakistain.

"But we have to wait and see the outcome of these steps before drawing any conclusions. So, you have to give them some time to consolidate these measures," the official remarked.

Pakistain's special representative on Afghanistan, Asif Durrani, led the delegation to Kabul, with senior military officials also accompanying him. Officials in Islamabad at the time described as "promising" their "extensive" discussions with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and his team.
