Ex-NDS Director Says Pakistan Forces Operate Against TTP in Afghan Territory
2022-08-30
[KhaamaPress] Former Afghan National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) director Rahmatullah Nabil claims that the Pak military has started an operation against Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP), aka Pak Taliban, in the territory of Afghanistan.

The former Afghan official wrote on his Twitter handle on Monday, 29th of August, that Pakistain has launched operations to suppress the TTP in Afghanistan for days, without the consultation of the Taliban officials.

"Pakistain’s military operation against TTP has actually started since few days ago in Afghanistan’s territory," Nabil tweeted. "Either Mullah M Yaqoub has not been consulted or he is trying to pretend that they are independent."

Mullah Yaqoob Mujahid, the Taliban’s acting Minister of Defense, did not mention the Mighty Pak Army’s presence in Afghanistan during a presser held in Kabul on Sunday. Nevertheless, he urged Pakistain to cease allowing US drones access to its airspace.

Pakistain, on the other hand, has dismissed assertions made by the Taliban’s acting defense minister that the US has performed drone operations in Afghanistan through Pak airspace.

The Pak statement in addition to denying the allegations called on the Taliban authorities to fulfill its obligations under the international instruments to not allow its territory to be used by terrorism while labeling the Taliban minister’s remarks as "conjectural allegations."

Nabil’s remarks come as a CIA dronezap killed the al-Qaeda leader in the Afghan capital, Kabul, almost a month ago, while the Taliban alleges the drones accessed Afghanistan through Pakistain’s airspace.

The Taliban in Afghanistan has previously been able to secure a temporary ceasefire between the TTP and Pakistain and are actively mediating and facilitating peace talks between the two parties.
