National Action Plan

Pakistan's government has lost the brief momentum it had to fight radical Islamist groups.

Why is the world reluctant to recognize Pakistan’s sacrifices in the fight against terrorism? The APS attack and its aftermath serve as a test case.

Pakistan has tried before to bring extremists into mainstream politics. It doesn’t end well.

The Islamic State's flag emerges in Pakistan's capital. How serious is the threat?

After a spate of attacks, efforts by the Pakistani government to rein in terror groups are largely window-dressing.

Pakistan’s anti-terror campaign faces acute limitations when it comes to action against groups with mass public support.

Pakistan cannot afford complacency in its counterterrorism efforts.

The state’s policy of allowing fundamentalist groups to operate and preach freely in the country has radicalized Pakistani society.

The recent atrocities at Charsadda are a painful reminder of Pakistan's lack of seriousness in combating terrorism.
