Pakistan terrorism

Beijing is waiting to see if new security measures are successful – and if its business in Pakistan can resume as normal.

The announcement of Pakistan’s new military operation, Azm-e-Istehkam, has sent shockwaves across the Pashtun region in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which has suffered tremendously amid past operations.

The China-Pakistan joint statement issued during the visit of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is illuminating, both for what it says – and doesn't say.

A new wave of militancy threatens the next phase of CPEC – and potentially the China-Pakistan relationship.

An army spokesperson said the attack, which killed Chinese engineers working on Pakistan’s Dasu Dam, was carried out by an Afghan national.

The Taliban have proved unresponsive to Pakistan's security concerns, resulting in mounting tensions between the two.

Two separate attacks on election offices underscored the volatile security situation in Balochistan province.

Pakistan’s relevance in the Middle East theater is natural, and it is about time that Pakistan leverages that relevance to alleviate its isolation.

For South Asia in particular – a region plagued with insurgency and cross-border tension for several decades – Hamas' devastating attack on Israel presents numerous lessons in warfare. 

Terrorist attacks will continue to plague the country unless the state takes action against their common denominator: religious extremism.

There is a widespread belief in Balochistan that the authorities in Pakistan have deliberately allowed Islamic fundamentalism to flourish in the province in general – and in Mastung in particular.
