Pakistani Taliban

It is time for Pakistan’s political and military establishment to wake up and reconcile with the fact that they can’t negotiate their way to peace.

The country's political parties are using the rising terrorist attacks in the country to score points against each other.

The mosque is located in a police compound in a high-security zone in Peshawar.

The circumstances are dangerously ripe for a destabilizing element to shift the strategic balance in South Asia, with global consequences. 

The TTP has called for attacks on Pakistani leaders while the Taliban in Kabul push back against Pakistani accusations of Afghanistan harboring terrorists. 

In addition to taking around ten policemen hostage, the militants have snatched weapons and taken control of the facility in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The State Department added four leaders of TTP and al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent to its list of "Specially Designated Global Terrorists."

The announcement came a day before General Asim Munir takes charge as army chief.

With the TTP’s history of failed agreements and its demand to establish exclusive control over the former FATA, why is Pakistan so keen on talks?

Pakistan’s government is talking with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), sparking fears about what the state is prepared to negotiate away.

The renewed militancy prompted by the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan threatens hard-won gains for the women of northwest Pakistan.

A recent spate of attacks is adding weight to fears that the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan poses a security nightmare for Pakistan.
