Pakistan has condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist attack carried out by Khawarij belonging to the Gul Bahadur group on a Pakistani army camp in North Waziristan, which resulted in the martyrdom of four soldiers, the Foreign Ministry said.
“To convey our strong approach, the Afghan deputy head of mission was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the statement added.
The ministry expressed Pakistan’s grave concern over the continued support and facilitation provided by the Afghan Taliban regime to the FAK/TTP, enabling them to carry out terrorist attacks against the Pakistani military and civilian population along the Pakistan-Afghan border and adjacent areas.
It was pointed out that the permissive environment enjoyed by the FAK/TTP in Afghanistan belies Afghanistan’s international commitments as well as to Pakistan, which would not allow its territory to be used against any other country, including Pakistan.

Pakistan has demanded a thorough investigation and decisive action against the perpetrators and facilitators of the terrorist attacks launched against Pakistan from Afghan soil. The Afghan Taliban regime has been called upon to take immediate, concrete and verifiable measures against all terrorist groups operating from its territory, including their leaders.
The Afghan Taliban regime has also been categorically informed that Pakistan reserves the right to defend its sovereignty and protect its citizens, and will take all necessary measures to respond to terrorism originating from Afghan soil.
