I am glad to share my latest article with @ToreRHamming for @CTCWP a deep dive into Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) growing strength over the past two years. It assesses the TTP’s potential future trajectory & outlines its recent & more localized focus. https://t.co/TfK2qaz6oW

گر کیا ناصح نے ہم کو قید اچھا یُوں سہی
یہ جُنونِ عشق کے انداز چُھٹ جاویں گے کیا
ہے اب اس معمورہ میں قحطِ غمِ اُلفت اسد
ہم نے یہ مانا کہ دِلّی میں رہیں کھاویں گے کیا

what a sad sad day - such is the reach of digital propaganda and hate speech in Pakistan that it takes mere hours for it to become a life and death situation
لشکر جھنگوی کے سربراہ ریاض بسرا کے 1997ء میں ایس ایس پی گجرانوالہ اشرف مارتھ کے قتل میں مرکزی کردار پر معلوماتی تحریر۔ اشرف مارتھ اُس وقت کے وفاقی وزیرِ داخلہ چوہدری شجاعت حسین اور وزیرِ اعلیٰ پنجاب چوہدری پرویز الٰہی کے بہنوئی، جبکہ موجودہ وزیرِ داخلہ محسن نقوی کے سسر تھے۔
افراتفری کے عالم میں دیا گیا پیغام اگرچہ مختصر تھا مگر پولیس وائرلیس آپریٹر کی جانب سے اِسے بار بار دہرایا جا رہا تھا: ’جہانگیر صاحب پر فائرنگ ہو گئی ہے، شہر کے تمام پولیس افسران، جو اِس پیغام کو سُن رہے ہیں، وہ ہنگامی بنیادوں پر جہانگیر ہاؤس پہنچیں۔‘

Pakistan suffers from severe strategic confusion. Despite a quarter century combating militancy, its strategy stays deeply confused. Chronic ambiguity continues to undermine national security. Even current Afghan govt is more strategically clear on national security than Pakistan

The latest issue of Al-Qaeda’s Urdu flagship magazine Nawa-e-Ghazwa-e-Hind included attacks by Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen in Pakistan in a review of global jihadist operations from Feb–Apr 2026, alongside references to Al-Qaeda’s African affiliates, including Al-Shabaab and JNIM.
The Afghan Taliban, through its MoFA, strongly condemned the BLA-claimed suicide attack in Quetta that caused over 100 casualties, including 41 deaths, among them military personnel traveling home by train.
A devastating blast in Quetta has left dozens dead and injured but a Punjab “Senior Minister” chose to post week-old photos with congratulations. On such a day, basic sensitivity would have been to pause and postpone. The people-ruler disconnect is staggering
Update: BLA claims responsibility for #Quetta train station attack that, according to hospitals’ data, has killed 41 people. Among them, 32 are military personnel. 90 injured. Death toll may rise.
#BLA says the targeted train was carrying soldiers heading home for Eid vacation.
Damage appears too extensive for a suicide vest. It bears the hallmarks of a VBIED or similar high-yield device. It would be surprising if a lone suicide bomber caused this much damage unless militants have added a new,more powerful explosive to their arsenal
