@AfghanStratEye Of all bad men, the afghani religious hypocrites are the worst.
We don't need your acknowledgments we the people of Pakistan are in war with you.
@aamajnews_EN Afghani and Israeli are same parasite
Both back stub their benefactor both betrayed on their master both have no molars, dignity, wisdom and religion just use the name of religion and justify their wrong deeds .
@Khushalkhan010@WazirOfWana It's better for you to learn the difference between war and terrorism
As you don't know anything on the said subject I will leave you here
@Ajmalzadran18 KP was, is, and always will be the sovereign territory of Pakistan. Stop claiming our land as 'Great Afghanistan' based on imaginary maps
And as for ruling the world you can't even host a single international cricket match in Kabul.
@Ajmalzadran18 Your players grew up in Peshawar, learned cricket on Pakistani grounds, and used PCB facilities to reach the international stage. Calling Pakistani sovereign soil your 'home' while relying on our infrastructure for decades is peak ingratitude.

Taliban Co-founder Mullah Dadullah Was Tracked Down Through His Bacha Bazi Victim, Former CIA Officer Says
In National Geographic’s Tracking the Butcher, former CIA officer Darrell Blocker describes how intelligence forces tracked senior Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah.
During a raid, two of Dadullah’s men and a teenage boy reportedly kept by Dadullah for sexual exploitation through the practice known as bacha bazi (“boy play”) were detained. The documentary describes the teenager as a victim of sexual abuse.
According to Blocker, Dadullah became desperate to recover the boy and increased his phone and radio communications. This increased activity helped intelligence officers track him.
Later, a tracking device placed on Dadullah’s brother, Mansour, helped lead intelligence forces to Dadullah’s location in Helmand, where British SBS forces carried out the final operation.
Blocker said his “heart broke” when he met the frightened teenager. After Dadullah’s death, he opposed returning the boy to the family that had placed him in that situation. Instead, arrangements were made for the teenager, who was talented in art, to learn truck painting and decoration and begin a new life.
Afghan Taliban still have advocates in Pakistan portraying a soft image of the terrorist regime. These Taliban lobbyists continue to project the regime as being ready for dialogue to resolve the issue.
The fact is that the ears of every Pakistani are tired of hearing such verbal assurances from the Taliban, with little to no progress on the ground. Even the commitments made during the first phase of the Urumqi talks have not been fulfilled.
International bodies, including the United Nations, have documented in several assessment reports that the Taliban regime is providing support or shelter to terrorist networks, including TTP, BLA, Al-Qaeda, ETIM and Tehreek-e-Taliban Tajikistan.
Keeping these terrorist networks on Afghan soil appears to be a deliberate policy of the Taliban regime. It is therefore astonishing that Taliban lobbyists in Pakistan’s media, establishment and political circles continue to push this narrative, portraying the regime as peace-loving rather than as a regime accused by international bodies of providing an environment in which terrorist networks operate.
Pakistan's forces neutralised the drones and hit back. On September 24, Pakistan struck 10 sites used to launch the drones. Pakistan's response was calibrated and proportionate; limited to identified military objectives.
We have seen this pattern before.
In October 2025, 11 soldiers, including a Lt Col and a Major, were martyred in an operation against TTP militants in Orakzai. Militants then attacked the Police Training School in D.I. Khan, martyring seven policemen. Then came a full-blown attack across the border. Pakistan lost 23 soldiers and killed more than 200 Taliban and affiliated fighters.
Even recent diplomatic outreach met the same disdain. According to a Kandahar source, Taliban ministers told Türkiye’s intelligence chief that issues could only be discussed in Kandahar. Invited there, the Taliban chief reportedly refused at the last minute, calling them “Western.” The meeting was shifted to an undiplomatic setting in Mullah Omar Mosque with the Kandahar governor. The Turkish chief later told Pakistan that expecting “sensible behaviour” from the Taliban means “fooling ourselves.”
Now decide for yourself.
Is Pakistan the aggressor, or a state defending its people from cross-border terrorism?
Pakistan–Afghanistan border clashes are neither sudden nor unjustified.
When the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, the entire world vacated its embassies. Pakistan, which had hosted millions of Afghans for over four decades, kept its mission open and acted as a lifeline for evacuees during the chaotic withdrawal.
At the post-withdrawal UN-led conferences on Afghanistan, Pakistan was the loudest voice for unfreezing Afghanistan's $9 billion in assets. It even used regional forums like ECO to lobby for the same.
Pakistan hoped for peace and stability. Instead, the Taliban regime turned Afghanistan into a safe haven for the TTP.
Yet, despite repeated betrayals, Pakistan tried every peaceful route: religious, tribal, and official.
In July 2022, an 8-member ulema delegation led by Mufti Taqi Usmani went to Kabul to convince the Taliban and TTP to stop attacks. A few days later, a 17-member tribal jirga carried the same message.
On February 22, 2023, a high-level delegation led by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and DG ISI Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum visited Kabul to push for peace.
In July 2024, Interior Minister Naqvi led another delegation for security cooperation.
Pakistan's diplomacy was not empty words. Special Envoy Muhammad Sadiq worked to build trade ties, leading to the Early Harvest Programme (EHP), which cut tariffs on eight key agricultural items for the benefit of both sides.
Pakistan kept talking even under fire. After the deadliest clashes in years in October 2025, it accepted a Qatar-mediated ceasefire and follow-up talks in Doha and Istanbul, which failed to produce a lasting agreement. In February 2026, Saudi mediation secured the release of three Pakistani soldiers captured by Afghanistan. Even after the war began, Pakistan sat down at China-mediated talks in Ürümqi in April. Its demands were minimal and fair: designate the TTP a terrorist organisation, dismantle its infrastructure, and provide verifiable proof. Even that was too much for the Taliban regime.
But what did Pakistan get in return?
According to Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) data:
• 2021: 89 attacks
• 2022: 262 attacks
• 2023: 306 attacks
• 2024: 521 attacks
• 2025: 699 attacks, killing at least 1,034 people
• 2026 (Jan–Aug): 3,150 deaths (including about 488 security personnel)
The worst betrayal came during Pakistan's 4-day war with India in May 2025. Afghanistan sent a 40-member TTP tashkeel, including the son of a Taliban official, to attack from the western front, stabbing Pakistan in the back while it was fighting its eastern enemy.
2026 has been the deadliest year for Pakistani security forces. By mid-year alone, 3,844 total fatalities, with 1,027+ security forces martyred.
In July 2026 alone, 112 security personnel were martyred, the highest monthly toll since January 2023. That month also saw eight suicide attacks; the most in a single month in a decade. Behind every number is a soldier, a policeman, a family.
What triggered Pakistan's latest strikes? Just one week is enough to understand.
A suicide bomber struck a mosque inside a police compound in Kohat. Eight gunmen then stormed the compound, and a 20-hour battle left at least 21 dead, mostly police officers, wounding over 100.
Days later, clashes in Hangu killed six Pakistani security personnel. The attackers were the TTP and its allied groups operating from Afghan soil. At the UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar told the world that more than two dozen anti-Pakistan militant groups are present in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's patience had run out.
On September 21, Pakistan struck three militant targets in Afghanistan killing 28 terrorists. The strikes were intelligence-based, targeted, and aimed only at the terrorists being hosted in Afghanistan.
How did the Taliban regime respond?
Not by acting against the terrorists, but by escalating. Taliban forces launched eight drones toward Kohat and Torkham and shelled Pakistani border posts.

@KP_Police1 الحمدالله
Deepest gratitude to KP Police & CTD for foiling this major threat and safeguarding our lives. We honor the brave jawan who sacrificed his life to keep us safe
@AzizullahSanjar Or are you trying to give tactical ideas and cheerlead a proxy war, Sensationalizing terrorism isn't analysis
if the Afghan Taliban actually makes the blunder of escalating this into a full-scale war against the Pakistani people, it will be the last mistake they ever make.
@AzizullahSanjar@realZalmayMK The UN and other international bodies have repeatedly confirmed that terror groups like the TTP, BLA, and Al-Qaeda operate from Afghan soil even as the Taliban regime continues to deny these reports.
Did Zalmay Khalilzad draft this script for you?
