Terrorism & Insurgency
Pakistani separatist groups likely to be increasingly active despite sustained decline in nationwide NSAG attacks since 2014

Key PointsData gathered by Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre (JTIC) show that there were 264 attacks across the country last year, a year-on-year decrease of 28%.The data underlines that Islamist militant groups continue to struggle to reorganise following military operations against their strongholds in 2014, reducing the frequency and capability of their attacks.Overall, we expect the terrorism risk to airports, ports, hotels, infrastructure and government installations to reduce further over the coming year, however there is an increasing risk of separatists staging suicide assaults or IED attacks against restaurants and hotels frequented by Chinese nationals in Balochistan and Sindh.Event
Non-state armed group (NSAG) activity continued to decline for a fourth consecutive year in Pakistan over 2018.
Data gathered by Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre (JTIC) show that there were 264 attacks across the country last year, a year-on-year decrease of 28%. A total of 660 people – including attackers – were killed in these incidents, representing a decline of 29% in nationwide terrorism-related fatalities in 2018 compared with 2017. Attacks were largely targeted against security forces and religious minorities, mostly involving the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and lone suicide bombings.
The decline of NSAG activity in Pakistan is rooted in the Pakistani military’s counter-terrorism operations against militant strongholds in the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in 2014; since then, overall attacks have declined by 77% in the country. Attacks also declined on a regional level, including in all four of the country’s provinces; Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. In Punjab, NSAG activity nearly halved over 2018. Balochistan, however, experienced the most attacks with 99 attacks last year, compared with 123 in 2017. As a result of the notable improvement in the security situation in FATA, the Pakistani federal government began transitioning control of the territory to the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in May 2018.

@WebMaster @Horus @The Eagle please consider the bold part and notice how Jane's is differentiating between terrorists and separatists. Does it observe the same distinction when discussing security in India?

Pak-Saudi joint military panel vows to boost defence cooperation
ISLAMABAD: The fifth meeting of the Joint Military Cooperation Committee (JMCC) of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday expressed satisfaction over bilateral defence cooperation and pledged to intensify it.
The meeting was co-chaired by Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Gen Zubair Mahmood Hayat and Saudi Chief of General Staff Gen Fayyadh Bin Hamid Al Ruwaili.
The 5th JMCC was held after nearly two and a half years. It last met in Saudi Arabia in June 2016.
“Regional security situation, bilateral military engagements and training cooperation came under discussion,” the ISPR said.
A military source said the two sides held extensive discussions on all aspects of their military relations, including training, exercises and supply of defence equipment.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have very strong military ties. This cooperation is based on bilateral security cooperation agreement of 1982, under which Pakistan committed to assisting the kingdom in training and defence production capabilities. Pakistan in February last year agreed to deploy more soldiers “on training and advice mission”.
These troops were in addition to the nearly 1,600 that were already deployed there. The size of fresh deployment was never disclosed.
The decision to deploy extra troops helped ease strains in ties caused by Pakistan’s refusal to contribute troops for Yemen offensive against Houthis.
Former army chief Gen Raheel Sharif is, meanwhile, leading the coalition of militaries of Muslim countries that were put together by Saudi Arabia.
GHQ: Gen Ruwaili later called on Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa at the General Headquarters.
“Geo-strategic environment and matters related to bilateral defence cooperation were discussed,” the ISPR said.
“The Saudi CGS thanked Pakistan Army for assistance provided by Pakistan Army especially towards training of Royal Saudi Army both at Pakistan as well as at KSA through bilateral training cooperation. He acknowledged high standards of professionalism of the Pakistan Army,” the ISPR further said.
Gen Bajwa said that the Pakistan Army took the capacity building of Saudi troops as its responsibility.
Gen Ruwaili was presented Guard of Honour on his arrival at the GHQ and he also laid a floral wreath at Yadgar-i-Shuhada.
Gen Ruwaili also visited Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra.
He was awarded Nishan-i-Imtiaz (Military).
