Pakistan's bloody week: Who is really to blame?

[YeBeWarned]

When the articles cites "many in the country"

How many?
What percentage
What poll
What survey

All contrived bias and, contrary to the self congratulatory posts by those accross the border on this the article is nothing but hollow

I literally Stopped reading after " many in Pakistan don't buy the argument that India and Afghanistan is behind all ". The writer has no idea what Pakistani believe , things are never been any Clear who is behind all un-rest in Pakistan ..
This writer has no idea what he is talking about , just a feel good Article for Indians ..

 

[Hell hound]

we the people of Pakistan are the one who are responsible for it.it is us who paved the way for these terrorists to establish their breeding ground in our own land by filling its environment with so much hate and intolerance that every group here is up to each other's throat and is willing to take any step necessary to harm the other.even if it requires the abutment of the terrorism against each other. general population is just casualties of war for these groups.

while most people like to point finger at the foreign financiers of these groups but they fail to understand that what this funding is doing is only amplifying damage that these groups can cause but the will to harm the country and it's citizens isn't coming from the funding it was always there in their hearts and minds.
no matter how hard we try we will never see the end of this war until we end its root cause.hate and intolerance
why does it concern you what other guy is doing unless it is harming you in some way let him do it.

lolz been watchign too many conspiracy videos have we ?? :p

Why do you say that? A tad irrelevant, boy.

talking about genetics....you are south asian..same genes as indians ....highly intellectual pakistani person in uk..

Tsk.. now I have to school you on your own country vs one of mine (I have multiple passports). How many Punjabis in Pakistan vs India? 40% population in Pakistan, 2% in India... Sindhi 11% Pak, <0.5% Ind. So where's this "same" genes you speak of?

I'm also not in the UK.

ppl tend to talk BS when they get mad...

u mad bruh ?

Is this your confession to me? You're talking BS, not me.

I merely brought to everyone's attention that the site is a little over crowded with irrelevant, wannabe RAW agents, trying to push Indian propaganda.

Now... don't quote me any more.

Terrorism & Insurgency
Uptick in jihadi attacks in Pakistan indicates militant efforts to reorganise and increase frequency of mass casualty attacks

Key Points

• Attacks in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the last week suggest that militant groups targeting Pakistan are seeking to reorganise and co-ordinate attacks.
• Security forces, religious minorities (Shias, Christians, and Hindus), the judiciary, civil society activists, and Sufis are most at risk of primarily suicide IED attacks over the next six months.
• While it is unlikely that the increased frequency of attacks will emerge as a sustained trend, mutual mistrust with Afghanistan - where Pakistani militant groups are mainly based - is likely to impede a comprehensive improvement in Pakistan's security environment.

EVENT

Four separate attacks by jihadi militants from 14-16 February in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa killed more than 100 people combined and wounded hundreds of others.

Four separate attacks by jihadi militants from 13-16 February in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa killed more than 100 people combined and wounded hundreds of others.

The incidents involved the targeting of security forces, public protests, the judiciary, and Sufi shrines using suicide bombers exclusively - a largely established attack pattern and tactic for Pakistani militants. However, the concentration of the incidents over a short amount of time has in particular brought to the fore questions about the sustainability of Pakistan's downward trend in militancy.

Since counter-insurgency operations were launched in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in 2014, data gathered by IHS Markit confirms a declining frequency of attacks across the country since then, with overall attacks falling by 42% in 2015 and 38% in 2016.

The military response to the attacks last week has been characteristically robust. More than 100 suspected militants were killed in counter-insurgency operations over the weekend, according to the military's public relations wing, the Inter Services Public Relations. Moreover, the military also announced the indefinite closure of the border with Afghanistan, following further public criticism of the Afghan government's perceived reluctance to crack down on Pakistani militants on the Afghan side of the border.
