Pakistan summons Afghan envoy, issues demarche over North Waziristan attack

Islamabad demands full investigation and decisive action against perpetrators and facilitators of terrorist attacks

Pakistan condemned in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attack carried out by Khawarij belonging to the Gul Bahadur Group on a Pakistani military camp in North Waziristan, which resulted in the martyrdom of four soldiers, stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"To convey our strong demarche, the Afghan Deputy Head of Mission was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," it added.

The ministry conveyed 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 Pakistan military and civilian population along the Pakistan-Afghan border and in adjoining areas.

It was emphasised that the permissive environment enjoyed by the FAK/TTP in Afghanistan belies Afghanistan’s international commitments as well as to Pakistan, that it would not allow its soil to be used against any other country, including Pakistan.
