ISIS uses Pakistan for attacks in Afghanistan: Afghan Defense Ministry

Rising insecurities in Pakistan have led to new verbal tensions between Kabul and Islamabad. The Pakistani army states that the TTP still uses Afghan soil for its attacks in Pakistan, while the Taliban officials deny this accusation, claiming that ISIS entered Afghanistan from Pakistan.

General Ahmad Sharif, spokesperson for the Pakistani army, accused the Taliban government during an “important” press conference on Tuesday, May 7th, of not fulfilling its commitments in the fight against terrorism.
