Afghan Senators Seeking Targeting of Terrorists in Pakistan

Senators welcome ‘MOAB’ bombing on ISIS strongholds in Nangarhar province.

The senators say that terrorist networks operating in Afghanistan have save sanctuaries in Pakistan, where those strongholds must be targeted.

A member of the Upper House says, “If U.S officials are honest in their counter ISIS missions, then they must target their strongholds in Quetta, Meranshah of Pakistan.”

Another member of the Upper House, Nader Baloch, voiced his concern about ISIS.  “The NUG leaders should convince U.S officials to frankly fight against ISIS.”

The senators say that U.S. has enough capability to eliminate ISIS fighters across the world including Afghanistan, if it decide to fight candidly.

Other upper House members spoke out and demanded attention to the ISIS crisis. “The government now should pay enough attention to prevent Afghanistan from being converted to another Syria.  The Afghan government must convince U.S. officials to press terrorist sponsoring states.

Discussions over intensification of counter-ISIS efforts are being done in a time when U.S national security advisor, McMaster visited Afghanistan on Saturday to explore options in counter terrorism efforts in Afghanistan.
