IEA arrests suspects involved in terror attacks, says Pakistan’s FM
Interim Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani said on Wednesday that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) had arrested some suspects in connection with recent terror attacks in the neighboring country.
Jilani said the IEA had informed authorities in Islamabad about the arrests. However he did not disclose any further details. The IEA has also not yet commented.
Jilani shared this in response to a question about cross-border terrorism while speaking to reporters at the Foreign Office, Dawn News reported.
This comes amid ongoing claims by Pakistan that militants, especially the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), plan attacks from Afghanistan. However the IEA has repeatedly denied this and said it will not allow any individual or group to attack another country using Afghanistan’s soil.
