CRIME AND COURT
RAWALPINDI: Security forces repelled an attack on Wana Cadet College in South Waziristan on Monday, killing two terrorists and trapping three others inside the compound, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
The attackers attempted to break through the main entrance by detonating an explosives-laden vehicle at the college gate in the border district of South Waziristan. Troops stationed in the area responded quickly, neutralising two assailants. Three others entered the facility but were confined to the administrative block, where clearance operations were underway.
ISPR stated that the perpetrators were affiliated with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a group Pakistan accuses of operating from Afghan territory with external backing — allegations denied by both Kabul and New Delhi.
According to the ISPR statement, the terrorists inside the college were in communication with handlers across the border. The military described the incident as evidence contradicting the Afghan Taliban administration’s repeated claims that no anti-Pakistan groups are using Afghan soil.
Pakistan, the statement noted, “reserves the right to respond against terrorists and their leadership present in Afghanistan.”
While the TTP publicly distanced itself from the incident, Afghan and Indian officials had not issued comments at the time of reporting.
ISPR added that the ongoing clearance operation aimed to eliminate the remaining terrorists involved in the attack.
Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have deteriorated amid a sharp rise in cross-border militant activity, particularly from the TTP, which Pakistan identifies as closely aligned with the Afghan Taliban despite operating separately.
