PAKISTAN'S TERRORISM ISSUE
Armed attacks in Pakistan are particularly concentrated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces, which border Afghanistan. Armed groups claiming to defend the rights of Pashtun and Baloch ethnic groups in both provinces are carrying out attacks against Pakistani security forces and civilians.
Islamabad claims that the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is based in Afghanistan and organizes its attacks from there, while the Afghan administration denies these allegations. In Balochistan, the attacks of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) are prominent. The BLA seeks the separation of Balochistan province from Pakistan and demands that the Baloch people govern this region.
