UN report reveals TTP set up new base in K-P

The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) established a new base in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in mid-2023, revealed a new UN report, which sheds light on close ties between not only the TTP and the Afghan Taliban but also the anti-Pakistani groups and al Qaeda.

The 33rd report compiled by the UN Monitoring Team was submitted to the UN Security Council last week providing details about the presence of terrorist organisations in Afghanistan and their linkage with the Kabul regime.

“A new TTP base was established in mid-2023 in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, where 66 TTP individuals trained as suicide bombers,” the 23-page report read.

It was important to highlight that the new base was established merely months after Pakistan allowed hundreds of TTP terrorists to return as part of the confidence-building measure.
