Peshawar, Jan 19 (NVI) In a startling development that can have serious ramifications for India and the region, the Pakistani military has facilitated establishment of a large camp for ISIS and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist outfits in a mountainous region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of the country recently.
According to inputs from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the ISIS and LeT centre has been established in the Tirah region and it will be headed by wanted terrorist Hafiz Zubair Muwahid, who is associated with both the terror outfits and serves as a liaison person with the Pakistani military, particularly its intelligence ISI.
It may be pointed out that ISIS terrorists are believed to be responsible for a number of attacks in Tajikistan, in areas bordering Afghanistan, whose regime suspects that these actions are done at the behest of Pakistani military to defame the Taliban.
For setting up the camp, the Pakistani military recently emptied Tirah Valley by directing the local inhabitants to leave, claiming that it had to launch operations against “terrorists” in the region.
Due to the military’s directive, thousands of families, including children and women, were forcibly displaced and rendered homeless in extreme weather conditions, according to a local person.
After the locals left Tirah, hundreds of ISIS terrorists, including their commander Hafiz Zubair Muwahid, moved into the mountainous and forest areas with the help of Pakistani military.
The area has since been converted into a safe haven for the ISIS terrorists, said a local Pashtun from Tirah.
The camp will possibly serve as a centre for training and brainwashing by ISIS and LeT terrorist outfits.
Locals see the Pakistan Army’s “fictitious” military action in Tirah as a well-designed plan to enable resurgence of ISIS and LeT with the ultimate objective of causing hurt to Afghanistan and India. (NVI)
