Islamabad, Apr 11 (PTI) Amid a surge in attacks by the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the banned militant group was still using Afghan soil to carry out attacks inside the country, a media report said on Tuesday.
Asif expressed his concern at the TTP using neighbouring Afghanistan for terrorism in an interview with the Voice of America on Monday, the Dawn newspaper reported.
“TTP is using (the) Afghan soil even today for attacks in our country, especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa," the minister said, adding that Pakistan enjoys good ties with the interim Taliban government.
