The turbulent ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan

Even diplomacy has failed to resolve the acrimonious relations that have characterised Islamabad’s ties with Kabul.

On June 27, terrorists believed to belong to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) faction attacked the Pakistan Rangers headquarters in Karachi, where three paramilitary troops were killed. The attackers—around nine of them—were eliminated except one, who was reportedly captured alive. The group also claimed responsibility for the attack.
