According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Afghan national killed on January 11 has been identified as Mohammad Khan Ahmad Khel.

The ISPR said that the killed Afghan national was a resident of the Biloraei area of ​​Paktia province. His body was handed over to the Afghan interim government on January 20.

The Inter-Services Public Relations said that such incidents are undeniable evidence of Afghan nationals being involved in terrorist activities in Pakistan, and it is expected that the interim Afghan government will fulfill its responsibilities.

The ISPR said that it is expected that the interim Afghan government will not allow terrorists to use its territory.

The identification of an Afghan militant engaging in armed clashes within Pakistan underscores the cross-border origins of subversive activities threatening our nation's security.

This case reinforces Pakistan's long-standing position that hostile elements, including the TTP, exploit Afghan soil to orchestrate violence on Pakistani territory.

The direct handover of the militant's body to Afghan authorities highlights the need for cooperation in addressing the shared challenge of terrorism emanating from Afghanistan.

Such incidents reveal the active participation of Afghan nationals in destabilizing Pakistan, emphasizing the urgency of addressing safe havens and support networks across the border.

The presence of Afghan citizens in these incidents highlights the regional dimension of terrorism, calling for robust international efforts to dismantle these cross-border threats.
