The brazen action reflected Pakistan’s inability to exercise control over the remote region along the border with Afghanistan
Several Pakistani Taliban detainees overpowered their guards at a counterterrorism centre in northwestern Pakistan overnight, snatching police weapons, taking hostages and seizing control of the facility, officials said Monday.
The brazen action reflected the government’s inability to exercise control over the remote region along the border with Afghanistan. The Pakistani Taliban are a separate group but also allied with the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in the neighbouring country last year as U.S. and NATO troops were in the final stages of their pullout from Afghanistan.
Authorities enlisted the help of several relatives of the Taliban insurgents in the negotiations, several security officials told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters. Khurasani said the TTP fighters were demanding safe passage to North or South Waziristan. Those areas were a Taliban stronghold until a wave of military offensives over the past years declared the region cleared of insurgents.
