The Federal Ministry of Interior on January 2 informed the Senate (upper house of parliament) that the continuous influx of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) cadres in significant numbers, with recruitment, training and placing of suicide bombers, in the merged Districts [Erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)] of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is “a cause of concern”, reports Dawn. The Interior Ministry, in a written response during question hour, highlighted the TTP’s reorganisation and operational expansion during the peace talks in 2022, which has significantly increased its militant activities. “It has given significant rise to its activities and is seeking the support of other militant groups to increase strength and capabilities. It is mostly concentrated in KP, especially merged districts, with footprints in Balochistan and trying to activate its network in the country,” Ministry said. “The arrival of tashkeels of TTP in significant numbers continue in merged districts along with recruitment, training and placing of suicide bombers is a cause of concern,” the Ministry added. The Interior Ministry said Daesh (Islamic State) was also trying to establish a foothold in Pakistan and resorted to terrorist activities against Shias and religious minority communities to ignite sectarian strife. It said fencing along the western borders of Pakistan had largely been completed to further strengthen the state mechanism of curbing the illegal movement from across the border. However, it pointed out that the two organisations, particularly the TTP, continued to sabotage the fence. The Interior Ministry said data of 1.45 million registered refugees was updated and expanded through the issuance of smart identity cards. “The cards contain basic information, including biometric data, and are compatible with the local systems,” it said. It said the rationale for updating and documenting data was to strictly monitor individuals involved in criminal and terrorist activities. The Senate was also informed that more than 500,000 illegal immigrants have been repatriated so far under the Government’s deportation drive against illegal aliens. “Around 1.7 million illegal aliens are unlawfully living in the country, the majority of whom are Afghans. They are living without any legal documentation necessary for staying in the country,” the Ministry added. It said 541,210 people had been sent back after the cabinet’s approval of the deportation plan for illegal residents. Besides, close to 1.15m were still residing in the country, the Ministry said, adding that efforts were underway to identify and deport the remaining people. 271,985 people were repatriated via Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 159,161 through Balochistan.

According to the Pak Institute for Peace Studies’ Pakistan (PIPS) security report for 2023, the banned outfits like the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), and Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) accounted for over 82 per cent of terrorism-related deaths and conducted 78 per cent of terrorist attacks recorded in 2023, reports Dawn. The report said militants’ intensifying attacks indicate that the TTP and its affiliates will continue to resort to an intensified terrorism onslaught with a view to ‘force’ Pakistan to reinstate the process of dialogue. The PIPS report highlights Pakistan’s inadequate response to the rising terrorism and militancy challenge, exacerbated by negotiation attempts with the TTP and waning political focus due to ongoing crises. Escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, fuelled by issues like TTP and Afghan refugees, demand a comprehensive and sustainable counterterrorism strategy, report added. The report correlates a surge in terrorist violence with the Taliban’s ascendancy in Afghanistan, noting the Afghan Taliban’s inability or unwillingness to control TTP’s cross-border activities. In 2023, security and law enforcement agencies intensified anti-militant kinetic actions with 129 operational strikes, compared to 87 in 2022, resulting in 425 deaths and 51 injuries. Of these strikes, 97 occurred in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 28 in Balochistan, three in Punjab, and one in Karachi, Sindh. A total of 306 terrorist attacks took place in Pakistan in the year — including 23 suicide bombings — which killed 693 people (330 security personnel, 260 civilians, and 103 militants) and injured 1,124 others. These attacks marked an increase of 17pc from the year before, and the number of people killed in these attacks also represented an increase of 65pc from those killed in similar attacks during the previous year. That comparative upsurge of 17 per cent in terrorist violence was contributed by an increase in the number of attacks reported from all four provinces. Compared to 2022, the frequency of terrorist incidents in the Balochistan province increased by 39 per cent, in KP by 3 per cent, in Sindh by 87 per cent and in Punjab by 100 per cent.

Islamic State (IS) threat is increasing with growing radicalisation in India and terror group’s entry into the war theatre in West Asia is dangerous for Indian youth, top intelligence sources stated on January 5, reports news18.com. India has a huge number of IS sympathisers and the neighbourhood has seen many attacks by operatives linked to the group like in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, they said, adding that such attacks are ongoing and continuous in these countries. “India also faces a strong ISIS threat but due to continuous interventions we have been able to avert these attacks so far,” said an unnamed official. “Though we have not seen major ISIS cadres in India, we can’t rule it out.” “But we have seen the Coimbatore attack by Jamesha Mubeen who was influenced by Sri Lanka ISIS attacker Zehran Hashim in 2019,” an official said. “He was not successful, but he could have killed 50 people easily. Mangaluru attempt by Shariq who wanted to create a blast through a pressure cooker to attack Kadri Temple could have also killed around 20 people.”

According to intelligence sources, Maldives is not only a hub of Islamic State (IS) operatives but also of Pakistan-based terror groups and narcotics smugglers as well, news18.com reports on January 9. Sources stated that a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) base was also identified in Maldives in the past. The Maldives is facing a major problem from radical Islamic fundamentalists who are funding the local governments with the involvement of some big business houses. These business houses have been drawn towards China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the sources said. Sources said that many Lashkar leaders have settled in the Maldives to expand their global activities. Key Islamic State-Khorasan Province (IS-KP) operative Umar Nisar Bhat alias Qasim Khorasani who was arrested in 2021 by agencies said in his confession that he was in regular touch with the Bangladesh and Maldives-based Islamic Ameer (chief), and he could have used that to expand terrorist propaganda networks.

Islamic State (IS) sympathiser from India, Mehdi Mosroor Biswas, who gained notoriety as a propagandist on social media for the terrorist outfit in 2014, was convicted on January 16, by a Bengaluru court on charges of terrorism, waging war against an Asiatic ally and promoting enmity, reports The Indian Express. Biswas, who went by the name @shamiwitness on X (formerly Twitter), used the social media handle to sympathise with the outfit during the rise of the IS in Syria in 2014. Biswas, now 34, was arrested when he was 24-year-old in Bengaluru on December 13, 2014. His arrest came after the UK’s Channel 4 revealed that he was behind the @shamiwitness handle that was helping British IS recruits join ISIS (then Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) in Syria. He has also been convicted under Section 125 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for attempting to wage a war against an “Asiatic Power in alliance or at peace with the Government of India” which also entails seven years in prison and under IPC Sections 153 A for promoting enmity between groups and 505 for statements conducing to public mischief. The court has posted the hearing on sentencing in the case to January 19, 2024.
