Pakistani Taliban Movement has issued new directives to its armed fighters, instructing them to target and destroy the homes of Pakistani security personnel in various areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by any means possible.
In a statement, the Movement’s spokesperson, Mohammad Khurasani, claimed that over the past few days, Pakistani army and police forces have demolished the homes of their fighters in Lakki Marwat, Karak, Bannu, North Waziristan, Upper Dir, and other areas. He alleged that they also detained innocent family members, including women, children, relatives, and elderly elders.
In retaliation, Pakistani Taliban Movement has ordered its fighters stationed in those areas to initiate attacks on the homes of security personnel. “Because this hired and oppressive army, along with their intelligence agencies and puppet operatives, understands no language of justice or dialogue,” Khurasani stated.
Additionally, the Pakistani Taliban Movement has directed its forces to specifically target and assassinate retired security personnel, soldiers and officials, who were involved in operations, abuses, or violence during their service, regardless of their current status.
