The most recent development in the ongoing issue of terrorism originating from Afghan soil involves Pakistan's strong condemnation and call for action at a United Nations Security Council meeting. According to Aaj TV Latest, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar, expressed 'deep concern' over the use of Afghan territory by terrorist groups such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and ISIS, which have been linked to recent attacks in Pakistan resulting in the deaths of 80 civilians. Iftikhar emphasized that 'Afghan soil should not be used for terrorism against any country,' urging the Afghan interim government to prevent terrorist activities and fulfill its counter-terrorism commitments.
