Pakistan’s Asif says terrorist training camps are based in Afghanistan

Khawaja Mohammad Asif, the Minister of Defense of Pakistan, has once again said that terrorism in Pakistan originates from Afghanistan and that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have training camps and shelter in the country.

He said however that Islamabad should have a comprehensive dialogue with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA).

However, the IEA has repeatedly denied these allegations and says they will not allow any militant group to pose a threat to another country from Afghanistan.
