In Pakistan, terrorists kidnapped a senior army officer from near his house in Dera Ismail Khan. According to Pakistani website Mashal Radio, the name of the kidnapped army officer is Lieutenant Colonel Khalid. Along with him, the terrorists also took away his two brothers Asif and Fahad and a nephew Abraham. The officer had gone to offer soil in the funeral after the death of his father. Khalid and his brother were in a mosque and were meeting people. Then the terrorists came and kidnapped them at gunpoint. According to the report, one of the officer’s brothers who were kidnapped is an officer in the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board Office and the other is an officer in the National Database and Registration Authority. All three officer brothers had come to Kulachi Tehsil on Tuesday itself. TTP took responsibility
According to Dawn’s report, Kulachi police has confirmed the incident. However, the Pakistan Army has neither confirmed nor denied it. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has taken responsibility for the kidnapping of the Pakistani officer and his brother-nephew. In a message sent to Mashal Radio, TTP said that the kidnapped people have been kept in safe places. They did not reveal the reason for kidnapping the army officer. The terrorist organization said that they will soon give more information about this. The Pakistani Army launched an operation against TTP in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa last week. 25 terrorists including a top terrorist commander were killed in this. 4 soldiers of the Pakistani Army were also killed in this. Some reports have raised the suspicion that TTP has kidnapped the army officer to take revenge for this. What is TTP
In 2007, many terrorist groups came together and together they formed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. TTP is also known as Pakistan Taliban. In August 2008, the Pakistani government banned TTP. When the US Army ousted the Taliban from power in Afghanistan in October 2001, many terrorists fled and settled in Pakistan. After this, the Pakistani Army started an operation against these terrorists. During this time, the Pakistan Army freed the Lal Masjid in Islamabad from the clutches of a radical preacher terrorist. After this incident, the Pakistani Army started facing opposition in the Swat Valley. Due to this, many rebel groups started emerging in the tribal areas. After this, in December 2007, 13 groups under the leadership of Baitullah Mehsud decided to join a movement. The organization was named Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Malala Yousafzai was attacked by TTP
Since 2009, Pakistan Taliban has taken responsibility for many dangerous attacks. These include the attack on the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad in 2008 and the Army Headquarters in 2009. In 2012, TTP also attacked Malala Yousafzai. TTP shot Malala in the head. TTP called Malala Yousafzai a ‘Western-minded girl’. After this, TTP also opened fire at an army school in Peshawar in 2014. At least 150 people were killed in this attack, including 131 children. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is considered the most dangerous among all the terrorist organizations that have come into existence so far in Pakistan, which is called the factory of terrorism. The special thing is that this organization has thousands of supporters in the Pakistan Army and this is the biggest threat to Pakistan.
