TTP launches 'operation' for Shariah rule

NEW DELHI: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has announced the launch of 'Al-Khandaq Operations,' a campaign aimed at establishing a comprehensive Shariah system in Pakistan.

In a statement, TTP spokesperson Mohammad Khurasani revealed that the operations will include ambush attacks, targeted strikes, guerrilla raids and martyrdom operations against the military, security agencies and their collaborators.

The TTP leadership said it has organized military units at the central and provincial levels, equipped with advanced weapons, to carry out the operations. With Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) on the offensive and Islamic State joining forces, this could pose a serious problem for Pakistan, experts say.
