Subject
Counterterrorism policy and operations in Pakistan.
Significance
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a Sunni terrorist group that splintered from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in 2014, has claimed several deadly terrorist attacks in recent months. This spate of violence has cast a spotlight on Pakistan’s security strategies.
Impacts
Relatively 'soft' state and civilian targets such as lower courts, media offices and religious sites face the greatest security threat.
Pakistan will struggle to persuade Beijing that Chinese-financed infrastructure projects are safe.
India-Pakistan ties will continue to fray.
