Although Pakistan's army is operating against Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), there is a segment within the Army that has been pro-TTP. In a Pakistan radio interview, the TTP spokesman acknowledged that it receives support from some "people within the Pakistani Army" who are "against these oppressive and anti-religion policies".

The above statement stands in direct contradiction to DG ISPR & Pakistan Foreign Minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s insinuations of India’s hand in fomenting trouble through TTP.

TTP claimed responsibility for attacks on security forces in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa & Balochistan that took place near Afghan border in past three days. Nine security personnel, including an Officer - Capt Faheem, were killed & eight others injured in ambushes and bomb attacks in Zhob area of Balochistan, North Waziristan tribal district and Bajaur tribal district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday and Tuesday.

TTP operates from its bases & launchpads in Afghanistan close to Af-Pak border, a strong hold of  Afghan Taliban. If TTP is operating freely from that area, it not only demonstrates the support it enjoys from Afghan Taliban, but it also vindicates the support being provided by Pakistan army to TTP, given the bonhomie between Pakistan Army & Afghan Taliban.
