The Pakistani Taliban has denied being involved in the recent attack on a convoy of foreign ambassadors in the restive northwest region of the country. The attack took place as the convoy was traveling to the Afghan border area, where they were set to inspect development projects. The group released a statement stating that they were not responsible for the attack and condemned the violence.
The convoy was reportedly ambushed by militants using rocket-propelled grenades and firearms, resulting in the death of three people and injuring several others. Among the casualties were the ambassador of Norway and the ambassador of the Philippines. The attack has raised concerns about the security situation in the region and the safety of foreign diplomats traveling through the area.
The Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has been responsible for numerous attacks and acts of violence in the country in the past. The group is known for its radical ideologies and has been linked to several high-profile attacks, including the infamous 2014 attack on a school in Peshawar that left over 140 people dead, mostly children.
The denial of involvement in this recent attack by the Pakistani Taliban comes as a surprise to many, as the group has a history of targeting foreigners and foreign interests in the region. The incident has prompted authorities to launch an investigation into the attack and step up security measures in the area.
The Pakistani government has condemned the attack and vowed to take action against those responsible for the violence. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced by Pakistan and the region as a whole.
