Border Security Personnel keep vigil at the Attari- Wagah border

(VOVworld) – A new branch of the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Ahrar, threatened this week to conduct attacks targeting India. The group has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack at a Pakistani check post near the Wagah border that killed 61 people and injured 200. A spokesperson for the group, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said India would be the target of upcoming attacks, provoking fears of terrorism in India. India’s security agencies said they are taking the threat “very seriously” and are concerned about possible coordination between terrorist groups like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
