Those who've fought the war after 2001, those who had seen the happenings back then can exactly tell how Al-Qaeda tried to turn Pakistan into Afghanistan after they were expelled from Afg and took shelter in Pak's tribal areas. Not only shelter by Al-Qaeda started attacks on SFs.
Remember this picture in which PTM ladies Bushra Gohar, Gulalai Ismail & Ismat Shahjehan can be seen sitting in the house of most wanted TTP terrorist Shariatullah alias Huzaifa at Khaisur, Waziristan?
PTM ladies visited house of TTP terrorist Shariat Ullah alias Huzaifa responsible for IED blasts on security forces, target killing of Malik of the area Malik Matorkey, killing of MPCL employee Zahid and his 3 colleagues and various other terrorist activities.
Update:
Terrorist Shariatullah alias Huzaifa of TTP has been "fixed" few days back by Pakistan Army during an IBO near Khaisur, North Waziristan. ⚡
