Why must @ImranKhanPTI disgrace #Pakistan with his confused history?
During the war with the #Soviets, there was no #alQaeda or #Taliban. There was only #Mujahideen.
After the Soviet withdrawal & civil war, the Taliban emerged. There is no mujahideen in #Afghanistan today.

A major part of #Pakistan’s #PR problem is confused narratives driving confused perceptions.
We didn’t train the #Mujahideen alone. We had help from the #US, @CIA & #SaudiArabia.
Why does the PM forget this & place on the responsibility on Pakistan alone?

What is #Pashtun nationalism’s role in the war on terror?
All the insurgents that attacked #Pakistan post-#LalMasjid were ideological driven. Nothing to do with ethnic or linguistic roots.
It was the creation of the #TTP which kicked off mass #terror attacks in Pakistan.

And the #TTP was a conglomeration of many small insurgent groups that didn’t have the capabilities to do serious damage.
The conglomeration facilitated expedited knowledge sharing, hands-on training & mass training camps in #FATA.
This was 2006-7 until 2014-5.
