TERROR ISSUE IN PAKISTAN Armed attacks in Pakistan are particularly concentrated in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces, which share a border with Afghanistan. Armed groups claiming to defend the rights of the Pashtun and Baloch ethnic groups in both provinces carry out attacks against Pakistan security forces and civilians. Islamabad alleges that the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) is based in Afghanistan and organizes its attacks from there, while the Afghan government denies these claims. In Balochistan, the attacks of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) are prominent. BLA advocates for the separation of Balochistan province from Pakistan and for the Baloch people to govern this region.
