Pakistan Replaces Terror Group with LeT for India Operations
The Pakistani military is reportedly swapping one terrorist group, the TTP, for others, mainly LeT and Hizbul Mujahideen, in a specific area.
This is happening in a region near the border with Afghanistan, where the military is launching operations.
The goal seems to be to help LeT set up training and regrouping bases, likely to prepare for actions against India.
This move involves clearing out the TTP and potentially creating new hubs for terrorist activities.
The TTP and LeT have clashed in the past, highlighting the strategic shifts and priorities within Pakistan's intelligence operations.
Pakistani military is replacing TTP with LeT and Hizbul Mujahideen in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The operation aims to facilitate LeT training and regrouping.
The military has conducted airstrikes in the region, with civilian casualties reported.
The shift reflects Pakistan's strategy of supporting 'good terrorism' while eliminating 'bad terrorism'.
LeT is constructing a new training center expected to be complete by December 2025.
