80% of Suicide Bombers in Pakistan Are Afghan Nationals: DG ISPR

News Desk
ISLAMABAD: In a stark security revelation, Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) has disclosed that approximately 80 percent of the suicide bombers executing attacks within Pakistan are Afghan nationals.
The military spokesperson highlighted the direct involvement of foreign elements in destabilizing the country’s internal peace and orchestrating violent campaigns against security forces and civilians.
Addressing a comprehensive press briefing on national security, the military’s top spokesperson presented undeniable evidence regarding cross-border terrorism.
He emphasized that despite repeated diplomatic engagements and formal demarches issued to the interim Afghan government, terrorist sanctuaries operating on Afghan soil continue to pose a severe and persistent threat to Pakistan’s territorial integrity and public safety.
This alarming statistic underscores the mounting challenges faced by Pakistan’s security apparatus in curbing militant infiltration along the porous western frontier. The revelation is expected to significantly influence Islamabad’s diplomatic posture and counter-terrorism strategies, particularly regarding the deportation of illegal foreign nationals and the tightening of border management protocols to prevent further bloodshed.
In the wake of these findings, federal authorities are slated to convene high-level security reviews to fortify domestic intelligence-sharing and accelerate kinetic operations against remnants of terrorist networks.
Law enforcement agencies have been placed on high alert nationwide, with enhanced surveillance measures deployed around critical infrastructure and sensitive public spaces to preempt further hostile designs.
