Afghanistan's ruling Taliban** on Thursday said that it would not allow the war-torn country's soil to be used as a launchpad to conduct armed raids in other nations.The statement came days after the Pakistani Army blamed the hardline Islamic group for providing safe havens to anti-Pakistan extremist groups, including the proscribed TTP in Afghanistan.

Taliban Vows Not to Allow Afghanistan to be Used as 'Launchpad' Against Other Nations
Islamabad has accused Kabul of working hand in glove with militants from the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP*), who have allegedly carried out a string of attacks in the neighboring country in recent months.
Afghanistan's ruling Taliban** on Thursday said that it would not allow the war-torn country's soil to be used as a launchpad to conduct armed raids in other nations.
The statement came days after the
Pakistani Army blamed the hardline Islamic group for providing safe havens to anti-Pakistan extremist groups, including the proscribed
TTP in Afghanistan. "We will not allow our soil to be used against another country and our efforts will always be for the security and stability of the region," the Islamic Emirate's Foreign Minister Ameer Muhammad Muttaqi was quoted as saying by the Afghan Foreign Ministry in a statement.
Muttaqi's statement about not allowing terrorists to operate from Afghanistan came during his meeting with Asif Durrani who serves as Pakistan's Special Representative for Afghanistan on Wednesday.
Durrani has been deployed by the Shehbaz Sharif government in Pakistan to convince the Taliban regime in Kabul to act against militant organizations who work against Islamabad's interests in the impoverished nation.
Durrani's discussions with the Afghan authorities come on the heels of the Pakistan Army's recent warning to Kabul.
Following a meeting of the Pakistani top military brass, its media arm ISPR announced that terrorist groups like the TTP were not only offered sanctuary in Afghanistan, rather the Taliban was also providing them the state-of-the-art weapons to take on Islamabad's security forces.
"The sanctuaries and liberty of action available to the terrorists of proscribed TTP and other groups of that ilk in a neighboring country and
availability of latest weapons to the terrorists were noted as major reasons impacting security of Pakistan," the ISPR noted.
Since the TTP unilaterally ended the ceasefire with the federal government in November 2022, Pakistani security agencies have held it responsible for some of the most barbaric attacks against the nation's security forces.
In January, an alleged suicide bomber linked to the TTP blew himself up in a Peshawar mosque, killing over 100, including scores of policemen.
Subsequently, the outlawed group attacked Karachi Police headquarters in February. While the attack was repelled, three paramilitary soldiers lost their lives in the ambush.
