It has conducted numerous attacks and operations in Pakistan…” UN report said.The UN Monitoring Team’s earlier report had focused on the global threat posed by Al-Qaeda, and related groups as well as the one before that had also underlined increasing cross-border attacks by TTP from the Afghan soil as a result of the reunification of the terrorist group in Afghanistan.
Earlier, TTP was responsible for the attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in which over 150 children were killed.
