In a recent speech to members of Afghanistan's security forces, Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, a spokesperson for the supreme leader of Afghanistan, warned Taliban members against carrying out attacks abroad. He emphasized that fighting outside of Afghanistan is not religiously sanctioned jihad but rather war, which goes against the stance of Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.

Mujahid stated that if anyone leaves Afghanistan for the purpose of jihad, it will not be considered jihad, but rather war. These remarks come after Pakistan claimed that Afghan citizens were involved in a series of suicide attacks in their country.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif did not directly accuse Afghanistan's Taliban government of knowingly allowing attacks from its soil, but he did suggest that Pakistani militants were operating from sanctuaries in Afghanistan. Over the past two years, Pakistan has experienced an increase in militant attacks on its western border regions, attributed to both the Afghan Taliban and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as well as rival groups.

The TTP, formed in 2007 by Pakistani militants who split from the Afghan Taliban, has been focusing its fight on Islamabad for supporting the US invasion of Afghanistan. They have carried out numerous bombings and attacks throughout Pakistan.

However, the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan maintain that they do not allow armed groups to use their country as a base to plot against other nations. General Asim Munir, the head of the Pakistani Army, recently issued a warning to the Taliban-led government in Kabul, stating that Pakistan would respond effectively if the militants who launch attacks in Pakistan are harbored in Afghanistan.

This statement came after two separate militant attacks in Balochistan Province resulted in the deaths of 12 Pakistani soldiers. Munir expressed serious concerns about the safe havens and freedom of action available to the TTP in Afghanistan. The Pakistani Army chief expects the Afghan Taliban to fulfill their promises from a 2020 agreement with the United States, which aimed to prevent terrorist groups from using Afghanistan as a base for attacks.

Munir also claimed that Afghan nationals were involved in recent acts of terrorism in Pakistan, although he did not provide further details. The Taliban-led government in Kabul has previously denied Pakistan's accusations of harboring militants responsible for cross-border attacks.

It remains to be seen how these developments will affect the security situation in the region and the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The issue of cross-border terrorism continues to be a point of contention between the two countries, and both sides will need to cooperate in order to ensure stability and peace in the region.
