Who was Abdul Rahman?
PakPulse Intel identified Abdul Rehman as Razaullah Nizami, alias Abu Saifullah Nizami, a 48-year-old former commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba. He was targeted and killed in Matli city, District Badin (Sindh) on May 18, near a local chowk, shortly after leaving his house.
According to sources, Abu Saifullah had been instructed by the organization to restrict his movements and go into hiding. His security was also increased. Despite these precautions, unidentified armed assailants shot him dead as he stepped out of his home.
Razaullah Nizami had been actively involved in the Kashmir freedom struggle for many years. Upon returning from Kashmir, he was honored with the title “Ghazi Abu Saifullah” and later worked as a social worker, engaging in welfare activities. Several members of PMML, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s political wing, confirmed his killing.
It is important to note that the “Abu Saifullah” mentioned by Indian media in connection with the Pahalgam attack was not the same individual.

Mounting warnings from the United Nations, Iran, and Pakistan have placed the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) at the center of international security concerns, amid fears that battle-hardened fighters from Syria could redeploy to Afghanistan. The Taliban, however, have categorically rejected these allegations, calling them unfounded.
On 18 August, the UN Secretary-General’s biannual report to the Security Council identified ISKP as one of the gravest security challenges in Afghanistan and Central Asia. The report estimated the group’s strength at around 2,000 fighters under the leadership of Sanaullah Ghafari, noting that it has intensified attacks on Shia communities, Afghanistan’s de facto authorities, and foreign nationals. Recruitment campaigns have also expanded into Central Asia and the North Caucasus, underscoring ISKP’s regional ambitions.
Significantly, the report warned that militants who fought in the December 2024 campaign against the former Syrian government may shift to Afghanistan, a move that could both strengthen ISKP’s ranks and project instability across Central Asia. UN analysts cautioned that the group’s resilience, sectarian agenda, and ability to attract foreign recruits remain persistent challenges despite sustained global counter-terrorism pressure.
Four days later, on 22 August, Iran’s Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, reiterated those concerns in a Security Council debate on Syria, describing the transfer of militants from Syria to Afghanistan as a “dangerous development” that poses a direct threat to neighboring countries and wider regional stability. He stressed that groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda continue to destabilize Syria, warning that their relocation would compound the threat in Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s envoy echoed the warning, arguing that militant factions operating under Taliban rule already endanger Islamabad’s security and regional peace.
The Taliban, however, have rejected these concerns outright. Spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid dismissed the Security Council’s assessments, stating:
Despite these denials, ISKP has continued to stage attacks. In its most recent Al-Naba weekly bulletin, the group claimed responsibility for three August operations — two in Nangarhar province and one in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Instead of making baseless claims, let us recognize Afghanistan’s existing security and progress as a valuable opportunity and work together to support it.”
Despite these denials, ISKP has continued to stage attacks. In its most recent Al-Naba weekly bulletin, the group claimed responsibility for three August operations — two in Nangarhar province and one in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has released a statement through its spokesperson, Muhammad Khorasani, trying dismissing Pakistan’s repeated assertions that the group’s fighters cross into the country from Afghanistan to conduct attacks.
According to the group, despite Pakistan’s extensive security infrastructure along the 2,700 km Durand Line which they called a "fictitious"—including fencing, checkpoints every 200–300 meters, surveillance cameras, sensor systems, automated lights, patrols, large military camps, and over 800 drones—it is “not possible” for their fighters to use Afghan territory for operations inside Pakistan.
The group alleges that such accusations are intended to mislead the international community and secure military and political backing, while masking the state’s internal security challenges.
TTP also cited local political leaders who reportedly acknowledged that, in some areas of Dera, their influence is visible during nighttime, while police stations and checkpoints are often empty. They further claimed that recent tribal Jirgas, such as one by the Qambar Khel clan of the Afridi tribe, were held on Pakistani soil and not across the border.
In its statement, the group asserted that it has an established presence across 36 districts—from Gilgit-Baltistan to Balochistan, Punjab, Karachi, and Hazara—with many of its members being local recruits. They argued that recruitment stems from grievances linked to state policies and security force actions.
Calling on the United Nations and international actors, TTP demanded an impartial investigation into Pakistan’s claims, accusing authorities of using counterterrorism narratives to justify military operations, demolitions, and enforced disappearances, particularly targeting Pashtun and Baloch communities.
The group further insisted that it emerged in response to what it describes as “state oppression,” and that its activities are sustained entirely from within Pakistan, without the need for external bases.

Well, anyone who thinks TTP’s leadership and its Shura aren’t based in Afghanistan—or that Pakistan can actually secure the entire 2,700 km Durand Line across all that rugged mountainous terrain—is kind of delusional. That said, it’s also true that many TTP fighters are Afghan nationals. The timing of this statement is pretty ironic, coming right as Afghanistan is repatriating the bodies of its citizens who were part of TTP taskheel and were killed in Zhob :)
