The meeting is being held to review the overall security situation with particular reference to Friday’s terrorist attack on Pakistan Air Force (PAF) camp in Badaber and the sharing of evidence with Afghanistan in relation to the brazen attack which killed 29 people.
The meeting is also discussing border management strategy and effective implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) in order to curb terrorism.
Pakistan Army spokesman had earlier maintained that the attack on the PAF base was planned and controlled from Afghanistan.
Later, Adviser to Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz talking to a private TV channel said that initial investigation into the attack on PAF camp near Peshawar had proved terrorists’ contacts within Afghanistan, Dawn newspaper reported. The evidence would be shared with Afghan authorities, he said.
On the other hand, the Afghan government in a statement strongly rejected as baseless the claims that the attack on PAF camp in Peshawar was planned and controlled from Afghanistan.
