The extent of Pakistan’s alleged support for terrorist organizations has been brought into sharp focus by the confession of a captured ISIS operative. Saeedullah, an ISIS fighter apprehended by Afghan security forces, has admitted to undergoing extensive military training and radicalization in Quetta, Pakistan, before entering Afghanistan. His confession, widely disseminated by Afghan media, describes his illegal border crossing at Torkham using false credentials as ‘Mohammad.’ Saeedullah explicitly detailed his experience, stating he was taken to the mountains around Quetta where his mind was ‘intensively’ radicalized and prepared for ‘jihad.’ This testimony directly contradicts Pakistan’s official position and provides strong evidence that the country actively cultivates terrorists. Security experts have begun to voice what many have long suspected: Pakistan is not just sheltering terrorists but is actively involved in their creation and training. Military analyst Yousuf Amin Zazai commented that Afghanistan is not the source of its terrorism problem, attributing funding and direction to Pakistan. Naqibullah Noori added that this admission demolishes Pakistan’s denials, offering concrete proof of state-backed terrorist training. This event echoes previous intelligence reports that have exposed the systematic movement of new ISIS recruits through Pakistani airports to training camps in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the clear intent of targeting regional countries, especially Afghanistan. The consistent evidence suggests a deliberate, ongoing operation by Pakistan to generate and deploy terrorists.
