The head of the UN Security Council’s Daesh and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee has backed Pakistan’s position that Afghan territory is being used to stage terrorist attacks in the country, warning that the proscribed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) poses a serious threat to the regional security. Denmark’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Sandra Jensen Landi — in the capacity of the committee’s chair — presented a report to the UNSC, stating that the terrorist group has conducted numerous high-profile attacks in Pakistan from Afghan soil, some of which incurred mass casualties.
