TTP is not part of the jihadist groups responsible for this attack though.

It's an alliance that was formed last year and consists of Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group (HBG), Lashkar-e-Islam (LeI) and Harkat Inqilab-e-Islami Pakistan (HIIP).

Absolutely forgot to mention this – didn't mean to imply that TTP was responsible. Thank you for this.

In 2022, Pakistan overtook Afganistan in number of terror related deaths (5th worldwide based on number of deaths)
In 2026 Global Terrorism Index, Pakistan was ranked global number 1 most affected by terrorism, based on deaths, number of seperate incidents and severity, overtaking burkina faso which was originally number 1

You have to test before you deploy.
But on serious note, there is lot of tension between many groups in Pakistan. Shia vs Sunni, Baloch vs Pakistan, then some talibani presence and foreign interference.

A country that sponsors terrorists is bound to have a lot of local ones.

From within their own perspective it makes sense. They do not see the world like you do.

Bannu is a Pashtun-majority region, this is different than the BLA insurgency. Terrorists are scum, nevertheless.

I wouldn't day that after looking into Pakistan's treatment of the pastun minority. The state is brutal in its repression.
