'BD mission in Pakistan under Taliban threat'

The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) could attack the Bangladesh High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The Nation, a Pakistani English daily, published the report on Thursday quoting a report from law enforcement agencies submitted to the country’s interior ministry.

“According to well-placed sources, law enforcement agencies have submitted a report to interior ministry quoting a security agency that Taliban have expressed annoyance with the Bangladesh government over the killing of Abdul Quader Molla and could attack the Bangladesh High Commission,” says the report.

A senior official of the law enforcement agency, while talking to The Nation, said they have chalked out an elaborate security plan for the security of the Bangladesh High Commission while security has already been enhanced for major embassies in the federal capital, the report added.

The threat was reliably learnt of on Wednesday, reports The Nation.

The Bangladesh High Commission is located in the residential area of F-6/3, considered to be one of the highbrow sectors of Islamabad.
