a heavy exchange of gunfire between police me attackers, who stormed the compound is the latest in string of attacks from the pakistani taliban on security forces in the country come on, hider has more that day operation, as all the security forces have completed. that operation, they have taken over control of that building which was occupied by the gunmen for several hours a day of gosh, storm that building at 7 o'clock local time and for free. and how far the security for the building, the police defended ministry for some unit of the military. what and was now they are saying that all of those have been neutralized one of them, of god donating the explosive device and do that on
8:19 am
the roof, golf. but also k, but just to give you an idea of what had been going on for the last one month, the high book doing the police inspector general said that they would kick to attack in one month alone in which 300 policemen have been killed in the book to the province alone, intruding dandridge work they explosion that happened just a little over a week ago. i got mark so did showed again that the police were not prepared for this or dag. despite the fact that they've been hired security alert across the country, they're dollar bon buckets on the broad and wild that they will continue to do their dag. but for now, we can confirm that the situation is under control. and that's the unity fortunate to have taken over the control of that war at the office of the police chief of the city and that this operated. now all law will the pakistani taliban have been fi?
8:20 am
seeing the government for more than 15 years. it shares ethnic, an ideological ties with the afghan taliban. last june, the pug stony taliban announced to cease fire with the government of the talks broken by the afghan taliban. but in november, the pakistani taliban ended the si, fi accusing the military of expanding a tags on them. since then, the group has increased its offensive, ambushing police and military patrols and wants a government to release its members from prison and reduce military presence. in formal tribal regents as go to him tales goal, he is executive director of the center for research and security studies and independent think tank. he joins us now from slum about. thank you so much for your time, sir. are we seeing an uptake in attack by the taliban in pakistan? what i think this is part of the pattern that the t t p has been pursuing, particularly in the last 6 weeks or so. and their prime new target now seems to be
8:21 am
the security courses as well as the police. and obviously this, the objective is basically to keep pricking pockets on security apparatus injecting demoralization frustration and implicating of an element of fear among the population. so this is really clearly a pattern that does not, is now she gradually seems to be shipped him from the border regions. region that bought it. i've gone on to populated urban centers like the attack we have seen now in the garage, she police headquarters. it seems to be like a shift and gear by the t t p, which a spouse's culprit according to the idea that it has embrace taken over from diaesha from mckayden, that they want us to color fit for themselves. but i would say it's extremely
8:22 am
questionable as to whether they really believe and they really stand for these ideas, just because it's a ragtag army. and marcus, the group that is going about going, killing, going about killing people, particularly the horses. this, the objective seems to be targeting the security of course is why actually as well as the yeah, it clearly does seem to be talk of thing the military, the police, why focus on them of the primary objective seems to be just creating that sort of instability uncertainty among the people sees the security forces both the medicaid, the police says probably the biggest hurdle in the, in the way of achieving its goals. which, which are like establishing california in a country that, that hardly has any space for religion. political ology is as follows by our
8:23 am
daughter by dia. i'm and this is largely muslim. but new britain, muslim country where india political parties are a terrorist groups have very little space. it's only a few 1000 people that they are created, this situation, and it's pretty mind boggling at questionable as to whether they are really pursuing what they want. the proxy terror group that has be operating and crick and pockets on every now and then from the north to the south and to go to the, to the west. and unfortunately, the, they are just killing innocent people that seem rather than, sorry. do you think that the do you think that the ttp, the pakistani taliban happened, emboldened by the taliban and taking over in afghanistan? it so very clear, very abuse that once it's all yvonne returned to power and i've got a son. they emboldened all such groups that whether you would call or die shot
8:24 am
t t p r u t i am, i am youth, all terrorist groups who did present direct to the nobody in country they got involved and and now particularly the ttp is drawing inspiration as well from those because they probably want to emulate the african taliban model in buckets on. whereas the, they are really clear differences between the 2 countries. and i've gotten it from the valid bon were who did in the, in the population. they do support from within in buckets on it's not the case. you told us maybe the same, you know that this law mcculloch but here's the budget on. there's hardly any phase for the proxy to groups. really interesting to talk to him, tells goal executive director at the center for search and security studies and independent thing time talking to us from islam about thank you.
