Pakistan plans to take up the issue of Afghan nationals’ involvement in extorting Pakistani citizens once again, a top official said Tuesday, as Islamabad ramps up efforts to safeguard its people from cross-border threats. The authorities have time and again mentioned that Afghan citizens were involved in terrorism, extortion, and other illicit activities in Pakistan, asking the neighbouring nation to take action against such elements.

In a press conference in Peshawar, DIG Counter Terrorism Finance Imran Shahid said the Pakistani side has decided to raise the matter of Afghan citizens’ involvement in extortion with the interim Taliban government in Kabul. The top official mentioned that the authorities have arrested two extortionists, who belong to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. “Zaman Faiz and Saeedullah, who were arrested, are Afghan citizens. They were arrested from Lahore and we have also seized their mobile phones,” he said.
