In a rare confession, Pakistan has admitted to having an agreement with a “foreign country” which allowed it to carry drone strikes on Afghanistan soil, Tolo News reported citing source. It has sought retreat from the Turkey talks asking the Afghan side to “accept that Pakistan has the right to carry out attacks on Afghan soil during TTP assaults.“The report, however, did not reveal the “foreign country” under question.It further said that because of the agreement, Pakistan “cannot prevent such strikes because breaking the agreement is not possible.”According to the report, the source claimed there was a lack of coordination within the Pakistani delegation, suggesting that rather than putting forward a coherent case, they seemed more inclined to backtrack and walk away from the talks.The Islamic Emirate’s delegation has argued that the TTP matter is Pakistan’s own longstanding internal issue, not something that concerns Afghanistan.This came after reports suggested that there was a deadlock in the Pakistan-Afghanistan truce talks with both the nations blaming each other for failure to reach a deal.There has been no official comment about the status of the talks.
