Terrorists ‘not the only ones’ behind SP’s murder: DG ISPR

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General (DG) Major General Asif Ghafoor took to twitter on said on Thursday and termed the vicious murder of Superintendent Police (SP) Tahir Dawar in Afghanistan as highly condemnable.

The ISPR DG said that the kidnapping of the SP, his transfer to Afghanistan and the follow up behaviour of the Afghan authorities raised serious questions. “The SP’s killing was not just the work of a terrorist organisation in Afghanistan, but some others were also involved,” he added.

Brutal murder of SP Tahir in Afg is highly condemnable. We have lost a brave police officer. His abduction, move to Afg, murder and follow up behaviour of Afg authorities raise questions which indicate involvement or resources more than a terrorist organisation in Afg. (1of2).
