ISLAMABAD - The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has threatened to attack Bangladesh Embassy in Islamabad in the wake of the killing of Abdul Qadir Mulla, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) leader in Bangladesh, it was reliably learnt on Wednesday.
Although security around Bangladesh foreign mission in Pakistan has been enhanced manifold and the fresh security directions have been issued to Ambassador of Bangladesh, yet law enforcement agencies still fear a terrorist attack at BD mission. 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 Qadir Mulla and could attack the Bangladesh embassy. The unnamed security agency officials had called for preventive measures in the wake of the threats.
