To say that Pakistan lives in a dangerous part of the world is a vast understatement. Afghanistan (and the Taliban) to the left, India (and the Hindu nationalists/extremists) to the right, and violent actors in Balochistan to the south. As a consequence, it suffers from a high number of terrorist attacks. It too, is accused of sponsoring terrorism in the contested Jammu & Kashmir territory in India. What is this all about? A conversation with a former Pakistani law enforcement officer.
