Unknown person opened fire in hotel parking, Al Qaeda-Taliban suspected of murder

Two officers of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) intelligence agency have been shot dead in Pakistan's Punjab province. According to media reports, this incident of murder took place on Tuesday night, but the media was informed about it on Wednesday.
According to the police, an unknown person fired at the two officers when they were present in the parking lot of a hotel in Khanewal town. The attacker fled after firing. Search for him is going on. The suspicion of the attack is on Al-Qaeda Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ie TTP. The army or the ISI itself has not said anything on this matter so far.
According to a report in 'The Express Tribune', both the slain officers were working on a case. They stayed in a hotel in Khanewal city. At the time of the murder, he was talking in the parking lot of the hotel. Meanwhile, a person reached there and fired at them from close range. According to the police, both officers died on the spot.
According to media reports, the names of the slain officers are Naveed Sadiq and Nasir Abbas. Naveed was the director of the intelligence agency in the Multan region, while Nasir Abbas was an inspector-rank officer.
According to the police, the assailant had come there on a bike and immediately fled after firing. After the incident, the IG and other top officers of Punjab province reached the spot.
According to an officer associated with the investigation, both officers were probing a case related to terrorism. It is suspected that he was killed by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Although the activities of Al-Qaeda are very less in Pakistan, there is a lot of terror of TTP here. Recently, TTP also attacked the country's capital Islamabad. A police officer was killed in this and about 6 people were injured.
Pakistan's Home Minister Rana Sanaullah had said on Wednesday itself that now no talks will be held with Taliban Pakistan and the army has the right to conduct military operations against it.
TTP is continuously attacking Pakistan. Because of this, the army and the government there are in a panic. On Thursday, Pakistan's Home Minister Rana Sanaullah blamed the Afghan Taliban for the TTP attacks. Said- TTP terrorists take shelter in Afghanistan after attacks in Pakistan. If these attacks do not stop, we will enter Afghanistan and kill these terrorists. We know in which parts of Afghanistan and where TTP terrorists take shelter. They also get weapons from there.
This threat from Pakistan was deeply resented by the Taliban rulers. Senior Taliban leader and Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Yasir shared a photo on social media. Shared a caption in Urdu with this. First, know about this photo. This photo is of the war between India and Pakistan in 1971. The Pakistani army was badly defeated. More than 90 thousand of his soldiers had surrendered.
On 15 August 2021, the Afghan Taliban captured the entire Afghanistan along with Kabul. There are two factions of the Taliban. First- Afghanistan Taliban. It has people from many communities including Tajik, Uzbek, Pashtun and Hazara. Second- TTP means Taliban Pakistan. It consists mostly of Pashtuns and Pathans. They are active in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Waziristan of Pakistan.
The aim or say the ideology of the Afghan Taliban and Pakistan Taliban is the same. Both want to implement hardline Islam and Sharia law. TTP says that Pakistan is a half-incomplete Islamic country and Sharia law should be fully implemented here.
