Emboldened, the Taliban answered in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Both attacks were on provincial police headquarters. Both were deadly. But that’s not all. *Nehemiah, Forgotten Missionaries International’s director in Pakistan, explains, “Prior to this news, a government hospital in Lahore, the children’s ward, they evacuated because there was a rumor that there was bomb there.” The group behind the attacks called them revenge for the execution of its members. “The Taliban Pakistan: they’re claiming responsibility for this. But […] this Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan group has more than 70 splinter groups in Taliban, so it’s very difficult to determine which group this is.”
