#SAS #TravelSecurity #SecurityServices #Pakistan: The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) has issued a warning about the use of Afghan territory by terrorist groups to target Pakistan. The USIP report emphasizes the growing regional threat posed by these organizations, which seem to have support from the Afghan Taliban. Despite previous warnings, the Afghan Taliban has failed to sever ties with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, a group responsible for attacks in Pakistan. The report reveals that the Taliban provides financial aid, weapons, and secret hideouts to these groups. To address this threat, the USIP recommends increased military and intelligence operations, as well as enhanced counter-terrorism cooperation between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Urgent action is needed from the Taliban to tackle these terrorist organizations, as international concerns mount over their presence. The USIP underscores the importance of closer collaboration between the Taliban and Pakistan to ensure peace and stability in the region. #Investigations #Intelligence #Securityservices #Executiveprotection #Securitymanagement #Travelrisk #Travelsecurity #Riskanalysis #Securitylogistic For info: S.A.S. investigations and security Phone: +39 0463 901545 Web: www.sasinvestigation.com Mail.

#SAS #TravelSecurity #SecurityServices #Pakistan: From January 1 to October 30, 2024, Pakistan saw over 1,000 deaths and numerous injuries in terrorist attacks, concentrated mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan provinces. Here is an overview of the attacks and involved organizations, broken down by region: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP): TTP was the primary group in KP, conducting ambushes, suicide bombings, and attacks on security forces. In May, an ambush in Kurram district left seven security personnel dead, escalating instability. ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K): ISIS-K carried out several bombings and suicide attacks, particularly in crowded areas near the Afghan border, aiming to destabilize KP by targeting both civilians and security forces. KP witnessed a 77% increase in violence compared to 2023, with civilians comprising 66% of all casualties in this region.​ Balochistan Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Baloch Liberation Front (BLF): These separatist groups escalated their attacks on government and strategic infrastructure, including the Gwadar port, and targeted non-local workers. A high-profile attack in Musakhel in August led to the execution of 23 workers, marking a peak in ethnic tensions. Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP): Though primarily active in KP, the TTP expanded its activities into Balochistan, executing several attacks. Jaishul-Adl (Iran-based): Suspected of involvement in some Balochistan attacks, Jaishul-Adl’s presence has added further complexity to the security landscape in this province​ Sindh and Punjab Sindh experienced a 47% increase in attacks; however, these incidents were fewer in number and impact compared to KP and Balochistan. Punjab, meanwhile, saw isolated incidents of sectarian violence, including the assassination of an Ahmadi doctor, though the overall impact remained relatively low. Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) Typically more stable, GB faced renewed threats this year with terror alerts against possible TTP activities, notably following a suicide attack killing five Chinese engineers working on the Dasu Dam project. Overall Impact and Group Involvement The majority of deaths in 2024 were attributed to the TTP, ISIS-K, and BLA, responsible for over 82% of all terrorism-related fatalities across Pakistan. These groups increasingly targeted civilians and security forces, shifting away from direct military targets and exacerbating civilian impact. This overview underscores an increase in ethnic and sectarian violence, as well as the government’s ongoing challenge in maintaining security in border areas, particularly in KP and Balochistan​ #Investigations #Intelligence #Securityservices #Executiveprotection #Securitymanagement #Travelrisk #Travelsecurity #Riskanalysis #Securitylogistic For info: S.A.S. investigations and security Phone: +39 0463 901545 Web: www.sasinvestigation.com Mail.

In many countries, defence makes up a significant proportion of the national budget.   In this context, measurement of the output, inputs and productivity of defence is crucial to form an accurate cost-benefit analysis. However, there are various challenges and complexities involved in this process.   A new ESCoE discussion paper by Birkbeck, University of London's Ron Smith explores the challenges of measuring defence output, inputs and productivity within the UK national accounts.   The paper follows ESCoE’s recent event on measuring public sector productivity, in partnership with the Office for National Statistics.   Read the blog https://lnkd.in/eyp6efA2   #Defence #Productivity #PublicSector
