UN terror report reiterated Imran’s ‘confession’: Govt

NEW DELHI:A new UN report that refers to the presence of thousands of Pakistani terrorists in Afghanistan is a reiteration of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s acknowledgement last year that his country hosts up to 40,000 terrorists, the external affairs ministry said on Friday.

Reacting to the Pakistan Foreign Office’s contention that the external affairs ministry was using the UN report to “slander Pakistan”, ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the UN Security Council’s analytical support and sanctions monitoring team had only reiterated what Khan “has already confessed”.
