They have accepted each and every terror strike. And when ever they are in trouble I see their apologists on TV trying to create confusion. The taleban are striving for a mission and they have never shied away from it. They want Islamic “shariah” in the country as per their understanding.
As far as their killings are concerned, I believe they are under stated. As they have carried out attacks in cities in crowded areas. For example the attack on moon market Lahore was carried out on one side, when people ran towards the other side another bomb was detonated. Many people were killed in their shops. Government announced that around 100 people were killed, but my close relative who had a clinic there believes around 300 people were killed there as the market is jam packed in the night.
