"While the whole world is United against Corona Virus, some elements like Taliban/ TTP continue with their hatred. This is high time Pakistan should stop its support to such elements and stand together with humanity and with civilisations," said a source in Kabul.
According to terrorism experts, this is the likely handiwork of the LeT and Haqqani group that have been carrying out activities in the name of Daesh.
