A 1980 cable released by the American embassy in Islamabad to the state department reveals that the US government is not optimistic about resolving the conflict over nuclear issues with Pakistan. The cable highlights the narrowness of local attitudes towards the proliferation hazards of sensitive nuclear technology.

Bannu Cantt in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa attacked with explosives, 12 Pak Soldiers Killed

The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle. #BannuCantonment #PakistanAttack #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #Terrorism #PakistaniSoldiers #ExplosiveAttack #SecurityThreat #TTP #JaishFursan-e-Muhammad #MilitaryCasualties #TerroristIncident #SecurityForces #PakistaniArmy #NationalSecurity #CurrentEvents ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~
