ISLAMABAD: On his visit to Kabul on Wednesday, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif sought handover of top Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan chief Mullah Fazalullah who is wanted for terrorism cases in Pakistan.

The army chief shared classified intelligence details with the Afghan officials and revealed to them that the mastermind behind the Peshawar attack, who was from Afghanistan, was giving directives to terrorists.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Afghanistan stands with the people of Pakistan in their hour of grief.

General Raheel also met International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) commander General Joseph Dunford. Dunford condemned the attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar and assured Pakistan of complete cooperation in countering terrorism and in security related matters.

General Raheel also sought Kabul's help in order to extradite top Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan chief Mullah Fazalullah who is wanted for terrorism cases in Pakistan.

A day earlier, it had emerged that a Taliban commander Umar Naray masterminded the Peshawar attack from Afghanistan.

"His communications have been intercepted as well which helped security agencies in tracing his location and whereabouts which was urgently shared not only with the Afghan army but also with Nato forces," a security source said.

Respected Mr. COAS, ask Afghanistan and the American forces to find and hand us over the terrorists hiding in Kunar and if they don't comply within a week's time then hunt those barbarians down yourself even if you have to cross the border. These cowards just hit, run and hide and they don't have the guts to face our army. HUNT THEM DOWN!!

I hope our Afghan leaders are smart enough to not agree a one way agreement with Pakistan. If Pakistan wants to have hot pursuit rights in Afghanistan, I think Afghanistan should be able to have the same right to eliminate the terrorist hiding in Pakistan. Afghans are suffering for decades because of strategic depth policy of Pakistan and even now on daily basis people are dying. In the past 13 years Pakistan has played double game and deceived the Afghans and International community. They have only targeted those terror outfits, which were of no use for them. Even till recently Pakistan regarded Haqqani's as an asset. Afghan leaders should wait and see what Pakistan does through their actions and no longer should believe them on their word, like the past 13 years. Only then they should cooperate and fight a joint war against the terror.

Stop shielding Afghan Taliban who are using Pakistan as a base to launch attacks against Afghanistan and NATO forces; there are no good and bad Taliban, as the PM has proclaimed. They are all savages. In return demand the same from Afghanistan, i.e. action against the TTP commanders holed up there.

We are expecting cooperation from Afghanistan. We should not go for Surgical strike into Afghanistan. We should respect their integrity and sovereignty.

Pakistan COAS should have told the Afghans and the USA in Afghanistan that after the killing of over 100 children either you are with us or against us. And if you are gainst us then we will bomb Afghanistan to stone age

We Afghans are deeply saddened by this heinous martyrs of these innocent souls. Please DO NOT forget that these terrorists are killing our innocent people everyday too. We need equal, honest and serious action against Haqanis and other Pakistani Taliban on Pakistani side too with out any discrimination. We have been shouting this to Pakistan everyday now that Pakistan is in Afghanistan's shoes you feel. Let's join hands against these invaders and make the region safe.

Good Decision. Whole Pakistan Afghan region should be cleared from weapons. Civilians having weapons either should be killed or arrested. NO OTHER CHOICE!!!

Afghan border security force must be raised now from scratch and should not be locals of the area. Border must be heavily land-mined, leaving only the official crossing points open. If the Afghan government doesn't support us now, we must cancel the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement and totally seal the border. Post snipers with orders to shoot to kill. Enough is enough.

The Mis·Chief·Vous Mullah Fazalullah should be eliminated immediately, by the Pakistan armed forces. It is now imperative and high time we used drones to crush the TTP criminal. Pakistan has the capability to use drones and can if necessary, take the help of CHINA. Even USA will readily help us, as soon as the Afghan President gives the Green Signal which is a must.

@Haroon First develop the kick then only kick. When your army is funded by the US how do you expect them to react in national interest. They attack you with drones. They track down their enemies within reach of a military academy and deal it without impunity. What capacity truly have you developed? An army is made from good Captains not loyal lieutenants.

Good step. Ask the Afghan President and NATO forces to handle this case or Pakistan might be forced to go inside Afghanistan. Understand that Pakistan does not want to step into Afghan's sovereign land but the precedent has already been set by world powers.

While we are all keen on taking action in Afghanistan, lets not forget that there are plenty of militant targets in Pakistan to take action against .... e.g. Lal Masjid, the Quetta Shura, etc. As is usual, we are looking to fix others, but we should start by fixing our own issues! I'm amazed that no on these posts seems to consider this an issue ....
