A photograph has emerged appearing to show senior leaders of the proscribed Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, providing what is being described as concrete proof of Pakistan’s long-standing position that anti-state terrorist groups are being provided safe havens in Afghanistan.

The image reportedly shows senior commanders, including Abu Sufyan Karwan, Sardar Hayat, and others, relaxing by the hotel’s swimming pool. The Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group is an ally of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and has been involved in numerous terrorist attacks against Pakistani security forces and civilians. The development contradicts repeated denials from Kabul about harboring such elements and reinforces Pakistan’s calls for the Afghan regime to take decisive action against terrorist sanctuaries on its soil.
