Pakistan's Interior Ministry has warned the threat of terror attacks was looming large over the country.
He added that the infiltration of terrorists and supply of arms from across eastern and western borders were continuing unabated.
Director General of National Crisis Management Cell of the Interior Ministry Tariq Lodhi gave the warning during a presentation before the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Interior.
Tariq said Punjab faced threats from the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and other outlawed organisations and Sindh from sub-nationalists, Al Qaeda, TTP and LeJ, ethnic terrorism, targeted killings and crime syndicates.
According to Dawn News, he said Balochistan was threatened by Al Qaeda, TTP, LeJ and about a dozen Baloch militant groups, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas by TTP, Al Qaeda, LeJ and foreign-sponsored terrorism, Gilgit-Baltistan by TTP and sectarian groups, including LeJ, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir by India-sponsored terrorism.
He said Islamabad had become an 'extremely dangerous' city because of the presence of banned outfits and other factors, the report added.
