Terrorism in Pakistan

Terrorism in Pakistan has become a major and highly destructive phenomenon in recent years. President Asif Ali Zardari, along with former President ex-Pakistan Army head Pervez Musharraf, have admitted that terrorist outfits were “deliberately created and nurtured” by past governments “as a policy to achieve some short-term tactical objectives”.[1][2] The trend began with Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s controversial “Islamization” policies of the 1980s, under which a jihad or guerilla holy war was started against non-muslim countries. Zia’s tenure as president saw Pakistan’s involvement in the Soviet-Afghan War, which led to a greater influx of ideologically driven Afghan Arabs to the tribal areas and increased availability of guns such as the AK-47 and drugs from the Golden Crescent.

The same groups are now taking on the state itself, making the biggest threat to it and the citizens of Pakistan through the politically motivated killing of civilians and police officials, by what Pakistan calls misguided holy warriors (mujahideen) and the rest of the world calls terrorists.[citation needed]
From the summer of 2007 until late 2009, more than 5,500 people were killed in suicide and other attacks on civilians[5] for reasons attributed to a number of causes – sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims; easy availability of guns and explosives; the existence of a “Kalishnikov culture”; an influx of ideologically driven Afghan Arabs based in or near Pakistan, who originate from any country with a Muslim population and the subsequent war against the Afghan communists in the 1980s which blew back into Pakistan; the presence of Islamist insurgent groups and forces such as the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba; Pakistan’s thousands of fundamentalist madrassas (Islamic schools) which are thought by some to provide training for little other than jihad.[who?] and secessionists movements – the most significant being the Balochistan liberation movement – blamed on regionalism, which is problematic in a country with
