Representatives of the Taliban movement in Pakistan have confirmed their involvement in the terrorist attack that occurred on November 11 outside a courthouse in Islamabad, AFP reports.

The Taliban have said they will continue to carry out attacks until Pakistan imposes Islamic law.

Judges, lawyers and officials who made decisions in accordance with Pakistan's un-Islamic laws became targets, they reported (quoted from Kommersant).

On November 11, France 24 reported that a suicide bomber detonated an explosion outside a courthouse in Islamabad, killing at least 12 people and injuring 27 others.

Bloomberg reported on November 8 that talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan ended without an agreement. Taliban representatives refused to provide firm guarantees to stop cross-border attacks, which became a serious obstacle to extending the ceasefire.

The situation on the Afghan-Pakistani border escalated in mid-October. Following Islamabad's air strikes in Afghanistan, the countries agreed to a temporary ceasefire. Taliban and Pakistani representatives then held talks in Qatar. In Doha, they reached an agreement on an immediate ceasefire.

Since the ceasefire, Pakistani security forces have recorded several attempts to infiltrate across the Afghan border. Both sides continue to accuse each other of border violations, raising the risk of a resumption of full-scale hostilities.
