A media outlet affiliated with the Taliban has accused Pakistan's intelligence of meeting with former Afghan government officials on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in February to reorganize opponents of the group.
The report by Al-Mersaad Dari claims that Pakistan's intelligence is reorganizing and regrouping former "fugitive Arbakis" in various areas of Balochistan. It does not name specific individuals or provide evidence for the allegations.
The accusations occur amid mutual claims between Pakistan and the Taliban over support for each other's opponents. Pakistan accuses the Taliban of sheltering Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and other anti-Pakistan armed groups. The Taliban have denied these accusations.
Taliban-affiliated media have repeatedly made similar claims about Pakistan supporting their opponents without evidence.
