A research report from the US Congress states that Pakistan serves as a strong hub for terrorist groups and has launched extensive missions for terrorist activities against neighbors including Afghanistan in five areas: the world, Afghanistan, Indian Kashmir, internal wars, and religious pretexts.
The report, shared with Congress four days prior to March 29, 2026, claims that Pakistan's coordination with these groups has strained its relations with neighbors to the brink of violence. It accuses Pakistan of training terrorist groups against its neighbors, the region, and the world as a tool of political pressure.
Pakistan has portrayed itself as a victim to secure international aid while supporting such groups, the report indicates.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has raised concerns with neighboring countries about terrorist centers located in areas under Pakistani control.

Reliability assessment
Two outlets (Hurriyat, Ariana News) corroborate the existence and content of a US Congress research report describing Pakistan as a hub for terrorist groups, providing direct on-record attribution to a named official source with consistent core details.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hurriyat: "mission to create new evil for its neighbors" (emotional framing portraying Pakistan's actions as malevolent); "brought relations to the brink of violence" (mild hyperbole exaggerating diplomatic tensions); "trained such groups against neighbors" (opinionated accusation implying deliberate aggression).
