This paper is an effort to critically evaluate Pakistan’s counterterrorism strategy, based
on both military and non-military means. The paper argues that the counterterrorism
strategy of Pakistan has proved ineffective and counter-productive to combat the homegrown threat of terrorism, unleashed by militant sectarian groups, following the Takfiri
ideology. Although Pakistan’s Military claims that the latest on-going security
operations, Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan and Khyber-II in Khyber Agency, have
succeeded in clearing most of the area, however, the matter of fact is that the security
operations have not considerably damaged the ability of terrorists, particularly the
Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP), to plan and execute terrorist attacks. The terrorists’
network, their strength and structure have until now remained intact. The key to longterm prevention of terrorism, beyond security operations for clearing any area of the
militants, is to discontinue the supply chain of terrorists. This requires the creation of a
new counter-extremism religious narrative, which will help re-formulate a concrete and
effective counter-terrorism strategy of Pakistan to ensure domestic peace and security.
