Meanwhile, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Azaz Ahmed Chaudhry also clarified that Pakistan would never like to see terrorist elements traveling abroad and taking part in any insurgency through terrorist activities. “Pakistani officials will never allow them to do so,” he added.
It is pertinent to mention that a Pakistani Taliban commander told BBC on Friday that the cell to monitor "the jihad" in Syria was set up six months
ago.
He said that the cell has the approval of militant factions both within and outside of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an umbrella organisation of militant groups fighting the Pakistani forces.
The cell sends "information and feedback" on the conflict in Syria back to Pakistan, he said,
"They were facilitated by our friends in Syria who have previously been fighting in Afghanistan," Mr Amin said.
Their job is to "assess the needs of the Jihad in Syria, and to work out joint operations with our Syrian friends".
