Witness footage from near the Karachi Police Department in Pakistan captures the moment a Taliban suicide bomber detonates himself inside of a Pakistani Government Building.

It's worth remembering that the Taliban are the Government of Afghanistan now. So, when we hear that the Taliban attacked a police station in Pakistan with a suicide bomber, what we're actually seeing is the government of Afghanistan committing an overt act of war against Pakistan. If Pakistan decides to militarily retaliate against Afghanistan because of this attack, they would be well within their rights to do so.

The Taliban are no longer able to hide behind the fact that they're a small terrorist organization. They are literally the government of a country now, and their actions have consequences. It'd be a real shame if the Afghan Freedom Front or Northern Resistance Front started getting arms and ammunition from the government of Pakistan.

Everything in the video above was recorded by witnesses near the Karachi Police Department in Pakistan. It's also worth noting that the TTP are the ones responsible for this attack, who are technically the Pakistani Taliban and not the Afghan Taliban. Regardless, a Talib is a Talib is a Talib, and the Taliban currently control a government.
