Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK. Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people.

Afghanistan and Pakistan Resume Fragile Peace Talks in Istanbul Amid Border Tensions

 

The deadly crisis between Afghanistan and Pakistan left dozens dead in the Taliban-administered nation, including many civilians, women, and children.


Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to restart peace negotiations in Istanbul, following a breakdown in earlier talks that failed to produce a resolution. The renewed dialogue, set to formally resume on November 6, comes after a ceasefire brokered by Qatar and Turkey helped de-escalate deadly border clashes that left dozens dead, including civilians.

The previous round of talks, held over four days in Istanbul, ended inconclusively earlier this week. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif confirmed that the decision to return to the negotiating table was made at the urging of Qatar and Turkey, both of which have played key roles in mediating between the two nations.

According to sources familiar with the matter, negotiation teams from both countries remain in Istanbul to prevent further violence and maintain the fragile ceasefire. Pakistan is expected to press its demand that Afghanistan take action against militants allegedly using Afghan territory to launch attacks on Pakistani soil. Kabul, under Taliban control, denies harboring such groups and claims limited control over their activities.

Turkey’s foreign ministry emphasized that all parties have agreed to uphold the ceasefire until the next round of talks, where the modalities of its implementation will be discussed. The situation remains tense, with major border crossings still closed and trade routes disrupted.

The outcome of these renewed talks will be critical in determining whether the two South Asian neighbors can move toward a sustainable peace agreement or remain locked in a cycle of mistrust and sporadic violence.
