[00:00:03]I'm shifting our focus to a mega CNN News 18 exclusive. Al-Qaeda has issued a scathing statement against Pakistan.

[00:00:09]Al-Qaeda is threatening Pakistan civil military regime. Has warned Pakistan to stay away from Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda now vowing to support Afghan Taliban against Pakistan government. Al-Qaeda will be supporting them with the best of its abilities. What we're learning as per the exclusive inputs shared by Manoj Gupta. It's going to be backing it with the best of its ability and energy against Pakistan civil military hybrid regime is what the statement essentially says. Al-Qaeda general leadership or command in this two-page statement by As-Sahab circulated on encrypted platforms by Shahzada News Agency announced support for the Afghan government against Pakistan amid recent military escalation. They've been appealing to the Pakistani public for support criticizing Pakistani leadership and addressing Pakistan's population framing global politics as a hostile Zionist crusader system as per this statement.

[00:01:07]So, this is the latest that we're learning. Manoj Gupta sharing all those details with us. The statement also urging Pakistanis to repay some of their kindness referencing decades of Afghan sacrifices. Akanksha Swarup joins us with more details. Akanksha, Pakistan's decade-long strategy of nurturing proxy groups now back to haunt it. Even Al-Qaeda openly turning hostile.

[00:01:32]Right. And this could spell more trouble apart from say the militant activities that are being conducted by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan which has already plagued Pakistan for a while now. So, Al-Qaeda extending that warning to Pakistan to stay away from Afghanistan is not just giving Afghanistan and the Afghan Taliban more backing, but it is spelling more trouble for the Pak establishment as you rightly highlighted in that statement and inputs that have been shared by Manoj We are being told that Al-Qaeda has addressed Pakistan's population framing global politics as a hostile Zionist crusader system as per this statement because remember the this prospect of Pakistan mediating the war in Iran. Many are viewing it as lopsided and in the favor of the US and Israel even though Pakistan has no bilateral relationship with Israel, but they see this as a massive threat to the Islamic world.

[00:02:28]The group portraying Taliban's rule in Afghanistan as part of a wider ideological shift now as far as Al-Qaeda extending that support to the Afghan government. It accuses also Pakistan of aligning with Western powers and acting against Afghanistan.

[00:02:47]And according to the statement what one can interpret Kritika Al-Qaeda is seeking to exploit anti-government sentiment against the Pakistan establishment under Asim Munir urging Pakistani especially security forces to revolt, refuse orders and support jihadist objectives signaling renewed intent to expand influence and destabilize Pakistan Pakistan internally. Can the Pak regime afford such kind of anarchy on their soil given what the plight of their own economy is the big question now.

[00:03:24]>> Okay, many thanks Akanksha for joining us with that detailed analysis.
