The attack on the Save the Children offices in Jalalabad was claimed by IS. Like the attack on the Intercontinental in Kabul two days ago, which left twenty-two people on the ground. According to many, it is the first results of Trump's 'new' Afghan strategy but, above all, of the latest decisions taken by the White House regarding Pakistan. Somehow predictable and predictable results: a new wave of terrorist attacks would be one of the best ways for Islamabad to reaffirm its role as an indispensable ally in resolving the Afghan conflict. The claims of IS, whatever the meaning of the initials at these latitudes, leave the time they find. According to many, and according to the former Pakistani ambassador in the USA Hussein Haqqani, the attack on the Intercontinental presents many similarities with the attack in Mumbai in 2008 and that of the Army Public School in Peshawar in 2014. Both were from Lashkar -i-Toiba and its affiliates, all 'good' terrorists protected by the Islamabad army. And perhaps not by chance, today's attack coincides with the arrival in Pakistan of a UN Security Council Sanctions Commission team. The Commission was welcomed in the country with a 'surprising' political-judicial novelty: the Lahore High Court was formally forbidden by the government to put Mohammed Hafiz Saeed under house arrest once again. Which, it is always worth remembering, of Lashkar-i-Toiba is the founder and the ideologist.
