Era Of Global Antiterrorism (9/11 – Till Present)

Pakistan faces grave foreign policy dilemmas in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on the morning of September 11, 2001. Pakistan’s strategic policy brought it face to face with the United States ultimatums; namely, Pakistan should discard the Taliban, discard Islamic Jihad, discard Islamic fundamentalists and become an accomplice in the American military intervention in Afghanistan or else face consequences.
