Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of reports that Pakistani special forces in Karachi found alleged terrorists in the headquarters of the Muttahida Quami Movement.

This specific case is a matter for the Government of Pakistan. Increasing security and countering terrorism across Pakistan is in the interests of ordinary Pakistanis, regional stability and the UK. The Government is committed to partnering Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and violent extremism, and will continue to support Pakistan in developing its capacity to deal with terrorism, and in addressing its root causes.
