Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy, with players from six countries except India currently in the country. Foreign fans have also traveled to Pakistan to support their teams, leading to large crowds. However, reports suggest that many foreigners are now leaving Pakistan due to security concerns.
According to intelligence sources, terrorist organizations are planning to kidnap foreign nationals. Pakistan’s intelligence agencies have alerted the government about the threat. This has created a tense atmosphere across the country, prompting many foreign visitors to decide to leave, while some have already returned to their home countries.
Reports indicate that the terrorist group ISKP is behind these plans, specifically targeting people from China and Arab nations. Terrorists are closely monitoring key locations such as ports, airports, offices, and residential areas.
In 2009, terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team’s bus, leading to an international cricket ban in Pakistan for over a decade. Since 1996, Pakistan is now hosting an ICC event again. With India refusing to travel to Pakistan, all of India’s matches are being played in Dubai. The emergence of these security threats at such a crucial time is seen as a major setback for Pakistan’s cricketing future.
