Pakistan's 'Enemy No.1': How Noor Wali Mehsud Became Top Target for Asim Munir
•Pakistan's military faces internal cracks as conflict with Afghanistan intensifies, with Army chief General Asim Munir questioning generals' competence.
•Noor Wali Mehsud, chief of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has emerged as Pakistan's most persistent internal security threat.
•Mehsud, from South Waziristan, took TTP leadership in 2018 and restructured the group, unifying factions and expanding operations.
•The TTP's resurgence under Mehsud, especially after the Taliban's return in Afghanistan, has led to increased cross-border attacks on Pakistan.
•Pakistan views Mehsud as 'enemy no.1' due to his ability to unify factions and operate from Afghan territory, exposing failures of past policies.
