Pakistan and state-sponsored terrorism

Pakistan and state-sponsored terrorism are two closely related topics. State-sponsored terrorism is when a government, like the government of Pakistan, uses illegal acts or violence to achieve political goals. This can include things like sending money and weapons to groups that commit acts of violence, or carrying out violence and attacks on their own. In Pakistan, some people say that the government supports terrorist groups, and this has caused a lot of problems both in Pakistan and other countries. For example, some people say that Pakistan has given support to groups like the Taliban and other militants who have carried out attacks around the world, including in India and the United States.
