Extortions bleed Pakistan's terror-stalked northwest

The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has established a reign of terror in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, operating openly and extorting money from residents. Wealthy individuals are receiving threats demanding exorbitant sums, often delivered through WhatsApp messages from Afghan numbers. Those who refuse to pay face potential attacks, while authorities struggle to track down the perpetrators and provide adequate protection.
