Taliban spokesman Zabibullah Mudjaheed had told Hungary to withdraw its soldiers from the Asian country or prepare for the deaths of more Hungarian soldiers.

The Ministry said “we read quite a number of these kinds of threats, especially at a time when operations by Taliban resistance fighters meet with the same result as the ambush two weeks ago”.

Hungarian ambassador István Darvasi in Islamabad said the Taliban threat was from a dubious source. “If the threat had been serious it would have received a bigger reaction from Pakistan,” he told MTI on Wednesday."
