Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has issued yet another provocative statement, claiming that his country is "fully-prepared" for a two-front war against India on the eastern border and the Taliban along the western frontier.

Speaking at a public event, Asif said, "We are ready for war on two fronts. We are ready, we are prepared to face both the eastern (India) and western border (Afghanistan). Allah helped us in round one and He will help us in round two".

His remarks came after 12 people were killed and 36 others were injured in a suicide blast in Islamabad on November 11. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing.
