Why would they? Pakistan has become the HQ of Al Qaeda and they know that.

According to what report? They have been driven out and their presence is negligible. If you have bothered to keep up you would have realised they shifted to Yemen and Somalia.
 
But the punjabi pakistanis have been telling on this forum that there is no terrorism in punjab. Was this just a call center outsourced by someone in karachi? Is this located close to muridke?
