Afghan Taliban helping extremists in Pakistan: ISPR

Very significant statement from the PA, because the perception so far has been that the Afghan Taliban have been strongly opposed to the Pakistani Taliban fighting the Pakistani Military.

IMO, that perception may still hold true in terms of the 'old guard' of Mullah Omar, Haqqani and Hekmetyar who were recipients of Pakistani support and remember the relationship and cooperation, but the newer commanders and emerging leadership on the Afghan side and the newer Pakistani Taliban leadership, the Neo-Taliban, retain no such connections or loyalty and their ideology and tactics are closer to that of Al Qaeda.

We saw this in Bajaur, when Qari Ziaur Rehman, a new Afghan Taliban leader, had close to a thousand of his supporters cross the border and join Pakistani Taliban in fighting the PA.

Afghanistan also swerve as the primary source for both resources in terms of money from the drug trade and weapons. In addition, it is also a conduit for the Uzbek, Tajik and Chechen militants fighting in Pakistan, on whom the TTP-S is reportedly now going to call on.

You are correct that the exact quote of the DG ISPR is not included in the report, but what militants other than the 'Afghan Taliban militants' could be supplying weapons to the TTP?

Also bear in mind the events in Bajaur I referred to.

If there was a victory for the pakistan "taliban" they could turn there attention to the afgan taliban and start killing there senior commmanders along the same lines they used in pakistan by killing the tribal elders-officals and then filling the vacum......at the moment i agree that mullah omar is a "asset" for pakistan but if his postion and clout is undermined we need a have a plan B.

Five burqa-clad Arabs arrested in Mohmand entered from Afghanistran​

GHALANAI: At least 13 militants were killed in a clash with security forces following arrest of five burqa-clad Arabs, one Afghan national and a local man in Mohmand Agency on Tuesday.

Four of the five Arabs are Saudi nationals — Ahmed, Ali, Mohammad and Obaidullah — and one Libyan national, Abdullah. The Afghan national has been identified as Habibullah and the local man as Shad Ali. They were detained at the Khapakh checkpost. The Afghan was living in Chakdara area of Lower Dir.

When troops were taking the detained men to Ghalanai, about 60 militants attacked them in an area between Ziyari Kando and Nasapai. The clash continued for more than two hours, an official spokesman said.

Security forces shelled militants’ positions from Ghalanai with mortars and cannons. Thirteen terrorists were killed and the others escaped. Two vehicles of militants were destroyed, the spokesman said.

Security personnel brought the body of one militant to the Ghalanai FC camp; the other bodies were taken away by the attackers. The administration sealed all entry points to the tribal region and beefed up security to apprehend the fleeing militants.

Troops also launched a search operation in Mian Mandi Bazaar.

A jirga of tribal elders will be held in Ghalanai on Wednesday to discuss the presence of militants, including foreigners, in the area.

The spokesman said the detained militants had been hiding in Kareer Qandaharo and Kung Khwayzai for several days and they had attacked the Khapakh post.

‘They came to Pakistan via Afghanistan which is financing them,’ he alleged.

He said SMGs, hand-grenades, Kalashnikovs, passports and other important documents had been seized from them and their vehicle had been impounded.

i dont think the kingdom itself is involved but there is alot of saudi funding from rich jihadi princes for alqeada and co but the interesting thing is why dont u fight a jihad in ur own country why are u cowards and puppets in ur own country why are funding jihad in our lands and yet bowing down to the americans at least act in ur own interests
