Things are definitely heating up in the Pakistan-Afghanistan tribal areas, thought to be the last major sanctuary for al-Qaeda and extremist Taliban forces and leaders. It is important to remember al-Qaeda’s goal in all this – they want war between the US allies. They would love to see Pakistan, India and Afghanistan break […]

I ran across this article which had my alarm bells ringing. It discusses illegal immigrants being smuggled into Turkey, where they were heading their way into the heart of Europe.

Little time for an in depth discussion on the material I found recently, but I do want to get it out for folks to review. First, there is a conflict brewing between the militant Taliban and the local government and pro-government tribes. The stage is set for a major crackdown by the government as the […]

Things are definitely accelerating in the Pakistan Tribal Areas. Yesterday I posted on one report that 8,000 foreign fighters (aka al-Qaeda and friends) had retreated to Pakistan for what could be their last stand against the West. Today another article comes out with more details on a secret report from the ISI detailing the 10,000 […]

One of the leading political parties in Pakistan has just accused the Pakistani Intelligence Service of fostering the deadly militants and foreign fighters in Pakistan: Peshawar, July 20: Accusing the secret agencies of creating law and order situation in the Federally Administered Tribal areas (Fata), Awami National Party has asked the federal government to rein […]

The border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan is heating up. I have a slew of interesting articles on activities there as a continuation of my recent posts on the area (see here, here and here) which I will get to in a moment, but one article truly struck me and it was from Reuters: Former […]
