Re: The enemy within - Pakistani Taliban
Why do so many people here and people in general in Pak believe that After US withdrawal all al qaida/taliban operatives from border area and several groups from inside of Pak who have been inspired by taliban/AQ will follow them and go to Afghanistan.
If I am one of those groups then I find it very hard for me to leave Pakistan for Afghanistan as in Pak, I can find better places to hide among local population, easy to fund my operations via robberies, kidnapping, extortion, much better place to recruit future foot soldiers via good solid supply of brainwashed youth, toothless governance and law and order situation above all somewhat of silent support from portion of local population that see me (somewhat) of savior of religion that stands up against US influence in Pakistan.
Majority of these militants (if not all) are “Pakistani” so they are not going anywhere, now that they are used to money, arms and power they will only push for more of these.
