| [DAWN] The United States has taken Pakistain into confidence over a new US military alliance to fight the growing global presence of the self-styled Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS), sources told DawnNews on Friday. The new alliance, called 'Sahel to South Asia' is expected to be announced soon by the White House. "Pakistain has been consulted by the US at the highest level," according to a top government official. Pakistain will take a formal decision after conducting consultations with all domestic stakeholders over joining the alliance, added the official. "IS has presence in Afghanistan, and they maintain close collaboration with bad boy organizations, and if not tackled they can pose a threat to Pakistain's security," the government official further said. More details are expected to be worked out through a high-level meeting between the military leadership of both countries, once the alliance is officially announced and made public by the US. |
