[Dawn] The Pakistain Talibs set up a cell in Syria six months ago to monitor "the jihad" in the region, the BBC Urdu website reported on Friday.The Death Eaters had visited Syria to set up a base with the assistance of ex-Afghan fighter from the Middle East who had recently moved to the region and to assess the "needs of jihad", Mohammad Amin, a Taliban operative told BBC.
Amin was further quoted as saying that the cell, approved by myrmidon factions both within and outside of the TTP, sends "information and feedback" on the conflict in Syria back to Pakistain.
Their job is to "assess the needs of the Jihad in Syria, and to work out joint operations with our Syrian friends", the senior Taliban member added.
| So we've got local secularists, local Salafists, Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant (as it is now called), and the Pakistani Taliban. Any bets on how long before the various jihadis go all taqfiri on one another, in classic example of all against all? |
