#2 I could see a Haj flight to Mecca followed by a dhow from Saudi to Aquba or by road to Jordan .. but armed and equipped movement gets more iffy to see.

#6 Reportedly the Pak Taliban have established a 'monitoring' office in Turkey. That would likely be the point of arrival from Pakistan.

I suspect much of the Muslim world would quietly expedite such transit in hopes of the snuffies getting snuffed.

#10 the pak taliban may be there as part of the intra-sunni war heating up in syria rather than the anti shia war or the anti-others war
