Pakistan

al Qaeda is training westerners in Pakistan. Pakistani intelligence indicates the TNSM, “the Pakistani Taliban,” is targeting “British and US diplomats and nationals” as revenge for the Chingai madrassa airstrike. Musharraf said “he had himself watched ‘Bajaur militants getting training in suicide attacks.'” The US does not plan to sign a nuclear deal with Pakistan.
