Waziristan, January 23: Deep in the hills of Pakistan’s South Waziristan, these Pakistani Taliban recruits are being trained for suicide missions. An ally of the Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda, the Pakistani Taliban is responsible for rising violence in South Asia. Waziristan region has served as a safe sanctuary for Islamist militants – be it the Taliban, Haqqani Network or the al Qaeda. Analysts believe that many of these outfits including the LeT enjoy the patronage of Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence.
