along the border of Afghanistan and
Pakistan this is a lawless expanse of
tribal land uncovered and largely
untouched by the Afghan and Pakistani
government’s bin Laden and Zawahiri have
set up new training camps here amidst a
network of thousands of trails and some
of the highest mountains on earth the
border crossing itself is rugged and
chaotic but this Pakistani military
officer insists that al Qaeda figures
cannot enter Pakistan without being
detected
there’s the entry place from where
people come in to Pakistan and cross
over to Afghanistan you see along the
border we have created all those fence
and barbed wire to prevent any illegal
crossing into the country but an
American official says the border is
more porous than the Pakistanis are
willing to admit you’d have to have an
outpost every few hundred meters to be
able to observe the border people being
able to move back and forth and find
safe havens on either side of the border
is as easy as crossing the street in the
United States the US military presence
in Afghanistan has led to the conclusion
that bin Laden and his leadership are
hiding on the Pakistani side of the
border
extremist groups like the jamya ulema
Islam are openly willing to harbor
al-qaeda but in live good ISM it is an
obligation of every Muslim in every
country to protect their friend from the
enemy home to a fiercely independent and
heavily armed population even the
Pakistani military is wary of this
violent tribal region sending an army up
into these hills is not a simple mission
people who live in these regions have
been running their own affairs since
time immemorial they are proud marshal
and well resourced in part because they
have built up a rich history of
smuggling and other criminal enterprises
that have enriched them amongst the drug
runners and booming black-market for
weapons outsiders are easily identified
here in the Daraa gun market local
guides advise Westerners to stay away as
they are likely to be shot on sight
we make weapons here pistols kalishnikov
repeaters and copies of the new weapons
that are manufactured in America and
sent to us the local versions work even
better than those produced abroad many
of these weapons wind up in the hands of
al-qaeda some even cross the border
where they are used to attack US troops
there’s a portable rocket grenade launch
has been captured in an encounter with
the terrorists he’ll be deposited again
with the headquarters the best weapon
you can buy it here off in the border
areas so this is what the reality of the
environment of Pakistan is Kalashnikovs
for men and the tribal areas are like
purses for women in the United States I
mean got to have one officially the US
military is not allowed to enter the
tribal areas without pakistani
permission so america must depend on
Pakistan’s troops to conduct most ground
operations against al-qaeda
