The Taliban in Pakistan.
With the Taliban about to launch, or perhaps having already launched, its spring offensive in Afghanistan, here are a few timely articles on the problems being caused for both the Coalition and Pakistan by the Taliban safe areas in the Afghan-Pak border regions. Reading these articles is more instructive than following the ritual insults in the latest round of (un)diplomatic exchanges between the neighbours.
Middle East Report Online has an interesting article on The Pakistan Taliban.
Newsline examines Pakistan's Long Night of Terror resulting from the Taliban presence in the tribal belt.
Last month, in Harboring Terrorists, the Center for American Progress painted a gloomy picture of the consequences for US policy of the Taliban safe bases in Pakistan.
