Egyptian fighters are increasingly aiding the Taliban in Pakistan border with Afghanistan, providing training, financing and weapons.
During a rare trip to Northern Waziristan with the Pakistani military last week, a top field commander, Maj. Lt. Col. Nisar Mughal, said, "The terrorists are nowhere and everywhere."
He said that the Pakistani military is "hunting" and "killing" the enemy and that "the fight is far from over."
While his men were fighting insurgents in the surrounding hillsides near the abandoned village of Makeen, once home to Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Messud, he said evidence of outside involvement by Egyptian and other foreign factions was found.
"We discovered caches of weapons and explosives that had evidence of outside involvement," Mughal said. "The evidence has already been sent for more analysis.” All this was stated in an article talking about the Taliban’s relations with Egypt. (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/world/Egyptian-fighters-aid-Taliban-in-Pakistan-88219477.html) I honestly could not find out what to write in this blog because I was totally confused and thought that Egypt would support the US but I guess not. So in Egypt’s eyes, the US does not have the right to go into Pakistan.
