The United States has also identified several new Qaeda compounds in North Waziristan, including one that officials said might be training operatives for strikes against targets beyond Afghanistan. American analysts said recent intelligence showed that the compounds functioned under a loose command structure and were operated by groups of Arab, Pakistani and Afghan militants allied with Al Qaeda. They receive guidance from their commanders and Mr. Zawahri, the analysts said. Mr. bin Laden, who has long played less of an operational role, appears to have little direct involvement. Officials said the training camps had yet to reach the size and level of sophistication of the Qaeda camps established in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. But groups of 10 to 20 men are being trained at the camps, the officials said, and the Qaeda infrastructure in the region is gradually becoming more mature. The new warnings are different from those made in recent months by intelligence officials and terrorism experts, who have spoken about the growing abilities of Taliban forces and Pakistani militants to launch attacks into Afghanistan. American officials say that the new intelligence is focused on Al Qaeda and points to the prospect that the terrorist network is gaining in strength despite more than five years of a sustained American-led campaign to weaken it. The intelligence and counterterrorism officials would discuss the classified intelligence only on the condition of anonymity. They would not provide some of the evidence that led them to their assessments, saying that revealing the information would disclose too much about the sources and methods of intelligence collection.

Time to send in the AC-130's or missile equipped drones to blast a few more herdsmen then
I saw the BBC report earlier on this. The General in charge of the border security getting flak about alleged border crossings by Al Qaida and Taliban fighters. Bit of a bloody cheek really seeing as the US, with all it's military might and high tech toys cannot even secure it's own borders
Reports of the ISI channeling money and arms to the fighters is curious seeing as they have always worked hand in glove with the CIA and MI6 in arming groups in the region.

Let me break this down easy for you, without sock puppets. That was their home, and foreigners invaded. What the hell else did you think they would do?

because American troops under no circumstances may cross into Pakistan unless specific orders are given by Pakistan.
