Taliban Refocusing, or Just Running out of Options? - (Agit Prop from Taliban Spokesman)
[ Read between the lines and understand that Syed generally puts forth what AQ wants him to. Some truth is found in these articles because Agit prop can’t stand up without a skeleton of facts. From my reading the Taliban is refocusing on Pakistan, and perhaps trying to make a stand in the Khyber Agency, more likely we will see a terror campaign in Khyber aimed at interdicting N-S supply.]
This will not be the case, according to Asia Times Online’s interaction with Taliban guerrillas over the past few weeks. But instead of taking on foreign forces in direct battle in the traditional hot spots, the Taliban plan to open new fronts as they are aware they cannot win head-on against the might of the US-led war machine.
