Haqqani Network (merged thread)

[davidbfpo]

Prompted by the previous SWJ Blog article a "lurker" and SME has added that the Haqqani Network were forced out of their long established base in North Waziristan, by Pakistani Army action and relocated to the Khurram Agency, further north. Under some "guidance" from the Pakistani ISI.

Recently the network has sought permission to return to North Waziristan, but this has been denied by Pakistan. Those who have tried, invariably with forged documents, have been caught and returned.

At times drones have hit the Khurram Agency; apparently not as often as a few years ago.

Finally a small number of posts have been copied to here, from assorted threads and three small threads have been merged.
