Some in Qaeda Leave Pakistan for Somalia and Yemen

American officials are confirming this statement that some fighters in swat territories are now going to somalia and yEMAN ,If we compare both states Somalia is failure state that bears some resemblance to Afghanistan before the 9/11.And if we see Yeman's govt exist trying to combat the millitants.It will be very small movement and top executive of Al-Quaida Osama bin laden and Ayman al-Zawahri are considering a move from thier refuge in the pakistani tribul areas.

But in the tribal areas of Pakistan, Qaeda and Taliban forces have drawn for protection on Pashtun tribes with whom they have deep familial and tribal ties. A move away from those areas could expose Qaeda leaders to betrayal, while communications among militants in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen have created a new opportunity for American intelligence to zero in on insurgents who gave up many electronic communication devices shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks to avoid detection.

A senior Obama administration official attributed some of the movement to “the enormous heat we’ve been putting on the leadership and the mid-ranks” with Predator strikes, launched from both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Mr. Obama’s strategy so far has been to intensify many of the strikes begun under the Bush administration.

“There are indications that some Al Qaeda terrorists are starting to see the tribal areas of Pakistan as a tough place to be,” .”

But American officials say there is evidence of a shift. “What really has us worried is that they’re communicating with each other much more — Al Qaeda in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen,” the senior military officer said. “They’re asking, ‘What do you need? Financing? Fighters?’ ”

The C.I.A. says its drone attacks in Pakistan have disrupted Al Qaeda’s operations and damaged the group’s senior ranks. American officials say that strikes have killed 11 of the top 20 Qaeda leaders in the past year. Here president of pakistan has said some month before that no Osama in tribal side .He has died and now lewan ,director c.i.a said that he is in pakistan.Now this two different statement will create a new situation as pakistan wants to defend her land by own power and U.S.A WANTS JOINT OPERATION,which pakistani people will never accept it .Now ,for the favour of Talibans,u are seeing no voice is in pakistan.SO usa should not do such decision which pakistani nation cant accept as no one can compromise on soverignty of country and pakistan is atomic nuclear state ,knows to work against terrorism.
