Militant Groups Turn on Each Other Near Afghanistan-Pakistan Border
[Times-UK] Jeremy Page - For the first time since 2001, the Waziri tribesmen in Pakistan who probably harbored bin Laden and remain loyal to the Taleban are fighting against the foreign militants in their midst. In the past two weeks an estimated 250 people have been killed in fighting between the tribesmen and militants, mainly from Uzbekistan. A council of tribal elders in South Waziristan is said to have declared jihad (holy war) against the Uzbeks.
