UK Troops in Afghanistan say 60% of the Taliban They're Fighting are From WoT "Ally" Pakistan....

with friends like this who needs enemies.....

UK troops fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan have claimed that nearly 60 percent of the guerrillas they are fighting are Pakistanis.

Without disclosing their source of intelligence, the British troops said that they heard the guerillas speaking in Punjabi accents and had found Pakistani papers and telephone contacts on dead fighters.

UK troops say the ideologically driven young men consider their fighting role to be religious obligation or jihad.

Lieutenant Colonel Nick Borton, commanding officer of Battle group South, has said: "Our understanding is that the Madressahs of northern Pakistan are the major breeding ground that provide the bulk of brainwashed Taliban fighters."
