Fighting for Bin Laden
(60 minutes) Last year, Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi made an extraordinary reporting trip for FRONTLINE that led to the award-winning film Behind Taliban Lines.

Pakistan is supposed to be an ally in the war against the Taliban and al Qaeda, but U.S. soldiers fighting along the border complain that Pakistan's army supports the militants.

The Wikileaks war logs, released in 2010, contain references to the CIA's private army in Khost. They fire mortars at Taliban and al Qaeda targets in Pakistan. With the help of drones -"shadow coverage" -they ambush and kill insurgent fighters crossing the border.

there will never be a taliban comeback in 2005,2006 if the taliban were not supported by pakistan. The thing about pakistan is they support taliban but also will tell US that they are partners in the war on terror. Shame on the US for being Duped by pakistan.
