But the militants, said the man, planned to occupy a strategic corridor that
stretched from Nangarhar province in Afghanistan through Pakistan’s Khyber
Agency and the Pakistani Balochistan area of Tutrbat all the way to Iranian
Balochistan.
The militants plan to establish a new regional alliance. In this regard,
Iranian Jundullah (Army of God) leader Abdul Malik Rigi is due to meet an
al-Qaeda emissary in the near future near a Pakistani Balochistan coastal town
to lay the foundation for joint regional operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Iran and India.
