Podudaran s ovim oštar porast domaćih nesigurnosti u Pakistanu je očita oživljavanja na toj teritoriji zemlje vrlo prijetnja Sjedinjenim Državama nastoji neutralizirati u Afganistanu: Al Qaeda i pridružena skupinama koji nastavljaju zemljište anti-zapadnih terorističkih napada. Despite years of effort and billions of dollars worth of resources, the estimated number of Al Qaeda suspects reported killed or captured in Pakistan - around 700 - has remained essentially unchanged since 2004.

"On je dogovoreno s ostalim vrh američke dužnosnike, koji vjeruju da je moguće buduće terorističkih napada na SAD domovinu vjerojatno potječe vjerojatno bi u tom području.
