As the Afghanistan Government engaged the Taliban in talks, the United States assured India that it would not support a power-sharing arrangement between Kabul and the militants, Dawn quoting a WikiLeaks cable release reported on December 4. A cable released by WikiLeaks shows that US Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke told visiting Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao in January 2010 that the Taliban would not be included in any power arrangement. The Indian foreign secretary had sought US pressure on Pakistan to break its alleged ties with terrorist groups and to permit Afghanistan’s economic links with India to grow. “During the meeting Mr Holbrooke said that some of the anxiety stems from confusion between reintegration and reconciliation,” the cable notes.

Saudi Arabia is the key source of funding for radical Islamist outfits including al-Qaeda , the Taliban, Hamas and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), according to a United States (US) diplomatic cable leaked by WikiLeaks, on December 5, reports Times of India."Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," said the document, an assessment from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dated December 30, 2009. "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban, LeT, and other terrorist outfits, including Hamas, which probably raise million of dollars annually from Saudi sources, often during Hajj and Ramadan," the cable revealed. It said that the Saudis had made "significant progress" under US pressure to deal with the issue, especially disrupting al-Qaeda’s sources of money in Saudi Arabia. However, it added, "Riyadh has taken only limited action" to interrupt the flow of money to Taliban and LeT linked outfits which have launched attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

The anti-Taliban (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) lashkars (tribal militia) threatened to withdraw their support to the Government and Police if their demands were not met within 10 days. Adezai anti-Taliban lashkar chief Dilawar Khan said that chiefs of all the three anti-Taliban lashkars have decided in a joint meeting that they will withdraw support to the Police and Government if the latter did not fulfil promises made to them within 10 days. He said that the Government had promised arms, ammunition and food for the militias, which didn’t materialise. Neither did the promised compensation package for heirs of the lashkars’ members killed in fighting with the militants.

Declaring significant progress in disrupting al Qaeda and combating the Taliban, US President Barack Obama said on December 16 said that the US will start withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan in July 2010 as promised, reports Daily Times. He still warned of sobering days, saying the war will remain a “very difficult endeavour”. Assessing the war one year after he ordered a major increase in troops, Barack Obama said the goal is not to defeat every threat to Afghanistan’s security or to build up the nation. Rather, he said, the US continues to shed blood in the war to dismantle the al Qaeda network and push back the Taliban. “We are on track to achieve our goals,” Barack Obama said from the White House.

A US military commander says there is no practical way to seal Afghanistan’s vast border with Pakistan and stop all Taliban fighters from slipping through, so troops are focusing on defending vulnerable towns and fighting insurgents on Afghan soil, Daily Times quoting US commander Colonel Viet Luong reported on December 28. US Army commander Colonel Viet Luong, who oversees US forces in a section of eastern Afghanistan that includes the Khost province, said that “to secure the border in the traditional sense” would “take an inordinate amount of resources.” He said it also would also require far more cooperation from the tribes inside Pakistan who often provide Taliban safe passage.

Rival militant outfits on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border have increasingly been teaming up in raids against United States (US) and allied forces, Indian Express reported on December 29. New intelligence assessments from the region assert that militant factions now are setting aside their historic rivalries to behave like “a syndicate,” joining forces in ways not seen before. After one recent attack on a remote base in eastern Afghanistan, a check of the dead insurgents found evidence that the militants were from three different factions - the Quetta Shura Taliban of Mullah Muhammad Omar; the network commanded by the Haqqani family and militants loyal to the Hekmatyar clan, military officials said. An unnamed US military official said it was “a wake-up call” to find evidence, after the attack on the forward operating base, that the terrorists were partisans from three factions with long histories of feuding,.
