Pakistan has moved over one lakh troops from its borders with India, thinning the lines, to bolster its campaign against Taliban and other militants on its restive border with Afghanistan. The Pentagon report to the US Congress said that, the mass shifting of troops is an acknowledgement of the fact that terrorism and internal insurgency were posing more threat to Pakistan now. The Pentagon report, however, did not specify the regions from where the troops had been pulled out, but said it estimated that more than 1 lakh 40,000 Pakistani forces were now taking part in the ongoing offensive against the Taliban in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal region, known as FATA. The Pentagon report said that there was a broad syndicate of extremist groups operating in the AfPak region with multiple short and long term goals. The report identified the groups as al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban and Lashkar-e Taiba which it said threatened security of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and elsewhere. The three major groups include the Quetta Shura Taliban, Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, and the Haqqani Network.
