The Hindu Kush Mountain Range is the name for tthe dominant mountain range in Afghanistan. It takes in the The Paropamisus Mountains in the west and the Pamir Mountains in the east.From Captain's Quarters:
Rich Lowry with National Review is encouraged at the signs of tribal uprising against the Pakistan Taliban. The Captain’s Journal is far less encouraged. We have pointed out that Baitullah Mehsud specifically targeted tribal elders in his rise to power, killing some 600 elders after they spoke out against him. Mehsud has globalist intentions, and now the distinction between al Qaeda and the Tehrik-i-Taliban has been all but erased. The Taliban fighters shout to passersby in Khyber “We are Taliban! We are mujahedin! “We are al-Qaida!”
Philip Smucker recently observed that al Qaeda has essentially chosen Baitullah as their front man in Pakistan, and further observed that:
Most Afghanistan-Pakistan insurgent groups, led by Mahsud and Mullah Omar’s Afghan Taliban, have not officially adopted the “al-Qaeda” brand name, but they have essentially sworn their allegiance to bin Laden, say leading experts on the terror network. They claim that al-Qaeda has learned from the mistake of going into business under its own name in Iraq and it prefers, instead, to remain behind the scenes, protected by local gunmen on the one hand, but capable of influencing the fight against US and foreign “infidels” in South Asia on the other hand.

My Comment: The Hindu Kush Mountains is a perfect place to hide. If Al Qaeda is somewhere in Afghanistan/Pakistan, this is probably the region where they are.
