The fact that Jihadistan has gradually become an empirical reality is borne out by the fate of Pakistan's efforts to return the region to its sovereignty. The turning point came in 2006 when President Pervez Musharraf, in Ashley J. Tellis' words, ordered 'major formations from the Army XI Corps and elite Special Services Group into the FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas)' ostensibly to root out the Taliban and Al Qaeda and remove them once and for all from Pakistani soil. The undertaking was a dismal failure, which cost the army over 600 lives. 'The core members of the Taliban and Al Qaeda leadership survived and remain active antagonists,' Tellis concludes.

Abu Khabab, via the US Rewards for Justice website. Al Qaeda has confirmed that Abu Khabab al Masri, the chief of the terror group's weapons of mass destruction program, was killed in an airstrike in South Waziristan. Khabab was one of the most wanted terrorists due to his experience, seniority, and expertise with bomb-making and chemicals and poisons. The US Rewards for Justice Program has a $5 million bounty out for the capture of Khabab. Al Qaeda posted a statement on the network of jihadi web forums announcing Khabab's death, Reuters reported . The statement was signed by Mustafa Abu Yazid, al Qaeda's senior leader in Afghanistan. Yazid said Khabab left behind a multitude of followers trained to strike at the West. The US military killed Khabab during a targeted strike on an al Qaeda safe house in the village of Zeralita in the Azam Warsak region of South Waziristan on July 28. At least three foreigner terrorists were reported among the six killed in the airstrike.

But the reports are unconfirmed and the Taliban denied Zawahiri was anywhere near the site of the attack. US intelligence believes the reports are not credible. Khabab is the third senior al Qaeda leader to have perished in Pakistan's lawless tribal regions. On May 14, Abu Sulayman Jazairi, a senior Algerian operative for al Qaeda’s central organization wh ...
