Waziristan is in the eye of the storm since 2001. After the US
invasion of Afghanistan and the overthrow of the Taliban
government in 2002, Al-Qaeda and Taliban elements slipped
into this region. The existing ground realities like terrain,
tradition, administrative system, lack of political power,
religious feelings, and socio-economic deprivation prevalent
in Waziristan provided favourable and feasible ground for the
rise and spread of Talibanization. The Pakistani troops moved
into FATA to expel foreigners and check their further
infiltration into the Pakistani tribal land. Military actions
developed a sense of organization among the local Taliban in
order to protect their friends and fight defensive jihad in
Waziristan and hence Taliban groups emerged. NUMBER of
groups emerged, and some prominent groups are Naik
Muhammad Group, Abdullah Mehsud Group, Baitullah
Mehsud Taliban Commandos, Mullah Nazir Group, Jalal-UdDin Haqani Group, Hafiz Gulbahadur Group. In 2007 a
coherent group, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) came on
the horizon. Soon a split occurred in TTP and Turkistan
Baitanni Group and Abdullah Shaheed Group headed by Zain
Ud Din stood against TTP. These groups remain dominant
and have established their own regulation and Sharia in their
area of influence.
