The decade long Soviet-Afghan War of the 1980s had turned this region into a hub
of militant activities with the repercussion being felt for the last thirty five years.
The global support to the Mujahideen encouraged thousands of „Holy Warriors‟
from all over the world to wage a holy war against the Soviets. The long and
loosely controlled border connecting Afghanistan with Pakistan and the colonial
set-up under the FCR (Frontier Crimes Regulation) in the tribal areas turned this
region into a safe-haven for the militants. The 9/11 turned those militants (now
Taliban) not only against the US but also agisnt the Pakistan army. This paper
will focus on the causes of the increased militancy in the Tribal Areas and in the
rest of the country.
