BUSH REGIME GROOMS NEW MILITANT GROUP TO GIVE US TROUBLE A FEW YEARS

[The leader is familiar with the routine having been with the Taliban
earlier]

ABC NEWS BLOTTER - A Pakistani tribal militant group responsible for a
series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran has been secretly
encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005, U.S. and
Pakistani intelligence sources tell ABC News. The group, called
Jundullah, is made up of members of the Baluchi tribe and operates out
of the Baluchistan province in Pakistan, just across the border from
Iran. . . Tribal sources tell ABC News that money for Jundullah is
funneled to its youthful leader, Abd el Malik Regi, through Iranian
exiles who have connections with European and Gulf states. Jundullah has
produced its own videos showing Iranian soldiers and border guards it
says it has captured and brought back to Pakistan. The leader, Regi,
claims to have personally executed some of the Iranians. "He used to
fight with the Taliban. He's part drug smuggler, part Taliban, part
Sunni activist," said Alexis Debat, a senior fellow on counterterrorism
at the Nixon Center and an ABC News consultant who recently met with
Pakistani officials and tribal members.
