Over a hundred Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters who fled Pakistani army operations, are now hiding across the border in southeast Afghanistan. The fighters include Uzbeks, Chechens, Tajiks and Afghans.

It's not known if Pakistani forces are ready, on the other side of the border, to deal with the al Qaeda men trying to flee back into Pakistan.
