A Reuters exclusive  reports that Al Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban and the Pakistan Taliban are engaged in talks to figure out the direction of the militant movement.  They have also reported that there is a tremendous amount of the infighting within the TTP (Pakistan Taliban).  Reuters reports that long standing feud between the head of the TTP  Hakimullah Mehsud, and his deputy, Wali-ur-Rehman,  have now reached fever pitch. They cite sources as saying that Rehman has ordered militant fighters to assassinate  Meshud.  While Meshud claims that Rehman has received money from the Indian government.

This all come amid reports that “secret” talks with the TTP and the Pakistan security agencies.  The talks are supposedly reaching a crucial stage.
