The takfiris (extremists) within al-Qaeda are driving policy to extend the current insurgency against the establishment in the North Waziristan and South Waziristan tribal areas of Pakistan. They intend a large-scale offensive that will either bring down the central government or force the government to support their cause. A strong coalition includes former officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces. The architect of military policy for this rebellion is an ex-captain of Pakistan's Special Services Group. A Saudi offer of a ceasefire with al-Qaeda for both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia had been rejected. The insurgency objective is nothing less than Islamabad, Musharraf is facing a fight to the 'death'.
