US advisers have been granted permission to accompany Pakistani troops into tribal areas to search for Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters, The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing senior Pakistani officials. The report said the advisers were expected to be operating in a largely lawless region near the Afghan border where the remnants of Al Qaeda and Taliban forces were believed to have taken refuge. According to the NYT, the agreement was struck after the seizure of documents and computer disks from a house in Faisalabad where Abu Zubaydah was arrested on March 27 during a joint American-Pakistani raid. The information seized in the raid provided evidence of an effort by Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters to regroup in the mountains along the Pak-Afghan border, using the tribal areas as a haven to avoid attack by US forces, the daily reported, quoting unnamed Pakistani officials.
