Meanwhile, The New York Times reports today that groups of Arab, Pakistani and Afghan militants allied with al-Qaeda have resumed running training camps in Pakistan. Unnamed officials told the paper that senior leaders of al-Qaeda based in Pakistan have re-established significant control over their network. One unnamed official told The New York Times that some within the Pentagon are advocating for American airstrikes against the camps inside Pakistan. But State Department officials say increased American pressure could undermine the military-led government of Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
