Afghan camps may threaten Christians

Al-Qaeda has returned to Afghanistan and is re-establishing suicide bomber training camps which could prove a threat to Christians in Pakistan.

A new report for the UN Security Council also reveals that the Afghan Taliban is now paying monthly allowances to al-Qaeda fighters.

The Lindisfarne Centre for the Study of Christian Persecution says the al-Qaeda training camps in Eastern Afghanistan, where those suicide bombers are being schooled, also include members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), more commonly known as the Pakistani Taliban.
