Introduction ix This chaos within the country was most evident in the Swat region, where extremists and government forces engaged in fierce battles. By 2011, the situation reached a new low as Osama bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad and U.S. bombers accidently killed Pakistani troops close to the Afghan border. American officials openly called into question the Pakistani authorities’ complicity with regional terrorist elements. The struggle does indeed seem to be never-ending as the Pakistan Tali- ban and now ISIS are engaged in trying to ferment chaos within the coun- try. As a nuclear state in one of the world’s most vital and volatile regions, Pakistan is and will remain a centerpiece of U.S. efforts to combat global terrorism. No easy fix is within reach and success in promoting stability within the country remains distant.
