The Pakistani Taliban have visited Syria to set up a base and to assess “the needs of the jihad”, a Taliban official told the BBC.
He said the base was set up with the assistance of ex-Afghan fighters of Middle Eastern origin who had moved to Syria in recent years.
At least 12 experts in warfare and information technology had gone to Syria in the last two months, he said.
Their presence in the country is likely to have a sectarian motive.
Taliban factions feel that Sunni Muslims, who constitute a majority in Syria, are being oppressed by Syria’s predominantly Shia rulers.
Thousands of people have died in the year-long armed conflict in Syria between loyalists of the ruling Baath Party and those who want to overthrow it.
The Pakistani government has not commented on the allegations.
Mohammad Amin, a senior Taliban operative and “co-ordinator of the Syrian base”, told the BBC that the cell to monitor “the jihad” in Syria was set up six months ago.
He said the cell had the approval of militant factions both within and outside of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an umbrella organisation of militant groups fighting the Pakistani forces.
The cell sends “information and feedback” on the conflict in Syria back to Pakistan, he said. “They were facilitated by our friends in Syria who have previously been fighting in Afghanistan,” Amin said.
Their job is to “assess the needs of the jihad in Syria, and to work out joint operations with our Syrian friends”.
“There are dozens of Pakistani hopefuls in line to join the fighting against the Syrian army, but the advice we are getting at the moment is that there’s already enough manpower in Syria.”
In the past, militant fighters from Pakistan have often gone to fight in Central Asia and the Balkans.
Bring Packee s into Syria instead of Iranian men
Bring Pakee into syria instead of Saudi bastereds
Taliban can do this as backed by US.
ISI and with the help of Turkey, bringing shame for all pakistani around the world, ISI stop creating such groups which are tarnishing our image abroad.
BBC took 20 years to know that MQM terrorist leader had setup his base camp in London but found base camp of Pakistani Taliban in Syria with in six months.This is called use of super technology they possess.
Yes! non-Muslim Taliban should be kicked out from Pakistan and all over the world

The cancer is spreading.
Since the birth of Saudi Arabia in hands of England, France and America, they are involved in the spreading Hate, Illiteracy in the world.
Specially they are responsible to divide Muslim strength as per the Jews plans.
They are supporting non-Muslim militants like Taliban with Money and Training.
They are responsible of changing the concepts of real Islam with their foolish ideology
NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO RESTORE KAABA SHARIF FROM THESE ANTI MUSLIM SAUDIES.
