Pakistan has long been accused by its neighbours India and Afghanistan, and western nations like the United States, and the United Kingdom of its involvement in terrorist activities in the region and beyond.
 Pakistan's tribal region along the border of Afghanistan has been claimed to be a "haven for terrorists" by western media and the United States Defense Secretary.
 According to an analysis published by the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings Institution in 2008, Pakistan was, "with the possible exception of Iran, perhaps the world’s most active sponsor of terrorist groups... aiding groups that pose a direct threat to the United States."
 Daniel Byman, an author, also wrote that, "Pakistan is probably 2008's most active sponsor of terrorism".
The 1989 to 1992 phase of the Afghan Civil War began after the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving the Afghan communist government to fend for itself against the Mujahideen.

 However, the civil war continued with infighting within the government, and from 1994 insurgents such as the Taliban attempting to bring down the new government which they accused of corruption.
 Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI, wanted the Mujahideen to establish a government in Afghanistan.
 The director-general of the ISI, Hamid Gul, was interested in an Islamic revolution which would transcend national borders, not just in Afghanistan and Pakistan but also in Central Asia.
 To set up the proposed Mujahideen government, Hamid Gul ordered an assault on Jalalabad-with the intent on using it as the capital for the new government Pakistan was interested in establishing in Afghanistan.

 He distinguished himself as an internationally sponsored insurgent fighter in the 1980s during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, including Operation Magistral.
 By 2004, he was directing pro-Taliban militants to launch a holy war in Afghanistan.
 Within Pakistan, Jalaluddin had a cordial relation with Pakistan but he did not act against the TTP, earning controversy though Pakistan saw him as a strategic asset who could mediate between the various factions.
 Jalaluddin retains considerable local popularity on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and he is the most experienced Islamist leader in the region.
 Steve Coll, author of "Ghost Wars", claims that Haqqani introduced suicide bombing in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.
