Pakistan has long been accused by neighbour India, and western nations like the United States,and the United Kingdom of its involvement in terrorist activities in India and Afghanistan.
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 writes that, "Pakistan is probably today's most active sponsor of terrorism".
