The new, sleeker terrorist training paradigm has meant increased recruitment for the al-Qaida-associated groups, several of which are tolerated and even relied upon for military support by Pakistan's government. The result, in the words of one senior U.S. official, has been camps that are "flourish[ing] as never before," even while Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has been portrayed as an ally in the fight against terrorism. One FBI official said the policing of these groups has become "exponentially harder than it was even just a few years ago."
