Pakistan's once little-known Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) region has steadily risen to international prominence following the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan. Of the seven tribal agencies that comprise the FATA, North and South Waziristan have become the Afghan Taliban's main sanctuary and training ground, and the nucleus of the Pakistani Taliban movement. The Pakistani Taliban plays a key enabling role in cross-border attacks on coalition and Afghan troops in Afghanistan, as well as ensuring that the region remains a critical haven for the Afghan Taliban and its foreign allies.
