While the report largely focused on the activities of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, it also made a claim that TTP might merge with Al-Qaeda. The differences of orientation, limitations of Afghan Taliban regime and organisational aims and objectives point towards trajectory of distinct identity rather than prospects for merger.

Any such merger will cause an Al-Qaeda “affiliate” attacking a US ally and a neighbouring country. Hence, the prospects for TTP to continue its distinct course are greater than the prospects of it merging within Al-Qaeda.
