There two differing sects of Uzbeks (and to a lesser extent Chechens) operating in the Pak border region -

One group is loyal to AQ/UBL/Taliban (IMU - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan )....The other is not as much. This group is the Islamic Jihad Group (IJG) -

The latter group is the one which has been targeted by the Taliban / Pak Gov't over the last several months....(mainly because they believe in regime change for Pakistan first...before worrying about the infidels (NATO) in Stan and elsewhere....

Where as the leader of the IMU sits on Mujahideen Shura Council and remains extremely loyal to AQ/UBL.
