Take a look where Tora Bora is located: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Tora_Bora.JPG

At last week’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs press briefing, Maria Zakharova stated that
‘unidentified helicopters’ have been spotted transporting rebels and weaponry in Afghanistan.
Thanks to this support, the Afghan ISIS arm has been able to re-take a strategically important cave complex of Tora Bora.

A reminder, that the battle of Tora Bora (2001) took place between the forces of the United States
and Osama Bin Laden-led Al Qaeda faction, during which the US army, armed to the teeth,
failed to capture the guy living with one heater and one goat, in a cave (or so the official story goes.)
Bin Laden escaped across the border to Pakistan.

In the early 1980s, CIA’s Operation Cyclone had assisted the Mujahideen ‘freedom fighters’
in extending and shoring up the caves to use for resistance against the Soviets.
Evidently, the US arms different sides of the fight every few years,
depending on which side best serves their foreign policy objectives at the time.
The fight against terrorism in this sense, becomes the fight for international terrorism.

No where in Western media have we seen reports of said ‘unidentified military helicopters’.
To the contrary –
it is alleged that Russia is supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Despite the complete absence of an incentive for Russia to support a historical foe,
the public seems to have a very short memory.
** The term ‘Taliban’ is being used here interchangeably with ISIS,
given Afghanistan’s history of the CIA funded Mujahedeen and it’s affiliation to Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, ISIS.

==================

IMO
There are no coincidences. Hegemons are targeting Pakistan as the next problem/reaction/solution... like Syria...
going to fake 'rescue' N. Pakistan from ISIS... specifically the 'Balochistani Independence Movement'...
http://www.olivegreens.co.in/blog/balochistan-a-thorn-in-the-flesh-of-pakistan
which is almost a CARBON COPY of the Kurds....
and RIGHT next to Iran's Balochistan/Sistan province.

In short... Tora Bora is being set up as a covert staging area for ISIS/Separatist terror in Balochistan (Pakistan)

The 'uptick' is already evident...

Tora Bora captured? Taliban dispute ISIS claim

The Islamic State terror network claimed its fighters captured Usama bin Laden’s Tora Bora hideout in eastern Afghanistan, but the Taliban disputed the claim on Thursday.

ISIS released an audio recording on Wednesday saying its signature black flag was flying over the mountain range.

A Taliban spokesman denied ISIS was in control, claiming instead that the Taliban had pushed ISIS back from some territory the rival militants had taken in the area, The New York Times reported.

The cave complex was infamous for being Usama bin Laden’s hideout when he was on the run from U.S. coalition forces following the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the United States, for which he claimed responsibility. He fled from the cave to Afghanistan’s northeastern Kunar province, before crossing the border into Pakistan, according to the Al Qaeda captives in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.

U.S. Navy SEALs are credited with killing him in his hideout in Pakistan in 2011.

Meanwhile, a Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, told The Associated Press the Taliban had pushed ISIS back from some territory the rival militants had taken previously in the Tora Bora area.

Mujahid claimed more than 30 ISIS fighters were killed in the battle. He also added that U.S. airstrike on Taliban positions on Wednesday that killed 11 of its fighters had benefitted ISIS.

Earlier, Afghan officials said that fighting between ISIS and the Taliban, who had controlled Tora Bora, began on Tuesday, but could not confirm that ISIS captured the hideout.

Afghan Defense Ministry’s spokesman, Daulat Waziri did not say if ISIS was in complete control of Tora Bora but said Afghan forces killed five ISIS fighters in the Chaparhar district of eastern Nangarhar province and pushed them out of the region.

The area’s remote location makes it difficult to verify any of the claims.

Don't get 'confused'...
When it comes to money and covert funding of terror... Taliban & ISIS are 'interchangeable'
... it's a SINGLE crime syndicate for hire.
They're MERCENARIES who 'join' each other or kill each other (as we watch in Idlib and watched 'ping-pong' faux fighting w/ Turkey)
The POINT is Tora Bora is in ENEMY (CIA) hands, whether Taliban or ISIS... it doesn't matter...
as long as the 'Afgan Forces' guarding the complex are scattered.

Tora Bora described:
Tora Bora was variously described by the western media to be an "impregnable cave fortress"
housing 2,000 men complete with a hospital, a hydroelectric power plant, offices, a hotel, arms and ammunition stores,
roads large enough to drive a tank into, and sophisticated tunnel, and ventilation systems.[6]
This fortess at Tora Bora had been developed as a CIA-financed complex built for the Mujahedeen.

It is only 6 miles from the Pakistan border.

It's like this:
You 'Airstrike' them by day... (for Congress/CNN)
and 'Arm' them by night.
