The Frontier Constabulary is regarded as a B team of the Taliban.

But a former colonial power whose policies left the Baluch people stateless, Britain -- along with half dozen U.S. instructors -- is now embarking on a plan to train the Islamist Frontier Constabulary,

There are as many as 43,000 Frontier Constabulary mercenaries posted in Baluchistan and they say they like to kill the Baluch because they are anti-Islam.

Britain also plans to deploy 24 army trainers at the camp for three years from August 2010, when construction work is scheduled to finish, according to a senior official at the British High Commission in Islamabad.

The British personnel will work with six American trainers at the camp, which is designed to house 550 people. It will train 360 Frontier Corps (FC) soldiers at a time, on 12-week courses, the official said.
