Backing remains murky
Hi teachers,
In Pakistan, local authorities began making arrests, though Shahzad's backing remains murky.
Does that mean those was controlling / supporting Shahzad remains unclear to the authorities so they couldn't make arrest of the source?
Thank you.

But they couldn't arrest the source.

Hi Avangi,
Thank you too.
When you say: Do you see the "source....."? Do you mean "believe", "think"? If so, then I think "the source" may mean "Taliban leaders" or "fanaticism" and they do have power over his followers.

Yes.
"How do you see X?" usually means "What is your opinion of/on/about X?" "What is your view on it?"
Do you see the Dodgers winning the Pennant this year? (reply) No. I don't see how they can.
