Pakistan

Ten Taliban and 21 civilians were reported killed in fighting in Swat. The Taliban in the Muzaffargarh district in Punjab ordered women to wear veils or acid would be poured on their faces and ordered “un-Islamic” businesses to shut down. The Taliban killed a female “US spy” in North Waziristan and reoccupied a TV booster station in Bajaur. The Taliban shura condemned this week’s US airstrike in South Waziristan.
