Swat’s Maulana Fazlullah went underground after his Taliban forces conducted a suicide attack on paramilitary forces, killing 30. The Taliban destroyed five military checkpoints in Bajaur. The Taliban asked the military to withdraw from the town of Tank in South Waziristan. The trial against Lal Masjid leader Maulana Abdul Aziz has been suspended due to his “illness.”
