A terrorist assault team killed 16 policemen and seven intelligence officials in a complex suicide and conventional attack in Lahore. The Taliban reportedly took credit for the attack. The military killed 12 Taliban fighters in Swat and killed 15 more in Waziristan. The government offered rewards for the capture of 21 Swat Taliban leaders. Six Taliban fighters were detained in Mardan and Swabi, and three more in Islamabad.
