The regional commander of North Waziristan is bucking up for a fight.
Casualties are between 12-60+ according to the army and Taliban respectively, the Pakistani Taliban is a bit more reliable than the Afghani Taliban in casualty reports.
The North Waziri raghead in command also demanded the army stops operations in Buner, which indicates there are still competing interests in the region... I suppose it has gone from Taliban control to contested and losing to the army. |
