Pakistan

NWFP Governor Jan Orakzai is advising the Pashtun jirga (more on Orakzai.) Interior Minister Sherpao defended the Bajaur strike to parliament but did not say who actually fired the shot (we said the U.S. did on the day the news broke.) Pakistan has successfully test fired the Hataf-IV ballistic missile, with a range of 420 miles.
