Pakistan

A German who was with “pro-Taliban tribals in Pakistan’s Waziristan area” has been arrested and charged “with being an intelligence agent.” A jirga has convened to settle the fighting between Uzbek terrorists and a pro government tribe in Waziristan. A ban on shaving has been instated in Lower Dir in the NWFP. The U.S. does not have an outstanding warrant for Taliban commander Mullah Obaidullah.
