Pakistan

The Pakistani government sent a 21 man ‘peace delegation’ to negotiate with Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan. “Send us soldiers: NATO soldiers,” said a Pakistani Pashtun tribal leader, who said the ISI is arming and supporting the Taliban. The Afghan Army fired at a Pakistani military post in Mohmand agency, which triggered skirmishes.
