Pakistan

While the Pakistani government continues to claim the offensive against the Uzbeks demonstrates the success of the Waziristan Accord, Ismail Khan explains the fighting is due to an internecine tribal war between the Taliban and Uzbeks. Maulana Abdul Aziz will start the ‘shariat court™ at the Lal Masjid mosque in Islamabad on Friday. The government does not plan on standing up to Aziz.
