Baitullah Mehsud’s Taliban from South Waziristan attacked a police checkpoint in Tank. The Peshawar suicide bombing has “links with terrorists operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan™s troubled Waziristan region,” and was directed against anti-Taliban Pakistani informants. Punjab is on high alert for suicide bombers attacking military targets.
