Pakistan

The bodies of three soldiers were found in South Waziristan a day after Baitullah Mehsud threatened to kill three soldiers a day if troops are not withdrawn and 10 of his subordinates are not released. A taped message from Addul Aziz Ghazi called for sharia law and “sacrifice” was broadcast at the reopening of the Red Mosque.
