Pakistan

Pakistani troops retook Charbagh near Mingora in Swat; 14 of Fazlullah’s fighters were captured. The Interior Minister said the Swat operation will end shortly and polls will be held in the Taliban district. The Taliban attacked the Bajaur Scouts headquarters with rockets, while the tribes are holding a “peace jirga.”
