Rumors persist that Swat Taliban leader Maulana Fazlullah was killed in a artillery barrage. The Taliban killed one security agent and kidnapped three in South Waziristan. Eleven mortars were fired at a military base in Peshawar. The Army may deploy to the Northwest Frontier Province district of Peshawar, Kohat, Hangu, and Dera Ismail Khan.
