Pakistan

Fight continues in Darra Adam Khel as the Indus Highway remains closed due to Taliban attacks. A soldier was killed in a mortar and rocket attack on a check post in Bajaur. During peace talks in Sawt, the Taliban distributed pamphlets asking the government, military, and people of Pakistan to join hands with the Taliban against the United States. Maulana Abdul Aziz, the former leader of the Red Mosque, was granted bail in 26 of 27 cases.
