Pakistan

The PML-N has quit the government after its attempts to reinstate judges dismissed by President Musharraf failed. The provincial government of the Northwest Frontier Province has entered a cease-fire with Mullah Fazlullah’s Taliban in Swat. The Army deployed tanks in Darra Adam Khel after the Taliban closed the Indus Highway. The Taliban destroyed a electricity tower in Peshawar and issued a warning for NGOs to halt activity in Kohat. Pakistan has been readmitted to the Commonwealth.
