Pakistan

A curfew has been imposed in Hangu after the Taliban lifted a siege of a police station. Five Pakistanis were killed during clashes between Lashkar-e-Islam and Ansar-ul-Islam in Khyber while five members of Lashkar-e-Islam were released from government custody. The Army will begin withdrawing from Swat in August. Six Pakistanis were killed in landmine attacks in Kurram.
