Pakistan

Pakistanis are fearful that NATO is building up forces across the border in Khost to attack in North Waziristan; the tribesmen vowed to defend their territory. Security forces captured a Tanzanian al Qaeda operative and two members of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in Multan. Seven were killed in clashes in Khyber between Lashkar-e-Islam and Ansar-ul-Islam. Five soldiers were wounded in a Taliban rocket attack in Dir.
