Pakistan

Pakistani forces killed 10 Taliban fighters wearing Frontier Corps uniforms in Swat, 25 fighters in Bajaur, and seven more in Mohmand. Eight civilians were killed by Pakistani military mortar fire in Swat. The Taliban murdered two “US spies” in North Waziristan. The Pakistani government will now refer to the Taliban as “miscreants.”
