The Taliban have taken control of most of Buner despite promising to withdraw. The NWFP government and the TNSM vowed to keep the Swat peace deal intact. The Taliban destroyed six NATO oil tankers in a bombing in Peshawar and beheaded two “US Spies” in North Waziristan. The Lahore police claimed India was behind the attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team and the police training center.
