Pakistan

The Taliban kidnapped six Frontier Constabulary personnel in Swat, and banned political parties and bombed a boys’ school in Bajaur. Security forces killed three civilians while mortaring Taliban positions in South Waziristan, captured a would-be suicide bomber in Islamabad, and targeted Taliban bases in Jamrud in Khyber.
