A Waziri tribal leader said Mullah Nazir would sit out the fighting in South Waziristan; Nazir denied the report. The military killed 23 Taliban in Swat and moved troops to the border of Afghanistan’s Helmand province. The Taliban wounded 37 civilians in a suicide attack on a bus used by a nuclear facility in Rawalpindi, two policemen in an IED attack in Peshawar, and two civilians in a grenade attack in Dera Ismail Khan.
