The Taliban took credit for a suicide attack that killed seven people in Charsadda. The military killed 13 Taliban fighters in Swat and two more in Bajaur, and detained a senior Taliban suicide bomber recruiter in Islamabad. The leader of the Millat-e-Islamia was killed in Khairpur; the killing sparked riots in Karachi and Sindh.
