Pakistan

The Amjad Farooqi Group took credit for the assault on the Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. Six soldiers and four terrorists have been killed; surviving terrorists have taken more than 10 soldiers hostage. The Taliban killed two workers during an attack on a NATO supply convoy in Khuzdar and lobbed mortars at a Levies outpost in Landikotal. The government freed three Swedish al Qaeda suspects, including a former Guantanamo detainee.
