The Taliban killed the commanding general for Swat, a regimental commander, and a soldier in an IED attack in Swat, two soldiers in attacks in North Waziristan, and three members of a pro-government militia in Bajaur. The Taliban also bombed dozens of NATO oil tankers in Hub. The government said the Army would withdraw from the Malakand Division starting next month.
