The Pakistan government has sent troops to tackle Taleban militants who have advanced into a region just 100km (67 miles) from the capital, Islamabad.
Officials say the forces will protect government buildings in Buner district, where insurgents have begun patrolling the streets and mounting checkpoints.
As the troops moved into the region, insurgents launched an attack on their convoy, killing at least one soldier.
Meanwhile nine people have been killed in the Khyber region, officials say.
Local tribesmen told the BBC that they were killed by bombs dropped by the Pakistani air force, which was targeting militants in the neighbouring region of Orakzai.

I take it that this isn't the moderate wing of the Taleban. :whatever: Seriously this is a worrying development.

I swear to God he wants a rogue arab state with nukes.
Then he can capitulate to his bretheren and use the excuse that it was in the nations best interest.

Israel will be struck first, followed by us. After the ass-beating they got in Afghanistan..who knows, maybe we've become the priority.
Either way....the clock is ticking if we don't act.
