Pakistan: Military Operation In Buner

Pakistan: Military Operation In Buner
(NSI News Source Info) April 29, 2009: Pakistani troops took control of the key town of Daggar, the headquarters of Buner district, a day after launching a major ground and air assault against Taliban militants. The operation in Buner has been mounted to stem Taliban efforts to encroach into regions beyond Swat.
In February, the government agreed that Islamic sharia law could be enforced in Swat and its surrounding districts in the Malakand region in a deal aimed at ending two years of rebellion during which followers of radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah beheaded opponents and torched girls'. Pakistani army trucks carrying cannons and armored vehicles for the military operation against the Taliban arrive in the Umar Abad area outside Buner district.
