'Creeping Talibanisation' of NWFP feared
"Creeping" doesn't quite describe it. I'd go with "galloping," I think.Suicide bombers operating against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan and against targets in Pakistan have been claimed to be operating not far from Peshawar. A report published by the New York Times on Wednesday from correspondent Carlotta Gall, quotes diplomats and concerned residents as viewing the bombings as proof of a spreading Talibanisation. In Peshawar and other parts of NWFP, which abuts the tribal areas, residents say English-language schools have received threats, schoolgirls have been warned to veil themselves, music is being banned and men are told not to shave their beards.
