#1  "There's going to be a civil war, " said Asfandyar Wali Khan, leader of the Awami National party, which runs the provincial government in NWFP. "It will be the people versus the Taliban."

How civil war? I thought the Taliban now contain so many foreigners and Punjabis that they are no longer truly part of the local people. And surely the provincial government, as an arm of Islamabad, doesn't exactly count as local people either. Or am I wrong?
