From Jihad Unspun
In South Waziristan, the US client Pakistan continued its operation against Zalikhel and Yargulkhel tribes on a smaller scale yesterday, with âonlyâ 28 homes destroyed however the destruction of more homes is scheduled. ... Secretary to Governor for Security Brigadier (Retd) Mahmud Shah told reporters that the fighting has been suspended as the local elders of tribes discuss among themselves how to resolve the issue. He said that 52 elders of different tribes were meeting, including some members from Zalikhel tribe. He said that due to the extensive amount of demolitions that are scheduled, more bulldozers are being called from all over the country. ....

The Pakistan army, in a confidence building measure, opened two roads leading to the area and allowed ambulances and doctors along with medications to enter. The Pakistani army is no longer releasing threatening statements as it was previously. It appears that they have now realized that the Mujahideen are well prepared for battle and are opting for the negotiations table.
| The mujahideen have decided they own that corner of Pakland, rather than Pakistan. They're assuming the Pak government will eventually go away and leave them to play with their guns and explosives and subvert people, while keeping other interested parties from leveling their mud forts and killing them. There's a very good chance they're correct. |
