Equipped with rocket launchers and Kalashnikov rifles, the Taliban, aged between 15 and 20, have taken positions in the surroundings hills and roads of Dara Bazaar, while khasadars have restricted their movement to their checkposts. Senator Abdur Raziq and MNA Dr Nasim from Darra neither denied nor announced their support for the Taliban. Sources told Daily Times that the government had started moving the FC and military to Dara Adamkhel to take control of the area. Senator Raziq told reporters on a visit to the area that the Taliban had formed a "reformative organisation against anti-social elements and un-Islamic activities". Dr Nasim told Daily Times that they had started negotiations to resolve deadlock between Taliban and political administration. | |

#1 If the talibunnies are truly "confined to their checkposts", this is a great time to use napalm to clear them out. I'm beginning to believe we need something the size of Global Hawk, very stealthy, with the capacity to carry a pair of napalm canisters. Let them swoop down on these targets at night, drop their weapons, and return to their base (NOT in Afghanistan) for another load. Global Hawk has the range to do this from Diego Garcia. |
