#1 at least 15 to 18 militants including Tariq, a close aide of Fazlullah, were killed in the clashes.

Early last week Fazlullah essentially warned that the Security Forces blood would flow like a river. Then after a good thumpin he pledged to fight oncept this time he added the caveat Theres still time for reconciliation. More of his mooks found themselves shopping for virgins and lo and beholdceasefire. Now early this week a close aid and his boyz are toes up.

Moral of the story: If youre a close aid (you know#2s and the like), and if the Big Cheese talks about reconciliation that means its time to kiss your wife (or goat) on the forehead one extra time before work.

#3 An all-parties jirga has formed a group to talk to Maulana Fazlullah and the government to find a peaceful solution to the issue.

Sure. 50 or 60th time's the charm.
Make sure to bring the Big Drum this time so they knows ya mean business...
