Hindutva Papers?
Comemon guys - atleast read the post before passing judgment on it.
The article is from The Telegraph, which I believe is published from the UK.
Wikipedia is indeed a great resource if you understand how it works. A lot of people complain its not credible since anybody can edit it. True, but then all you have to do is check the sources - wikipedia does not allow original research - whatever you write has to be backed by third sources...
Astonishing. Is that desperation speaking?
You want to "get rid" of the AQ by sending them to Kashmir? You think you are going to "get rid" of the AQ by letting them spread into a wider area, by attaching yet another "cause" to them, thus making them far stronger?

Several conflicting news reports:
"The News" reports that the Taliban have pulled out of Buner. Indian Express reports that Taliban are enforcing Sharia in Bajaur and consolidated their hold in Buner.

^third eye, it seems that they are not even trying to contain it.
The most obvious way to contain it is to station troops in the areas surrounding SWAT valley, but even that basic step has not been taken. It is very strange to me - almost as if they want the Taliban to take over.
Sorry Srivatsa but I just cannot make myself believe that. Pakistani Army is the local army. They are not some supposedly ignorant Americans who cannot distinguish between the locals and the militants.
Cross fire ? The Taliban are taking over the village and you are worried about Cross Fire...
Guys, I'm not too sure about the kind of weapons being used in the militancy. However, There is a huge illegal arms manufacturing industry in Pakistan, contrary to what Agnostic is saying.
Here is an old article from 2003 about arms industry in the autonomous region:
