Taliban taking advantage of the distracted government.

Taliban....to avenge the earlier deaths?

Could be a local thing too. When it says the locals were Afghan nationals, it probably means the chinese types... The hazaras. They are not liked in NWFP. Natural enemies of the Pathans.

Why are Indians the first start a thread on something that happens in Pakistan. It's almost as though its like a factory where they constantly refresh the news page and try to get the info as quickly as possible.

I suggest you post a little on the weeks of demonstrations happenning in Assam which has left many people dead and a curfew has been imposed.

Oh wow, now you blame musharraf for this. What's the next thing you're gonna blame him for? Flies falling in your tea or your food? Get a life seriously. He is fighting exactly baboons like these who use their own version of islam to kill people, and here you're here blaming him.
