NOT well at all! Unless Pakistan’s plan was to have the Taliban start taking over their country.
Islamabad’s Interior Ministry on Wednesday said that the Taliban moved out of the troubled northwestern Swat Valley and were now in control of Buner district — only 100 km (60 miles) from Islamabad.
Members of a local tribal militia confronted the insurgents earlier this month when they started infiltrating the district.
However, the resistance subsided in following days in the face of reluctance on the part of government forces to stop the insurgents.
Also, local administration in the captured district noted that the insurgents were dramatically moving toward surrounding areas as well.
“They [the militants] are fast gaining territory and have established checkpoints and dug bunkers at strategic locations in the mountains,” said an official of the local administration in Buner district.
Taliban have already set up checkpoints, occupied mosques and have looted offices of non-governmental organizations in the volatile region.
Moreover, the militants ransacked several government offices triggering the official vehicles to drive away, sources saidPakistan’s government confirms that Taliban militants, armed with heavy weapons, have taken control of new areas near the capital Islamabad.
This is where appeasing terrorists and radical Jihadists leads. And the best news of all, Pakistan has nukes, what will our country do to prevent those falling into the hands of the Taliban? Another test for Obama.
