Taliban cement rule, hard-line law after truce

Swat Pakistan

A truck full of soldiers and local residents, who fled their villages during a fierce fight between Islamic militants and security forces, return to their homes in Mingora, capital of the troubled Swat Valley, in Pakistan on Feb. 27, 2009. Taliban militants in Pakistan's Swat Valley have extended a cease-fire, strengthening a peace process that Western governments say risks granting a safe haven to extremists close to the Afghan border.
