Buner: Swat part deux?

Pakistan on 04 23rd, 2009

On Thursday, the government announcd that eight platoons of paramilitary troops have been sent to Pakistan’s Buner district, which has been infiltrated by the Taliban. Frontier Constabulary platoons have been dispatched to protect government buildings and bridges in Buner.
