Fate of Buner?

Pakistan deployed paramilitary troops to northwestern districts infiltrated by Taliban militants as global concern mounted over Islamabad's ability to rein in the militants. The extremists patrolled the streets of Buner district, about 100 km outside the capital, warning residents not to engage in ‘un-Islamic’ activity and barring women from public places, officials and witnesses said.
