This certainly sounds like a good thing , earlier today the Taliban were told to get out of Buner or face an attack ! now they are being attacked on two different sides , And are still being told they will be hit in Buner ! Though I am still skeptical , due to Pakistans track record of pushing the Taliban around a little then backing off ! but so far so Good !

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A military spokesman says fighter jets are attacking Taliban hide-outs in a district near the Pakistani capital in an apparent expansion of an offensive against the militants.
Maj. Nasir Khan says ground troops also are preparing to enter Buner district Tuesday.
Taliban from the neighboring Swat Valley alarmed the world when they recently entered Buner.
Buner and Swat are covered by a controversial peace deal between the government and the Swat militants.
Pakistani officials have warned the Swat militants to get out of Buner. The district is about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Islamabad.
The military this week also launched an offensive in Lower Dir, another area covered by the deal.
