Taliban militants attacked a security checkpost in the northwestern Orakzai tribal region, killing one paramilitary soldier and wounding five, local officials said.
In a retaliatory attack, eight militants were killed and 13 wounded.
There was no independent confirmation of the report. The Taliban often dispute official casualty figures.
Orakzai is one of the most lawless areas in Pakistan’s northwest tribal region, which is made up of seven districts near the Afghan border.

Another official said they had no details about the kidnappers.

Pakistani kills her children in Texas
First thought , Honor Killing , Second thought , Crazy ass Pakistani !
Dawn.com
DALLAS: A Pakistani-born mother accused of strangling her two young children told an emergency operator she killed them because they were autistic and she wanted “normal kids,” according to a tape released Wednesday.
Irving police released the recording after Saiqa Akhter was charged with one count of capital murder in the strangling of her 5-year-old son, Zain Akhter, at the family’s apartment Monday night. Police spokesman David Tull said another capital murder charge is pending in the slaying of her 2-year-old daughter, Faryaal Akhter, who died Tuesday night.
Police say the mother called emergency services after attacking the children. In the recording, the woman identifies herself as Saiqa Akhter and repeatedly tells the operator she killed her two children, describing how she first tried to poison them, then later strangled them with some type of wire. At one point during the recording, the woman hangs up and the dispatcher calls her back.
“I killed them. I killed both of them,” she told the operator. Later, she explained that both children were lying motionless on the bed in the master bedroom.
“They are not doing anything. They are just blue and they are not taking any breaths and ... their heart is not beating,” she said.
She told the operator she initially tried to poison the children with bathroom cleaner but they refused to drink it. When that didn’t work, “I used a wire on their necks,” she said.

Pakistan: 75% are Muslims first, Pakistanis second.
Makes you wonder what percentage of American Muslims feel the same way?
From The Times of India:
A British Council’s report has shockingly revealed that an overwhelming three quarters of people in Pakistan consider themselves as Muslims first and Pakistani’s second.
“Only 10% have faith in national or local government, the courts or police, while three quarters see themselves as Muslims first, Pakistani second, compared to just 14% who see themselves as primarily a citizen of Pakistan,” the Daily Times quoted the report, as saying.

New Taliban group slams Baitullah
It does not matter why , But this Is Just Hilarious to me ! when the people of Pakistan turn on the Taliban that is to be expected , when the Taliban turns on the Taliban ! Oh Boy I can't stop laughing ! How I would love to see Baitullah's face right now !
Dailytimes....
LAHORE: Three Taliban groups in South Waziristan have formed a new anti-Baitullah Mehsud alliance, with Ikhlas Khan alias Waziristan Baba as its chief, reported a private TV channel on Wednesday.
According to the channel, the groups – Turkistan Bathni, Haji Tehsil Khan Wazir and Ikhlas Khan Mehsud factions – have named the alliance Abdullah Mehsud group. The new group has already established offices in Gomal, Umar Adda, Jandola, Pang, and Sheikh Autar areas of South Waziristan.
Waziristan Baba, 42, believes that Baitullah was behind the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. He said he would avenge the killings of innocent people who fell victim to attacks launched by Baitullah. “Those who destroy hospitals and schools and kill our brothers and sisters are not our well-wishers,” he said.
The alliance comes after Baitullah assassinated archrival Qari Zainuddin – who was gunned down by one of his own bodyguards. Zainuddin had been urging tribesmen to rise up against Baitullah’s TTP.
The TTP chief and his followers have said that anybody working against the group would meet a similar fate.

General rules out talks with Swat Taliban
‘This time it has been decided to take the operation to its logical conclusion aimed at eliminating the terrorists,’ he said.
And it is About Time ! Now just keep up the Pressure !
Dawn.com....
KHWAZAKHELA: Major-Gen Sajjad Ghani, who is leading the ongoing military offensive in the upper part of the valley, ruled out any possibility of talks with militants.
‘Today they stand isolated, not only in the valley but also at the national scene. I think this is a big achievement of the government as well as the military,’ military spokesman Maj-Gen Athar Abbas said.
Maj Ghani said the military was determined to eliminate the Taliban and ruled out the possibility of any talks or a ceasefire with the militants.
‘This time it has been decided to take the operation to its logical conclusion aimed at eliminating the terrorists,’ he said.
Gen Ghani said civilian casualties were ‘less than double figures’ in areas under his command.
He said two major militant strongholds had been secured in upper Swat and people who had fled the area would soon be asked to return to their homes.

U.S. Afghan surge could push militants into Pakistan
I would think that this would be a good thing ? With all that is going on in Pakistan , does it not seem like a good Idea to give these retards a bit of a squeeze play ?
....
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. military offensive in southern Afghanistan could push Taliban fighters into Pakistan, whose troops are already struggling to combat militants, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Thursday.
The comments by Admiral Mike Mullen raised the prospect that Pakistan, waging battles with militants who have forced about 2 million people from their homes, could face even greater turmoil in the months ahead.
The United States is pouring thousands of troops into Afghanistan this year to try to reverse gains by a resurgent Taliban, particularly in its southern heartland.
Mullen, the most senior U.S. military officer, said the United States had a clear national security interest in taking on the Taliban.
"They want Afghanistan back. We can't let them or their al Qaeda cohorts have it. We can't permit the return of the ... very same safe havens from which the attacks on 9/11 were planned and resourced," Mullen said.
"Yet we can't deny that our success in that regard may only push them deeper into Pakistan," he told the U.S. Senate's Foreign Relations Committee.
Pakistani army says captures Taliban stronghold
Man I love hearing that the Taliban are being spanked around by the Pakistani Military !
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani soldiers have captured the main Taliban
stronghold in a district 100 km (60 miles) from the capital in heavy
fighting in which 80 militants were killed, the military said on
Wednesday.
Fighting in the Swat valley and the neighboring districts of Buner
and Dir has forced about 1.5 million people from their homes in
addition to about 550,000 people displaced earlier.
The United States has offered Pakistan $110 million to help the
displaced and said it was trying to redress 30 years of "incoherent"
U.S. policy toward the nuclear-armed country.
The military said security forces had captured the village of Sultanwas in Buner district, where the Taliban had built a stronghold complete with concrete bunkers.
"Security forces cleared Sultanwas last night after intense clashes.
Reportedly 80 militant terrorists were killed," military spokesman
Major-General Athar Abbas told a briefing. One soldier was killed and
nine wounded, he said.

Pakistan says army will eliminate "terrorists"
....
MINGORA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan's government ordered the army to eliminate militants on Thursday, setting the stage for a major offensive against Taliban fighters battling security forces in a northwestern valley.
The government's handling of the Swat valley has become a test of its resolve to fight a growing Taliban insurgency that has alarmed the United States.
President Asif Ali Zardari, in Washington for talks, assured U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday of Islamabad's commitment to defeating al Qaeda and its allies.
Security forces used jets and helicopters to pound Taliban positions in Swat, 130 km (80 miles) from Islamabad, as thousands of civilians took advantage of a break in a curfew to flee.
With hundreds of thousand of people already displaced by fighting, aid groups said the new exodus of tens of thousands was intensifying a humanitarian crisis.
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said in a televised address the militants were trying to hold the country hostage at gunpoint.
"Decisive steps have to be taken," Gilani said.
"In order to restore honor and dignity of our homeland and to protect the people, the armed forces have been called in to eliminate the militants and terrorists."

Karzai: Taliban gains in Pakistan threaten peace in Afghanistan
Sounds like somebody has pulled their head out of their ass ! I know it is just talk but , really it is the truth ! You can not stop the Taliban or Al Qaida unless you can go into Pakistan ! That is where they are hiding ! that is where you must go ! It is time for Zardari to suck it up and give the go ahead !
....
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Afghanistan's president Tuesday praised U.S. plans to provide more civilian help to his country, and expressed hope that the country become less dependent on international partners in coming years.
But President Hamid Karzai -- in Washington this week along with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to meet with U.S. leaders -- stressed that Afghanistan's stability depends on whether Taliban strongholds in neighboring Pakistan are confronted.
U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke "had the best remark that I've ever heard from a U.S. official," Karzai said. "He said no matter how economically powerful Afghanistan is or becomes, no matter how effective a government Afghanistan has, no matter how powerful an army and the security institution of Afghanistan is, unless the sanctuaries of our neighbors, the training grounds of our neighbors, go away, Afghanistan will not be stable or peaceful."
Addressing the re-emergence of Taliban militants, who were ousted from power by a U.S.-led coalition after the September 11 attacks on the United States, Karzai said, "We did not address the question of sanctuaries in time," a reality, he said, that hurts Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"We must seek from Pakistan a very clear moving away from whatever linkage that there may be with radical forces or the use of radicalism. Unless we do that, we will continue to be bogged down. We will continue to suffer," Karzai said.

Pakistan battles Taliban
No , Mister Taliban spokesperson , Pakistan is not trying to please us !
But they are trying to rid Pakistan of you !
If they were trying to please us you would be incapable of talking right now !
But they are trying to rid Pakistan of you !
If they were trying to please us you would be incapable of talking right now !
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani forces battled Taliban fighters on Monday as the militants denounced the army and government as U.S. stooges and said a peace pact would end unless the government halted its offensive.
The February pact and spreading Taliban influence have raised alarm in the United States about the ability of nuclear-armed Pakistan -- important in efforts to stabilize Afghanistan -- to stand up to the militants.
In the Buner valley, 100 km (60 miles) northwest of the Pakistani capital, security forces backed by helicopter gunships and artillery attacked militants in three hamlets on Monday, residents and security officials said."There's been heavy firing going on since morning. It's very scary. Troops are using heavy artillery and gunships," resident Nasir Khan told Reuters by telephone.
A military spokesman said seven militants, including a commander, were killed. One soldier was killed and three wounded.
The militants were also using about 2,000 villagers as human shields, the military said.
Amid mounting concern at home and abroad, security forces launched an offensive to expel militants from Buner and another district just over a week ago.
About 180 militants have been killed, according to the military, although there has been no independent confirmation of that casualty estimate.
A Taliban spokesman in Swat said elements in the military and the government were trying to sabotage the peace process to please the United States.Saturday, May 2, 2009
Heavy fighting claims up to 60 Taliban
like I said earlier , as long as the Taliban are dropping like flies , it's a good thing !
....
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 2 (UPI) -- Heavy fighting in the Taliban-held areas of Pakistan's northwest have resulted in the deaths of 55 to 60 militants, government officials said Saturday.
Government troops that retook a strategic city in the Buner Valley this week were continuing to fight for the surrounding strategic high ground as Taliban fighters used a variety of powerful weapons against them, the Voice of America reported.
The militants were aiming anti-aircraft guns bolted to trucks as well as mortars and improvised explosive devices against Pakistani soldiers, Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas told the broadcaster.
"Fierce fighting took place at the northern area of Ambela Pass," Abbas said. "The forces came across a lot of (improvised explosive devices), prepared suicide vehicles, suicide motorcycles, individual suicide bombers and a group of 70 to 80 militants occupying the heights of Ambela Pass."
VOA said more than 100 Taliban militants have been reported killed since the Pakistani push in the North-West Frontier Province began last weekend.
I believe the toll is much Higher , anybody been keeping track ?
Pakistani forces kill 16 Taliban
The good news keeps on coming in ! regardless of who is doing it the Taliban are dropping like Flies !
....
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces killed 16 Taliban militants after coming under attack in a volatile tribal region on the Afghan border on Saturday, the military said.
The clash in the Mohmand tribal region, bordering Afghanistan's eastern province of Kunar, came as security forces battled into the fifth consecutive day to take control of a strategic valley in the neighboring Malakand division.
Over 60 militants stormed a post of paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) in a predawn attack in the Spin Tangi area of Mohmand and killed two soldiers.
"Our soldiers successfully repulsed the attack and killed 16 militants," a military spokesman Major Fazal Khan told Reuters.

Pakistan troops secure town in Taliban-held valley
So there has not been any fighting ? but they have taken the Town ? Sounds kinda funny to me ! The Taliban is not just going to lay down over this !
....
BUNER, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani troops took the main town in a key northwestern valley on Wednesday after being dropped by helicopters behind Taliban lines on the second day of an offensive, a military spokesman said.
The Taliban's advance into a region just 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Islamabad earlier this month had sent shivers through Pakistan and heightened fears in the United States that the nuclear-armed Muslim state was becoming more unstable.
Pakistan's demonstration of military resolve in Buner valley will likely reassure U.S. President Barack Obama and Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai when they meet Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari in Washington May 6-7 to discuss regional strategy.
Taliban fighters held the entrances to the valley, but they risk being caught between security forces at their front and rear after the successful airdrop.

Pakistan expands offensive against Taliban
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.

Flux in Pakistani valley after Taliban retreat
The Taliban pulled back but left some of their Germs ! Well put, and Germs like a bad disease need to be Eradicated ! But I doubt Pakistan is willing to do that , at times it seems as though Pakistan wants the Taliban to succeed in their quest to take over ! So they Left a few strays behind , they will undoubtedly start terrorizing the people of Buner , and in a short time they will give in and the Taliban will have another town under their control !
....
BUNER, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban fighters remained in a Pakistani valley near the capital on Saturday, but many had pulled out after quitting their main base, officials said.
"They have gone, but left their germs here," Abdul Rasheed Khan, the district's top police officer, told Reuters. "Now we have about 200 local Taliban who can be seen on roadsides."
The Taliban's entry into the northwest district of Buner, some 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Islamabad, alarmed Washington during the past week, as fears mounted over the nuclear-armed Muslim state's stability.
On Friday, guerrilla commander Fazlullah, ordered his men to pull back to the neighboring Swat valley, and his spokesman said around 100 fighters were being withdrawn.
Residents saw Taliban fighters abandoning their main base at Sultan Was village in the Buner valley.
A senior security official said the Taliban should lay down arms, allow the police to carry out their duties and allow new courts, known as qazi courts, to deliver justice according to sharia law.
"If they do not do any of this, the state will decide to go for an operation, and this time the operation will be on a larger scale," he said.

Taliban oust Pakistani authorities in Swat Valley sharia zone
"The speed and aggression of the militant advance has stoked a sense of alarm across the country, even among normally conservative forces."
A little more info on the Taliban's attempt at taking over Pakistan .
Pakistan is saying that they are deploying up to 300 Military personnel to Buner to push the Taliban Back ! This , Should be Interesting !
the Gaurdian....
Taliban fighters spilling out of the Swat Valley have swept across Buner, a district 60 miles from Islamabad, as Hillary Clinton warned the situation in Pakistan now poses a "mortal threat" to the security of the world.
The US secretary of state told Congress yesterday that Pakistan faced an "existential" threat from Islamist militants. "I think the Pakistani government is basically abdicating to the Taliban and the extremists," she said. Any further deterioration in the situation "poses a mortal threat to the security and safety of our country and the world", she said.
In Buner, Taliban fighters occupied government buildings, ransacked the offices of aid agencies and ordered aid employees to leave. Fighters brandishing guns and rocket launchers patrolled villages, forcing beleaguered local police to retreat to their stations. Local courts have stopped functioning and judicial officials have gone on indefinite leave.
This morning the provincial government said it was deploying six platoons of paramilitaries – between 180 and 300 troops – to retrieve control of the government installations.
The turmoil in Buner, a district of about 1 million people, does not pose an immediate threat to Islamabad, which lies across a mountain range and the river Indus. But the speed and aggression of the militant advance has stoked a sense of alarm across the country, even among normally conservative forces.
"If Taliban continue to move at this pace they will soon be knocking at the doors of Islamabad," Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of the pro-Taliban Jamiat Ulema e Islam party, told the national assembly yesterday.

U.S. drone hits militant camp in Pakistan
reportedly no one was killed in this Missile strike , but HLN news is saying 3 were killed , at least one of their compounds were destroyed and they again are further aggravated by the presence of the wonderful Predator drones ! letting the Taliban and Al Qaida members have no rest is Priceless !
....
WANA, Pakistan (Reuters) - A missile fired on Sunday by a pilotless U.S. drone struck a militant camp in Pakistan's South Waziristan region on the Afghan border but there were no reports of casualties, security officials said.
The drone strike came a day after a suicide-car bomber killed 27 soldiers and two passers-by in an attack on a military convoy in the northwest. Pakistani Taliban said the bombing was a reaction to U.S. drone attacks.
"It was a training camp. At the moment, we're trying to get information from the site," said one security official in the region, who declined to be identified.
Another security official said the camp was being used by militants from Pakistan's Punjab province.
Residents said the compound was empty as militants had left it hours before the strike.
"The drones were flying last night and we saw those living in the house leaving in the dark," said villager Kaleem Wazir.

Christian journalist in hiding for refusing to convert to islam
"You should change your name and embrace Islam, or else you will suffer along with your family.”
Nothing to see here folks, just some muslims threatening to kill a Christian if he doesn't convert to islam. Christian Today
A Christian journalist in Pakistan has received death threats after publishing articles calling for greater democracy and for refusing to convert to Islam.
George Masih, 43, who writes for the Lahore-based newspaper Aaj Kal, wrote a number of columns which provoked the ire of Muslims.
Last August, he wrote a column entitled “The Nation should wake up now”. In the autumn he wrote a further three columns entitled “The Sunrise of Democracy”, “The Triumph of Democracy” and “I am Pakistan”.[...]
Masih claimed to receive the first threatening letter late in October from the Islamic Tanzeem Organisation, which threatened “dire consequences” for him and his family if he did not become a Muslim.
The letter said, “George it would be better if you embraced Islam as soon as possible. Your name is the same as the [ex-president] of the USA, George Bush. We hate that stupid American. You should change your name and embrace Islam, or else you will suffer along with your family.”
In December, Masih said he received another letter in which the senders “directly threatened to kill” him and his family if he still did not convert.
