Jun. 9, 2008

The Pakistan government in the North West Frontier Province had signed the Swat agreement with Taliban militants in the restive Swat valley under which the militants had given a commitment that they would stop attacks on security forces.

Instead Taliban militants unleashed a fresh wave of suicide attacks. Pakistan government on Monday scrapped the Swat deal. It will make the United States and Afghanistan happier.

According to the Swat agreement, Pakistani army would be gradually withdrawn from the region. But instead now the focus is on a major assault on the Taliban.
