Pakistan Attacking Taliban Forces

It's about freaking time.

Pakistani forces attacked suspected hide-outs of pro-Taliban militants near the border with Afghanistan Tuesday, while President Pervez Musharraf warded off proposals of unilateral US military action against terrorists in the tribal region.

In the first major military assault in North Waziristan since a fragile peace deal fell apart last month, artillery and helicopter gunships struck compounds near the village of Daygan, located about 20 kilometres from the region's main town of Miranshah.

This may thwart Barack Obama's invasion plans.

On cue, locals have said that only civilians were killed. Mostly women and children. Hmmmm, where have we heard that claim before?
