While the content is all true, non of this story is news. All has been reported over and over, written about and even in documentaries. al-Qaida and the Taliban have been there for YEARS. Drones have been used for 3 years up there. The Pashtun Crisis is also a very old story..

Informative report about the Pashtun people, who inhabit the tribal areas in West Pakistan and Afghanistan. This radio segment provides a factual overview of their culture and history, with helpful context about their role in the conflict against the Taliban.

A very good overview of of the Pashtuns and their culture of just wanting to be left alone. If I was the leader (if there is one) I would give al-Qaida and the Taliban the boot. But, neither I,Pakistan, or the U.S. can or will be able to negotiate with these people. Killing innocents just makes the matter worse. Train a Police and Army to the best of our ability and get the hell out of that hell-hole.
