Pakistan turns on its jihadi assets

The high-profile jailing of a former member of parliament in connection with the beheading of a Polish engineer is a significant first step in Pakistan's crackdown on the jihadi assets its intelligence services raised in the 1990s for asymmetric warfare against India. There will be a backlash from militants, but Islamabad has made it clear it has taken Washington's desires to heart. - Syed Saleem Shahzad (Jul 28, '09) Full Story »

This story provides in depth analysis of events based on local sources. Punjab govenment is against Talibal not because o Pro_ US attitude but because of terrorist attacks that took place in Punjab.

I believe that terrorist attacks against police and ordinary people had changed the position of Pakistan Government.
