Bloody urban battles could lie ahead in Pakistan
Sounds pretty devistating. How many the Taliban got? 10-30K? Seems they are getting squeezed out of Afghanistan and pushing (and losing) into Pakistan?
Pakistani security forces fought Taliban militants on the outskirts of the main city in the northwest's Swat Valley and entered two other Taliban-held towns there, the army said Sunday, foreshadowing what could become bloody urban battles.
A top government official said the offensive near Afghanistan had already killed more than 1,000 Taliban fighters, while a group of pro-government religious leaders endorsed the operation but condemned U.S. missile strikes in the northwest.
