| Summary/Abstract |
That the Taliban presence in the NWFP has spread to newer areas is evident from the fact that they have moved from South Waziristan in March 2004, when the first military action was launched against them, to each one of the seven tribal agencies and to several settled districts of the province.
In fact, the Taliban's strength grew in the aftermath of every operation by the Pakistan Army in the tribal or settled areas. Rather than defeating the militants and regaining lost territory, almost all the military operations were followed by controversial peace deals that gave legitimacy to the Taliban and recognised their status and power. With every passing year, the Taliban managed to extend their control to more territory at the expense of the government. The weaker government writ meant that the common people had little or no option but to turn to the armed Taliban for protection and solution of their problems. The Taliban leadership responded by setting up their courts to dispense justice and established a parallel administration.

| Summary/Abstract |
One by one, most places and institutions dear to Pakhtuns are coming under attack from the militants. Mosques and shrines have been bombed. The hujra, or the male guesthouse, has been frequently attacked while serving as a venue of public meetings and political gatherings. Jirgas in session have been targeted and scores of tribal elders and clerics in attendance have been killed. The lashkars, made up of armed tribal volunteers, too have faced the wrath of the suicide bomber.
It was said that Pakhtuns like good food and guns, and enjoy music and a nice joke. One will have to take out music from the list of things that Pakhtuns like because the Taliban militants don't like the playing of songs and musical instruments. However, they don't mind eating well, acquiring the most sophisticated weapons and cracking jokes in which someone else is ridiculed.

| Summary/Abstract |
Military operations, including both air and ground offensives, against the late Baitullah Mehsud's group in the part of South Waziristan inhabitated by the Mehsud tribe, were long expected. But the factor or the other delayed the decision to send troops into the mountainous Mehsud triabal territory to clear some of the strategic areas of militants and then hold the ground.
