Summary/Abstract |

Public morale was hit hardest by attacks on government, police and military installations that targeted the country's governance and security infrastructure. The Herald reviews this development by speaking to military and security analysts.

At the first check post at the beginning of Malakand Division, the army thoroughly checks vehicles going towards Swat. They all pass under a U-shaped scanner mounted on a huge truck. The road has been narrowed to a single lane allowing only one vehicle at a time to pass through. On the slightest suspicion, the driver of a vehicle is told to park to the side and allow a soldier to carry out a thorough search.
