An interesting analysis by Paul Anderson (BBC correspondent in Kandahar).
Pak-Army ops in Waziristan have practically cut off logistic support for East-Afghan Talibanis. Let’s see how they survive in the South and West of Afghanistan.

Taliban deputy held in bombing that wounded 3 US soldiers**
Paktika Governor Gulab Mungal said Afghan forces later arrested a suspect in the attack, whom he identified only as a deputy of Jalaluddin Haqqani, a front-line Taliban commander who served briefly as tribal affairs minister before the fall of the hard-line Islamic regime in late 2001. He remains at large.
Mungal said several land mines, explosives and bomb-making instructions were seized from the suspect’s house.
