Hangu, the next settled dsitrict to fall to the talibs?

If this keeps up, it sure looks like it. Does the government and military have any contingency plans to prevent a repeat of Swat and Buner? Will we go after the sources of funding and sustenance the taliban rely on, i.e. the madrassas and religious parties?

PESHAWAR: Hangu militants attacking the Army Public School killed the Admin officer, while three persons including two policemen were abducted.

Sources said that militants in large number Sunday morning barged into the Army Public School located in Hangu and tried to kidnap the staff over there, while on resistance, the militants shot dead Admin officer, Gharib Gul and kidnapped Head constable, Shakirullah, Sepoy Bilal and Table man, Sohail, who were taken to unknown place.

Earlier, the militants had also kidnapped three persons including one officer from Hangu Agriculture office, while one wounded official had fled from the custody of the militants. Traffic on the Hangu Highway remains badly hit since last three years because of the militants occupying the Highway.

I think reforming madressahs is the next logical step after the operations against the Taliban neo-Kharijis.

the only solution is to continue the operation, and destroy the supply routes of terrorists. We have to take out the main man and their heaven, ..Baitullah Masud & North Waziristan, until we didn't clear those area's this will not stop. Just securing main cities will not work this time. If army can't stay their forever, then built up special mountain warfare force for FATA/NWFP.
