From "Daily Times" of Pakistan:
Lashkar destroys 100 hideouts, houses of Taliban in Upper Dir
UPPER DIR: A local lashkar of armed volunteers, with the support of the
Frontier Corps and district police, destroyed over 40 Taliban hideouts and
bunkers in the Dogdarra area and torched 60 houses. The lashkar, FC and
police conducted a joint search operation in the Shot Kas, Ghazigay, Sugia
and Paparoo Awar areas and set fire to 60 houses belonging to Taliban,
including those of important commanders such as Maulvi Zakirullah, Amanul
Haq, Gul Rehman and Maulvi Noor Islam. The joint operation is likely to
continue for another three to four days, District Police Officer Ijaz Ahmed
said, adding the majority of these areas had been cleared of the Taliban.

Upper Dir is west of Swat and just south of Chitral. Chitral is a big
mountainous area, sometimes conjectured to be the hiding place of Bin Ladin.
