Fazlullah cannot escape, says Islamabad
From Dawn Media Group:
ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik has warned the chief of
the banned Lashkar-e-Islam Mangal Bagh to lay down arms and renounce
violence otherwise he would meet the same fate as other terrorists.
Spokesman Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Swat Muslim Khan and other commanders
would be put on trial in accordance with the law, said the interior minister
while talking to media men after meeting with a delegation led by President
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Fata Malik Waris Khan Afridi on Sunday.
The interior minister said that the dragnet around chief of the banned
Tehrik-e-Taliban Swat Maulvi Fazalullah has really been tightened and he
would not be able to escape. Muslim Khan has disclosed many things during
interrogation, said Malik.
The interior minister went on to say the 'Zaliman' who used children for
suicide bombings would be eliminated soon. He said that due to the
insurgency in Fata, no development schemes had been carried out in the
region during the last 10 years but steps were now being taken to eliminate
terrorism so that development schemes could be initiated. Special zone for
reconstruction in tribal areas would also be constituted, he said.
-----
Without a doubt, Fazlullah will screen himself with whatever noncombatants
he can find. All Muslim terrorists do, whenever they can.

Re: Fazlullah cannot escape, says Islamabad
This report from The News (Pakistan) seems to have been made from close to
the action.
SWAT: Fourteen militants were killed in clashes with security forces in
Malakand and Swat.
Meanwhile, 44 militants, including Nazim-e-Ala of outlawed
Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi Maulana Safiullah, were presented
before media while 63 militants surrendered.
Sources said that militants running away from Batkhela, Swat clashed with
security forces in Derai Jolgraham, an area of Malakand and resultantly
eight militants were killed while one official was also wounded and a
vehicle was partly damaged.
According to sources, five militants were killed also in clash with security
forces in tehsil Charbagh of Swat while a security official was also
injured.
Earlier, one militant was killed in Matta, too.
Meanwhile, local people formed a lashkar against militants in Peochar, Matta
after which a large number of lashkar people began operation along with the
security forces.
In Peochar, 44 militants were produced before media . They included six
suicide bomber children who were looking less than 15 years of age.

I'm hearing that the Malakand action is almost complete. The search for
Fazlullah seems to be going "cave to cave", on detailed information from his
former mouthpiece Muslim Khan.
