Events in Pakistan getting more interesting

While everyone in America is obsessing about Iraq, I have a suspicion that the real news is happening somewhere else entirely.

Pro-Taleban militants in Pakistan's North Waziristan region say they have ended their truce with the government.

In a statement issued in Miranshah, the main town, the militants accused the government of breaking the agreement.

It came as Pakistan deployed more troops in the area, fearing "holy war" after the storming of the militant Red Mosque last week left 102 dead.

If there is open warfare between Musharraf's government and the Taliban guys, it means that he's no longer defending Al-Qaeda if they have been hiding out in his country.
