Taliban continues its takeover of Pakistan
[Link: www.cnn.com...]
Speaking on the telephone with CNN, [Taliban spokesman] Muslim Khan announced that all national and provincial parliament members from the Malakand Division, the northwestern region where the Swat Valley is located, must resign within three days.
“Otherwise, we will arrest all their families,” Khan threatened, “and we will destroy all their buildings.”
On Wednesday, Khan denied reports from many refugees emerging from the Swat Valley that Taliban militants had carried out a campaign of violence and intimidation in the region for the past two years.
Several terrified Swat residents, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the Taliban, described how insurgents kidnapped and killed their critics, beheaded government informers and blew up girls’ schools.
