Taliban militants blow up PML-Q leader home in Swat
Source: The Hindu

Islamabad (PTI): Taliban militants in Pakistan's troubled northwestern Swat valley on Wednesday blew up a house belonging to opposition PML-Q leader and former federal minister Amir Muqam.

Mr. Muqam was not present in the home, located in Madyan area of Swat, at the time of the incident, local media reported.

About 70 militants entered Muqam's residence and blew it up after occupying the house early this morning. There were no reports of casualties in the incident.

Mr. Muqam had survived a suicide attack on his home in Peshawar in late 2007.

Yep, the Taliban have become peace-loving "live & let live" types since getting control of the Swat valley....

2. So what is your solution to the possibility of the Taliban
getting its hands on Pakistan's nukes? The Swat Valley is only 100 miles from Islamabad.

I don't like us being involved in Pakistan, but I don't have any answers, and I DON'T want a nuclear armed state like Pakistan to fall under Taliban control.

Do you?

Please forward any and all elegant solutions to Obama, I'm sure he'd be happy to have them.
