"For the past two years, Talibans terrorist attacks have made more than 2000 victims in Pakistan. The population is suffering and the public opinion is putting the blame on the American military policy. These attacks are mostly located in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and its capital Peshawar. The suicide bombing of December 7th, with 10 deaths and 45 people injured, is one of the last examples. It is to be feared that this situation is going to set in with the pressure made by the US Army in Afghanistan. This increasing violence is an answer to the recent incursions (June 2009) of the Pakistani army in the tribal area of the Swat valley and South Waziristan. This border region is highly difficult to secure. Until recently, the Taliban had local support and used this area as a starting point for their guerrilla in Afghanistan."via
