Taleban creep towards Islamabad.

A couple weeks after the Pakistani government recognized Taleban control of Swat, the Taleban have crept forward more or less claiming Buner. Armed Taleban are patrolling the villages.

Later: (AP) "Pakistani paramilitary troops rushed to protect government buildings and bridges..." Also BBC.

    And, as yet, we don't have a clear public statement from the military/ISI.
