Street fighting erupted in the main town of Pakistan's Swat valley on Saturday as security forces mounted a new phase of their offensive against Taliban militants, the military said. The battle for control of Mingora is crucial to the success of the offensive launched this month to regain control of the Swat valley and stem a spreading Taliban insurgency. "Street fighting has begun in Mingora," military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told a news conference.
Just what has the US promised the Pakistanis in return for this surge??
