"Pakistan halts offensive to talk with rebels; Tribal elders used as intermediaries" by Riaz Khan, Associated Press | July 6, 2008
BARA, Pakistan - Pakistani security forces have halted an operation against militants in the country's volatile northwest to try negotiating peace through tribal elders, officials said yesterday.
GOOD!!!! TALKING is ALWAYS better than KILLING!!!!!
Muhammad Ali, an official in charge of a crisis management center set up by the government in Peshawar to monitor the offensive, said security forces had stopped demolishing militant centers. He said the round-the-clock curfew in the troubled Khyber town of Bara - a key focus of the operation - was being relaxed during daytime hours.
Yesterday, shops in Bara were open, selling cloth, electronics, and food. Paramilitary forces had only a minor visible presence in the area.

And here was a story I found RATHER INTERESTING!
"The possibility of involvement by former or current figures in the government or security agencies has never gotten a full airing, analysts say.
"There are two ways to kill a person: One is to attack them, and the other is to make sure security is so lax, you know that one of a number of people coming at them will succeed," said Ikram Sehgal, a former senior military official who is now a journalist and analyst."
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - More than six months after Benazir Bhutto's assassination, the Pakistani authorities' investigation of her killing appears to have ground to a near halt, with the trail growing colder.
What a surprise!
Want to figure out who killed Bhutto?
Start by looking at these:
The AmeriKan MSM Lying About Bhutto's Assassination
Benazir Bhutto Was Killed By Snipers
Musharaff's Government Claims Bhutto was NOT SHOT
Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and What Really Happened
What Got Benazir Bhutto Killed?
U.S. Doubts "Al-CIA-Duh" Assassinated Bhutto
Did the CIA Kill Benazir Bhutto?
Did Condi Rice Get Benazir Bhutto Killed?
Western Intelligence Knows Al-Qaeda Didn't Kill Bhutto
Oh, that's why it isn't being investigated or reported properly!!!
No independent Pakistani commission has been appointed to investigate the assassination, and police activity is barely sputtering along, according to several people familiar with the case.
The lack of progress is despite the fact that her Pakistan People's Party is now the senior partner in the country's governing coalition and her widowed husband, Asif Ali Zardari, wields enormous influence as the party's leader.
"It looks as if it's a forgotten chapter," said Talat Massood, a retired general who is now a political analyst. "The internal agencies are not very active and focused on it."
Baitullah Mehsud, the Taliban commander swiftly blamed by the Pakistani government for masterminding the assassination, remains free in Pakistan's tribal areas. Military officials say there has been no attempt to capture him.
Mehsud is their designated fall guy for everything!
Beyond accusing Mehsud, the government has made little visible headway. The cases of five people arrested in the weeks after Bhutto's death are being heard before a special antiterrorism court in Rawalpindi. But even the prosecution describes the accused as relatively low-level figures in the plot.
Typical of government cover-ups. Whew, whatta stink!
Naseer Ahmed Tanoli, the lawyer for three of the five accused, says his clients have been subjected to torture and prevented from seeing family members or legal counsel. The court proceedings are secret, but another session is scheduled for mid-July, lawyers said.
The key players in Bhutto's killing - those who financed the operation and recruited the assailants - remain at large, a senior police official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The possibility of involvement by former or current figures in the government or security agencies has never gotten a full airing, analysts say.
