The Taliban have completely turned against their government. They are al Qaeda trained, no doubt.

I guess I was correct. The success in Swat moved the militants to attack the cities in Pakistan. They don't care about the people. If they did they would not attack the government, but, seek peaceful resolve to their differences. They want the Pakistan arsenal.

..."It was in response to the Swat operation where innocent people have been killed," Mehsud said. The little-known group Taliban Movement in Punjab has also claimed responsibility for the attack....

But, of course the Taliban killed no one, broke no agreements and acted in a peaceful manner when they were provided with all their demands including the release of prisoners that were supposed to be converted to a peaceful resolve for Swat. The statement made was to enflame the people as if their government were wrong. It isn't.

The Taliban have no compassion for their own people, otherwise, no agreements would have been broken and there would have been no aggressions to the areas outside of Swat. I don't believe the Taliban are capable of peace, I believe they are ruthless besides cruel.
