7 soldiers were kidnapped in Jand today. Thats about 50 miles from GHQ on the road to Kohat. Its in Punjab, not KP. Its East of the Indus.

The most telling quote in the story is this:

..."Taliban commander Tariq Afridi, who has forces in the area, was not available for comment and no Taliban spokesman returned calls seeking comment."

In frigging Jand, there is a "taliban commander who has forces in the area".
This is close to real Pakistan. Actual middle class Punjabis could die one of these days.

Naturally I will plug my piece again: http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksd...tan-.html#more
