In Pakistan, Taliban militants pledged to leave the Buner region, located just 60 miles away from the capital Islamabad. This followed the implmentation of a truce between the Pakistani Government and Taliban leaders in the Swat Valley. The Taliban promised peace in the area and to lay down weapons in exchange for Sharia Islamic law in Swat. But now the Taliban are looking to extend Sharia in more areas. FSRN's Catherine Komp reads for our correspondent in the region, Gabe Matthews.
