Taliban has de facto control in some districts: UN

United Nations, Oct. 25. (PTI): Expressing serious concern over resurgence of Taliban in Afghanistan, a top United Nations peacekeeping official has said the militia has established de facto control over administration in several border districts and that could affect the electoral process in the war-torn country.

Because of deteriorating security situation, all UN missions have been suspended in Nimroz, Helmand, Uruzgan and Zabul provinces which, in turn, has greatly restricted reconstruction process and world body's ability to monitor the political process in the south, he said.

The primary sources of insecurity remained terrorist attacks and cross-border infiltration by suspected Taliban, al Qaeda and Hizb-I-Islam insurgents, Under-Secretary General for Peacekeeping Jean-Marie Guehenno told the Security Council yesterday, days before a UNSC mission to the country.

2. Looks like the idol worshipers,
in Pakistan aren't being bribed well enough by our idol,GWB. I suppose this Taliban resurgence is another part of the "Clinton legacy". The AM-radio pigs will spin it that way for sure.

3. The important question is --
did we get the oil pipe line contract and is it under construction yet? Doesn't matter who's ruling the natives == we can always get congress to pay for the required ongoing security forces to protect our investments...
