"The Pakistani army has driven Islamic militants from all the towns in a scenic northern valley and killed 290 of the followers of a pro-Taliban cleric....." For me -- this is hard to believe..
I'd need to see the body count, and I doubt that even if the count is accurate that it would represent "driven Islamic militants from all the towns in a scenic northern valley".....
Unless so course it's a very small valley, and not representative of the outlaws who have controlled the area for centuries..
