Islamic law to be imposed in parts of northwest Pakistan
None
Regional government officials said Pakistan will impose Islamic law in parts of its northwest where Taliban fighters increasingly hold sway.
The decision follows government talks with a pro-Taliban group aimed at convincing militants in the Swat Valley to lay down their arms.The officials did not offer many specifics. However, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a provincial information minister, said all laws that do not comply with Islamic texts are suspended in the Malakand region, which includes Swat. (AP)
