DAWN: ISLAMABAD: Pakistani security forces began an offensive on Sunday to stop the Taliban’s creeping advances in Lower Dir, Reuters reported a military spokesman as saying.

‘Intense exchange of fire is going on in Lower Dir,’ a military spokesman told Reuters. >>> By Zeeshan Haider | Sunday, April 26, 2009
