Taliban in the Swat Valley

An armed Pakistani Taliban talks to residents in the Buner district of the Swat Valley, April, 2009. The extremists patrolled the streets, about 60 miles from the capital, warning residents not to engage in "un-Islamic" activity and barring women from public places, before pulling back as Pakistan troops advanced on the region.
