A G-59 Pakistani tank rolls on as soldiers move toward militant positions at the Sabagai village in the Bajur tribal region on the border with Afganistan, Pakistan, on Friday, Nov. 28, 2008. Pakistan is battling surging attacks by al-Qaida and Taliban militants. Most of them are based in the rugged and lawless tribal region across from Afghanistan, where U.S. and NATO forces are fighting an increasingly tenacious Islamist insurgency. Al-Qaida leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri are believed to be hiding somewhere along the border. |
