Swat Taliban Summon Government Officials To Sharia Court

Bill Roggio has an excellent article on this.

The leader of the Taliban-controlled district of Swat in Pakistan's northwest has ordered more than 50 political and tribal leaders to appear before a sharia court within a week or face "dangerous consequences."

Mullah Fazlullah, Swat's radical Taliban leader, issued the order in a broadcast over his illegal FM radio channel after convening the Taliban shura, or council.

Not looking good for Pakistan's Northwest district of Swat.
