BBC:
Hundreds of Pakistani ground troops have been fighting pro-Taleban insurgents in Swat, backed up by artillery and helicopter gunships.
Military officials say they are making progress. The highest peak in the Kabal district has now been retaken and other recent gains have been consolidated.
An FM radio station run by the local leader of the insurgency, Maulana Fazlullah, has gone off air.
The army has reported more than 200 deaths since the beginning of last week, most of them suspected militants.
- MUSHARRAF IS A GOOD ALLY IN WW4 - BETTER THAN FRANCE UNDER CHIRAC; BETTER THAN TURKEY AND SAUDI ARABIA.
- WE SHOULD SUPPORT HIM. ESPECIALLY NOW - INHIS HOUR OF NEED.
- NEITHER SHARIF OR BHUTTO IS BETTER.
- THEY WOULD BE WORSE.
- WE MUSTN'T ABANDON HIM AS CARTER ABANDONED THE SHAH.
