This week, Pakistans interior minister said that military operations
carried out against the Taliban in the Swat valley, and North and
South Waziristan had broken the back of the Taliban.

South Waziristan is home to an estimated 10,000 Taliban fighters and

rumours that he had been killed by a recent drone attack.
