Villagers fight Taliban after Pakistan mosque blast
.
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Villagers in northwest Pakistan have attacked Taliban militants killing seven of them in revenge for a bomb attack on a mosque that killed at least 40 people, a top government official and residents said on Sunday.
It was the latest in a series of instances of people turning their guns on the Taliban in recent weeks and trying to force them out of their areas and will encourage the Pakistani government which needs public support to defeat the militants.
The United States, which needs sustained Pakistani action to help defeat al Qaeda and cut off militant support for the insurgency in Afghanistan, will also be heartened by the move.
The Pakistani military has been battling Taliban in the Swat valley, northwest of the capital, for more than a month after the militants took advantage of a peace pact to gain new ground.
The army offensive has broad public support even though many in Pakistan are ambivalent about the Taliban and are wary of the government's close alliance with the United States.
Taliban militants have also launched a string of bomb attacks in response to the military offensive and are suspected of being behind a suicide bomb attack on a mosque in the Upper Dir region, near Swat, that killed about 40 people on Friday.
After the blast, enraged villagers formed a militia, known as a lashkar, of about 500 men to expel the militants from the area, said the top government official in the region.
"They are standing up against the militants themselves as they consider them troublemakers," the government administrator, Atif-ur-Rehman, told Reuters by telephone.

What do you mean? We've had Muslim allies all through this conflict. THe Kurds in Iraq, for instance, fought loyally on our side in Iraq, despite the fact that we left them flapping int eh breeze after the 91 campaign and they had every right and reason to hate us.
The Afghani freedom fighters have actually fought more of the Afghani campaign than we have. They've paid for their freedom with the blood of thousands of their brothers, all the while fighting on our side as our staunch allies.
The Pakistanis, despite their internal troubles, have been trying to help (however feeble the help has been), along with the good people of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, and a handful of other Muslims countries that have assisted us in many different ways in this effort.
Muslims are not the problem. 3rd world thugs using Islam as an excuse for their murdering, bastardly ways ARE the problem.
