PAKISTAN-UNREST
Freed Pakistani students arrive in Bannu on June 2, 2009. Pakistan's military said it had rescued 80 students and staff snatched by Taliban gunmen, as fears grew of spiralling rebel attacks to avenge a military offensive in the northwest. Officials said 71 students and nine staff from an army-run college were rescued when militants moved them from North Waziristan to South Waziristan -- lawless tribal zones on the Afghan border where Al-Qaeda is known to be active. The students left their college on May 1 after it closed for the summer and were in a convoy of about 30 vehicles when armed Taliban ambushed the convoy. AFP PHOTO/ Karim ULLAH
