PAKISTAN-UNREST-NORTHWEST-POLICE,FOCUS
To go with story Pakistan-unrest-northwest-police,FOCUS by Lehaz Ali
This picture taken on August 1, 2009, shows a Pakistani policeman (L) standing guard as soldiers (C) ride on a vehicle past a check post in Mingora, the capital of troubled Swat valley. Pakistan has armed and appointed the first community police in Swat valley, hoping to prevent a Taliban resurgence and bolster security forces depleted by beheadings and mass desertions. Calm -- however tense -- has returned to the once lovely mountain district, more than three months after Pakistan ordered the military to wage a blistering air and ground assault against Taliban fighters who effectively ruled Swat.
