Pride and grief in Taliban recruiting zone near Shabqadar
In Shabqadar Pakistan a cluster of Pashtun villages faces a rising Taliban recruiting drive. Families mourn dead and missing youths while authorities crack down after a local militant office closure. An onlooker notes anger and fear as militants lure with religious appeals amid rising violence. Aminullah, a 22 year old former Frontier Constabulary member, died in a car bomb in Kandahar as his family recalls his farewell note urging jihad.
