Pakistan beating down the Taliban

Jihadi literature and guerrilla training manuals, mostly in Arabic, lay scattered in a corner, along with DVDs of Osama bin Laden’s sermons and a cache of weapons hurriedly abandoned as insurgents fled from the Pakistani
Army.

There were DVDs and cassettes carrying bin Laden’s messages. Several pamphlets also quoted from the al-Qaeda leader and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. “I swear by God that Americans and their allies will not get peace until we
drive them out of Afghanistan and other holy places of Islam,” read an extract from one of bin Laden’s sermons. “This literature was used tomotivate the young militants,” an army official said.
