Paki government, Army, ISI incompentent.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Veteran ethnic Pashtun politician Mohammad Afzal Khan refuses to leave home in northwest Pakistan's Swat Valley even though the Taliban have tried to kill him, and says the people should stand up to the militants.
Swat was until recently one of Pakistan's top tourist destinations but Pakistani Taliban have all but taken over the scenic mountain valley, imposing their severe interpretation of Islamic law and slaughtering opponents with impunity.
Many families have fled, while residents say many policemen have either deserted or simply refuse to act against the militants, who have shot, blown up or beheaded numerous officers.
But Khan, an 82-year-old former cabinet minister known as Afzal Lala, or Afzal the Elder, has chosen to stay on to try to rally resistance to the militants.
"I'm from this soil. It's my home. My tribe is here," Khan told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"I want to live among my people. I won't run away."
The Islamists' grip on the valley, just 130 km (80 miles) northwest of Islamabad and away from the lawless Afghan border, highlights Pakistan's deteriorating security.
