There has been heavy fighting between the army and pro-Taleban forces in north-western Pakistan recently.
Much of the fighting has been in the district of Swat - the first serious insurgent threat from pro-Taleban forces in what is considered a settled area of Pakistan.
Until now the army has focused on fighting militants mainly on the largely autonomous Waziristan tribal areas along the Afghan border.
