Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Pakistani military officials said Sunday they have instituted a month-long suspension of their offensive against Taliban insurgents in observance of Ramadan.
But, they warned, they would respond with "full force" if Taliban extremists attempted to take advantage of the Muslim holy month to perpetrate terror in the restive North West Frontier province, CNN reported.
Quoting Pakistan state media, the broadcaster said the Pakistani Interior Ministry made the move to allow refugees caught up in the nearly continuous fighting in the region to return to their homes to honor Ramadan, a month-long period of fasting and religious reflection.
