Pakistan government is under tremendous pressure from the US government which is using both carrot and stick approach towards Pakistan.

Pakistan took the risk of officially handing over the Swat Valley region to Taleban terrorists, under a peace deal two months back which was vociferously rejected by the US government. The US government threatened them with direct military action inside Pakistan if it is not able to dismantle the terrorist network inside Pakistan.

Also the US government announced a massive 3 billion dollars financial aid to Pakistan to tide over the current issues. Now the Pakistan government has started taking military action against the Taleban and is said to be successful in pushing the militants out of parts of Swat valley in the last few days.

Unconfirmed reports say, that in the next few weeks, Swat Valley could come back under Pakistan control. Both Pakistan and the US were responsible for creating these terrorist groups, as per Pakistan President Zardari.

The Taleban has over 70000 fighters as per US and Pakistan report published two months back, but now Pakistan government says that it has regained good part of the Swat Valley by killing less than 4% of the Taleban fighters. Does this mean that there is a tacit understanding between the Taleban and the Pakistan army, to temporarily keep Taleban out of Swat Valley.
