'Suicide bombings, bomb explosions and missile attacks occurred an average of once a week in Peshawar in 2007, according to a tally by the city's police department. In 2006, while there were occasional grenade attacks and explosions, the authorities did not record a single suicide bombing or rocket attack inside the city.
Though few in the city believe that the Taliban will rule anytime soon, the police and residents say that, by the standards of counterinsurgency warfare, the extremists are doing well. They have undermined public faith in the government, sown distrust and made the police fearful for their lives.'::NY Times.
