Pakistan valley under Islamic law
Updated on 13 April 2009
Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari, under pressure from MPs including members of his own party, has signed a regulation that puts a north-west valley under Islamic law to achieve peace with Taliban militants who have brutalised the area.
Meanwhile, authorities announced the arrest of a fifth person in connection with the deadly siege of the Indian city of Mumbai last year.
The provincial government in north-western Pakistan agreed in February to impose Islamic law in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas in exchange for a ceasefire with the local Taliban.
