     COMMENTS: Swat Peace may mean Worse Kandahar War

NBC's Richard Engel reported from a bus on the Kabul-Kandahar highway about the potential fallout from the ceasefire in Pakistan's Swat Valley. The fighting between government troops and Taliban guerrillas has halted and the Pakistani government has acceded to Taliban demands to impose Islamic law there. Engel feared that the ceasefire will allow the Taliban to intensify its fighting in Afghanistan. "Kabul now feels under siege," he warned, with Taliban roadblocks as close as ten miles south of the capital. Engel's bus driver told him "he has seen the Taliban behead Afghan soldiers by the roadside."
