From the [1] BBC, with thanks to Nicolei:

Opposition parties in Pakistan have condemned an ongoing military operation against suspected al-Qaeda sympathisers in South Waziristan.

In a heated debate in parliament on Thursday, they denounced the killing of Muslims as an "un-Islamic act."

They also alleged that innocent local tribesmen were being targeted.

Meanwhile there has been a relative lull in fighting near the town of Wana, where a large number of militants are thought to be holed up.
