Pakistan: Militant leader vows jihad against US

Musharraf hasn't gotten them all. And what is he doing about the madrassas again? From HiPakistan:

WANA, June 21: The head of 'mujahideen' shura in South Waziristan on Monday said they wanted to live in peace with Pakistan, but vowed to continue waging a jihad against the United States.

"We want peace for Pakistan, but not for the US," Haji Muhammad Omar, amir of the mujahideen shura in Waziristan, told Dawn. The hitherto unknown Muhammad Omar called the BBC Pushto Service on Sunday to claim that he had been made the acting commander of the mujahideen in place of Nek Muhammad who had been killed in a missile attack last week.
