Pakistani Jihadis Real Busy

First, there were reports that jihadis overran a school in Pakistan, taking more than 250 hostages. Now comes word that the hostages have been freed and the terrorists turned themselves in to the negotiators:

Gunmen released unharmed more than 200 students and teachers they had taken hostage at a high school in northwestern Pakistan on Monday, the government said.

After an hours-long standoff, the seven gunmen gave themselves up to a delegation of tribal negotiators, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said.

The gunmen had barged into the school near the town of Bannu after a chase and firefight with police that killed an eighth gunman and wounded a policeman.

Pakistani forces continue to have serious trouble dealing with jihadis and Taliban elements in much of the country.
