The Bhutto assassination and the growing instability in Pakistan have cast renewed attention on the Taliban, whose resurgence has steadily picked up steam while U.S. forces have prioritized their attention and resources in Iraq. This weekend's New York Times Magazine has an interesting article on the Taliban's reach into Pakistan and the split between the moderate and fundamental Islamists. Also, Frontline produced a fascinating series (which can be viewed online) on the "Return of the Taliban", along with links to supplemental information such as interviews, maps, etc.
