In Pakistan, police arrested two more Taliban members in Karachi. Taliban and al Qaeda members hide out either in Pakistan's large cities, like Karachi, or isolated villages along the Afghan border. In the cities, there are neighborhoods where Islamic radicals are popular and in control, and these provide hiding places. The cities also provide better communications and access to international airlines.
