2. PBS Documentary that's airing tonight at 9pm EST

As her country slips further into political instability, becoming perhaps the most volatile nation in the world, FRONTLINE/World correspondent Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy takes a dangerous journey along Pakistans fault lines, investigating the rising popularity of an insurgent new branch of the Taliban and its youngest recruits. Over webcam she tells us why she undertook such a dangerous journey in her native country to document how the Taliban is repressing young girls and recruiting children to carry out suicide attacks.

The documentary will be broadcast online here: http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/pakistan802/

Judging by that clip, this is going to be a real eye opener...
