November 2009 in Pakistan

• November 4, Pakistan averted a potentially destabilizing coalition split after the government abandoned efforts to push through a bill that would formalize an amnesty for President Asif Ali Zardari and some of his ministers from corruption charges. If the bill isn't passed, it could expose Mr. Zardari and the other ministers to a reopening of the corruption cases against them.^[1]

• November 5, Pakistani officials announced the arrests of three Iranians in connection with a suicide attack last month in southeastern Iran that killed 42 people. Security officials say the suspects were arrested in Pakistan's Balochistan province on the Iranian border.^[2]

• November 6, Taliban fighters are fleeing into the mountains of South Waziristan to escape a military offensive and resistance is dwindling, Pakistan’s army said.^[3]
