Synopsis
The Pakistani army has quashed the Taliban in tribal areas like Swat by the ruthless use of military force.
Now, a new and potentially much more serious threat is rising from home-grown insurgents in Punjab, one of the heartlands of the Pakistani state.
Owen Bennett-Jones investigates the appeal of these movements to young Pakistanis. How much are they about fundamentalist Islam? And how much are they a reaction to continuing "feudalism" - the dominance of economics, politics and society by a handful of powerful families?
Listen as Owen travels across the country, meeting both feudal landowners and the young Punjabis who are attracted by the lure of militancy.
