Pakistan

The JuA faction of TTP released a video announcing the launch of "Operation Ghazi" in the honour of Maulvi Ghazi Abdul Rasheed who was killed in July 2007 by Pakistan Army inside Lal Masjid, Islamabad. The Chief of JuA also appealed to other religious groups to form a united front, wherein he would be ready to fight as an ordinary fighter, a possible hint of rejoining the main TTP of Fazlullah group. The main TTP and Waziristan Mehsud Taliban (Khan Said Sajna Group) have already merged on February 02, 2017. TTP-JuA has already claimed the Chaman (Balochistan) blast on FC jointly with LeJ's Al-Alami and blast in Kurram Agency on January 21, 2017 claimed by LeJ Al-Alami that they claim was their combined work with Shehryar group of Mehsud Taliban, which means these factions have already joined hands together.

The TTP-JuA claimed that the previous Operation Saut-al-Raad (Sound of Thunder), which was aimed at hit and run tactics, had achieved its targets and that now it was time to launch big operations. TTP-JuA has already started this by launching big scale attacks on three Pakistan Army check posts in Baizai (border area with Afghanistan) simultaneously claiming to have inflicted heavy losses onto the Pakistan Army, while conceding that two of its fighters were killed and three injured. Police sources, talking to Pakistan Today, revealed that law enforcement agencies are now expecting some large scale attacks in Mohmand Agency, Bajaur Agency and Peshawar on the LEAs while sectarian minorities will be targeted too. Shia community-dominated areas in KP/FATA and Quetta in Balochistan will be likely targets of these attacks.
