According to The News, the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) personnel claimed on January 15 that two alleged teenage suicide bombers were killed while a third committed suicide by swallowing poisonous capsules in the Mohmand Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). An unnamed official stated that the three alleged young suicide bombers were on their way to Ghalanai, Mohmand Agency’s regional headquarters, in a Land Cruiser from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas. He said the FC soldiers deployed at the Khapakh Post on the Pakistan-Afghanistan highway - about six kilometers west of Ghalanai - stopped the vehicle and asked the three boys to disembark for a body search. According to him, one of the boys alighted and another remained inside while the third attempted to escape. The official said the soldiers immediately opened fire and shot him dead. He was identified as Nadir Khan, a resident of Swabi district in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP). However, the alleged suicide bomber before his death exploded the vehicle through a remote control device, killing another 13-year old boy, who was inside the vehicle. The soldiers reportedly took the third suicide bomber into custody and brought him to Ghalanai. However, the boy, suspected to be from Waziristan, swallowed poisonous capsules and subsequently died.

At least 10 people were killed and 13 others sustained injuries when a teenaged suicide bomber blew himself up amidst a gathering of the Awami National Party (ANP) and tribal Lashkar (force) at Mirali in North Waziristan on February 11, The News reported. President of the North Waziristan chapter of the ANP, Haji Anwar Shah, was among the dead. Witnesses told The News from Mirali, the second biggest town after the regional headquarters Miramshah, that a suicide bomber blew himself up when the party workers reached Eedak village where armed men of the tribal Lashkar were manning a checkpoint set up on the main Bannu-Miramshah road to search vehicles carrying goods to Afghanistan. The attacker was reported to be travelling with the ANP activists from Tappi to Mirali where they had gone as part of their election campaign. The tribal Lashkar was recently raised by the Dawar tribes-people to evict foreign militants from their area, which according to them, provoked military operations by the Pakistani security forces and caused them multiple hardships.

At least 10 suspected militants were killed in a missile strike on a house in South Waziristan early on February 28, according to Daily Times. The dead were believed to be of Pakistani and foreign origins, residents and officials said. The attack occurred at approximately 2AM in Kaloosha village, 10 kilometres west of Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan. "Nine militants were killed instantly while a wounded Punjabi militant passed away hours later in a local hospital," the residents said. Security officials also put the toll at 10. However, local news agencies reported that 13 people were killed in the attack and several others injured. It is the second such attack in the area after militant commander Nek Muhammad was killed in a missile attack in June 2004. Resident Sharifullah said three missiles hit the house of Afghan national Sheroo, who hailed from the Zalikhel tribe, which is allegedly harbouring foreign and local militants. "There was no immediate information about the presence of any high-value target," an unnamed official told AFP. Armed militants cordoned off the incident site after the missile strike, the residents said, adding that four unidentified ‘guests’ had arrived late on February 27 at the destroyed house. Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP that the deaths were caused by explosive material stored in the house, adding that 10 to 12 people were killed in the blast. "As per our information it was an explosion caused by explosive material in the house." However, a security source based in Peshawar said that the missile was fired by a US drone at about 2am. A spokesman for the United States-led coalition force based in Afghanistan said it had "no reports" that either it or the separate North Atlantic Treaty Organisation-headed force were involved in the strike. Sources said that the militants belonged to the Abu Hamza group whose leader was said to be a follower of local militant commander Maulana Nazir, according to Dawn. Nazir won government’s support after launching an armed campaign against Uzbek militants in the Ahmadzai Wazir area in April 2007. A spokesman for Nazir denied the killing of Arabs or Turkmens in the attack and said that some Afghans had died. "They were common Afghans and had been living in the area for a few years." He claimed that missiles had been fired from Afghanistan.

At least 20 people were killed as several missiles hit a house in South Waziristan on March 16-afternoon, Daily Times reported. Seven missiles landed on the house of Noorullah in Toog village, located four kilometers south of Wana, the headquarters of South Waziristan. Local journalist Sailab Mehsud said 20 people were killed and five others wounded in the missile attack. He said all those who died were Arabs and Turkmen, who had gathered at the house when the attack occurred. It could not be confirmed where the missiles came from, but locals told Mehsud they were fired from two unmanned aircrafts. Local people said that the house had been rented out to ‘non-local’ people about a year ago and about 20 non-local people lived there, according to Dawn. None of those killed and wounded included high-value targets, local residents and security officials said. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said there were reports of blasts and some casualties in the area and the military was checking. He added that Pakistani forces had not carried out any operation in the area and he did not know who had carried out the strike or what type of weapon was used. Major Chris Belcher, a US military spokesman in Afghanistan, said coalition forces conducted an operation in the Paktika province, which lies just across the border from South Waziristan. He said he had no information about the Pakistan strike and that he doubted the two incidents were related.

A suicide bomber blew himself up in a madrassa (seminary) in the Khyber Agency of FATA on May 1 injuring at least 18 people in an apparent attempt to assassinate the head of a religio-militant organisation. "I was the target," Haji Namdar, chief of the Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar (Promotion of Virtue and Suppression of Vice) organisation, told Daily Times. Namdar escaped unhurt in the attack. The suicide bomber, aged between 15 and 18, blew himself up as he approached Namdar at the madrassa in Takya. An eyewitness, Amin Khan, said the attacker struck after Namdar had finished a sermon and appealed for donations for jihad, AP reported. "Half of the [suicide] jacket did not explode; otherwise there would have been many casualties," Tariq Hayat, administrator of the Khyber tribal region, told Dawn. Namdar later said he was not opposed to suicide bombings targeting "Islam’s enemy", but was opposed to attacks on fellow Muslims. He also said the attack could be a "reaction" to his group’s action against people who attempted to abduct the Mahsud Scouts troops in Kambarkhel earlier in the week. "We expelled those people... and the same people could be involved in the attack," claimed Namdar. Munsif Ali Khan, a spokesman for the group, told Dawn that the bomber appeared to be from outside Khyber Agency. He blamed Hakimullah, an associate of Baitullah Mehsud, for the attack. Officials said Haji Namdar and is armed religious groups had links with the Taliban and was said to have fought along with the Taliban in the past.

An army official was injured when the Baitullah Mehsud-led Taliban militants launched their first attack on the army after peace talks in South Waziristan failed, BBC Urdu reported on May 5. Security forces shelled various suspected positions in the Jandola and Manzai areas after the attack, according to Daily Times. However, no causalities were reported. According to the local administration, the Taliban attacked a Baloch Regiment patrolling team in the Sankai Raghzai area at about 12pm, wounding an army official. According to the BBC, there were also reports of people fleeing certain parts of South Waziristan after the attack. However, a spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) alleged that the first shot had been fired by the troops. "The army attacked the Taliban first and they (militants) returned fire in self-defence," Maulana Umar told Dawn. Peace talks between the Government and the militants ended last week after the former reportedly refused to withdraw troops from South Waziristan, Swat and Darra Adamkhel.

At least 12 militants, including some foreigners, were killed on May 14 in a suspected United States missile strike on two houses in the Damadola area of Bajaur Agency in the FATA, Daily Times reported. Two missiles, apparently fired by a US drone aircraft, demolished a house and a compound used by suspected al Qaeda militants, an unnamed official told AFP. Residents said they saw drones flying in the area beforehand, AP reported. They said that Taliban militants cordoned off the site soon after the attack. Taliban spokesman Maulana Omar told Daily Times that ‘commander’ Maulana Obaidullah’s house had been targeted. He said most of the house’s residents, including women and children, were killed. He said the Taliban believed that the US army had initiated the attack to undermine peace efforts, adding, "We will avenge this but will continue talks with the Government." Separately, however, military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said that there was no army in the area and he had no knowledge of any missile strike. The missile attack is reported to have triggered a chain of explosions, apparently caused by a stockpile of explosives, according to Dawn. Several people are thought to have been injured, but not much information came out of the area since militants prevented local people from undertaking any rescue operation. This is the third missile strike by American planes on Damadola. 18 persons, including 14 members of one family, were killed when a residential compound was hit on January 13, 2006. It was hit again by a pilotless predator on October 30, 2006, killing 82 people, including many children.

Hundreds of Taliban militants attacked a security check-post near the Afghan border late on August 6, sparking fierce clashes in which up to 10 soldiers and 25 militants were killed, officials said on August 7, Daily Times reported. The security forces (SFs) had deployed a large force at Loyesam, 12 kilometers from Khar, headquarters of the Bajaur Agency in FATA, in a bid to reclaim important nearby Taliban strongholds. A Frontier Corps officer told AFP that 300-400 militants armed with AK-47 assault rifles, rocket launchers and grenades, participated in the attack. "The firing continued the whole night. This morning reinforcements were sent. One vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device on its way to the post and the convoy was then attacked by Taliban militants," the official said. "Up to 25 militants were killed and at least 10 Frontier Corps soldiers have also been martyred," an unidentified security official told AFP. However, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Maulvi Umar said 18 SF personnel were killed, a claim that is yet to be ascertained independently. Umar said the Taliban would use all resources to regain control of Loyesam area. He also claimed that 17 SF personnel had been held hostage, five of them with severe injuries, Dawn reported.

At least seven persons were killed and more than 20 injured in fighting between the militants and security forces (SFs) in the Bajaur Agency on August 10, as Taliban occupied a 15-kilometre stretch of land from agency headquarters Khar to the Jaar area, Daily Times reported. Fighter aircraft and helicopter gun-ships targeted militant hideouts in the agency after paramilitary troops withdrew from the Taliban stronghold of Loyesam following three days of fierce clashes. Two helicopters and two fighter jets targeted Taliban hideouts in Loyesam, Bando, Rashakai, Tang, Jaar, Haji Lawang, Yousafabad and Charmang areas until 4pm (PST) on August 10. Approximately 40 houses were destroyed during the bombing. Taliban militants reportedly attacked the bombers with anti-aircraft guns in the Carela and Tang Khata areas. Hundreds of armed Taliban militants, meanwhile, dug trenches in Loyesam along an eight-kilometer stretch of the strategic road leading to Peshawar, capital of the NWFP. Taliban also took control of temporary check-posts in Yousafabad, Haji Lawang, and Jaar abandoned by the SFs. They also blew up an abandoned check-post in Jarmola Kilay. Witnesses said Taliban dug trenches just a furlong away from the Bajaur Scouts headquarters in Khar and occupied a bridge in Jaar. Witnesses said most of the Bajaur Agency is now under Taliban control. Local sources said 90,000 local residents had emigrated from the area, mostly to the neighbouring Dir district. NGOs are reported to have set up camps in the Munda area, between the Dir and Bajaur. An official of Inter-Services Public Relations said the Pakistan Army was not taking part in the operation and therefore, they had no details on the losses suffered by the militants, The News reported. He said the paramilitary Frontier Corps in consultation with the local political administration was conducting the operation against militants in which fighter aircraft and gunship helicopters were being used to target the positions of militants.

Twelve persons, most of them alleged foreign fighters, were killed and five others sustained injuries when a US Predator fired two Hellfire missiles on a house in the Zari Noor village of South Waziristan on August 20, The News reported. Military Spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the incident but said he would not confirm whether it was a missile or rocket attack. He said he had heard that 8-12 people had been killed in the explosions. The military spokesman, however, denied reports that a US Predator had fired Hellfire missiles on the Pakistani territory. Tribal sources said a house and Hujra (male guesthouse) owned by a local tribal elder, Mohammad Yaqub Mughalkhel Wazir, were hit by the missiles. "Before the attack at around 4 pm, a black colour plane was flying at a low altitude over the village and almost half-an-hour later another white colour plane fired two missiles that razed the buildings," said a local tribesman Mohammad Siyar Wazir. Militants affiliated to ‘commander’ Maulvi Nazeer reportedly cordoned off the village and the damaged buildings soon after the attack and barred the tribesmen from going to the incident site. Tribal sources based in Wana said the majority of those killed in the air strikes were reported to be Arab fighters staying as guests with the Wazir tribal elder.

Pakistan on December 30 suspended supplies to more than 65,000 NATO and United States troops in Afghanistan when Security Forces imposed curfew in and around Jamrud tehsil (revenue division) of Khyber Agency to initiate a military operation against the Taliban, Daily Times reported. Two militants were among five people killed on December 30 in the joint operation by military and paramilitary forces. "We have launched crackdown against people creating disturbances, and army, paramilitary and levy force is jointly conducting the operation," Khyber Chief Administrator Tariq Hayat told reporters in Peshawar. Hayat also said the operation was targeting six Taliban-linked organizations. "This operation will continue as long as all targets are achieved," he stated. According to him, the operation was aimed at putting a stop to both attacks on NATO supply vehicles and a spate of kidnappings for ransom in the FATA, where the Taliban and al Qaeda are active. Troops had already seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition in a raid on a warehouse in Jamrud, Hayat said, adding that a complete curfew had been imposed on the area, with paramilitary troops patrolling the streets. The early-dawn operation followed recent Taliban activities, which attempted to cut off supply lines to international forces in Afghanistan and threatened Peshawar’s security. "Helicopter gunships pounded suspected hideouts of the Taliban and their local facilitators while ground forces with tanks and heavy artillery provided backup," residents of Jamrud told Daily Times. Troops shelled Taliban strongholds in the Ghundi, Sakhipul, Tedi bazaar, Shah Zaman Kalay and Ghuriza areas of Jamrud. "Five people were killed," political administration officials said, but did not provide details. Local residents said three civilians, including a child, were killed in an area close to Tedi bazaar and Ghuriza by the shelling. Local residents said the militants put up little resistance to the operation. "There was some resistance by members of an organisation, but there was no resistance at all by the militants who appear to have left the area much earlier than the operation started," the residents said. Reuters reported NATO spokesman in Kabul Captain Mark Windsor as saying that the supply blockade "will not have a major impact, for it is temporary and we have stocks and supplies. Overall, it will be a good thing."
