A suspected United States missile strike on January 1 killed at least five Taliban militants in South Waziristan Agency, Daily Times reported. A local security official told AFP a US drone had fired three missiles in the Karikot area of Wana in the agency - the same spot where eight suspected militants were killed in a US drone strike 10 days ago. One of the missiles struck a vehicle, killing all five passengers, another security official said, adding those killed were known Taliban militants. The other two missiles hit a hilltop house that was a known Taliban hideout, but was empty at the time of the strike, the officials said. One militant was injured in the strike, they added. AP reported that at least three of those killed in the attack on the vehicle were from a Central Asian country.

Four militants were killed and three others injured when a CIA-operated spy plane fired two Hellfire missiles at a Government-run girls’ school in the Ladha sub-division of South Waziristan Agency (SWA) on January 2, the second attack in as many days. Tribal sources told The News that two pilotless spy planes were seen hovering over the Mehsud-inhabited areas before the air strikes on the school and a nearby-parked car. The drone reportedly fired two Hellfire missiles, one of them hitting the building of the Government Girls’ Primary School, Maidan Naray, and the other destroying the car owned by the militants. According to sources, four militants reportedly belonging to the Punjab, died and three others sustained injuries in the attack. They said dozens of militants later arrived and retrieved the bodies of their slain colleagues and injured from the rubble of the school building. Sources said the school building was owned by a local tribesman, Maqbool Mehsud Shamankhel, but was occupied by the militants who were using it as their base camp. Tribal sources said dozens of Government and private schools had been going without teachers and students in the Mehsud-inhabited areas and were now being used as training camps by the militants or for other purposes by the owners.

At least 30 suspected militants were killed and three others sustained injuries in a missile strike on a refugee camp in the Kurram Agency on February 16. According to Daily Times, the three missiles believed to have been fired from a US unmanned aircraft destroyed a house used by a local Taliban commander. It was the first known drone strike in Kurram, AP reported. An unnamed intelligence official said field informants reported that Taliban showed up at the village bazaar and ordered 30 caskets. However, political authorities have only confirmed 18 deaths from four missiles fired by two unmanned aircraft, while the local Taliban have claimed a death toll of 12. “Afghan Taliban were holding an important meeting there when the missiles were fired,” an intelligence official in the area told Reuters. After the attack, the Taliban surrounded the area and were not allowing anyone near, witnesses said. “They have taken nine bodies to Afghanistan while the rest of them are being buried here,” one intelligence official said. According to local sources, former Afghan premier Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s Hizb-e-Islami was running the refugee camp. Kurram’s top administrator, Arshad Majeed Mohmand, confirmed the strike and said according to his information three missiles were fired, but he had no details about the casualties, Reuters added. Surkh Pul, the locality of the drone attack, was once reserved for Afghan refugees and a school was built for their children, The News reported. After the forced repatriation of the Afghan refugees from the area, the militants reportedly started arriving there and rebuild some of the damaged houses. Sources said the US planes targeted the school and the adjacent house, where around three dozen militants were residing. Taliban commanders said majority of the slain militants belonged to Afghanistan’s Khost province and they were secretly laid to rest at Ahmadi Shama graveyard near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Lower Kurram.

Witnesses said they heard a huge explosion just as the Imam (prayer leader) concluded his Friday sermon and the people stood up for the Friday prayer. The dead included the prayer leader, his brother, four personnel of the Frontier Corps and 12 Khassadars (tribal police). The others were tribesmen belonging to the nearby villages, Pakistani and Afghan civilians traveling between Peshawar and Torkham, and drivers and conductors of trucks carrying goods to neighbouring Afghanistan. While the Khyber Agency Political Agent Tariq Hayat has confirmed that it was a suicide attack, the Associated Press reported that a Government official has accused the Taliban of carrying out the bombing in revenge for a recent offensive aimed in part at protecting the major supply route for NATO and US troops in Afghanistan that passes in front of the mosque.

Two women were killed on April 19-night as militants blew up a house in Kalaya, headquarters of the Orakzai Agency, to punish a girl and a boy in an honour-related case. The Taliban militants had reportedly planted explosives in the house of the alleged paramour of the girl where she was also living. The boy had fled the area leaving behind the girl with his parents after the Taliban got involved in the case. The girl, who belongs to the Bezote area, sustained minor injuries in the blast. Locals told Dawn on April 20 that a Sunni girl had fled with a Shia man from the Bezote area to Kalaya in the lower Orakzai Agency during March 2009. This had infuriated the Taliban who asked the tribesmen to hand over both the girl and the man for "execution under tribal customs". The tribesmen had refused after which the Taliban kidnapped a man of the Kalaya tribe and started killing passengers passing through the area.

22 soldiers were killed and 35 others injured in two separate attacks by militants in North and South Waziristan agencies on June 28, The News reported. In addition, 22 militants were also killed in the day-long military operations by Security Forces (SFs) in the region. 20 Pakistan Army soldiers, including a senior officer, were killed and 35 others sustained injuries when dozens of militants, affiliated with Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur, ambushed a military convoy in the Madakhel area of North Waziristan Agency. Further, 12 militants and two soldiers were killed in the ongoing offensive in neighbouring South Waziristan Agency. Ahmadullah Ahmadi, a spokesman for the Hafiz Gul Bahadur-led Taliban in North Waziristan claimed responsibility for the attack on the military convoy and warned to continue similar attacks on the SFs in the region till the US drone strikes were not stopped. Ahmadi phoned The News from Miranshah and claimed 60 soldiers were killed and 15 vehicles were destroyed in the ambush. The Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the attack and said 12 soldiers were dead and 10 others wounded. Athar Abbas told The News that 10 terrorists were later killed when the Pakistan Army gunship choppers targeted positions of the terrorists where they had ambushed the military convoy.

The Pakistan Army on July 1 ruled out launching a military operation against the Taliban in North Waziristan and pledged to honour the February 17, 2008 peace accord signed with the tribes despite the unprovoked attacks against its troops, The News reported. However, violence continued in the area as three persons, including two women and a child, were killed and six others sustained injuries when military helicopters targeted Madakhel village in the morning of July 1. The bombing was reportedly in retaliation for the recent attack by the militants on a military convoy in which 30 soldiers were killed and 35 injured. Six other villagers, including four women and two children, sustained serious injuries in the shelling by helicopters. Amidst apprehension about an imminent military operation in North Waziristan, the Pakistan Army reportedly dropped leaflets written in Pashto and Urdu from helicopters to assure the tribesmen that it had no intention of launching action in the agency. The leaflets pointed out that some ‘miscreants’ were trying their best to destroy peace and damage ties between the Government and Utmanzai Wazir tribes.

13 persons were killed and seven others sustained injuries in a US drone attack in South Waziristan Agency, while eight persons died when fighter planes targeted a hotel in North Waziristan Agency on July 3, The News reported. Tribal sources said a US drone fired three missiles at the office of Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud in Serwakai sub-division at 9 am, killing 13 persons present in the office and injuring seven others. It was reported that Mufti Noor Wali had left the office 15 minutes prior to the attack to attend a jirga (council of elders). The militants surrounded the area after the attack and nobody was reportedly allowed to approach the site. Another drone attack was carried out in the Mantoi area of Ladha sub-division, where three missiles were fired at a madrassa (seminary), completely destroying the building. However, no loss of life was reported in the attack. An official of the political administration confirmed the drone strikes and added that authorities were trying to ascertain the casualties. In addition, an AP report stated that US missiles struck a training facility operated by Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud and a militant communication centre in South Waziristan Agency on July 3, killing 17 people and injuring 27 others. In one attack, two missiles struck an abandoned seminary in Mantoi that was being used by the militants belonging to the Mehsud’s group for training, officials said. In another strike, a missile hit a militant communications centre in the nearby village of Kokat Khel. In total, 17 people were killed and 27 others were injured, they said. However, Maulvi Noor Syed, an aide to Mehsud, told The Associated Press that three Taliban militants died in the strikes. “We lost only three Mujahideen in today’s American missile attack,” Syed said, adding “These attacks cannot cause any damage to us.”

The Security Forces (SFs) were only a few kilometres from Srarogha, the stronghold of the Hakeemullah Mehsud-led Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), on the 12th day of the Operation Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency on October 28, The News reported. Sources said some militants were fleeing to North Waziristan from the Srarogha side and via the Shawal Road from Makeen due to increased pressure from the advancing troops. Local sources said the troops were heading for Srarogha after getting full control of Kotkai and securing the surrounding areas and ridges. "The next important point is Srarogha, where a tough battle is expected once the troops get close," said a political administration official. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said 25 militants were killed and a huge cache of arms and ammunition were recovered. Five soldiers sustained injuries in the clashes and in attacks from the militants in different areas, it added. The ISPR said SFs made considerable progress on the Kotkai-Srarogha axis and secured the area overlooking the TTP stronghold of Srarogha. Eight militants were killed and three soldiers were wounded in incidents in that area. The statement also said 25 Taliban training centres and nine caves were destroyed in Kotkai while three more training centres were overrun in the Murghaband area. According to tribesmen, the Kaniguram village on the Shakai-Kaniguram axis is a strong base of militants, where mostly Uzbeks were based. The troops secured an important area of Karwan Manza, located two kilometres east of Kaniguram. SFs also continued a search for militants and arms in Nawazkot, a strategic village located on the Razmak-Makeen axis.Local sources said that the SFs would be able to capture the high points of Asman Manza after getting control of Kaniguram, which is currently under a siege. Control over Asman Manza and Karwan Manza would enable the troops to advance on Kokatkhel, Karama, Delay, Mashta, Badar and other areas of Ladha sub-division and Sarwekai, the sources said. They added that six militants were killed and four injured in a clash with the SFs in the Sherkot area. Fighter planes bombed TTP hideouts in Ladha, Maidan, Patwelai and other areas, but there were no reports about casualties. The ISPR chief, Major General Athar Abbas, while addressing a press conference in the federal capital Islamabad, said Uzbek fighters had made Mehsud and other tribes hostage, adding that Mehsud tribes were not linked with these foreigners. "As soon as the area is cleansed from terrorists, including foreigners, the Mehsud tribesmen will return to their area to resume their own system," he said. Abbas said it was confirmed, through interceptions, that TTP ‘commander’ Waliur Rehman was present in the area but nothing could be said about Hakeemullah Mehsud. He rejected the impression that the TTP had made a tactical withdrawal from Kotkai to launch another assault, saying that the Taliban leadership was on the run.
