The Government on February 1 approved the draft of a six-point peace agreement with a Mujahideen ‘commander’ aimed at restoring peace in South Waziristan, according to Dawn. "We have approved the text of the six-point draft agreement. We have told Mehsud tribesmen negotiating the peace deal that we have no problems with it. As far as we are concerned the draft agreement stands approved," head of security in the Federally Administered Tribal Region (FATA), Brig. Mehmood Shah said. The draft agreement reportedly stipulates that Baitullah Mehsud, ‘commander’ of the Mujahideen in South Waziristan, and his supporters would not give protection to nor support any foreign terrorist in their area. Clause II of the draft says that Baitullah or his supporters will neither fire at any Government functionary nor cause damage to Government installations, nor will they obstruct development activities in the area. The third point provides for the exemption of Baitullah and his supporters from any legal and punitive action for their past activities. It does, however, provide for 'appropriate' punitive action under the Frontier Crimes Regulation against anyone violating the agreement and makes it incumbent upon the Mehsud tribesmen to hand over offenders to the authorities.

The Government is reportedly planning to launch an operation against terrorists in North Waziristan even as US forces prepare to undertake a spring offensive in Afghanistan. This was stated by Commander of the coalition forces in Afghanistan, Lt-Gen David Barno, while talking to journalists at the US Embassy in Islamabad on April 18. While referring to a meeting of the Tripartite Commission of the United States, Afghanistan and Pakistan held earlier in the day, he said: "We collectively feel that there is a need to undertake an operation in North Waziristan. That's an area where I think the Pakistani military is about to undertake a military operation to keep pressure on terrorist networks." According to Barno, "We are in the middle of beginning a spring offensive and the Pakistani forces are busy moving troops to North Waziristan to continue to put pressure on terrorist networks."

"It is a figment of his imagination. No operation is being launched in North Waziristan. This is highly irresponsible on his part. This is unwarranted and I condemn it," Hussain told reporters. Commander of the US forces in Afghanistan, Lt-Gen David Barno, had told the media in Islamabad on April 18 that terrorists were infiltrating into Afghanistan from Pakistan and that Islamabad was planning a military operation in North Waziristan. "There is no infiltration taking place from here, rather there is infiltration from Afghanistan into Pakistan. I told Gen. Barno that due to lack of government writ in Afghanistan, weapons, explosives and ammunition are being smuggled into Pakistan from Afghanistan," claimed Hussain.

American instructors have been training Pakistan army commandos and helicopter pilots in night-vision flying and airborne assault tactics against the Al Qaeda operatives in North Waziristan, according to the US commander in Afghanistan. In an interview to New York Times on April 27, Lieutenant General David Barno said he visited the Special Services Group headquarters at Chirat on April 23 to attend graduation ceremony of two companies trained by Americans and watched a display by the units in their new Bell4 helicopters. According to Times correspondent Carlotta Gall, who interviewed Gen. Barno in Kabul, "It was the first time the US military has admitted training Pakistani Army units to help in the war against terror because of the extreme sensitivity with which the presence of American troops is regarded in Pakistan. Until now Pakistani authorities have admitted only that some US personnel are assisting with electronic surveillance in the tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan."

According to Daily Times, authorities on May 5 banned the display of weapons in North Waziristan while forming two committees to buy heavy weapons from the tribesmen. A spokesperson for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Secretariat stated that after the ban on the display of firearms in North Waziristan Agency’s main bazaars, the political administration had set up two committees to purchase heavy weapons from the tribesmen at market prices. "The public display of weapons in the agency’s main bazaar’s has been banned under a disarmament campaign in the tribal areas. Those violating the ban will be fined and their weapons will be confiscated," he said.
