In Peuchar, the Taliban attacked a SFs’ check-post, which was retaliated and 13 militants were killed while one of their vehicles destroyed, the ISPR said in a statement. The troops had successfully been linked up in Odigram, where the Police force joined the Army troops.

Troops have secured several important areas in Mingora, including a crossing infamous for beheadings carried out by the Taliban, said Security Forces (SFs) on May 24 as the military killed 10 more militants in various areas of Swat District, Daily Times reported. The Inter-Services Public Relations said 10 militants and three soldiers were killed in gun-battles in various areas of Swat, while 14 militants were also arrested. Five of the militants were killed in Malam Jabba when the SFs were tipped off about their presence in the area. The troops secured various important areas in Mingora – including Wattakai Chowk, Nawakilli Chowk, Nishat Chowk, Sirafe Chowk, Gulshan Chowk, Green Chowk, Haji Baba Chowk and Sohrab Chowk – in the 24 hours preceding the latest ISPR update on the operation. Green Chowk is infamous for beheadings carried out by the Taliban. The military said troops defused four improvised explosive devices (IED) during the operation in Mingora. Further, after surrounding Peochar valley, troops entered Peochar village and seized a huge cache of arms from Taliban hideouts and overtook a factory manufacturing bombs and IEDs.

Security Forces (SFs) have gained control of half of Mingora city and killed 29 militants in various areas of Swat Valley during the last 24 hours besides arresting 14 others, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas said on May 26, The News reported. “Six soldiers also laid down their lives and 11 others sustained injuries,” he told reporters at a press briefing in Islamabad. “More than half of Mingora is under the army’s control. We have plugged all escape routes for militants,” said Abbas, adding that pockets of “hardcore militants” remained. The military spokesman said the operation was progressing well despite stiff resistance by the militants. He said street fights and house-to-house search was going on in Mingora city. Athar said 18 militants were killed in Mingora during an encounter and seven others were arrested when they were trying to escape towards Buner District. He said four improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also defused in the area. The Malakand-Qambar-Mingora road has reportedly been opened for traffic. In Qambar, SFs defused 12 IEDs and also recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition. The Kanju-Kabal road has also been cleared and fierce fighting is reportedly underway for securing Kabal. In Peuchar, the military spokesman said SFs continued a cordon and search operation and destroyed Taliban strongholds at Mano Derai. During the exchange of fire, three militants were killed while three others were arrested. A remote controlled IED was also defused at Pir Killay by the troops. Security forces have also cleared Sakhra Valley, the main route of the militants’ movement from Peuchar towards Kalam and other areas. About Buner, he said 90 percent area of the District had been cleared although some terrorists are present at Pir Baba. During search at check-posts, four militants have been arrested, he said. He added that in the night of May 25, about 100 to 120 militants attacked the Kalpani post in Dir Lower District from three directions and the attack was repulsed and militants suffered heavy casualties. Eight bodies have been recovered in close vicinity of the check-post. Two SF personnel were also killed in the incident and three others were wounded. The military spokesman rejected reports that a fresh group of trained terrorists had entered the troubled area. To a question as to why the senior leadership of the Taliban could not be targeted, he said it was essential to keep certain things confidential to achieve success. The terrorists are being surrounded and their morale is going down, he claimed.

The Security Forces (SFs) on May 25 claimed to have secured the training centre and logistic base of militants in the Malam Jabba area of Swat Valley, The News reported. SFs also killed four militants during operations in the Fizagat and Peuchar areas and arrested eight others.

According to the ISPR media update, a known militant commander identified as Ghaniur Rehman has been arrested by the troops during the search and cordon operation. He was allegedly involved in killing police officials. A local elder said there were some 40-50 militants in Bahrain but they fled the town on May 27-evening when they came to know about the arrival of the SFs. “They (Taliban) are avoiding fighting with the security forces now and are running,” he said and added the militants had shifted to Kalam. The elder said the group of Taliban militants in Kalam was commanded by one Khushmir, a resident of Gilgit. He said five militants were killed in a clash in Bahrain. The ISPR said an explosive-laden vehicle was destroyed and two militants were killed at Satal, four kilometers short of Bahrain town. Though there were conflicting reports about casualties in the Satal incident, a man from Kalam claimed that a Taliban commander, identified as Wazifa, had been killed in the clash along with seven other militants. He claimed a ‘deputy commander’ of the militants in the area, Hameedi, confirmed the death of Wazifa. Some residents of Kanju, who managed to reach the provincial capital Peshawar on May 28, said Mingora, Kanju and Kabal towns were almost cleared as the Taliban had vacated these areas. “They have moved towards mountains,” they said. Two militants, according to the ISPR, were killed during an exchange of fire between the Taliban and SFs in Malam Jabba. The SFs also continued action in Peuchar village and carried out cordon and search operations there. The troops also ambushed a group of 15-20 militants at Manodherai and killed three of them while four others were arrested. One soldier sustained injuries in the incident. Further, a convoy of eight Army trucks carrying relief and food destined for Barikot and Mingora was ambushed at Landakay near Barikot. Four soldiers, the ISPR said, were killed in the incident but relief goods were transported safely and distributed among stranded people of Mingora.

Police have arrested 39 suspected Taliban militants hiding among the IDPs of Swat and other regions of Malakand, a senior officer said on May 29, Daily Times reported. The arrests, made in the past few days, were the first of the Taliban among more than two million people who have fled the fighting. One dozen of the militants were arrested in IDP camps south of the Swat region, while the others were arrested from houses where the IDPs were staying with relatives or were renting, said Syed Akhtar Ali Shah, the Police chief in Mardan, a town that hosts some of the approximately one dozen relief camps. "These Taliban have mixed up themselves among the refugees," Shah told The Associated Press. They had cut their hair short and shaved their beards in a bid to disguise themselves from authorities and blend in with civilians, he said.
