The Pakistan Army claimed on December 8 that it has cleared almost all militants from Swat after killing 290 rebels and arresting another 143 in recent weeks. According to AFP, Major General Nasser Janjua said 20,000 troops backed by helicopter gun ships and artillery had driven the militants out of their strongholds in an ongoing military operation. “Fazlullah is still on the run with hardcore militants estimated to be between 200 to 400, including some foreigners,” Janjua told reporters in Mingora, and added, “The militants have retreated to two places in the mountains in the northwest of the valley and we will chase them there.” However, Janjua was careful not to claim success, saying the militants remain dangerous and likely will try to regroup for at least one major counter-attack, adds Associated Press. He said officials believe that some of the fighters loyal to Fazlullah have melted into the local populace, while the hardcore supporters have been pushed into the Piochar side valley. He also said Fazlullah had been involved with the “enemy”, and claimed al Qaeda had played a role in the unrest in the conservative region. He informed that said five soldiers and six civilians had been killed in the operation and around 20 civilians had also been wounded. He opined that it would take up to four months to stabilise the region, adding that it would take at least 12 months to reopen the region to tourists.

According to The Post, the death toll in the suicide bombing at a mosque in the Sherpao town of Charsadda district in the NWFP on December 21 has increased to 60. As reported earlier, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded Eid-ul-Azha (festival of sacrifice) congregation in the hometown of former interior minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao in the early hours on December 21. Sherpao narrowly escaped the attack while his younger son Mustafa Sherpao sustained injuries. Quoting eye witnesses, the District Police Officer Feroz Shah said that Sherpao and his son remained safe because they were standing in the first row while the suicide bomber blew himself up in the eighth row. The newspaper added that more than seven students from a religious seminary had been arrested in connection with the attack. Meanwhile, two Afghan refugees were among four suspects arrested in connection with the suicide attack, Dawn reported. Security officials said the men, one of them a seminary student as well as a local prayer leader, were arrested in addition to two others detained earlier. This was the second attempt on the life of Sherpao. On April 28, 2007, thirty-one persons were killed and the then Interior Minister Sherpao and his young son Sikandar Sherpao Khan were among several people wounded in a suicide attack, moments after the Minister finished a speech at a public rally in his hometown Charsadda. An intelligence official said the second assassination attempt appeared to have been carried out by the same group which had organised the first attack. The group behind the first attack, he informed, was based in the neighbouring Mohmand tribal region.
