The North West Frontier Province Governor, Khalil-ur-Rehman, claimed in Miranshah on February 23 that the Government has suspended operations in North Waziristan because it believes that tribesmen are able to restore peace and normalcy through their own customs and traditions, according to Dawn. "It doesn’t mean that the government has backed out of its earlier determination. Rather we want to show that the tribesmen can improve the situation themselves," he added. "However, if there is no improvement, the operations will resume with full vigour and severity," he warned.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the North West Frontier Province Governor’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas Secretariat denied on March 16 that local Taliban had been allowed to open offices in Wana to enforce Islamic law in South Waziristan. “No office has been opened or is in the process of opening in Wana under the auspices of seminary students or so-called Taliban,” he said. “Some newspapers in their reports and editorial comments have painted a very grim picture of the situation in South Waziristan…This is completely baseless,” the spokesman added.

Police in Tank said the three, who were carrying explosives and ammunition when they were detained, had confessed to being members of the Hizb during initial interrogation on March 28. On March 29, a senior police officer in Tank informed that the men hailed from Karachi and had been staying with a colleague, identified as Faizullah, from the Hizb in Wana. Hizb spokesman Saleem Hashmi said the allegation that the group’s cadres were roaming around the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan was an attempt to "blacken the name of Kashmiri fighters."

A Government spokesperson informed on April 6 that 43 terrorists and three soldiers had died during the clashes at Shawal and Datakhel in North Waziristan a day earlier. Official sources said two children and a woman were injured while several houses were damaged after security forces (SFs) had started shelling in response to the terrorist attack near Miranshah on April 6-night, according to Dawn. Troops resorted to heavy artillery shelling when suspected terrorists fired two rockets on the SFs in Miranshah. Locals said artillery shells had hit several residential compounds in the Tolkhel, Qutabkhel and Chashma villages near Miranshah.

The Pakistan Army is in full control of Waziristan, where 324 militants have been killed in operations over the past nine months, officials said on April 29, according to Daily Times. The military made the claim as they accompanied a team of foreign journalists to Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan near the border with Afghanistan. Briefing the journalists, top officials said 39 "major operations" had been conducted since July 2005 to flush out Al Qaeda-linked foreign and local militants. They said 142 militants had been arrested and 76 foreign militants and 56 soldiers had been killed in the operations. Miranshah was the scene of fierce battles between pro-Taliban militants and the army in March 2006 which killed 145 militants, chief military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told reporters. He said up to 1,500 militants had attacked Miranshah and described the March 4-8 clashes as the heaviest in the region. The officer in charge of operations in Waziristan, Major General Akram Sahi, insisted the army was in control in North Waziristan and said reports that the Taliban had taken over the area were "untrue". "The situation is not absolutely peaceful... But, to say that there is no writ of the government, it is absolutely wrong," said Sultan. He said some 31,000 regular troops and 14,000 paramilitary soldiers were deployed in North Waziristan.

The Government is reportedly considering reforming the Northern Areas administration, including banning local police officials from carrying weapons after duty hours. Sources in the Ministry of Kashmir Affairs and Northern Areas told Daily Times that the Government is considering several proposals to eliminate sectarianism from these areas. They said the Government could make a new law, binding all local officials to return weapons to their offices after duty hours. The Government was also considering a proposal to start capacity-building courses for Northern Areas police officials, adding that it was planning not to consider the sect of a police official while deploying him in any area, sources added.

Explosions from Karachi to Neelum valley and the present insurgency in Balochistan and North Waziristan are conspiracies of the Indian intelligence and its military, said Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘supreme commander’ and chairman of the Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) Syed Salahuddin on May 21, reported The News. Addressing the Shan-e-Mustafa conference at Kasur in Punjab, he warned if Pakistan showed any kind of retreat or leniency on Kashmir issue at this critical stage, it would destabilise Pakistan because Jihad in Kashmir has entered a decisive stage and showing cowardice would provide an opportunity for Indian forces to infiltrate Balochistan and Waziristan. Criticising the Pakistani Government policy towards India, Salahuddin said Pakistan is fostering friendly relations with India in every field but contrary to this India is responding in shape of intervening in Balochistan and North West Frontier Province.

Rejecting reports of Osama bin Laden’s presence in the remote Kumrat Valley of the district Dir Upper in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and the threat of a possible US attack against the Al Qaeda chief as baseless, Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on said on May 28, “There is no such threat.” “These are mere speculations, mostly raised by the Hamid Karzai-led Afghan government. There is no possibility of presence of Osama, or his men in the forests and hard terrains of Dir Upper, or anywhere else in the country. Hence there is no threat of any attack by coalition forces,” Sherpao told reporters after his address to a tribal council in the Mohmand tribal agency in NWFP, The News reported. Hamid Karzai and his Government functionaries, instead of leveling allegations against Pakistan to hide their failure, should put their own house in order, he said. “Pakistan has been extending maximum cooperation and assistance to Afghanistan for restoration of peace in the war-ravaged country, as a stable Afghanistan is vital for us also,” he added.

A US intelligence agency expert told a US court this week that Pakistan is still running a terrorist training camp at Balakot in the North West Frontier Province, according to Dawn. Eric Benn, a terrorism expert for Defence Intelligence Agency, told the district court in California that there was 70 per cent ‘probability’ the satellite images of a place near Balakot were that of a militant training camp. The US intelligence agent showed the jury satellite images taken between 2001 and 2004 but he claimed that the facility in question seemed to have expanded since then. “It may have become less temporary and more permanent,” he testified. The images showed a 3km trail linked to the main road and dotted with several structures that seemed to reflect a guard house, barracks with a tin roof and perhaps some mud houses as well, the reports said. The court is hearing terrorism charges against two Pakistani-Americans, 23-year old Hamid Hayat and his father Umer Hayat. Hamid’s sentencing has been postponed by four months to November and his father Umer Hayat, charged with lying to federal authorities, is being retried after the first round ended in a hung jury.

The tribal elder also claimed the local Taliban were in “complete control of all mujahideen, both local and foreign”, in the area and could forcibly stop them if necessary.

Over 1,000 trained Kashmiri militants are "currently stranded" in three camps of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in the Hazara region of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), a Press Trust of India report quoted the Pakistan-based Herald magazine. "Of these, the Hisari and Batrasi camps are located in Mansehra district while a third camp is located in Boi in district Abbottabad," Herald reported. It quoted unnamed sources to say that thousands of other terrorists were confined in camps run by half a dozen smaller Kashmiri groups or predominantly Pakistani outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Al-Badr Mujahideen in the frontier and Pakistan occupied Kashmir regions. The report quoted an unnamed Islamabad-based militant leader as saying that the top brass of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had "conveyed to the Kashmiri militant leaders in January 2006 that they should not even think of crossing the Line of Control (LoC), armed or unarmed." It said the official funding traditionally made up the "bulk" of the financial inflows of these groups. Quoting "knowledgeable sources", the Herald said "until recently”, small groups like the Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Umar Mujahideen, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Fatah, Al-Jihad, Al-Barq, Tehrik-e-Jihad, and Islamic Front were receiving between 400,000 and 700,000 rupees a month. "Large organisations like HM, LeT, JeM, Al-Badr Mujahideen and others received more money, ranging between two to three million rupees," it said. "This was in addition to the funds that paid for the logistics, communication equipment, weapons, explosives, food and trekking kits for the thousands of militants, guides and porters who infiltrated," into Jammu and Kashmir.

The local Taliban have set up their office in Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan, for ‘curbing crimes and anti-social activities’ in the area, according to Dawn. Announcements were made and pamphlets distributed in the town on September 27, asking residents to co-operate with the Taliban in keeping peace in the area. The office has reportedly been set up on the premises of the main bus stand in Miranshah. The Taliban Shura has appointed a committee to run the office. “There is complete lawlessness in the area and crimes have increased. So after the peace accord Taliban have set up office to serve residents of the area and restore peace,” read one pamphlet, referring to the agreement signed between the Government and the Taliban on September 5. Another leaflet posted around Miranshah said clerics would be collecting funds to pay for a force aimed at protecting people from criminals. The Taliban have imposed ban on the movement of ‘masked men’ in the agency and asked people to inform them if anybody found moving about in the area with his face covered. The pamphlet said that if an incident of robbery, dacoity or any other criminal act occurred in the area, people should immediately contact the Taliban by phone or lodge a complaint at their office.

A man claiming to represent ‘Pakistani Taliban’ accepted responsibility for the suicide attack and threatened more such assaults to avenge the loss of the 83 people died in the Bajaur aerial strikes. In a phone call to The News from an undisclosed location, the Pashto-speaking man said a lone suicide bomber detonated his explosives-filled belt at the military parade ground near the fort in Dargai to kill soldiers undergoing training there. The caller identified his leader and commander as Abu Kalim Mohammad Ansari. The caller also claimed the suicide bomber had recorded a statement on camera before setting off on his mission. “He explained as to why he was undertaking the “Fidayee” attack. We have the recording and it would be sent to media at an appropriate time,” he said. He described the suicide bomber as a young Pashtun from the NWFP. Claiming that 275 volunteers had offered to take part in suicide bombings following the Bajaur attack, the caller argued that the ‘Pakistani Taliban’ had changed their earlier policy not to fight the Pakistan Army and the government.
