At least seven persons were killed and more than 20 injured in fighting between the militants and security forces (SFs) in the Bajaur Agency on August 10, as Taliban occupied a 15-kilometre stretch of land from agency headquarters Khar to the Jaar area, Daily Times reported. Fighter aircraft and helicopter gun-ships targeted militant hideouts in the agency after paramilitary troops withdrew from the Taliban stronghold of Loyesam following three days of fierce clashes. Two helicopters and two fighter jets targeted Taliban hideouts in Loyesam, Bando, Rashakai, Tang, Jaar, Haji Lawang, Yousafabad and Charmang areas until 4pm (PST) on August 10. Approximately 40 houses were destroyed during the bombing. Taliban militants reportedly attacked the bombers with anti-aircraft guns in the Carela and Tang Khata areas. Hundreds of armed Taliban militants, meanwhile, dug trenches in Loyesam along an eight-kilometer stretch of the strategic road leading to Peshawar, capital of the NWFP. Taliban also took control of temporary check-posts in Yousafabad, Haji Lawang, and Jaar abandoned by the SFs. They also blew up an abandoned check-post in Jarmola Kilay. Witnesses said Taliban dug trenches just a furlong away from the Bajaur Scouts headquarters in Khar and occupied a bridge in Jaar. Witnesses said most of the Bajaur Agency is now under Taliban control. Local sources said 90,000 local residents had emigrated from the area, mostly to the neighbouring Dir district. NGOs are reported to have set up camps in the Munda area, between the Dir and Bajaur. An official of Inter-Services Public Relations said the Pakistan Army was not taking part in the operation and therefore, they had no details on the losses suffered by the militants, The News reported. He said the paramilitary Frontier Corps in consultation with the local political administration was conducting the operation against militants in which fighter aircraft and gunship helicopters were being used to target the positions of militants.

12 militants, including three Turkmen, some Arabs and Waziri tribal fighters, were killed and several others injured when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fired four Hellfire missiles on Shnawana village in South Waziristan (SW), along the border with Afghanistan on August 12-night. Sources informed The News from Angoor Adda, a border town between the SW and Afghanistan's Paktika province, that two pilot-less US planes were seen flying over the area during the attack on the village. They said four missiles were fired on the village in which 12 suspected militants were killed and several others injured. A house of pro-government tribal militant commander Abdur Rahman was destroyed in the attack in which Rahman and his brother Mohammad Islam died. According to residents, two US planes were hovering over the area since August 12-evening in the run-up to the drone attack. The planes fired four Hellfire missiles at around 10 pm at the compound where local and foreign militants were reportedly hiding. In Kabul, the US military said the missiles were not fired by either NATO’s International Security Assistance Force or the US-led coalition. "This is not true. We have no reports of missiles being fired into Pakistan," US-led coalition spokesman Lieutenant Nathan Perry told AFP.

A senior al Qaeda operative and 17 other militants were killed and several others sustained injuries when low-flying helicopters bombed their positions in the Bajaur Agency of the FATA, Dawn reported. Sources said Abu Saeed al-Masri alias Mustafa Mohammad Ahmad was killed in the air strike. The Egyptian-born Abu Saeed was reported to be a senior member of the Majlis-i-Shura and financial chief of al Qaeda. They said that Cobra helicopters precisely targeted militants’ positions in Shahnari, Haji Lawang, Ragha Dagg and Takht areas where security forces had been using air power since August 8. The helicopters attacked militants’ hideouts in Shahnari, killing 13 Taliban militants. They also hit four vehicles in Takht, killing five militants and injuring three others. However, a spokesman for the Tehrik-i-Taliban denied that any foreign militant had been killed, AFP reported. "I strongly contradict reports that Abu Saeed al-Masri was killed in Bajaur. There are no foreigners," Omar said. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the security agencies had intelligence on presence of top al Qaeda operative Abu Mustafa Al Yazid but his death could not be confirmed as yet by "contacts on the ground", Daily Times reported.

Six Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel and seven civilians were killed and 14 persons were wounded when a car bomb exploded near a bridge on the main Peshawar-Kohat Road in the southern part of Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on August 12-morning, Dawn reported.

Police said it was not yet clear whether it was a case of suicide attack or of a bomb detonated by remote control. Among the dead were a six-year-old girl and two women who were going to a wedding ceremony. An unnamed police official told Dawn that the attack could be a revenge action for the military operation in Swat, Bajaur and other tribal areas. Bomb disposal personnel said the explosives used for the blast weighed over 20 kilograms. According to BBC, Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was in response to military operations against militants in the Bajaur Agency.

Pakistan Air Force fighter aircraft and military gunship helicopters continued targeting suspected hideouts of militants in the Bajaur Agency, killing 21 more people, including three civilians, and injuring several others, The News reported. Official and tribal sources said that fighter aircraft and the Pakistan Army Cobra gunship choppers heavily bombarded suspected militant positions and hideouts in various parts of Bajaur Agency, including Pashat, Naraza and Mulla Said Banda in Salarzai sub-division and Inam Khwaro and Damadola in the Mamond sub-division. The officials claimed 12 militants were killed in the air strikes. In Jar Kalley of Utmankhel sub-division, a group of militants sitting on the roadside to target the troops through IEDs were targeted by gunship choppers that killed six militants. In Pashat village, three tribesmen, including an elder, were killed when his house came under attack from a warplane. There were complaints by the fleeing tribal populace that fighter aircraft and military choppers were mostly bombing civilian populations and villages rather than the militants still moving and operating freely in their strongholds in Mamond, Salarzai, Utmankhel and Inayat Kalley. Residents also complained that despite heavy bombing by the security forces for the past several days, the militants were still occupying roadside checkpoints and security posts vacated by the paramilitary Bajaur Scouts along the border with Afghanistan.

32 persons, including seven policemen, were killed and 55 others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the emergency ward of the District Headquarters Hospital in Dera Ismail Khan on August 19, Dawn reported. The attack was carried out when a large number of people had gathered there to protest against the murder of the local Shia leader Basit Ali earlier in the day. Attacked by a gunman near the Faqirni Gate, he was brought to the hospital where he died. Police said the 20 year-old suicide bomber blew himself up in the presence of police personnel who were trying to control the crowd. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack. TTP spokesman Maulvi Omar told Dawn they had targeted police and other Government officials and "did not intend to attack any specific religious sect (the Shia)." He said suicide attacks would continue till the military operations in Bajaur and Swat were stopped. The explosion took place amid tension between the Sunni and Shia communities in the region that has spawned several targeted killings in recent weeks. "The motive behind the blast appeared to be sectarian and Shia protesters were the apparent target," said a police official.

Twelve persons, most of them alleged foreign fighters, were killed and five others sustained injuries when a US Predator fired two Hellfire missiles on a house in the Zari Noor village of South Waziristan on August 20, The News reported. Military Spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the incident but said he would not confirm whether it was a missile or rocket attack. He said he had heard that 8-12 people had been killed in the explosions. The military spokesman, however, denied reports that a US Predator had fired Hellfire missiles on the Pakistani territory. Tribal sources said a house and Hujra (male guesthouse) owned by a local tribal elder, Mohammad Yaqub Mughalkhel Wazir, were hit by the missiles. "Before the attack at around 4 pm, a black colour plane was flying at a low altitude over the village and almost half-an-hour later another white colour plane fired two missiles that razed the buildings," said a local tribesman Mohammad Siyar Wazir. Militants affiliated to ‘commander’ Maulvi Nazeer reportedly cordoned off the village and the damaged buildings soon after the attack and barred the tribesmen from going to the incident site. Tribal sources based in Wana said the majority of those killed in the air strikes were reported to be Arab fighters staying as guests with the Wazir tribal elder.

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up on August 21 at the gates of the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) in the high security cantonment town of Wah in Rawalpindi District of Punjab, killing at least 70 persons in what was described as the deadliest attack on a military installation in the country’s history, Dawn reported. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. The POF at Wah is a cluster of about 20 industrial units producing artillery, tank and anti-aircraft ammunition for the Pakistani armed forces, according to Daily Times. It employs around 25,000 to 30,000 workers. The bombers blew themselves up outside two gates of the factory at 2.35pm (PST) when hundreds of workers were leaving after a shift change. Most of the victims were civilian workers. The first explosion occurred outside the main gate and it was followed by an equally powerful blast at gate No.1 located close to a busy market. Witnesses said the bombers were on foot and they exploded themselves within a minute of each other. The death toll could increase as 35 of the injured were in critical condition, hospital sources said. Security force personnel found a ‘suicide vest’ in the toilet of a nearby mosque and arrested a suspected suicide bomber, Hameedullah of Khyber Agency, from the Mall Road. According to sources, police arrested three suspects. One of them was said to be "covering up" the suicide bombers. A belt filled with explosives was also found in a mosque, the sources said. Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar claimed responsibility of the suicide attacks saying that they had been carried out in retaliation for military operations in Bajaur and Swat. Talking to Dawn, he warned that such attacks would also be carried out in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Mardan, Bannu, Kohat and Swat.

Ten army soldiers, seven policemen, 50 militants and a number of civilians were killed in a suicide attack on a police station and the subsequent military operation in Swat on August 23, Dawn reported. A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden jeep into the Charbagh police station at 7.45am (PST), killing four policemen and three civilians. 20 others were wounded. About 100kg of explosives were reportedly used in the attack. Military spokesman in Swat, Major Nasir Ali, told Dawn that soon after the suicide attack, security forces (SFs), backed by helicopter gunships, targeted militants’ hideouts in the valley, killing 50 Taliban militants, including their top commanders and foreigners. Ten army soldiers were killed and seven others injured in the fighting and three army vehicles were damaged. Several militant hideouts, including their command and control centre in Kabal, were destroyed. Major Nasir said the operation would continue till all objectives were achieved and the government’s writ was restored. However, the Taliban dismissed the military version, claiming in turn that they had killed 33 SF personnel. Spokesman Muslim Khan said that the Taliban had carried out the suicide attack in reaction to the killing of 14 militants in Doaba in the Hangu district on August 22.

13 more persons were killed in continuing violence in the Swat district of the NWFP on August 24 while two more bodies were retrieved from the rubble of the Charbagh police post, blown up in a suicide attack on August 23, The News reported. Tension prevailed in the Kabal sub-division where the security forces (SFs), backed by gunship helicopters and artillery, carried out a daylong operation against militants. The military said that it had destroyed the centre, which served as one of the militants’ main command and control, logistic-cum-training and launching pads for terrorist activities and killed about 10-15 foreign militants, including Chechens, Uzbeks and Tajiks. According to the military, the slain foreigners belonged to Tahir Yuldeshev’s Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). "We have credible information about the killing of 10-15 foreign militants out of the 45 killed on Saturday," the ISPR spokesman in Swat, Nasir Ali, told The News. He claimed most parts of Kabal had been cleared of the militants and action would continue till the elimination or eviction of the militants in other parts. However, a spokesman for the Swat unit of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Muslim Khan, rejected the military claim about the killing of foreign militants as baseless. He also disputed the claim about the killing of 45-50 militants in Kabal as unfounded and said instead 30 corpses of the security forces personnel were lying scattered in Kabal. The spokesman also asked parents and other relatives of soldiers to stop their loved ones from coming to Swat for taking part in the military operation in the valley or no "requests" of their relatives after their arrest would be accepted.

At least 23 Taliban militants and two soldiers were killed, while 20 militants and seven soldiers were injured on August 27 after clashes broke out in different areas of South Waziristan, Dawn reported. Sources said that the Taliban attacked a check-post in Tiarza, three kilometers off Wana on August 26-night. The security forces (SFs) countered the attack, killing 11 militants and injuring 20 others. Fierce fighting between the two sides reportedly continued throughout August 27. Two soldiers were killed and seven others sustained injuries when the Taliban attacked three army vehicles near Wana bazaar in the evening. Fighting was intensified in different areas after the attack on the army convoy. Sources added that 12 more militants were killed in the clashes. Further, a woman and a man were killed after a mortar shell hit their house. Militant commander Maulvi Nazir has denied that the Taliban were involved in the attack on the Tiarza check-post. He suspected that Meshud tribesmen might be involved in the attack as the check-post was on the border between the areas of Wazir and Mehsud tribes. Ahmadullah Ahmadi, a spokesman for the militant group of Hafiz Gul Bahadar and Maulvi Nazir, said that the Taliban had declared a unilateral cease-fire till August 30 in the tribal area.

At least 25 militants, including two Taliban commanders, were killed in an air strike on militant hideouts in the Swat valley of the NWFP on August 29, Daily Times reported. A private jail and an ammunition depot of militants were among the air strike targets. A military spokesman in Swat told AFP that "a core of militants" had perished in the operation. "Their command and communications structure has also been destroyed. This was their key area where they had set up ammunition depots, which were also demolished… This strike was carried out after intelligence that top Taliban cleric Mullah Fazlullah was hiding there," the security official said, but he was unable to confirm if the main target was among the dead, according to Dawn. Military spokesman in Swat Major Nasir Ali told Dawn: "Ammunition dumps in the Peuchar area have been blown up in the heavy bombing. Smoke is billowing from the targeted site."
