Sixteen terrorists were killed and 19 arrested after security forces (SFs) retaliated to two attacks at two sites in North Waziristan on April 5.

Nawab Akbar Bugti, the leader of the Bugti tribe and President of the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) and also the driving force behind the anti-Government rebellion in Balochistan, was killed in a massive military operation in the Bhambore Hills, an area between the cities of Kohlu and Dera Bugti in the Balochistan Province on August 26, according to Daily Times. “Yes, Nawab Bugti has been killed in the operation,” said Federal Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani. As many as 21 army commandos and 37 rebels had also been killed in the same operation, which targeted 50 to 80 of Nawab Bugti’s closest family members and top commanders. Reports also indicated that Balochistan Liberation Army Chief Balach Marri and Nawab Bugti’s grandsons Brahamdagh and Mir Ali Bugti were also killed in the fighting. Nawab Bugti’s location was discovered three days ago and security forces had besieged the hills where he was hiding, the report added. Sources said that Nawab Bugti’s whereabouts were established by monitoring satellite phone intercepts. “It is presumed that Akbar Bugti and a number of other terrorists have been killed,” an official statement said. It said that heavy fire was exchanged, which resulted in a cave-in, which buried all those inside, including Nawab Bugti and a large number of his top aides.

Security forces (SFs) are reported to have killed at least 41 foreign terrorists, including their Chechen ‘commander’, in a raid carried out by gunship helicopters on their hideout on March 1 at Danday Saidgai village in North Waziristan bordering Afghanistan. Four Pakistani tribesmen and a soldier were also killed and an unspecified number of them were injured in the raid and subsequent exchange of fire between the two sides, according to The News. An unnamed senior military officer said the slain Chechen ‘commander’ was named Asad. The officer denied reports that Tahir Yuldashev, chief of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, was the prime target in the raid. He added the Uzbekistani terrorists normally hide and operate in South Waziristan, while the Chechens had sought refuge in North Waziristan. Military sources said the Chechens were using the residence of a cleric, Maulana Noor Piao Khan, in Danday Saidgai close to the Afghan border as a hideout and training camp. The raid on Danday Saidgai reportedly led to protests in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, and triggered violence. Eyewitnesses said pro-Taliban tribesmen responded to a call for Jihad by Maulana Abdul Khaliq, head of the Gulshan-i-Ilm Madrassa (seminary) in Miranshah, and began firing rockets and R/R guns at the Frontier Corps Fort and other military installations. Military sources said the troops returned fire and used artillery guns and other heavy weapons to fire in the direction from where they were attacked. Homes in Hamzoni, Palangzai, Darpakhel, Saidgai and Miranshah were consequently damaged. The cross-firing also caused injuries to a number of civilians, including at least four women. One woman was reported killed in Palangzai village.

According to The News, Pakistan Army artillery shelled Khattay Killay village, 10 kilometers from Miranshah in North Waziristan, on March 10-night and gunship helicopters targeted terrorists’ positions following reports that two of the most wanted clerics, Maulvi Sadiq Noor and Maulvi Abdul Khaliq, and their supporters were hiding there.

According to Dawn, at least 25 persons were killed and as many injured in gun-battles between followers of two religious groups at Bara in the North West Frontier Province. The clashes at Sur Dand area in Khyber Agency commenced on March 27 when supporters of cleric Mufti Munir Shakir laid siege to the house of a staunch follower of rival cleric Pir Saifur Rehman. Mufti Shakir and Pir Rehman reportedly ran illegal FM radio channels and the clerics, who used abusive language against each other in sermons on their channels, had left the tribal region some time ago under Government pressure. Officials claimed the two were orchestrating violence to force the administration into allowing their return to the region. BBC reported that the clash was about territorial control and enforcing the conflicting Muslim beliefs of the two rival clerics. Unnamed officials said the clash started when workers of Lashkar-i-Islam, formed by Shakir’s supporters, asked inmates of the house of Bacha Jee, follower of Rehman, to surrender, which they refused. In the ensuing gun-battle, which lasted eight hours, seven Lashkar men were killed and 25 others injured. The administration with the help of a Jirga (tribal council) was able to enforce a truce. However, officials said, the Lashkar activists violated the agreement on March 28 and made a pre-dawn attack on the house. Sources added that Lashkar activists captured and killed 18 men and also took an unspecified number of women and children hostage. The house was set ablaze and subsequently demolished.

More than 100 terrorists were reportedly killed in two separate operations by security forces (SFs) at Miranshah and Mir Ali in North Waziristan on March 4. Three SF personnel died while nine others were wounded in the operation. According to Daily Times, the main army base at Miranshah came under heavy rocket fire from terrorists, who also occupied the main Miranshah Bazaar, various Government offices and the telephone exchange. SFs retaliated with helicopter gun ships and heavy artillery fire, Geo Television reported. It confirmed that at least 85 terrorists had died in the operation. Meanwhile, unidentified men ambushed a SF convoy in Mir Ali, killing two soldiers and injuring seven others. The troops killed 25 terrorists in retaliation, Geo said. There were also unconfirmed reports of deaths of civilians caught in the cross firing. Inter Services Public Relations Director General, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, put the number of casualties in the two operations at 46, but could not confirm the death toll. The encounter reportedly commenced on March 4-afternoon after the main army base was attacked “from all sides”, eyewitnesses and a military official said. “Security forces are retaliating after coming under the miscreants’ fire at the main base in Miranshah from all sides,” the military official said. It was not possible to independently verify the number of deaths due to the disruption of lines of communication in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, according to The News.

Pakistani troops backed by helicopters firing missiles neutralized an al Qaeda-linked training facility in the Bajaur Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas near the Afghan border during the early hours of October 30 (today), killing "many" militants, The Associated Press reported. The operation targeted a Madrassa (seminary) holding 70-80 militants in a village near the town of Khar, the main town in Bajaur, said military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan. He said the facility was destroyed but it was not immediately clear how many people had been killed. "We received confirmed intelligence reports that 70-80 militants were hiding in a Madrassa used as a terrorist-training facility, which was destroyed by an army strike, led by helicopters," Sultan said. Soldiers on the ground were tallying the number of dead, he informed. Helicopters fired four to five rockets into the seminary, which was run by Liaquat Hussain, a local cleric who is believed to have been sheltering al Qaeda militants, Sultan said.

According to Daily Times, at least 19 more people were killed in an exchange of mortar fire between Shias and Sunnis fighting over control of the Mian Anwar shrine in the Kalay area of Lower Orakzai Agency in North West Frontier Province. 14 Shias were killed and five others wounded when mortars were fired on a Shia gathering at the shrine late on October 5-night, said Orakzai Agency Political Agent Sher Alam Mehsud. He informed that Shias retaliated by firing mortars on a Sunni-populated Sangra village, killing five people of a family.
