Police neutralised one of the biggest training camps of the Maoists in the Saranda forest area after a major operation, which lasted for 72 hours, according to Statesman. A joint team of the Central Reserve Police Force, Jharkhand Armed Police and officers from eight police stations and special force personnel from Ranchi and neighbouring Chaibasa had raided a remote corner of the forest area late on December 31, 2005 close to the Kayangdera village of Sonuwa police station area of West Singhbhum district and the Rania police station borders of Ranchi district. However, during a brief exchange of gunfire, the Maoists managed to escape. Documents seized from the training camp suggested that Maoists were planning a major attack either on the Khunti sub-jail or on the Simdega jail on the lines of Jehanabad attack. Huge quantities of food, blankets, folding chairs, tables, tents, generator sets and other articles of daily use were seized from the camp. Superintendent of Police, Navin Kumar Singh, added that Maoists had erected watch towers on tree tops at regular intervals to keep a close watch on any movement close to the training camp, while at the same time had planned an attack on seven neighbouring police stations to loot arms and ammunition.

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.

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.
