One soldier was killed and two others sustained injuries as clashes between the Security Forces (SFs) and militants continued in the Safi tehsil (revenue division) and adjoining areas of the Mohmand Agency for the second consecutive day on January 1. The SFs also claimed to have killed several militants when their hideouts were dynamited besides arresting 10 suspects and recovering explosives and suicide vests from them during the operation in different areas of the agency. Sources told The News that militants attacked the SFs’ check-posts in Darwazgai-II and Lakaro with mortar guns and rocket launchers after which a fierce clash started. Sources added that a mortar shell fired by the militants hit the Darwazgai-II checkpoint in which a soldier, Niaz Muhammad Jan, was killed and two others wounded. A spokesman for the Mohmand Rifles, a wing of the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) in Ghallanai, told the media that they targeted different areas of Safi, Lakaro and Utmanzai with artillery and mortar guns, killing several militants. “We have also arrested 10 suspects in Qandaro area who were transporting arms and ammunition to their associates engaged in clashes with the security forces in Darwazgai-II and Lakaro checkpoints. A vehicle laden with explosive devices, Kalashnikovs, bombs, suicide jackets and masks was captured,” the spokesman claimed while showing the seized items to journalists. He said SFs targeted several suspected hideouts with artillery and dynamited 25 houses of those helping the militants in the Qandaro, Habibzai, Haider Koroona, Malakana and Sandokhel areas.

Claiming a major breakthrough on the third day of the ongoing operation against the militants and outlaws in Khyber Agency, the political authorities on January 1 indicated at reopening the Pakistan-Afghan Highway by January 3, The News reported. Authorities said 80 per cent of the targets were achieved as several notorious criminals were either arrested or surrendered to the administration. Some 13 houses, used for anti-social activities, were also demolished. The encroachments along the Jamrud Bazaar and the adjoining areas were removed. Sources said 15 more wanted criminals were arrested on January 1, bringing the tally of those arrested during the last three days of the operation to 43. A total of 33 structures, including houses and guest houses, were demolished in the operation. The NATO supplies snatched earlier were also recovered during the operation. The looted items were recovered from the house of Adam Jee in Wazir Dhand area, prompting the troops to demolish the house after retrieving the snatched goods. Briefing the media, Political Agent of the Khyber Agency Tariq Hayat said that on the third day of the operation, militants’ hideouts and criminal dens in Ghundi, Shahkas and Wazir Dhand area were targeted with artillery shells before the troops moved in. He also said that known kidnappers and looters were arrested during the operation and a large quantity of arms and ammunition and looted goods recovered from different places. Tariq reiterated that the operation named ‘Daraghlum’ (Here I come) was not aimed at any single entity or group but against a host of groups that had made the entire region insecure. “Lawlessness in Jamrud Tehsil [revenue division] has direct implication on the law and order situation in Peshawar, which experienced one of its worst periods during the last quarter of the year 2008,” the administrative head of the agency said and added 37 people were kidnapped and 16 vehicles lifted from Jamrud during the last three months. He also informed that during the same period, a total of 100 people were abducted from Peshawar and all the kidnappings had direct links to the tribal territory, where the operation was in progress now. Besides, the area was also used to launch rocket attacks on Peshawar and hundreds of vehicles, including that of the NATO, were targeted.
