Daily Times reports that authorities have told a Urdu-language daily Ummat to stop publishing photos and sermons of Al Qaeda ‘chief’ Osama Bin Laden and Taliban ‘chief’ Mulla Omar. Ummat had been printing the wanted pair’s images and speeches since late 2001, when a US-led military campaign ousted Afghanistan’s hardline Islamic Taliban militia from power. "We have issued a notice, asking them to explain from where they were getting these statements by Osama Bin Laden and Mulla Omar every day," Sindh government spokesman Salahuddin Haider said.

In an interview to the Washington Post, President Pervez Musharraf stated that Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts are not known. Asked whether the trail had gone cold, he said "Yes, if you mean we don’t know, from that point of view, we don’t know where he is." He however added Pakistani forces are still aggressively pursuing search for Osama. President Musharraf also denied news reports that his troops were withdrawing from South Waziristan. Pakistan instead has ordered a "relocation" and tactical shift of its forces now that extremists have been flushed out of five valleys in South Waziristan and forced into remote mountains, where they will be pursued by Pakistan’s helicopter-borne Special Operations Task Force, Musharraf said.

On December 6, at a breakfast meeting with editors of leading British dailies in London, President General Pervez Musharraf stated that bilateralism had a last chance for finding a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue. "I am giving bilateralism a final chance. Let it not fail," the President said. General Musharraf added that when he talked of bilateralism to address this issue he, in fact, was showing flexibility. He, however, made it clear that Pakistan had not changed its stance on Kashmir and was ready to move forward only if India was ready to do so. "I have not moved an inch. We are prepared to move if they move. We are not appeasing them, we are not on an appeasement course at all," he said in reply to a question. The president said he thought "India has moved back" and he was appreciative of it. Answering a question about his uniform, the president said he still had one-and-a-half month to go. However, he pointed out, under the constitution he could retain the two offices till 2007.

But the intercepts are getting fewer and fewer. This is an indication they are on the move and relocating," a senior military officer said at a briefing.

Briefing the Peshawar-based media at the historic Durrani Fort on December 9 about the Army's achievements, Maj-Gen Niaz Khattak, General Officer Commanding, Kohat stated that the persistent military operations against foreign militants and their local harbourers have reduced the strength of these elements to 100 in South Waziristan tribal agency. He, however, said the forces have not been able to get any clue to the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden. "I never heard that Osama or second class leadership of his Al Qaeda network have ever stayed in South Waziristan. All those who were here were mostly the least important figures of the network". He added there were round about 600 foreign militants at the time the Army launched operation against the Al Qaeda linked militants and their local tribal sympathisers. "Their strength has reduced to 100 plus now, who too lost support of the local population," he told newsmen. Regarding Army's losses, Khattak said the Pakistan Army and the paramilitary Frontier Corps had so far lost 200 men in the Waziristan operation. More than 246 militants, including some over 100 foreign terrorists, were also killed, while 579 militants were arrested in 35 military exercises.

President Pervez Musharraf said on December 21 that the Government had successfully handled the issue of foreign terrorists in South Waziristan. "The foreign terrorists had threatened the national integrity and if we had not taken strong action, they would have created problems for us," he said during a speech at the golden jubilee function of Khyber Medical College in Peshawar. Gen. Musharraf noted that Pakistan was not a 'soft' country which would allow anyone to do anything he liked. The military operation in Wana, he claimed, was not against local tribesmen rather it targeted foreign terrorists and their collaborators. He also described as ridiculous an allegation that the military action had been launched at the behest of the US and said that the masterminds of terrorist acts committed in the country had roots in South Waziristan.
