Al Qaeda confirmed in a web statement on August 3 the death of a senior commander known as an explosives expert, who is believed to have been killed in a US air strike in Pakistan last week, Dawn reported. The statement said Abu Khabab Al-Masri and three other commanders were killed. It did not give details on when or how they were killed, but Pakistani authorities have said they believe Al-Masri died in an American air strike on July 28 on a compound near the Afghan border. Al-Masri, an Egyptian militant whose real name is Midhat Mursi, had a $5 million bounty on his head from the United States. He is accused of training militants to use poisons and explosives, and is believed to have trained suicide bombers who killed 17 American sailors on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. He is also believed to have helped run al Qaeda’s Darunta training camp in eastern Afghanistan, until the camp was abandoned amid the 2001 US invasion of the country.

Hundreds of Taliban militants attacked a security check-post near the Afghan border late on August 6, sparking fierce clashes in which up to 10 soldiers and 25 militants were killed, officials said on August 7, Daily Times reported. The security forces (SFs) had deployed a large force at Loyesam, 12 kilometers from Khar, headquarters of the Bajaur Agency in FATA, in a bid to reclaim important nearby Taliban strongholds. A Frontier Corps officer told AFP that 300-400 militants armed with AK-47 assault rifles, rocket launchers and grenades, participated in the attack. "The firing continued the whole night. This morning reinforcements were sent. One vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device on its way to the post and the convoy was then attacked by Taliban militants," the official said. "Up to 25 militants were killed and at least 10 Frontier Corps soldiers have also been martyred," an unidentified security official told AFP. However, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Maulvi Umar said 18 SF personnel were killed, a claim that is yet to be ascertained independently. Umar said the Taliban would use all resources to regain control of Loyesam area. He also claimed that 17 SF personnel had been held hostage, five of them with severe injuries, Dawn reported.

Paramilitary troops retreated from the Loyesam area of Bajaur Agency in the FATA on August 9, three days after an attempt to recapture the Taliban stronghold near the Afghan border, officials told Daily Times. Loyesam lies on the strategically important road leading towards Peshawar, capital of the NWFP. About 200 Frontier Corps (FC) troops were deployed on August 6 to set up check-posts near the Afghan border, prompting "tough resistance" from the militants. A press statement from the FC headquarters in Peshawar said six soldiers were killed and 15 injured after the paramilitary troops broke a Taliban siege and reached Khar, the agency headquarters. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the retreat from Loyesam. The Taliban reportedly made a claim to victory, but a senior Government official said the troops had returned to Khar "under a strategy". Meanwhile, sources close to the Taliban said the militants "drove out" the security forces. Maulvi Umar, the Taliban spokesman, claimed they lost around 10 militants but captured seven paramilitary soldiers and seized ten vehicles and a tank.

According to Dawn, militants have warned petrol pump-owners in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to desist from transportation of fuel to Afghanistan and sell only the oil supplied by the Government-owned Pakistan State Oil. After threats, several outlets have reportedly stopped sale of oil supplied by multinational oil companies, while the rest were weighing options either to close their pumps or to contact the PSO for further supply, or to switch over to other businesses, sources said. "We have been receiving threats from the Taliban to stop selling oil supplied by the multinational oil companies and sell only the supplies of the Pakistan State Oil," said the manager of a petrol pump, selling oil of a multinational oil firm in the Khyber Agency. A letter received by several petrol stations in various agencies of the FATA had warned them to close these establishments owned by multinational companies. The letter said that in case of failure on the part of the pump-owners to comply with the warning, their pumps would be set ablaze and they would be penalised.

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.

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.

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.

Pakistan Air Force fighter aircraft and Army gunship helicopters on August 20 continued bombing suspected militant hideouts in the Bajaur Agency, killing three more persons and destroying a number of houses, The News reported. In addition, 14 militants were killed when the security forces repulsed a Taliban attack. Military sources said 14 militants were killed during a gun-battle with the paramilitary Bajaur Scouts on the Mataka post along the border with Afghanistan. Sources said the soldiers had vacated the post and were sitting around it, as they knew about the militants’ plan to capture it. "The soldiers wanted to trap the militants and they did so when dozens of armed Taliban fighters came there at night and attempted to capture the post. The FC [Frontier Corps] personnel opened fire on them and killed 14 of them on the spot."

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.

Elsewhere in the FATA, official sources in Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan, said militants loyal to Maulvi Nazir fired rockets at the Tiarzah Fort late on August 21-night injuring a paramilitary soldier, according to Daily Times. Seven militants were reportedly wounded when security forces retaliated, local administration officials said. The attack on the fort came hours after NATO forces – in an operation co-ordinated with Pakistani forces – "fired multiple artillery rounds into Pakistan," the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) statement said. "The Pakistan military confirmed insurgents were preparing to fire rockets at an ISAF base in Paktika province… Pakistan (military) officers relayed that all rounds were on target, with no civilian casualties," the ISAF statement received in Peshawar via email said.

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. He said that they would not violate the truce without provocation.
