Lieutenant General Asif Yasin Malik on June 1 ruled out an imminent offensive in North Waziristan, contradicting a newspaper report that Pakistan had agreed to assault North Waziristan following pressure from the United States, reports Daily Times. Speaking at a news conference in Mohmand Agency, Lt Gen Asif Yasin Malik, commander of the 11th Corps based in Peshawar, said there was no change in his forces’ posture in the last weeks. “I have no such plans as far as I am concerned,” he told reporters. “We will undertake operations when we want to do it, when it is militarily and otherwise in the national interest to undertake such operations.” “I do not operate on press reports. I get orders from my high command,” he said in response to a question. When asked about the Haqqani network, Malik said, “We are misusing the word ‘network’. It does not become a network if four people sit together somewhere.” In addition, the Government has decided not to carry out an army operation in North Waziristan, the Senate’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs was told in its June 1’s meeting. “No such plan has been devised to launch an offensive in North Waziristan,” said the committee’s chairman Senator Salim Saifullah Khan quoting Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar. But, there was immense pressure on Pakistan from the United States for action against foreign elements present inside the country, said Saifullah. Talking to reporters after the meeting, he said “the committee has proposed that action should be taken against foreign elements if they are present in the Tribal Areas”.

The Government is not fond of military action and wants to have an exit strategy, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on June 1, reports The Express Tribune. The Government, he said, was not taking dictation from anybody, “but it will take action when its writ is challenged [in North Waziristan]”. “We will decide if there is any need for [an operation in North Waziristan.] We will not meddle unnecessarily,” the premier said. In addition, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said the Government was ready to hold dialogue with militants on condition that these elements surrendered themselves to the political agents of their areas, reports Daily Times. Speaking in a live programme “Prime Minister Online”, the prime minister said, “But if they (militants) will challenge writ of the Government, target innocent people and attack cities, public property, installations, Police stations and railways, the Government will take action against them.”

Pakistan Government will "think whether there is any need" for a military operation in North Waziristan and not take dictation from anyone on launching a campaign against militants in North Waziristan whenever its writ is challenged, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on June 2, reports Indian Express. Asked about reports that a military operation is imminent in North Waziristan tribal agency, he said: "We will think whether there is any need for it. We will not interfere in the matter unnecessarily." Later, responding to a question, Gilani said United States (US) drone attacks are unacceptable as they are "against Pakistan's sovereignty, public opinion and the spirit of resolutions passed by Parliament". These attacks are counter-productive as they affect Pakistan's strategy to separate tribesmen from militants.

Top al Qaeda leader and ‘head’ of Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in a US drone strike in Wana Bazaar area of South Waziristan Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) at 11:15 pm on June 3, reports Daily Times. A hand-written brief statement in Urdu-language from a ‘spokesman’ of the HuJI, Abu Hamzullah Kasher, distributed in Wana Bazaar on June 4 afternoon, confirmed that Kashmiri was killed. “Harkatul Jihad al-Islami’s 313 Brigade confirms that in Friday’s drone attack at 11:15pm our ‘commander-in-chief’, Muhammad Ilyas Kashmiri, was martyred,” the spokesman, Abu Hamzullah Kasher said in the statement. “We have received reports of his death. But we are waiting for conclusive evidence to confirm that Kashmiri has been killed with nine other terrorists,” an unnamed security official told Daily Times. “What is confirmed is that he (Kashmiri) was seen two days back at the site of the attack,” the officials said. “Testimonies of the injured will clear the situation when they speak out,” he added. Ilyas Kashmiri is believed to having planned the deadly attack on Navy’s airbase PNS Mehran in Karachi on May 22. “We will certainly give the US a revengeful reply,” added the HuJI spokesman Abu Hamzullah Kasher.

Ahmedzai Wazir tribes won local TTP ‘commanders’ support during a Jirga (tribal council) to keep the 2007 ‘peace deal’ going in South Waziristan after a US drone strike killed dreaded terrorist leader Ilyas Kashmiri on June 3, Ahmedzai Wazir tribe elders said. “The TTP ‘commanders’ understood Pakistan could do little to stop these drone attacks and assured they will not break the 2007 peace deal the TTP reached with the Ahmedzai Wazir tribes in reaction to the killing of senior militant leader Kashmiri,” a tribal elder told Daily Times by phone from Wana, after returning from the jirga. “We have been invited by the TTP ‘commanders’ to discuss the situation in the wake of Kashmiri’s killing and they (TTP ‘commanders’) admitted they have no hard feelings against Pakistan after Kashmiri’s killing,” the elder said wishing not to be named for personal security. However, TTP leader Mullah Nazir did not attend the jirga.

Eighteen militants were killed in three US drone strikes in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 6, reports Daily Times. Earlier, Dawn reported that only seven militants were killed. The first strike killed seven terrorists in the early hours in Shalam Raghzai, 10 kilometres northwest of Wana, the Agency’s main town. The second one struck a compound in Wacha Dana, 12 kilometres northwest of Wana, killing eight terrorists. The third hit eight hours later in the Dray Nishtar area, which lies on the border with North Waziristan at 10:45am local time, around 30 kilometres from the site of the other two raids. “A US drone fired two missiles on a terrorist vehicle killing three rebels,” a senior Pakistani security official said, talking about the third attack.

Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) pasted leaflets in different parts of Malakdin Khel locality in Bara subdivision of Khyber Agency, warning residents not to allow their women to travel alone or without a close male family member. “Husbands would be penalised heavily if they allow their wives to travel alone in any public transport vehicle,” the pamphlet warned. It threatened local residents, especially youth, to desist from shaving and uploading musical ring tones in their cellular phones. “The violators will be heavily fined,” it warned further. The pamphlets were appeared at a time when SFs are engaged in a full-fledged military operation against the outfit and local residents are subjected to unspecified hours of curfew in different parts of Bara. Although Government claims that military operation in Bara subdivision of Khyber Agency is successful, LI proved its presence by distributing leaflets in different areas.

Pakistan helped the United States locate Ilyas Kashmiri. Washington Post reported that Ilyas Kashmiri was on a list of terrorist leaders the United States gave to Pakistan in May. The New York Times reported that Kashmiri’s death “could go some way to alleviating the strained relations” between Pakistan and the US, particularly after the covert raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad on May 2.

Maulvi Nazir faction of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) vows to escalate anti-US fight in Afghanistan in response to intensified drone missile strikes on its territory. Maulvi Younus, one of Nazir’s senior ‘commanders’ said that “Because the United States is launching these strikes we will send more fighters to Afghanistan and step up our operations against US forces”. “We have no other option. We have no weapons which shoot them (drone aircraft) down so we will fight the United States in Afghanistan.” “We have lots of Mujahideen (holy warriors). It is not a problem. If drone strikes continue we believe many tribesmen will join us because they (drone strikes) are killing ordinary people,” said Qari Yousaf, a close aide to Nazir. “Our shura (council) will decide on the appropriate time to send more fighters (to Afghanistan) and how many will go.”

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazl) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on June 12 said that the Pakistan Army will face deadly suicide attacks if it undertakes operations in North Waziristan, reports Times of India. "If Pakistani forces enter North Waziristan, they will face deadly suicide attacks," Maulana Fazlur told reporters in an interaction. The US has been pressuring Pakistan Army to undertake operations in North Waziristan Agency where the Haqqani network carrying out attacks on coalition forces in adjacent Afghanistan is based. Pakistan has been resisting, saying it will itself decide when to carry out any operation in the area. Maulana Fazlur warned the conflict in Afghanistan is spreading into Pakistan and could soon engulf the country, unless steps are taken to halt the spread of violence through a negotiated settlement.

The military is planning to enlist pro-Government tribal elders in a fresh campaign it has devised to flush out al Qaeda militants and its affiliates from North Waziristan, unnamed army officials said. The move is aimed at deflecting growing US pressure for a full-scale offensive against the Haqqani Network. Under the plan, local tribesmen have been urged to form lashkars (tribal militia), to take out ‘hard-core al Qaeda elements and their affiliates’. The idea was not only discussed in the recently held meeting of the corps commanders but was also taken up during discussions between Army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and CIA chief Leon Panetta. “This strategy has achieved significant results in South Waziristan Agency and now it’s time to apply it in the North,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “We are encouraging pro-Pakistan tribesmen to take on al Qaeda operatives. Tajik, Uzbek and Chechen fighters have found sanctuaries in North Waziristan,” he added. “We will facilitate them (tribesmen) to form tribal lashkars to achieve that goal.”

A senior Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘commander’, Shakir, who helped train and deploy suicide bombers was shot dead by unidentified assailants at the Qutab Khel area on Bannu- Miranshah road near Miranshah, the headquarter of North Waziristan Agency, in Federally Administered Tribal Agency at around 4:00 pm on June 28, reports The Express Tribune. Sources said that Shakir, a resident of South Waziristan, was riding a motorcycle when unidentified assailants in a vehicle with tinted windows sprayed bullets on him. Shakir was a close aide of TTP’s chief trainer of suicide bombers Qari Hussain and had also served as his spokesperson for some time. Fidayeen-e-Islam, a branch within the TTP, was responsible for training of suicide bombers and was headed by Qari Hussain, famously known as 'Ustad-e-Fedayeen'. According to the Associated Press, Shakir once claimed to a local newspaper that his group had trained more than 1,000 suicide bombers at camps in North Waziristan. Shakir’s name hit headlines last month for issuing threats to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry. He had reportedly threatened the CJP with ‘dire consequences’ if he accepted the conviction of the TTP activists who were awarded death sentence by the Lahore High Court for attacking former President Pervez Musharraf.
