At least 20 people, most of them women and children, were killed in an assault by US-led coalition forces on a village near the Afghan border on September 3, Dawn reported. The attack comes amid an increase in the number of missile and predator attacks on suspected al Qaeda hideouts in Waziristan in recent days. It was, however, the first known ground assault of its kind. According to people in Musa Neka Ziarat in South Waziristan, three US helicopters landed in the plains at around 4am, troops disembarked from them and attacked a house, killing 10 people. They said that two children, three women and five men were killed in the attack on the house of one Payo Jan Torjikhel. A woman survived the indiscriminate shooting, they said. The troops then opened fire on villagers who had come out of their homes, killing another 10 people. The victims, including three children and two women, belonged to the families of Faiz Mohammad and Nazar Jan. Payo Jan and Nazar Jan were also killed. Local people said Payo Jan and the two other families had no association with militants. There were unconfirmed reports that the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops had also captured some people and taken them to Afghanistan.

The military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said in Islamabad, "In the wee hours of the morning on Sept 3, ISAF troops in two helicopters landed at a village near Angoor Adda, South Waziristan Agency, and as per reports received so far, killed seven innocent civilians." He condemned the "completely unprovoked act of killing" and regretted the loss of precious lives. He said the Pakistan Army had lodged a strong protest with the Office of the Defence Representative in Pakistan and said that "we reserve the right of self-defence and retaliation to protect our citizens and soldiers against aggression". "It is an outrage," NWFP Governor Owais Ahmad Ghani said in a statement. He said: "This is a direct assault on the sovereignty of Pakistan and the people expect that the armed forces of Pakistan will rise to defend the sovereignty of the country and give a befitting reply."

Six people, including two suspected Arab nationals and four Dawar tribal militants, were killed and four others injured in yet another missile strike by a US Predator on Achar Khel village near Miranshah in North Waziristan on September 4. Official and tribal sources told The News that a US spy plane was seen flying over the area during the aerial attack on the village. The plane, which had been hovering over the border tribal villages for the past several days, fired a Hellfire missile that razed to the ground the house of local tribesman Farman Dawar at Achar Khel. Sources close to tribal militants, led by Maulana Hafiz Gul Bahadur, said that two among the dead were identified as Arab guests who had come to Farman’s house, while the remaining four persons killed in the air strike were local Dawar tribesmen. They said four people injured in the missile attack were also Dawar tribesmen.

The pro-government militant commander Maulana Hafiz Gul Bahadur on September 4 condemned the air strikes in his native North Waziristan and vowed to avenge the killing of his people. Ahmadullah Ahmadi, a spokesman for Hafiz Gul Bahadur, said they considered Pakistani security forces equally responsible for the killing of innocent tribesmen in the US air strikes. “We consider it an attack from Pakistan rather than from the Unites States,” Ahmadi said, adding that a meeting of Taliban Shura (executive council) had been convened to decide the further course of action.

The US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said the Pakistan military and government are focused on the instability in the border region and it is critical to continue to work with the new Pakistan government, Daily Times reported. "During this time of political turmoil in Pakistan, it is especially critical that we maintain a strong and positive relationship with the government, since any deterioration would be a setback for both Pakistan and Afghanistan," Gates told the House Armed Services Committee. Gates said that the insecurity and violence would persist in Afghanistan until the insurgency was deprived of havens in Pakistan, but suggested that the US wanted to avoid confrontation with Islamabad. Citing Washington’s plans for massive economic assistance to Pakistan he said that it would bolster the confidence of the new government in the US having a long-term commitment to the South Asian country. He also said that the US had a multi-year package for economic development in Pakistan.

Two United States (US) military helicopters turned back to Afghanistan from the border early on September 15 after shots were fired from the ground, but there were conflicting accounts of the incident, according to Daily Times. Security officials and tribal elders said the threat of an incursion led Pakistani troops and tribesmen to fire. An unnamed senior administration official in Wana told Daily Times the US forces took off from the Macha Dad Kot base in Afghanistan’s Paktika province. "The US choppers came into Pakistan by just 100 to 150 meters at Angoor Adda. Even then our troops did not spare them, opened fire on them and they turned away," an unnamed security official told Reuters. Another security official told AFP that tribesmen joined in the firing after Pakistani soldiers played bugles to alert them. But Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman, Major General Athar Abbas, denying there had been any such incident, said, "These reports are not correct. We have checked, there is an FC (Frontier Corps) post in the area. No helicopter came inside our side of the border, nor did our troops fire at any." Also, the US-led coalition, based in Bagram, said they were not aware of the incident, and added, "Our helicopters do fly close to the border conducting routine missions, but none have attempted to cross into Pakistan. We have no reports of such events." Further, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters, "I’ve checked into that and find it to be a spurious report. I’ve checked all the places that would know about something like that and it doesn’t appear to be accurate." Meanwhile, the Ahmedzai Wazir tribes have summoned a grand Jirga (council) to devise a strategy against possible US incursions, a tribal elder told Daily Times. Foreign attacks on Pakistan’s Tribal Areas are an incursion and all-out efforts would be made to stop such invasions, said Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar. The minister said that Pakistan would take every possible measure to defend its territory. Also, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said that Pakistan is trying to solve the issue of American attacks inside its Tribal Areas diplomatically

Ten Taliban militants were killed and several others injured on September 16 when Pakistan Army helicopter gunship and fighter jets fired shells at militant hideouts in Bajaur Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Daily Times. The media cell of the Frontier Corps (FC), NWFP headquarters, in a statement said the security forces had attacked Taliban positions in the Loyesam, Tang Khata and Shakai areas of Bajaur Agency.

Military spokesman Major Murad Khan said ground troops were searching house-to-house for Taliban. "They have constructed underground bunkers and are putting up stiff resistance. Troops are clearing each and every house in the area," adding, he had no information about casualties in the current fighting, but the military has said that 117 people have been killed in Bajaur over the past week. Meanwhile, residents said US drones had flown over the Taliban sanctuary on the Afghan border region, but had not fired any missiles.

A United States missile strike on a compound used by militants in South Waziristan in FATA killed at least six people and wounded three others on September 17-evening, officials said, according to Daily Times. Two intelligence officials told Associated Press that missiles hit the compound used by Taliban and militant organisation Hizb-e-Islami. Also, a security official told AFP that dead included some foreigners whose nationalities were not immediately known. Another senior official told Reuters that the strike was the result of US and Pakistani intelligence sharing, adding a container of arms and ammunition was also destroyed. "It shows improving intelligence co-ordination on the ground," said the official. "Two missiles directly hit the compound while the other two fell in the surrounding area. There are a few militant training camps in the area and no civilian population around the site of the strike," AFP quoted another official as saying. He said the Baghar Cheena area, where the strike took place, was the stronghold of local Taliban commander Maulvi Nazeer. But it was not immediately clear whether he was in the area at the time of the strike. The attack came hours after US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen told Pakistani leaders that America respects Pakistan’s sovereignty, amid a mounting tension over cross-border strikes by the US.

Three out of seven people killed in September 17 US drone attack on the Baghar village of South Waziristan Agency included two Arabs, one of them a senior al-Qaeda commander, and one hailing from the Punjab Province. Sources close to the tribal militants told The News that the two Arabs were identified as Jiran, the al-Qaeda commander, and Sabri while the name of the militant commander from the Punjab could not be ascertained. An unnamed senior militant commander, said all the three men were sitting in a vehicle parked in front of a mud-built house in Baghar village near Angoor Adda when two US drones fired four Hellfire missiles, killing them and four others staying in the house. He said Jiran was appointed as al-Qaeda’s operational commander for a particular region in Afghanistan following the death of senior al-Qaeda commander Abu Imam while fighting the US forces near Bagram in Afghanistan three months ago. "Jiran was a senior operational commander and was mostly living in the border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He used to change his locations due to continuous surveillance by the US spy planes on the border villages," said the tribal militant commander.

The foreign Taliban and al Qaeda – Arabs, Chechens, Uzbeks and Afghans – are being led by an Afghan commander, Qari Ziaur Rehman. "He (Rehman) is leading the fight and he is calling for reinforcement from across the Afghan border," said the sources, adding, "He is leading the whole show. He carries a lot of clout among foreign militants who mostly engage the Americans inside Afghanistan."

Pakistani troops fired on United States helicopters which had crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan on September 25. "Today (Thursday) at 3:30pm, two helicopters from Afghanistan side crossed into Pakistan territory in the area of Saidgai in the Ghulam Khan sector of North Waziristan Agency," a spokesman of the ISPR told Daily Times. He said when the helicopters passed over Pakistani border post and were well within Pakistani territory the troops fired warning shots, adding, "On this, the helicopters returned fire and flew back." There were no casualties nor were the helicopters damaged, the NATO said. The Pentagon, however, denied the helicopters had crossed the border. A US military spokeswoman said two OH-58 helicopters had been flying a routine operation and were about 11.5 km on the Afghan side of the border in Khost province when they were fired upon, adding, "They received small arms fire from a Pakistani military checkpoint. The helicopters didn’t cross into Pakistani airspace." Neither the helicopters nor ground forces returned fire, she said. But an unnamed American official told AP that US and Pakistani troops traded gunfire during a five-minute skirmish after the incident. The official says American forces "responded with small-arms fire directed at the outpost, and that the Pakistani forces returned fire against the ground units".

The situation in Bajaur Agency will be stabilised within two months, the Frontier Corps (FC) chief in the region said on September 26, according to Daily Times. "My timeframe for Bajaur is anything from between one-and-a-half to two months to bring about stability," FC Inspector General Maj Gen Tariq Khan told reporters. He informed that the troops had killed more than 1,000 Taliban and injured 2,000 others since the offensive began in early August and that five top al Qaeda and Taliban commanders were among those killed in the month-long operation. He said they included four foreigners. They were Egyptian Abu Saeed Al-Masri, Arab Abu Suleiman, Uzbek Mullah Mansoor, and an Afghan commander called Manaras. The fifth was a son of Faqir Mohammad, the top Taliban commander in the region. Faqir himself was believed to be injured. Some 63 troops had died and 212 were injured in the operation so far, Khan further said. Khan estimated 65 percent of the Taliban problem would be eliminated if they were defeated in Bajaur, describing the region as a ‘centre of gravity’ for the Taliban. "If they lose here, they’ve lost almost everything," he said. Khan also showed reporters photos of tunnel systems and trenches, suggesting the Taliban were well established in the region that is considered a likely hiding place for top al Qaeda leaders including Osama Bin Laden. He put the Taliban’s strength at around 2,000, including Afghans, Uzbeks and Arabs as well as Pakistani Taliban. He said the Taliban’s fighting strength had not gone down appreciably despite heavy casualties due to reinforcements coming in from the northwest as well as Afghanistan. "I personally feel that trained squads have been moved in," Khan said.

The helicopter gunships destroyed explosive-laden vehicles of Taliban militants at a basic health unit. The local administration said the Taliban subsequently blew up two security checkposts and a bride in retaliation to the vehicle attack on September 29. The report added that the latest clash broke out in Mulla Saib Dara village, when a 6,000-strong tribal lashkar tried to set ablaze houses and hideouts of Taliban militants. "Fighting is going on and to help us, the army sent some gunships which fired at the Taliban, killing several of them," tribal elder Malik Younus told Reuters. He said his men would battle the Taliban until they were cleared from the region. "It’s now clear to everybody that we can’t tolerate lawlessness in our land. Everyone has to obey our tribal rules and they can’t make our land a hub of terrorism," Younus added.

"Any person found guilty of giving shelter to Taliban fighters in their areas or homes would be severely punished and their houses would be burnt down," the jirga said. The Charmang tribes have announced to launch the campaign from the Fourth Day of Eidul Fitr.
