An army official was injured when the Baitullah Mehsud-led Taliban militants launched their first attack on the army after peace talks in South Waziristan failed, BBC Urdu reported on May 5. Security forces shelled various suspected positions in the Jandola and Manzai areas after the attack, according to Daily Times. However, no causalities were reported. According to the local administration, the Taliban attacked a Baloch Regiment patrolling team in the Sankai Raghzai area at about 12pm, wounding an army official. According to the BBC, there were also reports of people fleeing certain parts of South Waziristan after the attack. However, a spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) alleged that the first shot had been fired by the troops. "The army attacked the Taliban first and they (militants) returned fire in self-defence," Maulana Umar told Dawn. Peace talks between the Government and the militants ended last week after the former reportedly refused to withdraw troops from South Waziristan, Swat and Darra Adamkhel.

Troops blocked the main road leading to the South Waziristan on May 8 in a confrontation with al Qaeda-linked militants who operate in the region, Reuters quoted a security official as saying. The blockade of the road leading to South Waziristan on the Afghan border came after militants loyal to Baitullah Mehsud, chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, set up check-posts on the road to exert control over the region, Daily Times reported. "The road is blocked to put pressure on the militants to remove the check-posts," said an intelligence official based in the area. Hundreds of trucks and cars were backed up along the road from the town of Tank in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), residents said.

The Pakistan Army exchanged prisoners with the local Taliban in South and North Waziristan on May 14, as the military began to readjust its positions in the Mehsud areas to facilitate the return of displaced families. "Twelve security personnel — five army jawans and seven Frontier Corps personnel — were swapped for over 30 Taliban prisoners," military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told Daily Times. He also said the army had started readjusting troop positions close to the populated areas to facilitate the return of displaced families. He stated that the troop readjustment was in no way a withdrawal from the area. Sources in the South Waziristan political administration said that the Taliban had freed the security force personnel at Kotkai, while the military released militants at the Razmak military camp in North Waziristan. A senior political administration official said the prisoner swap occurred due to the successful Government-Taliban negotiations. "The military itself negotiated with the Baitullah Mehsud-led Taliban," the unnamed official said. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claims that there are 80 to 90 security force personnel and Government officials in its custody, according to Dawn. However, an official said the militants had given the Government a list of 55 hostages, including low-ranking employees of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission. There was no indication on Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan Tariq Azizuddin, who had been abducted from Khyber Agency in FATA while going to Kabul on February 11. The TTP has denied capturing Azizuddin but officials stated that he has been taken to the Mehsud area in South Waziristan. An unnamed official said Azizuddin’s name was on the list of people whose release had been sought by the Government but the militants were probably holding on to him till all the commitments made with them were fulfilled.

The withdrawal of the security forces (SFs) has started from areas of Spain Kai, Ghazai and Kot Kai in South Waziristan, The News reported. Confirming the reports of the pullout of the SFs on May 16, the political administration of South Waziristan said the troops were being deployed in areas of Jandola Qilla and other locations. The pullout would be completed within a day or two. But a Government official said the military was being relocated to positions from where it would be easy for them to re-occupy the vacated positions within four hours of any incident, according to Dawn. The troop withdrawal was a key commitment made by the Government for reaching peace agreement with militants and came after the two sides had exchanged prisoners over the past three days. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas, however, said that the troops were not being withdrawn but being relocated and readjusted to allow displaced people to return to their homes.

The Taliban will not accept any Government condition to stop cross-border movement to finalise a peace deal, a militant commander declared last week. "First, we will not accept such a ban. But we hope the peace deal will be inked without a clause that puts restrictions on Mujahideen to cross the border (into Afghanistan)," Abu Zakwan, Taliban commander in the Kotkai area of South Waziristan, told Daily Times on May 24. Using the alias of Abu Zakwan, the commander said that Government negotiators are asking for a pledge to stop cross-border attacks, but the Taliban were not committing to such an agreement. He said Waziristan was serving the region as "centre for jihad" and people from across the country were being trained for holy war "against the United States".
