At least 27 militants were killed in two days of clashes in South Waziristan, a military official told AFP on January 2, The Post reported. The clashes broke out after pro-Taliban militants abducted four Pakistan soldiers in South Waziristan on January 1, the official said. "Five militants were killed yesterday and 22 overnight," he stated. The official disclosed that the abducted soldiers were delivering food rations from one post to another when militants seized them. Their fate was not immediately known. Both sides used heavy weaponry in the clashes that went on through the night, resulting in the death of 22 militants with no loss of life on the army side, he claimed.

Rival militants attacked offices of a pro-government militant, killing nine and wounding eight of his men on January 6- night, according to Dawn. The attackers first stormed the office of Maulana Nazir in Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan, and killed three of his supporters and injured four others, sources said. The militants, reportedly equipped with rockets and heavy weapons, launched another attack on the office of Nazir’s close associate, Maulana Khanan, in Shakai town, killing six people and injuring five others. A spokesman for Maulana Nazir blamed Baitullah Mehsud’s supporters for the attack and asked all Mehsud tribesmen to leave the Wazir tribe-dominated areas to avoid bloodshed. "We suspect Baitullah and his Uzbek supporters for this gruesome attack which left nine Mujahideen dead," Lala Wazir said. A large number of attackers, he said, came from the Mehsud area at night and attacked the local peace committee offices in Wana and Shakai. Local people said that Nazir’s supporters later shot dead an associate of Baitullah Mehsud and captured four others in Wana. Maulana Nazir belongs to the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe and has great influence in the region and virtually controls Wana. His supporters, backed by security forces, had launched a drive against Uzbek militants in the area in April 2007. The week-long armed clashes between Nazir’s supporters and Uzbeks had left over 160 people dead. Sources said that the latest incident could trigger a tribal feud after Nazir asked tribesmen hailing from the Mehsud tribe to leave the Ahmadzai Wazir dominated areas by 8am on January 8.

A soldier was killed and three others sustained injuries in clashes with militants in South Waziristan on January 8, according to Dawn. Officials said three militants and a non-combatant were also wounded in the shelling on suspected hideouts of militants in the Spinkai Raghzai and Chugmalai areas, where tensions rose after the killing of nine supporters of a pro-government militant commander on January 6-night. Supporters of Baitullah Mehsud attacked a security picket in the Chugmalai area on Jandola-Wana road on January 7, killing a soldier of the Frontier Corps, identified as Ayaz, and injuring three others. The attackers took away the body and the wounded soldiers. The security forces also fired artillery and mortar shells from their bases in Tiaraza and Jandola areas. The militants later handed over the body and three wounded soldiers to elders of the Mehsud tribe.

Thousands of armed tribesmen of South Waziristan met in Wana on January 9, vowing to organise a Lashkar (army) to hunt down al Qaeda-linked militants blamed for killing nine of their kinsmen, Dawn reported. The tribal jirga (council) in Wana came three days after militants stormed two offices and killed nine tribal elders of a government-sponsored peace committee. The jirga ordered tribesmen from every household belonging to the Wazir tribe to come to Wana with arms to prepare for action, a local official said. "One man from each house should come to Wana with a gun at 10am on Thursday to plan our defence and act against those who are responsible for disorder," tribal chief Malik Ghaffar reportedly told the gathering.

Hundreds of militants captured a paramilitary fort in South Waziristan on January 15-night after killing 22 soldiers and taking several others hostage, according to Dawn. 600 to 700 militants reportedly attacked the fort in Sararogha, manned by the South Waziristan Scouts, at around 9pm on January 15, firing rockets and mortars. 38 paramilitary soldiers and six civilians were in the fort when it came under the assault. "Soldiers put up a good fight, but couldn’t hold out for long in the face of an overwhelming militant force," a source said. The last distress radio message, according to him, was made at around 3am to the Ludda Fort, asking for artillery fire at the militants who had broken through the defences and begun pouring into the base. The military said on January 16 that 40 militants were killed in the gun battle. While 15 soldiers escaped and reached the Jandola Fort, the fate of the rest was not known, it stated.

Over three dozen paramilitary soldiers are reported to have abandoned a fort in South Waziristan on January 17 before it was attacked by militants, according to Dawn. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Maulana Umar claimed that about 60 paramilitary soldiers had surrendered without putting up resistance. He said the militants had taken away weapons and hoisted a white flag at the compound. "The soldiers surrendered without firing a shot and, therefore, the Taliban Shoora decided to set them free," Umar told Dawn. On January 15-night, the militants had captured a fort in Sararogha.

Security forces claimed to have killed about 90 militants in two different encounters in the Ladha area of South Waziristan on January 18, according to The Post. According to Dawn, in the first incident, militants attacked a convoy on the Jandola-Wana road in Chagmalai at 12.30pm. Troops returned fire and between 20 and 30 assailants were killed.

Further, security forces attacked a large number of militants who had gathered to attack the Laddah fort and killed up to 60 of them, the military said.

They were attacked from mountain tops but they retaliated with heavy weaponry including artillery, killing about 90 insurgents," he stated. He added that the SFs suffered no casualties. However, Taliban sources have dismissed the government claim and described the reports about the casualties on the part of Taliban as part of the propaganda to boost-up what they called as the shattered morale of the security forces.
