The Pakistan Army dropped helicopter-borne troops, including commandos, in the stronghold of militants’ chief Maulana Fazlullah to conduct a search operation, while SFs made significant achievements in the operation named as Rah-e-Haq 4. “The troops have landed in the Peochar Valley in the north of Swat to accomplish the task assigned to them,” military spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas said at a press briefing in Islamabad on May 12. General Abbas said SFs in Swat, Shangla, Dir Lower and Buner Districts had achieved considerable successes and, so far, 751 militants and 29 SF personnel had been killed in the ongoing operation while 77 soldiers sustained injuries. “The operation was progressing smoothly, the militants were on the run and the criminal elements, which had earlier joined the Taliban militants in Swat, were deserting them along with new recruits,” he added. He said during the operation, measures had been taken to avoid collateral damage and only confirmed hideouts and strongholds in the valleys and on the mountains had been targeted from air. “The air strikes are conducted where definite information and intelligence is available about training camps, hideouts, munition dumps and logistics being used by the militants,” he added. The militants’ strongholds in Mingora, Peochar, Kabal, Khwazakhela and Shangla have been targeted successfully. Banni Baba Ziarat training camp of the militants has been destroyed, reportedly killing 200 militants. Since the start of the operation in Swat, 18 SF personnel were killed and 47 others injured. A cordon and search operation continues in Banni Baba Ziarat, where the militants have suffered heavily and 11 soldiers were injured in the last 24 hours. About Dir, he said the operation was still in progress in some areas and exchange of fire was continuing. In Buner, consolidation around Daggar continues and Sultanwas area has been surrounded by SFs, said Abbas. He said there were plans to kill high value targets, adding, some of the high value targets had already been killed in the operation. He said a timeframe for the completion of operation in Swat could not be given at the moment, but it was effort of the Government and the Army to bring the operation to an early end. The military spokesman also said a corps headquarters had been designated as Special Support Group for the management of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). He said Corps Commander Mangla, Lt-Gen Nadeem Ahmed, has been designated as the officer in charge of the group in view of his vast experience as the deputy chairman Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority. Special Task Group representative Brigadier Amir said the number of IDPs, including the old IDPs from Bajaur, was close to 1.3 million. He ruled out terrorists reaching camps in the garb of IDPs, saying a screening process had been put in place to avert such a possibility.

Security Forces (SFs) have completely secured the Sultanwas area of Buner District, overcoming tough resistance and killing 80 militants, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Athar Abbas said in Islamabad on May 20, The News reported. “Since Tuesday morning to the completion of operation before dawn, 80 militants have been killed,” Abbas told a press briefing. However, he said there was no independent confirmation of the casualties due to the ground situation in the area. Sultanwas was the main stronghold of the militants in Buner, where they had made concrete underground bunkers and ammunition dumps. He said six vehicles of the militants, which were under use by terrorists clad in the Elite Force uniform, were also destroyed during the operation. SFs encountered seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the area, which were defused. Abbas said locals had also formed a Lashkar (militia) to flush out the terrorists before the launch of the operation, but the militants had managed to take the control of the area after a suicide attack. The military spokesman said 1,057 militants and 58 SF personnel had been killed in the Swat, Dir and Buner Districts since April 27. He said the foreign nationals arrested so far included Afghans, Uzbeks and Arabs. “The strategy is to kill the maximum number of terrorists. The militant leaders are paying $50 to 60 per day to the fighters,” he said.

Security Forces (SFs) have gained control of half of Mingora city and killed 29 militants in various areas of Swat Valley during the last 24 hours besides arresting 14 others, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas said on May 26, The News reported. “Six soldiers also laid down their lives and 11 others sustained injuries,” he told reporters at a press briefing in Islamabad. “More than half of Mingora is under the army’s control. We have plugged all escape routes for militants,” said Abbas, adding that pockets of “hardcore militants” remained. The military spokesman said the operation was progressing well despite stiff resistance by the militants. He said street fights and house-to-house search was going on in Mingora city. Athar said 18 militants were killed in Mingora during an encounter and seven others were arrested when they were trying to escape towards Buner District. He said four improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were also defused in the area. The Malakand-Qambar-Mingora road has reportedly been opened for traffic. In Qambar, SFs defused 12 IEDs and also recovered huge cache of arms and ammunition. The Kanju-Kabal road has also been cleared and fierce fighting is reportedly underway for securing Kabal. In Peuchar, the military spokesman said SFs continued a cordon and search operation and destroyed Taliban strongholds at Mano Derai. During the exchange of fire, three militants were killed while three others were arrested. A remote controlled IED was also defused at Pir Killay by the troops. Security forces have also cleared Sakhra Valley, the main route of the militants’ movement from Peuchar towards Kalam and other areas. About Buner, he said 90 percent area of the District had been cleared although some terrorists are present at Pir Baba. During search at check-posts, four militants have been arrested, he said. He added that in the night of May 25, about 100 to 120 militants attacked the Kalpani post in Dir Lower District from three directions and the attack was repulsed and militants suffered heavy casualties. Eight bodies have been recovered in close vicinity of the check-post. Two SF personnel were also killed in the incident and three others were wounded. The military spokesman rejected reports that a fresh group of trained terrorists had entered the troubled area. To a question as to why the senior leadership of the Taliban could not be targeted, he said it was essential to keep certain things confidential to achieve success. The terrorists are being surrounded and their morale is going down, he claimed.

The UN is considering asking Pakistan to pause its offensive against the Taliban in order to provide aid to those trapped in the conflict, a top UN official has said, Daily Times reported. Thousands of civilians are trapped in areas where aid workers say aerial bombardment by the military and landmines planted by the Taliban have forced people to remain in their homes with little food and water, communications or medicines and no power. “We are ... very concerned about those still trapped inside the conflict zone,” Manuel Bessler, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Pakistan, told AlertNet. He also said, “A humanitarian pause is a subject of discussion and with the very good liaison we have with the armed forces, it is obviously something that we would not shy away from asking for.” Around 200,000 civilians are trapped in Swat and tens of thousands in Buner and Lower Dir Districts. Bessler said that while Pakistan is granting access to the conflict area, the UN’s internal security division did not have enough information to give staff the green light to work in the war zone. He said while the army had begun distributing food and providing medical assistance, “more needs to be done”.
