The Express Tribune reported that the authorities in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) have released 16 members of the TTP as a ‘goodwill gesture’. An unnamed TTP leader said that they “are frustrated at the Government’s inaction” over their two demands but the group would not carry out big attacks despite the end of ceasefire. “We will not carry out any big attacks as our intermediaries are still engaged in talks with the Government,” he said, requesting anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media on TTP’s behalf. He confirmed the Taliban were seeking a secure place in South Waziristan that was previously under their control.

At least 14 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants were killed in clashes between two factions of the militant outfit on April 8 in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Daily Times. According to Police and militant sources, a total of 34 people have been killed since fighting broke out April 6, 2014 in South Waziristan Agency between supporters of Khan Said Sajna and followers of the slain leader Hakimullah Mehsud. According to militant sources, the differences emerged after Khan Said Sajna, a senior ‘commander’, was rejected for leadership of the TTP umbrella group, after its former leader Hakimullah Mehsud was killed in a United States (US) drone strike on November 1, 2013. “At least 12 people have been killed in a firefight between militant groups in the Shaktai area of South Waziristan. The fighting still goes on,” added a security official in Miranshah town of North Waziristan Agency. Sources from both militant groups confirmed the clashes and death toll. An unnamed senior TTP ‘commander’ said that efforts were being made to resolve differences between the Sajna and Hakimullah Mehsud groups but the former refused to reach any agreement. “There are always differences among the people. There are fights also, some people fight for money, some for other interests", he added.

A meeting of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s (TPP) Shura (council) was held at an undisclosed place in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 11 to decide about extending or ending the ceasefire as United States (US) drones conducted low altitude flights in parts of the tribal region, reported Dawn. At the beginning of peace talks with the Government, the TPP had announced a month-long ceasefire on March 1, 2014. Later, it extended it for 10 days until April 10, 2014, to give peace talks a chance. But no important development has taken place during the 10-day period. According to sources, the Taliban were not satisfied with the negotiations and that some TTP ‘commanders' had reservations over what they perceived as the Government’s ‘non-serious’ attitude to the dialogue. They are said to be insisting on calling off ceasefire. The TTP have presented two conditions for further progress. The first is an immediate release of non-combatant prisoners and the second calls for declaration of a “peace zone” for talks in tribal area where militants can freely move about. Meanwhile, locals said that drones kept hovering over the sky in different areas of Ghulam Khan, Dattakhel, Shawal, Miranshah, Mir Ali and Razmak tehsils (revenue units) of the Agency on April 11. They said that the drones first appeared early in the morning and continued to operate till late in the night.

At least 10 militants were killed in the ongoing infighting in the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Shawal tehsil (revenue unit) of Miranshah in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 11, reports The Express Tribune. A local security official said that fighting erupted in the night of April 11 when militants belonging to Wali-ur-Rahman Group ambushed a vehicle carrying members of the Hakimullah Group close to the border of North and South Waziristan. All those inside were killed, while the attackers fled the scene. The official confirmed that the dead militants belonged to the Hakimullah Group, which is led by Shehryar Mehsud. According to independent sources, at least 43 militants from both factions have been killed in clashes which erupted on April 6, 2014 in South Waziristan Agency and later escalated to neighbouring North Waziristan Agency and Tank District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Several militants (unspecified numbers) were killed in infighting between two factions of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 11 (today) in South Waziristan Agency, reports Dawn. The cause of clash is said to be over interference in matters inside one another’s domains. The fighters from both sides have been launching attacks in the areas of Shawal, Shaktoi, Makin and Tank with heavy ammunition and artillery in an attempt to destroy one another’s sanctuaries. Moreover, the internal strife between the two groups is now spilling onto other areas of the region. The clash has led to over 30 deaths since its first day on April 6, 2014. The clashes erupted between supporters of Khan Said Sajna and followers of the late Hakimullah Mehsud group.

The Shura (council) of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 14 met at an unknown location in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to discuss the fate of the peace talks and the extension in ceasefire, reports Dawn. According to sources, key Taliban leaders, including peace committee head Qari Shakeel and Azam Tariq, attended the meeting while the TTP’s 'deputy Ameer' (chief) Khalid Haqqani chaired it. The key issues being discussed during the meeting were the extension of ceasefire and the exchange of non-combatants. Apart from these, infighting among two rival TTP factions was also on the agenda. In a statement issued on April 13, 2014, TTP ‘spokesman’ Shahidullah Shahid said that the differences and clashes between the two groups had been blown out of proportion in the media, adding that these were not of much importance. He had also said that the various groups of the TTP were united and on one page when it came to talks with the Government. However, independent as well as intelligence sources said that the delay over the ceasefire issue was due to internal strife within TTP ranks.

A pamphlet attributed to the Afghan Taliban and distributed in parts of North Waziristan Agency on April 14 confirmed serious differences among the TTP factions and the infighting which has left a number of militants killed on both sides, reports Dawn. The Pashto language Pamphlet, with letter head of Afghan Taliban’s ‘chief’ Mullah Umar, has not only mentioned the conflict among the Mehsud Taliban groups which forms major part of TTP but also appealed to the local tribesmen to pray and resolve the conflict. The pamphlet also appealed to the Taliban groups to play their role in defusing the tension and stopping the infighting between Hakimullah Mehsud group led by Sheryar Mehsud and Khan Said Sajna group, affiliated earlier to Wali-ur-Rehman Mehsud group. The authenticity of the letter, however, could not be verified from the Afghan Taliban.

A Security Force (SF) official was injured when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded on Ghulam Khan Road near Saidgee checkpost near Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 15, reports Dawn. Security personnel cordoned off the area and started looking for the suspects. The search continued for about 30 minutes during helicopter gunships attacked suspected militant hideouts. No group claimed responsibility for the blast which took place at a time when the Shura (Council) of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was meeting to decide the future of peace talks. A Taliban leader said it appeared that some unscrupulous elements were trying to create a misunderstanding between the SFs and the Taliban to derail the peace process.

Militants launched a major attack on a Security Forces’ (SF) fort in the Landikotal area of the Khyber Agency on April 17, reports Dawn. The attack came one day after Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) revoked its 40-day-long ceasefire. Official sources said that the militants had fired bullet rounds and mortars from the adjoining mountains at a weapons depot situated inside the fort that is controlled by the SFs. The residents heard several explosions caused by the exchange of fire between the militants and the SFs. Some of the locals added that they had seen flames rising high from the fort. According to sources, some unspecified numbers of suicide bombers were reported to be among the attackers. The SFs also returned the fire and targeted the militants’ positions with mortars and artillery rounds. The extent of material damage and the number of casualties could not be ascertained due to a lack of access to the area. No official version of the incident has been issued so far.

As the Government team prepares for another meeting with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), many of the foreign militants based in and around North Waziristan Agency (NWA) of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) feel they are facing an uncertain future and are not only seeking assurances from their hosts but are also weighing options for moving out to others places, like Afghanistan and Syria, to continue their ‘jihad’, Dawn reports on April 25. This emerged during a series of interviews conducted by Dawn correspondent mainly around NWA, on getting exclusive access to various groups and to some of the most wanted fugitives in the country. “Most of us do not think that the talks would succeed. But if there is give and take from both sides then we fear the Government would try to isolate us. Our hosts did take us into confidence before the talks started, but we feel the government would put them in a tight spot and their options may be limited,” said Azzaam, a senior member of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). But some of the foreign militants also see the developments as an opportunity. “Jihad is not restricted to a single land. We have the flexibility to move around. At the moment most brothers realise that one of the noblest jihadi fronts is Syria,” said Sheikh Abdul Salam, a Saudi national based in NWA.

According to unnamed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sources, many TTP militants, fearing that a military offensive will finally be launched, have vacated the areas surrounding Mir Ali and Miranshah towns of North Waziristan Agency (NWA) in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and shifted towards the border with Afghanistan and into the Afghan Provinces where anti-Pakistan elements are strong, reports Daily Times. “Around 6,000 militants, including locals, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Chechen and Turkmens, shifted towards the border with Afghanistan and into the Afghan provinces of Paktia, Paktika, Khost, Nuristan and Kunar,” sources said, adding that nearly 400 fighters have left for jihad in Syria. “While focusing on shifting to safe havens on the border and beyond, the Taliban fighters have also restricted their movement in main towns of NWA. About 4,000 militants, most of them locals, still reside in Mir Ali and Miranshah towns and its suburbs,” sources revealed. The unnamed sources also said that expectations of the militant leaders of talks succeeding are too low. Although the ‘commanders’ of the TTP have not formally refused to call off the dialogue, but they are convinced that it would lead nowhere, and finally a military operation will be imposed on them, the sources said.

He claimed that the SFs have suffered heavy casualties in the fighting. The claim, however, could not be verified independently because the area is inaccessible to journalists.
