According to Reuters, nine militants and two soldiers were killed during the fighting on November 1, taking the TTP death toll to 331 in 16 days of fighting. 38 soldiers have been killed in the operation so far, according to Army estimates, although there is no independent verification of casualty figures. "The command and control structure of the Taliban exists in Sararogha, Makeen and Ladha," a security official said. "It’s going to be a tough fight here," he added.

The Army hopes to neutralise the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in South Waziristan Agency before the winter sets in, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on November 1, Daily Times reported. "The operation so far has been very successful. The resistance that we were expecting initially did not come with the same swiftness we were expecting," Qureshi - who is in Kuala Lumpur to attend a meeting of Islamic countries starting on November 2 (today) - told reporters. "South Waziristan is an area which is very important in order to check terrorist activity in Pakistan. Not just Pakistan, but beyond," said Qureshi. He said the armed forces had surrounded the area and choked supply lines to the Taliban. "They are on the run. They are in retreat and there is disarray over there," he claimed. Qureshi said it would be difficult to give a timeframe for total military success, but "we would want to achieve our objectives as much as possible before the winter sets in… And it seems, as things are going on, that we might be able to do so ... I can’t give you a date, but that area becomes very cold (by late December). We want to operate and establish our foothold before that."

The Security Forces (SFs) killed 16 Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants and injured 10 others in clashes on November 1 during Operation Rah-e-Nijat in the South Waziristan Agency, Daily Times reported.

Separately, aerial strikes in Ladha, Saam, Gadawai, Maidaan and Makeen killed five militants and injured three others. Four TTP hideouts were also destroyed in the air-strikes. In addition, the SFs captured Kaniguram, a town with a population of 30,000, and seized heavy weapons during a door-to-door search operation.

Refuting the Army’s claims about gains in South Waziristan, the TTP claimed that its fighters had staged a tactical retreat from some areas to bring the troops into hilly and forested areas. In a telephonic conversation with a foreign news agency, TTP spokesman Azam Tariq denied the Army’s claims of killing over 300 militants during the last 18 days. "Only 11 of our men have been killed so far," Azam Tariq was quoted as saying. He said they were prepared for a long war with the Army and that they had retreated as part of a strategy from certain areas that the Army was claiming to have captured.

The Security Forces (SFs) advanced towards Janta on November 3 after securing areas around the Taliban stronghold of Sararogha in the South Waziristan Agency, where 21 militants and one soldier were reported dead by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), The News reported. Official sources said the troops had secured the areas around Sararogha while clashes had taken place near Makeen and Sam where the militants were offering resistance. The troops claimed killing 16 militants during clashes in Sararogha while a soldier was killed and another injured in a landmine explosion in the area. They said several improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted by the militants were discovered and defused by the troops. The military is reported to have claimed considerable gains against the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on all the three fronts. Officials said the troops were now advancing towards Makeen and Ladha, considered as two major strongholds of the militants. With the 21 casualties on November 3, as claimed by the Army officials, the death toll of the militants has mounted to 364 in the past 18 days. However, claims and counter-claims from the two sides could not be confirmed from independent sources mainly due to inaccessibility of the area, severance of communication lines, and displacement of people from South Waziristan and their shifting to safer places. Local sources said the SFs had captured the Janta area located between Sararogha and Ladha. However, they said the area had already been vacated by the militants. Janta is said to be a mountainous area and once a base of the Taliban because of its strategic location. They said the troops were now advancing towards Ladha, Asman Manza and Karwan Manza, the next important points after the capture of Kaniguram. The sources also said the TTP hideouts were targeted by fighter jets and with heavy artillery in Ladha, Makeen and Sam areas. Four militants’ positions were reportedly destroyed in the attack, the sources added. According to local officials, the troops are yet to reach the Ladha, Janta, Shaktoi and Barwand areas. However, they said Makeen was almost under siege by the troops, who had established strong posts on the nearby mountains to facilitate their advance on this stronghold of the militants. The ISPR statement said besides killing 16 militants and the death of an Army soldier, two suspected militants had been arrested in Sararogha. It said militants fired six rockets on security forces in Kaniguram as they were busy searching the area for IEDs, weapons and militants to secure the adjoining ridges. The military said five militants were killed during a clash in Ghanikhel near Kaniguram. On the Razmak-Makeen axis, the troops said they had secured the area from Cheena up to Mian Nurkhel. Manza Sar had also been secured and the troops were consolidating their positions, the statement added. The ISPR said the troops came under a rocket and small arms attack from the militants near Razmak, but no one was killed or injured. One soldier sustained injuries while defusing an IED at the Chashmai bridge on the same axis.

The Security Forces (SFs) secured Ladha Fort in South Waziristan Agency on November 5 and consolidated their positions on peaks around another base of the militants, Daily Times reported. An Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said 28 Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants had been killed, taking the death toll for the TTP to 422 since the Operation Rah-e-Nijat began on October 17. Five soldiers, including an officer, were killed and two were injured on November 5, the statement said. “Security forces have secured Ladha Fort and the northeast area of Shashak and also cleared Bangel Khel,” the ISPR statement stated. SFs secured the Ladha Fort and consolidated their positions on the peaks in the Sararogha area where the five soldiers were killed in a blast, the military said. The troops also conducted house-to-house search and clearance operations in the Spin Qamar, Wucha Kauna Algad and Lugar Manza areas. The SFs also recovered a heavy cache of arms from the Razmak-Makeen axis.

The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of Sindh Police claimed to have arrested a most wanted militant belonging to the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), from a petrol station in the Sohrab Goth area of provincial capital Karachi on November 5, The News reported. The SIU officials claimed that the militant, identified as 32-year old Umer Khan, was on number five of the top ten most wanted list and termed his arrest a major breakthrough in the ongoing operation against militants in the country. Khan was the ‘commander’ of the Kabal-Gram area of Shangla in the Malakand Division of NWFP. During the military operation earlier in 2009, Umer Khan fled from Swat and came to Karachi and was working as a petrol pump operator situated near Sohrab Goth and through a tip-off, a special team of SIU conducted a successful raid and arrested him from the petrol pump. One TT pistol was recovered from his possession.

The TTP chief Hakeemullah Mehsud has urged his fighters to stand fast against the military offensive in South Waziristan, warning them in an intercepted message obtained on November 5 that cowards will go to hell, The News reported. “Remember this is the commandment of God that once fighting starts with the enemy, you cannot leave the battlefield without permission from your commander, and don’t look for excuses to run away from the fighting,” Hakeemullah told his followers in a speech on November 3 broadcast over a wireless radio network. Of those, who do run away, he warned, “Such people will go to hell.” The intelligence officials shared a recording of the speech with The Associated Press, to show that the militant leader is concerned about desertions in the ranks. “We are in Jihad and we should not pay heed to the whispers of Satan. We should sacrifice our lives for Islam so that we can feel pride on the day of judgment,” Hakeemullah said. The political administration officials said the troops had advanced some 30 kilometres from the Wana direction so far. They have reportedly captured some strategically important areas of Ladha Tehsil (revenue unit), which will facilitate their advance on the Ladha town. According to officials, the SFs have got control of Garde Serai mountain after consolidating positions in Ladha and the freshly captured Ladha Fort, which was abandoned by the Frontier Corps (FC) after immense pressure from the militants more than a year ago. Sources said the FC fort was mostly destroyed by the militants. A clash was reported in Shamerai village near the Ladha bridge. Officials said seven militants were killed and some others sustained injuries in the incident. They said the rest of militants fled the scene. The troops also captured Sheen Sar and the Hanrai Tangi area in their advance from Jandola towards Sararogha. From the Razmak side, the SFs have seized control of Panj Plorai and Ashkar Kot to reach the Taliban stronghold of Makeen. A statement from the ISPR said a blast near Sararogha killed five soldiers, including one officer. Two more soldiers sustained injuries. The explosion occurred as the troops were busy in a clearance operation and consolidating their positions on the Jandola-Sararogha axis. The troops have captured the areas of Shashak and Bangalkhel on the Shakai-Kaniguram axis. Seven militants were killed in retaliatory fire from SFs in Mangora and Ghundai Ghar. The troops also secured the road from Asman Manza to Gadawai, said the ISPR statement.

Troops killed at least 21 militants in Makeen, where a house owned by slain TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud was also demolished. The Security Forces are also consolidating their positions around Sararogha, where search-and-clearance operations are underway. Troops, in addition, killed at least three TTP militants when the group fired rockets in Sararogha. The SFs are also reportedly consolidating their positions in and around Ladha, and conducting search-and-clearance operations.

Tariq Afridi, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘commander’ for Darra Adam Khel in the NWFP, has reportedly been appointed as the chief of the banned organisation for Khyber Agency in the FATA and the Matani area of Peshawar District in the NWFP, according to The News. Taliban sources said the appointment was made by the TTP Shura (executive council), which met recently in Orakzai Agency. The sources said Muhammad, the spokesman for the TTP in Darra Adam Khel, would also be the spokesman for the organisation for the Khyber Agency and the Matani area. Omar, belonging to Darra Adam Khel, would be the spokesman for the TTP in the Jewaki area in Darra Adam Khel and for the Kohat region. These appointments were not announced formally by the TTP, but the Taliban sources contended that approval was given by the Shura of the organisation in its meeting held in the Orakzai Agency. Qari Hussain, the TTP ‘commander’ known as trainer of suicide bombers, reportedly attended the meeting. Aslam Farooqi is said to be the patron of the militants in the Orakzai Agency. Tariq Afridi, reportedly based in the Orakzai Agency, has been fighting Security Forces in Darra Adam Khel and sponsoring attacks in Peshawar and Kohat. Intelligence sources said some of the suicide bombers striking in Peshawar, Kohat and Punjab province were also being sent on missions by Tariq Afridi and his men. Tariq Afridi and the TTP unit in Darra Adam Khel were also behind the abduction of Polish engineer Petr Stanczak and his subsequent execution in 2008. At present, there is no chief of the TTP in the Khyber Agency. The position was apparently left vacant when Yahya Hijrat, the former leader of the TTP in the Khyber Agency, was arrested in Peshawar. He was subsequently declared dead in a Police encounter. Tariq Afridi would continue to head the TTP in his native Darra Adam Khel and also in the Matani area of Peshawar District.

The Afghan Taliban ‘Commander’ Abdul Manan a.k.a. Mulla Toor Jan, has denied any link between the Afghan Taliban and Pakistani militants, saying that the Afghan Taliban were not in Pakistan but were fighting in Afghanistan against the occupied troops, The News reported. Talking to a TV channel, Abdul Manan said the Afghan Taliban was fighting against the US and NATO troops as they occupied Afghanistan through force and the Taliban would drive them out of their land. Responding to a question regarding suicide attacks in Pakistan, he said: “It is un-Islamic and wrong to target innocent people in blasts.” He also expressed his unawareness about the objectives of the Pakistani Taliban. Asked about the Taliban Shura in Quetta, capital of Balochistan, he said the Taliban had control of over 80 per cent of Afghanistan and it would not be wise for the Taliban to live in Pakistan, saying only one per cent or less Taliban militants visit Pakistan to meet their relatives. Answering another question, he rejected the influence of Al Qaeda on the Taliban, saying the Taliban wanted an Islamic system in the country according to the wishes of the people. Talking on coordination among the Taliban, he said advisers of the Taliban existed all over the country and they took decisions after consultation and their decisions had to be followed by the Taliban.

The Army on November 10 claimed killing nine more militants to raise the Taliban death tally to 492 since the launch of the Operation Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency on October 17, The News reported. Among the nine slain militants, the Army said five were killed in the north of Ladha and four others were killed in the Tauda Cheena and Fort Knoll areas of Makeen. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the SFs continued search and clearance operations in the Sarai Ghundaka, Kandao, Spinkai and Zariwam areas on the Jandola-Sararogha axis. The SFs have reportedly discovered and dismantled a private jail near the Bangalkhel area of Ladha, where they are conducting a search and clearance operation over the past few days. Several caves, bunkers, towers and observation posts of the Taliban were also destroyed in the same area, said the ISPR. On the Razmak-Makeen axis, the SFs recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition and arrested one militant from the area. Political administration officials said the troops were in complete control of Makeen, the nerve centre of the TTP. They said the areas of Shakai, Kaniguram and Makeen had been cleared while a search operation was underway in Maidan, Kot Langarkhel and Bazay. The troops have also established posts on mountains in Sararogha to strengthen their positions and started a search operation on the Srarogha-Piazha Road. The troops are now reportedly advancing towards Janta, Piazha and Makeen from the Sararogha side. Sources said the SFs had also started a search operation in the Sam area of Ladha while posts had been established on the hilltops in Karwan Manza, Karam and Delay. Sources said the SFs were now controlling more than 80 per cent of the Mehsud areas in the agency as there was no or little resistance from the militants in recent days. They said the majority of militants had either fled into the neighbouring North Waziristan and Orakzai Agencies or sneaked into the adjacent districts of Tank and Dera Ismail Khan in the NWFP in the garb of fleeing population.

At least seven Taliban militants were killed and two soldiers sustained injuries in the ongoing Operation Rah-e-Nijat in the South Waziristan Agency, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said on November 11, Daily Times reported. “An intense gunbattle took place at the recently-established checkpost at Fort Knoll, where seven terrorists were killed and two soldiers, including an officer injured,” it said. The forces also reportedly cleared Kaniguram and discovered eight tunnels inside the compounds and seized arms and ammunition. The operation is now mostly focused on consolidation of troops’ positions in and around the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) strongholds of Makeen, Ladha and Sararogha. Political administration officials told The News that a search operation had been launched in Faqir Koroona and Siga villages of Ladha sub-division. They said the troops had started advancing towards Ladha from Makeen and were only six kilometres away from it. The troops are expected to be in full control of the Wana-Razmak road once they occupy and clear the remaining six kilometres road between Ladha and Makeen. Jet fighters continued hitting the TTP hideouts alongside the ground offensive and sources said four positions of militants were destroyed in Shaktoi. Sources said tunnels up to half-kilometre-long had been discovered in Kari Kamar, Char Chobai, Mohmand Kamar, Roghpal, Panrai Kamar, Manzai and Mirza Begai areas of Kaniguram and been cleared of militants and IEDs on the 26th day of the military action that began on October 17. Local sources said huge quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives were recovered during a search operation in Boya area located north of Shakai.

17 soldiers were killed in stiff resistance to Operation Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on November 12, The News reported. This is the highest death toll for the military since operations were launched on October 17, security officials said. At least 15 soldiers were killed in clashes while a roadside bomb blast killed two soldiers in the Sararogha area further east, officials said. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) earlier said that five soldiers and 22 militants were killed in the last 24 hours of the offensive. But the Army and security officials in the area told AFP that the military death toll was 17. 15 soldiers were killed in the clashes, an Army officer told AFP. It is the first time we have seen such stiff resistance, he said. Another unnamed official also said the clashes included face-to-face fighting. The Army said five militants were killed on November 12 during a clash with militants in the Ghra Sar area on the Jandola-Sararogha axis. The troops were busy clearing the area when they came under fire from the militants. One soldier sustained injuries in an exchange of fire. 14 militants and five soldiers were killed while seven soldiers sustained injuries in another clash in the Kot Langarkhel area near Ladha as the troops continued a search and clearance operation on the Shakai-Kaniguram axis. The military said caches of arms and ammunition were recovered in Sata, Mangora Sar, Narakai, Gulit Killay, Torwam and Shabikhel areas. On the Razmak-Makeen axis, the Security Forces (SFs) continued advancing towards the south of Makeen. A security post was also established in Zaidullah Gharyum and troops started patrolling the area, the ISPR said. It said the operation was under way to secure the Darra Algad area, located south of Makeen. The statement said three more militants were killed during a clash with troops in Rogha village. The political administration officials said the Ladha-Wana Road had been cleared of landmines while the operation was under way to clear the Ladha-Makeen Road. Five remote-controlled bombs were discovered and defused on the Ladha-Wana Road, officials added. Locals said elders from South Waziristan were holding talks with the political administration and discussing the repatriation of the displaced people to their respective areas as the troops were in control of more than 80 per cent of the Mehsud tribal territory now. Sources said the political administration had informed the tribal elders to prepare themselves for return to their areas cleared by the Army. The sources said the administration wanted the people to go back to the cleared areas, but the residents were reluctant as they feared both the Army and TTP.

Meanwhile, Azam Tariq, spokesman for the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), told a news conference at a secret location in South Waziristan that the Taliban never thought of Azad (independent) Waziristan, which was the propaganda of the "pro-US" government in Islamabad. Only three journalists from the neighbouring North Waziristan Agency were reportedly invited to a meeting with Azam Tariq at a secret location. The TTP spokesman told the journalists that they would continue fighting the American and NATO troops in Afghanistan. He said the Taliban in Waziristan had no dispute with the Government of Pakistan and the Army, as the people of this region were patriots. He alleged that the Government had risked the country and the people by lending support to the United States and the TTP would continue its war till the US control ended. He dissociated the Taliban from the blasts in civilian areas and claimed the Blackwater agency was involved in all such attacks. "Look, what it (Blackwater) has done in Iraq with civilians," said Azam Tariq, adding the security agency was brought into Pakistan under a well-planned strategy. An AFP report added that Azam Tariq also said the Taliban’s guerrilla war would expel troops from South Waziristan. "We have not been defeated. We have voluntarily withdrawn into the mountains under a strategy that will trap the Pakistan Army in the area," the Taliban spokesman claimed. "The Army claims they have captured most of the towns. This is wrong, in fact we have vacated old forts which we captured from them in previous clashes. The troops are trapped there and we will retake the area," he said.
