Afghan District Governor Wali Shah said on July 1 (today) that Taliban rebels fighting United States (US) troops and the Kabul Government live and operate in safety from Pakistan reports The News. "The Pakistan Government protects the insurgents. When Pakistan says it will crack down on them, it is just pretending," he said, adding, "The Taliban is trained by the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] and launch attacks into Afghanistan. Pakistan doesn't want the violence here to stop. It doesn't want Afghanistan to develop."

On July 1 new details emerged of how two Western hostages in Afghanistan were freed in exchange for a hefty ransom paid in Pakistan and the release of two brothers who were abducted on December 30, 2009 by Qari Baryal Taliban faction in Afghanistan’s Kapisa province, reports Daily Times. According to expert and Taliban sources, French journalists Herve Ghesquiere and Stephane Taponier were released in a brokered deal. Though the French Government denied paying any ransom, but Western experts say cash for hostages is routine policy in Europe and interpret the public remarks merely as an attempt to discourage future hostage taking. The Afghan Taliban announced that there was a prisoner exchange for reporter Ghesquiere and cameraman Taponier, but sources close to the case say it was only about the money. “A ransom was paid, an enormous amount of millions of dollars. The money was handed over in Pakistan,” a Taliban member close to central command said on the condition of anonymity, adding, “The money was handed over in the Karkhano smugglers market on the border area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.” In addition, at least two ‘commanders’ in the Qari Baryal faction, identified as brothers Noor Ullah and Abdullah Haq, were released in exchange. However one of these sources said 15 other Taliban militants from different areas were also released in exchange for the two journalists.

US Senator John McCain on July 3 said the role of ties between Afghanistan insurgents and Inter-Service Intelligence agency (ISI) needed to be acknowledged, reports The News. "We have to deal with Pakistan on a basis of realism, that there are connections between the ISI and the Haqqani network and the Taliban," McCain said in a news conference. Fellow Republican Senator Lindsey Graham also said they he were concerned about Pakistani ties with insurgents. "Our job as members of the Senate is to tell the Pakistan 'you need to chose who you want your friends to be and who you want your enemies to be'. We want to be your friends." Independent Senator Joe Lieberman said.

The Barrack Obama administration will hold back about $800 million in aid to the Pakistani military because Washington is unhappy with Pakistan’s expulsion of US military trainers and its campaign against militants, Dawn quoting New York Times reported on July 9. The New York Times, citing three US senior officials, said the United States was suspending or canceling USD 800 million in aid and equipment —more than a third of the USD two billion it gives Pakistan for security assistance. About USD 300 million in US funding is to reimburse Pakistan for deploying more than 100,000 troops along the Afghan border to combat Taliban and other militant forces. Other funding covers training and military hardware, New York Times sources said. Pakistan has shut down a US program that had been training paramilitary forces, sending home more than 100 US trainers in recent weeks, and has threatened to close the base the CIA has been using for drone plane attacks on militant targets. “They wanted to tell us, ‘Guys, we’re delivering the message that this is not business as usual and we’ve got this under control,’” one senior Senate aide told New York Times.

The United Nations (UN) Security Council committee overseeing sanctions on July 15 removed 14 Taliban leaders from an international blacklist in order to encourage peaceful reconciliation in Afghanistan, reports Dawn. Germany’s UN ambassador Peter Wittig, who heads the Security Council for the month of July, said the decision “sends a strong signal: the Security Council and the international community support the efforts of the Afghan government to engage reconciled Taliban in a political dialogue in order to achieve peace and security in Afghanistan.” The 14 Taliban on the list include Arsalan Rahmani Daulat, Habibullah Fawzi, Sayeedur Rahman Haqani and Faqir Mohammad, all members of Afghanistan’s peace council, Wittig said. “The international community recognizes efforts made by member of the High Peace Council to work towards peace, stability, and reconciliation,” Wittig added. “All Afghans are encouraged to join these efforts. The message is clear: engaging for peace pays off,” Wittig added further.

The Taliban released a video showing the execution of 16 Pakistani Policemen, captured during a raid in June from Pakistan’s Upper Dir District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, reports Dawn. The video shows the Policemen lined up on a hillside, their hands tied behind their backs, standing in front of armed Taliban fighters wearing scarves to hide their faces. One of the fighters accused the men of executing six children. The fighters opened fire on the Policemen and then systematically fired a shot in the head. Upper Dir Police Chief Mir Qasim Khan put the number of victims in the video at 18, saying they were Policemen and paramilitary Police captured on June 1. “It was a pre-dawn attack and that’s why most of them are not wearing uniform,” he told AFP. Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the Policemen were captured when the Taliban staged an attack from Afghanistan in Pakistan’s Upper Dir District in June. The video was published on the LiveLeak website.

United States (US) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on July 20 that Washington expected Islamabad to press Afghan Taliban insurgents to join the reconciliation process in Afghanistan, reported Daily Times. Clinton said, “Pakistan must prevent its territory being used for attacks that destabilise Afghanistan or India, and deny al Qaeda the space to regroup and plan new violence,” adding, “We all need to be on the same page for this to work”. Stressing Washington’s commitment to the war-torn country and India’s concerns over a US troop drawdown from Afghanistan, Clinton said, “Let me be clear, drawing down is not the same as disengaging,” adding, “We will continue targeting terrorists and supporting the Afghan Army and Police and we will continue our efforts to help the Afghan people rebuild after three decades of war”.

A year-long military-led investigation has concluded that United States (US) taxpayer money has been indirectly funnelled to the Afghan Taliban under a $2.16 billion transportation contract that the US has funded in part to promote Afghan businesses, reported Daily Times quoting an American newspaper The Washington Post on July 25. Citing an unreleased investigation, The Washington Post said the findings provide seemingly definitive evidence that corruption puts US transportation money into Taliban hands. Intelligence officials traced $3.3 million, withdrawn in 27 transactions from the commander’s account, which was transferred to insurgents in the form of weapons, explosives and cash.

The United Nations (UN) Security Council on July 29 put the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on its international anti-terrorism sanctions list in a move highlighting the growing threat from the outfit, reports Daily Times. The adding of the TTP to the sanctions list also comes as the Security Council eases pressure on the Afghan Taliban in a bid to encourage it to join peace moves in Afghanistan. The TTP have been blamed for attacks that have left hundreds dead in Pakistan but also been linked to an attempted bombing in Times Square of New York May 1. Britain’s UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant welcomed the addition of the TTP to counter-terrorism list, a moved which has been backed by the Pakistan Government.
