Taliban militants signed a peace agreement with the Government on September 5, pledging not to launch cross-border attacks in Afghanistan and not to shelter foreign fighters, according to Daily Times. The agreement aims to end two years of violence in North Waziristan, where hundreds of people have died in clashes between security forces and Taliban militants. The Taliban had been observing a unilateral cease-fire since June 2006. Taliban representative Azad Khan and North Waziristan chief administrator Fakhar-e-Alam signed the agreement in Miranshah, in the presence of army commander Major General Azhar Ali Shah. “Misunderstandings between the administration and Taliban led to unpleasant moments, but we are happy that a new beginning starts today,” parliamentarian Maulana Nek Zaman of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal said at the ceremony, witnessed by around 500 tribesmen. A 10-member committee of tribal elders, clerics and administration officials was set up to monitor the progress and implementation of the agreement, a Government statement read. Under the agreement, the Taliban accepted the Government demand that cross-border attacks would not be launched nor foreign militants sheltered. They also agreed not to attack Government buildings or security forces, and not to conduct “target killings” of Government servants, tribal elders and journalists. In return, the Government agreed to stop air and ground operations; return all weapons and other material seized during operations; restore privileges of tribesmen; and remove all check-posts.

A peace deal between Pakistan and pro-Taliban militants does not give “safe haven” to terrorists who may be hiding on tribal lands near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, US President George W Bush said in an interview on September 7, according to Daily Times. “I don’t read it that way,” Bush said of the agreement signed on September 5 in which the militants agreed to stop attacks in the region. “What he is doing is entering agreements with governors in the regions of the country, in the hopes that there would be an economic vitality, there will be alternatives to violence and terror,” Bush said in an ABC News interview. Bush said he did not know all the details of the agreement but added that he would be seeing Musharraf “pretty soon”. “You know, we are watching this very carefully, obviously,” Bush noted.

President Pervez Musharraf on September 7 publicly acknowledged that Al Qaeda and Taliban militants were crossing from Pakistan to launch attacks inside Afghanistan, stressing that such actions were neither Government- nor ISI- (Inter-Services Intelligence) sponsored, according to Daily Times. In an address in Kabul attended by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, General Musharraf said: “There are Qaeda and Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Certainly they are crossing from (the) Pakistan side and causing bomb blasts and terrorist activities in your country.” However, he claimed, “Let me say neither the government of Pakistan nor ISI is involved in any kind of interference inside Afghanistan.” Saying that both sides had to now end the “blame game”, he urged Kabul to work with Islamabad on a new strategy to combat the Taliban. According to a joint statement issued by the Pakistani Foreign Office at the conclusion of Gen. Musharraf’s two-day visit to Afghanistan, the leaders had agreed to consolidate relations between the two countries. They agreed that extremism, terrorism and the phenomenon of Talibanisation were a common threat to Afghanistan, Pakistan and the region.

Two bomb explosions occurred at two markets in the Bannu city of North West Frontier Province on September 11, damaging several video shops. “Several video shops, including a videogame shop, were damaged when two explosions targeted two different markets in the early hours of Monday,” District Police Officer Muhammad Iqbal Khan told Daily Times. He said he believed that pro-Taliban militants were behind the attacks, given that three months ago, shop owners of “un-Islamic” businesses, such as those selling music or videos, were told to shut down or else face the consequences. Deputy Nazim Fakhruddin Khan also believed that the blasts were the work of pro-Taliban elements.

President Pervez Musharraf has blamed the West for breeding terrorism in his country by bringing in thousands of Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then leaving Pakistan alone a decade later to face the armed warriors, according to Daily Times. Gen. Musharraf told the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee in Brussels on September 12 that Pakistan was not the intolerant, extremist country often portrayed by the West, and terrorism and extremism were not inherent in Pakistani society. “Whatever extremism or terrorism is in Pakistan is a direct fallout of the 26 years of warfare and militancy around us. It gets back to 1979 when the West, the United States and Pakistan waged a war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan,” Musharraf told EU lawmakers. “We launched a jihad, brought in Mujahideen from all over the Muslim world, the US and the West… We armed the Taliban and sent them in; we did it together. In 1989 everyone left Pakistan with 30,000 armed Mujahideen who were there, and the Taliban who were there,” he said, adding that Pakistan had “paid a big price for being part of the coalition that fought the Soviet Union.” Musharraf claimed that the scourge of terrorism had been eliminated from Pakistan and that efforts were underway to root out extremism, but this would take time. He also reportedly warned the West that Taliban insurgents were a more dangerous terrorist force than Al Qaeda because of the broad support they had in Afghanistan, Reuters reported. “The centre of gravity of terrorism has shifted from Al Qaeda to the Taliban,” he told EU lawmakers, adding, “This is a new element, a more dangerous element, because it (the Taliban) has its roots in the people. Al Qaeda didn’t have roots in the people.”

According to Daily Times, Police claimed to have arrested 14 suspected Taliban operatives in a raid on a private hospital in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province, on September 13. Police arrested the 14 during a raid on Pakistan General Hospital on Zargoon Road. “Six of the arrested Taliban were injured while the rest had come to see them at the hospital when the police arrested them,” official sources said, adding that the suspects were from Afghanistan’s Helmand province, and that some of them had been admitted to the hospital after they were injured in a clash. AP said Taliban ‘group commander’ Mullah Ghaffar was among those arrested. Balochistan Police chief Chaudhry Mohammed Yaqoob, however, refused to confirm the arrests.

The United States (U.S.) indicated that the agreement the Government signed with pro-Taliban tribal chiefs in North Waziristan on September 5 has the ‘potential to work’, according to Dawn. In a speech at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher endorsed the deal as an effort to get tribal support to defeat terrorism. He declared that no country had done more than Pakistan in the war against terror. Noting that the Government had carved out a new strategy to deal with the cross-border activities of Taliban and Al Qaeda, Boucher said: “The agreement really has the potential to work.” The U.S., he said, understood that to effectively control the Afghan border, Pakistan needed “cooperation from local tribes and they are really trying to get in.”

The Government on September 23 denied a report by a British newspaper that the peace agreement in Waziristan was endorsed by Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “There is no truth to the story. We strongly deny that the peace deal with the tribesmen was signed with the consent of Mullah Omar. There was no outsider involved in the agreement,” Senator Tariq Azeem, state Minister for Information, told Daily Times. British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the fugitive Mullah Omar signed a letter explicitly endorsing the truce announced on September 5. “Had they been not asked by Mullah Omar, none of them were willing to sign an agreement,” said Lateef Afridi, a tribal elder and former National Assembly member.

Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam dismissed reports about the presence of Taliban leadership in Pakistan, according to The News. “Taliban are in Afghanistan and the insurgency is deep inside Afghanistan, far away from Pakistan’s borders,” she said during a press briefing in Islamabad on September 25. She also rejected reports that the agreement between the tribal and local authorities in Waziristan was at the behest of the fugitive Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “It is absolutely baseless,” she said and added that the deal particularly binds the tribal from traveling across the border into Afghanistan for acts of terror. About the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, she said, “We have no information about his coordinates, we have no information whether he is dead or alive.”

President Pervez Musharraf on September 26 rejected NATO security assessments that Taliban’s headquarters was in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province, according to Daily Times. “Anyone who says this is wrong. This is the most ridiculous statement,” he said, adding that Pakistan did not have financial resources to support the Taliban who, he said, were being financed by poppy growers. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations after the formal launch of his book In The Line of Fire, Musharraf said Afghan President Hamid Karzai didn’t understand the environment in his country and said that the Taliban could not be defeated only by force. He criticised President Karzai for claiming that militants hiding in Pakistan’s tribal areas were behind the rise in violence in Afghanistan. “The sooner President Karzai understands his own country, the better,” Gen. Musharraf said, adding that the Afghan president was to be blamed for “disenfranchising” the Pushtoons, who make up a majority of the Afghan population.

Unidentified gunmen killed two militants and injured three others near Wana in South Waziristan on September 27, according to Daily Times. No one claimed responsibility for the incident, but an area intelligence official said the attack may have been linked with rivalry between pro-Taliban tribal militants and a group of Uzbek fighters. The attacked militants were believed to be loyal to a pro-Taliban tribesman known as Hanan, who had started a campaign to oust Uzbek militants living in the Shakai mountain valley region north of Wana, an intelligence official said.
