Militant spokesman Muslim Khan said five abandoned houses and a school were also destroyed in the bombing. The same area was bombed during the night between August 29 and 30, when the military officials claimed killing nearly 50 militants.

The army claimed on September 1 that it had routed Taliban militants in Bajaur, killing 560 Pakistani and foreign fighters and foiling a push to make Bajaur into a militant fortress. Major General Athar Abbas, the chief of ISPR, told a western news agency that 20 SF personnel had died and 30 were missing. "In our view, the back has been broken… Main leaders are on the run and the people of the area are now openly defying whatever the militants had achieved there," he said. He also said many foreigners were reportedly in Bajaur before the operation, but that many had probably fled to Afghanistan or other parts of the NWFP and that the operation had turned up no trace of al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri.

He said the four were in good health. “Our aim is to hit the Government’s interests wherever they are. We kidnap everyone irrespective of whether he’s Pakistani or Chinese and we’ll continue to do this until they stop killing our people,” Reuters quoted Khan.

The security forces (SFs) claimed to have killed about 30 militants and wounded 35 others in a ground assault backed by gunship helicopters in the militants-infested Koza Bandai area of Swat Valley in the NWFP on September 3, The News reported. There were also reports about five civilian casualties, including four women, besides injuries to scores of others. Two SF personnel were reportedly killed and four others sustained injuries. SFs launched a ground assault in Koza Bandai, the native village of the Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan, at dawn on September 3 to clear the area of the militants. A Mingora-based military spokesman, Major Nasir Ali, told The News that 25 to 30 militants were killed and 30 to 35 were injured in the attack that was backed by gunship helicopters. He claimed that the militants had been flushed out of the area but "some pockets of resistance were still there," which, he added, "would be mopped up in the next stage of the operation". Giving details, Major Ali said militants had established themselves in the village and made the civilian population hostage. The area, he added, was a stronghold of the miscreants, which served as a launching pad for their terrorist activities in and around the suburbs of Mingora, the district headquarters of Swat. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said the SFs had destroyed 200 houses in the operation at Koza Bandai.

Ten persons, including four militants, were killed and several others injured on September 5 when local people clashed with the Taliban militants in the Mandal Dag area of Matta sub-division in Swat, The News reported. Sources said the local people clashed with the Taliban when the militants besieged the area for picking up a ‘Pir’ (saint) identified as Saifur Rehman. Annoyed with the step, people of the area clashed with the militants. During the fight, six locals and four Taliban militants were killed and several others, including three militants, were injured. In the meantime, residents of the area also blew up an explosive-laden vehicle of the militants. The militants also picked up seven locals and shifted them to an undisclosed location.

US military strikes at Taliban and al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan are risky but necessary and were long overdue, says a Washington Post editorial published on September 14, Dawn reports. "They must continue." The newspaper claimed that for more than six years, the Bush administration relied on Pakistan to combat the militants but it only strengthened the Taliban and al Qaeda networks in FATA. The policy, the Post said, also led to a steady increase in Taliban assaults on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan while US intelligence community believed that al Qaeda was using its bases to prepare for new attacks on Western targets, including the US. "By now it is clear that Pakistani army and security forces lack the capacity to defeat the extremists — and may even support some of the Taliban commanders," the paper claimed, adding, "Pakistan’s army has arranged truces with some of the extremists that don’t preclude them from fighting in Afghanistan."

"He (Rehman) is leading the fight and he is calling for reinforcement from across the Afghan border," said the sources, adding, "He is leading the whole show.
