Claiming a major breakthrough on the third day of the ongoing operation against the militants and outlaws in Khyber Agency, the political authorities on January 1 indicated at reopening the Pakistan-Afghan Highway by January 3, The News reported. Authorities said 80 per cent of the targets were achieved as several notorious criminals were either arrested or surrendered to the administration. Some 13 houses, used for anti-social activities, were also demolished. The encroachments along the Jamrud Bazaar and the adjoining areas were removed. Sources said 15 more wanted criminals were arrested on January 1, bringing the tally of those arrested during the last three days of the operation to 43. A total of 33 structures, including houses and guest houses, were demolished in the operation. The NATO supplies snatched earlier were also recovered during the operation. The looted items were recovered from the house of Adam Jee in Wazir Dhand area, prompting the troops to demolish the house after retrieving the snatched goods. Briefing the media, Political Agent of the Khyber Agency Tariq Hayat said that on the third day of the operation, militants’ hideouts and criminal dens in Ghundi, Shahkas and Wazir Dhand area were targeted with artillery shells before the troops moved in. He also said that known kidnappers and looters were arrested during the operation and a large quantity of arms and ammunition and looted goods recovered from different places. Tariq reiterated that the operation named ‘Daraghlum’ (Here I come) was not aimed at any single entity or group but against a host of groups that had made the entire region insecure. “Lawlessness in Jamrud Tehsil [revenue division] has direct implication on the law and order situation in Peshawar, which experienced one of its worst periods during the last quarter of the year 2008,” the administrative head of the agency said and added 37 people were kidnapped and 16 vehicles lifted from Jamrud during the last three months. He also informed that during the same period, a total of 100 people were abducted from Peshawar and all the kidnappings had direct links to the tribal territory, where the operation was in progress now. Besides, the area was also used to launch rocket attacks on Peshawar and hundreds of vehicles, including that of the NATO, were targeted.

Seven suspected militants were arrested in a pre-dawn operation in the Bara Qadeem area of Khyber Agency in the FATA on January 21, Dawn reported. According to Reuters, a senior al Qaeda operative alleged to be involved in the 2005 bombings of London transport system was among the seven arrested men.

He said those arrested included four Arabs and three Afghans. An unnamed security official said the arrested militants included a senior al Qaeda operative allegedly wanted in connection with the July 7, 2005, suicide bombings in London.

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.
