Seven suspected militants reportedly belonging to the Punjab province were killed and several others sustained injuries when three US spy planes fired missiles at two vehicles and a house at Karikot, Azam Warsak and Dhog villages of South Waziristan Agency (SWA) on the morning of December 22. Officials and tribal sources told The News from Wana, headquarters of SWA, that the CIA-operated spy planes fired three missiles, two at vehicles parked at Karikot and Azam Warsak villages, and another at a house, which did not explode. They said the Maulana Nazeer-led Ahmadzai Wazir and Punjabi Taliban had installed heavy weapons on both the vehicles from which they fired at the drones in the morning. Sources close to the militants said three militants hailing from Punjab were killed at Karikot village where the drone fired a Hellfire missile at a double-cabin pick-truck parked near the village.

Pakistan on December 30 suspended supplies to more than 65,000 NATO and United States troops in Afghanistan when Security Forces imposed curfew in and around Jamrud tehsil (revenue division) of Khyber Agency to initiate a military operation against the Taliban, Daily Times reported. Two militants were among five people killed on December 30 in the joint operation by military and paramilitary forces. "We have launched crackdown against people creating disturbances, and army, paramilitary and levy force is jointly conducting the operation," Khyber Chief Administrator Tariq Hayat told reporters in Peshawar. Hayat also said the operation was targeting six Taliban-linked organizations. "This operation will continue as long as all targets are achieved," he stated. According to him, the operation was aimed at putting a stop to both attacks on NATO supply vehicles and a spate of kidnappings for ransom in the FATA, where the Taliban and al Qaeda are active. Troops had already seized a large quantity of arms and ammunition in a raid on a warehouse in Jamrud, Hayat said, adding that a complete curfew had been imposed on the area, with paramilitary troops patrolling the streets. The early-dawn operation followed recent Taliban activities, which attempted to cut off supply lines to international forces in Afghanistan and threatened Peshawar’s security. "Helicopter gunships pounded suspected hideouts of the Taliban and their local facilitators while ground forces with tanks and heavy artillery provided backup," residents of Jamrud told Daily Times. Troops shelled Taliban strongholds in the Ghundi, Sakhipul, Tedi bazaar, Shah Zaman Kalay and Ghuriza areas of Jamrud. "Five people were killed," political administration officials said, but did not provide details. Local residents said three civilians, including a child, were killed in an area close to Tedi bazaar and Ghuriza by the shelling. Local residents said the militants put up little resistance to the operation. "There was some resistance by members of an organisation, but there was no resistance at all by the militants who appear to have left the area much earlier than the operation started," the residents said. Reuters reported NATO spokesman in Kabul Captain Mark Windsor as saying that the supply blockade "will not have a major impact, for it is temporary and we have stocks and supplies. Overall, it will be a good thing."

Security Forces (SFs) on December 31 demolished dozens of houses and arrested scores of people on the second day of the military operation in Khyber Agency's Jamrud sub division, Dawn reported. Two army gunship helicopters reportedly targeted militant hideouts and houses of Kukikhel elders in Ghundi locality the entire day. Tanks and artillery also targeted positions of suspected militant commanders in the area. The Peshawar-Torkhum highway and Torkhum border also remained closed for the second consecutive day. The closure of Torkhum border has is reported to have affected supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan. Briefing newsmen at the Khyber House about the operation called ‘Here I Come’, Political Agent of Khyber Agency, Tariq Hayat Khan, claimed the SFs had so far demolished at least 19 houses of militant commanders and Kukikhel elders in the last two days. Three civilians were killed on December 31 when their home was hit by 'mistake,' he said. He also said action against the Kukikhel tribe had been initiated under the Collective Territorial Responsibility clause of the Frontier Crimes Regulation, adding that the tribe had failed to flush out the criminals from their area and allegedly provided shelter to militants. SFs have demolished the houses of Malak Attaullah Kukikhel and Senator Nasar Khan in Ghundi and Shah Kas localities respectively. Three family members of Malak Attaullah were among the 116 persons arrested during the operation. Tariq Hayat said that a huge quantity of arms and ammunition had also been recovered from the house of a militant commander Iftekhar in Ghundi area. However, the suspect commander could not be arrested during the operation.
