US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on January 16 defended the tough US tactics to root out Al Qaeda terrorists on Pakistan’s border after an air strike on a village sparked a wave of protests. While Rice did not comment on the reported deaths of 18 villagers in a raid at Bajaur Agency said to target Osama bin Laden’s deputy Ayman Al Zawahri, she added, "We’ll continue to work with the Pakistanis and we’ll try to address their concerns," according to Daily Times. Speaking to reporters en route to Liberia for the inauguration of president-elect Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Rice made no apologies for US actions against suspected Al Qaeda forces near the border with Afghanistan. "It’s obviously difficult at this time for the Pakistani government… But I think I would just say, to both the Pakistani government and the Pakistani people, we’re allies in the war on terror," she said.

President Pervez Musharraf said on January 24 that Al Qaeda fighters were probably killed in a suspected Central Intelligence Agency air strike that killed 18 civilians at Damadola village in the Bajaur Agency on January 13, according to Daily Times. "Now that we’ve started investigating the reality on the ground, yes, we have found that there are foreigners there. That is for sure," Musharraf said in response to a question at the Oslo Nobel Institute following his lecture on ‘Pakistan’s Role for Peace and Development in the Region and Beyond.’ "There is indication that there were some people, also Al Qaeda people, who have gotten killed. Now we need to ascertain that. I’m not 100 percent sure of that," he added. The president said Pakistan contacted the United States after the air strike on Damadola. "Yes, indeed, they do assure that they will not act against Pakistan’s interest," he said, without giving details.

"We have imposed an immediate curfew in the area that would be relaxed between 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm so the people could do their important business," Additional FATA Secretary, Sikander Qayum, informed at a press briefing in Peshawar. He claimed the situation was under control in North Waziristan and terrorists have been forced to come down from buildings they had captured a day before. As many as 119 militants, including five foreigners, have been killed during the past six days, Qayum added.

Meanwhile, tribal clerics announced the enforcement of Sharia (Islamic law) in South Waziristan on March 10, saying that feuds and tribal enmities would now be resolved through Islamic laws instead of the tribal Jirga (council). Eyewitnesses and tribal elders told Daily Times that the announcement was made during Friday prayer sermons in Wana and other towns of South Waziristan. "We are glad to announce that an Islamic judge will decide cases from now on and not the jirga," a cleric in Wana was quoted as announcing. The announcement was made following letters from local Taliban commanders to all prayer leaders asking them to enforce the Sharia, a tribal cleric said. "We were under great pressure from the commanders to announce the enforcement of Sharia in Waziristan," he added. This will "strengthen the Taliban’s influence in the area", the cleric said.

Sixteen terrorists were killed and 19 arrested after security forces (SFs) retaliated to two attacks at two sites in North Waziristan on April 5. "Four troops were killed and eight injured in the attacks," Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, the Inter Services Public Relations Director General, told Daily Times. The terrorists first attacked a SF check-post in Dattakhel and another at Mana in the heavily forested Shawal region. The army reportedly used ground troops, heavy guns, artillery and gunship helicopters to comb the Mana area where the troops recovered six bodies of the slain terrorists from a compound. A spokesperson for the pro-Taliban operatives in North Waziristan, Tariq Jameel, confirmed attacks on the SFs but denied "any loss of militants". He said the attacks were "revenge" against the killing of two militants in Mir Ali town on April 3.

Briefing the cabinet on the law and order situation in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao told the cabinet that the presence of the Taliban in FATA was a threat to national security and Pakistan’s economic development. "Religious extremism, militancy and terrorism are continuously undermining Pakistan’s image in the international community" he was quoted as saying. He said that the ‘Talibanisation’ of Waziristan was damaging other parts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and that the local administration had been limited to their houses and offices. "The Taliban’s sphere of influence has expanded to DI Khan, Tank and the Khyber Agency, where clerks of the area have started to join them. There has been a sharp increase in attacks on heavily-defended military targets in these areas as well," Sherpao was quoted as saying.

The Political administration in North Waziristan detained 35 tribesmen in Miranshah under "territorial responsibility" clause of the Frontier Crimes Regulations and imposed a Rupees 10.13 million fine on three major tribes on April 21. North Waziristan Chief Administrator Zaheerul Islam told Daily Times that the detained tribesmen would remain in jail as long as the tribes did not hand over militants involved in the April 20-attack on a paramilitary convoy killing around eight soldiers and wounding 22 others near Razmak. He said that three major tribes – Darpakhel, Burakhel and Miranshah Kalay – were collectively fined Rs 10.13 million for failing to meet territorial responsibility by not defending Miranshah against militants’ attacks.

The Commander of 11 Corps, Lt. Gen Mohammed Hamid Khan, claimed that the Pakistan Army has put militants in Waziristan “on the defensive” and the situation in the Waziristan tribal areas has “cooled down tremendously”. Gen Hamid Khan told Washington Post in Peshawar that the army had shifted from mass raids to “snap operations” based on intelligence, and now controls key towns once in the hands of militants. He said, “In my view, stability for Afghanistan is the best thing for Pakistan. All the turmoil there affects us; we get the refugees, the criminals, the drugs, the weapons. The miscreants have much safer sanctuaries on that side than on ours. If we want strategic depth, better we should have good relations than instability.” However, Afrasiab Khattak of the Awami National Party reportedly said, “North and South Waziristan are in the grip of Talibanisation” and all of the seven federally administered tribal agencies “can come under its grip, too. The army has put up an honest fight, but it has failed, and the government has failed. The traditional system has been made ineffective, and the Taliban have moved into the vacuum.”

Militants in the North Waziristan have extended the cease-fire by another 15 days as Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has joined efforts to help clear some obstacles to an agreement for restoring peace in the tribal region, according to Dawn. “We are almost there. Everything has been decided. The story is almost finished but the government is a bit slow in responding to certain things,” Abdullah Farhad, militants’ chief spokesman told Dawn on phone from an undisclosed location. “We are satisfied with our talks so far but the government is a bit slow and we feel that if it wants then the whole matter (of the agreement) can be wrapped up very soon,” Farhad said. Sources said that two of the three issues that blocked the peace agreement had been taken care of. They are: release of about a dozen militants and return of the seized weaponry. Sources added that the Government had agreed to release 10 more militants, a fact acknowledged by Farhad. However, the main issue that remained to be worked out was withdrawal of military from the North Waziristan, one of the key militants’ demands. Farhad disclosed that an inter-tribal Jirga formed by the Government to negotiate peace with the militants met their Shura (council) in Khate Kallay near Miranshah, the regional headquarters of North Waziristan, on August 25.

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.

Ahle Tashai, a Shia organisation, said on October 20 that Taliban cadres from Afghanistan and Arab nationals were “involved” in the recent sectarian clashes between Shias and Sunnis over a disputed shrine in the Orakzai Agency, according to Daily Times. Around 50 people were killed in violence before a ceasefire could be brokered between the two sides. “We (Shias) have proof that foreign Taliban and Arabs fighters joined the local Taliban against Shias in the dispute over the shrine of Mir Anwar Shah in Kalaya tehsil,” Syed Hamayun Shah and Rafique Hussain, members of Ahle Tashai, told a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club. “We noticed Arab nationals and foreign Taliban at a nearby madrassa of Sunnis,” they said, and demanded that the federal Government take action against foreign militants “who compelled the local Taliban to violate a peace accord between the two sects, and disrupted the agency’s peace”.
