At least 40 Taliban militants were killed and an unspecified number of them wounded in Mohmand Agency on January 11 as paramilitary troops repulsed a pre-dawn attack by about 600 militants coming from the Afghan border, Daily Times reported. The attackers – mostly foreigners, and supported by local Taliban – attacked Frontier Corps (FC) positions in Mamad Gatt at about 2am (PST). “Frontier Corps troops repulsed a massive attack by militants on one of its locations in the area,” the military said in a statement, adding that “severe fighting continued through the night”. Six soldiers were also killed and seven sustained injuries in the fighting. The Taliban fired mortars and rockets at an FC camp and subsequently used small arms to fire on a nearby checkpoint, an unnamed military official told AP. The attackers were eventually driven off, but scattered skirmishes continued, he said. Most of the attackers fled under heavy military fire, a security official told the AFP. Some of the Taliban militants surrendered, a military spokesman claimed later, without giving a specific figure. According to sources, militants from Waziristan also took part in the attack, Dawn reported. Officials said it was one of the biggest militant attacks since the Security Forces launched an operation in the region. Sources also said that five soldiers were missing, but an official in Peshawar, the NWFP capital, denied the report. The building of a school near the targeted FC location was also reportedly damaged.

The ISPR statement said intense fighting took place in Tor Ghundai on October 22, which resulted in the killing of 13 militants while the rest fled into the nearby mountains. The troops secured the Tor Ghundai village after the battle. The statement said SFs were in the process of securing Shishamwam where efforts were on to clear the caves.

The Security Forces (SFs) were only a few kilometres from Srarogha, the stronghold of the Hakeemullah Mehsud-led Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), on the 12th day of the Operation Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency on October 28, The News reported. Sources said some militants were fleeing to North Waziristan from the Srarogha side and via the Shawal Road from Makeen due to increased pressure from the advancing troops. Local sources said the troops were heading for Srarogha after getting full control of Kotkai and securing the surrounding areas and ridges. "The next important point is Srarogha, where a tough battle is expected once the troops get close," said a political administration official. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said 25 militants were killed and a huge cache of arms and ammunition were recovered. Five soldiers sustained injuries in the clashes and in attacks from the militants in different areas, it added. The ISPR said SFs made considerable progress on the Kotkai-Srarogha axis and secured the area overlooking the TTP stronghold of Srarogha. Eight militants were killed and three soldiers were wounded in incidents in that area. The statement also said 25 Taliban training centres and nine caves were destroyed in Kotkai while three more training centres were overrun in the Murghaband area. According to tribesmen, the Kaniguram village on the Shakai-Kaniguram axis is a strong base of militants, where mostly Uzbeks were based. The troops secured an important area of Karwan Manza, located two kilometres east of Kaniguram. SFs also continued a search for militants and arms in Nawazkot, a strategic village located on the Razmak-Makeen axis.Local sources said that the SFs would be able to capture the high points of Asman Manza after getting control of Kaniguram, which is currently under a siege. Control over Asman Manza and Karwan Manza would enable the troops to advance on Kokatkhel, Karama, Delay, Mashta, Badar and other areas of Ladha sub-division and Sarwekai, the sources said. They added that six militants were killed and four injured in a clash with the SFs in the Sherkot area. Fighter planes bombed TTP hideouts in Ladha, Maidan, Patwelai and other areas, but there were no reports about casualties. The ISPR chief, Major General Athar Abbas, while addressing a press conference in the federal capital Islamabad, said Uzbek fighters had made Mehsud and other tribes hostage, adding that Mehsud tribes were not linked with these foreigners. "As soon as the area is cleansed from terrorists, including foreigners, the Mehsud tribesmen will return to their area to resume their own system," he said. Abbas said it was confirmed, through interceptions, that TTP ‘commander’ Waliur Rehman was present in the area but nothing could be said about Hakeemullah Mehsud. He rejected the impression that the TTP had made a tactical withdrawal from Kotkai to launch another assault, saying that the Taliban leadership was on the run.
