Pakistan Army helicopter gun-ships attacked a suspected militant hideout in South Waziristan early on January 16-morning, killing at least 20 militants, according to Dawn. Helicopter gun-ships reportedly targeted a cluster of compounds at Salamt village in the Zamzola area, 30km to the east of Razmak in South Waziristan. Officials said that the compounds situated in a desolate area were completely destroyed, killing most of the people inside. "This used to be an Arab-dominated hideout… But as of now, we don't know whether any of them has been killed," one official said. Another official, citing intelligence reports, said some 25 militants had been killed and bodies of eight of them had been retrieved from underneath the rubble. Of the eight, five were stated to be Afghans and three locals from the Kikari Mehsud tribe inhabiting the Ludda sub-district of South Waziristan.

Nearly 50 people, including 35 foreign militants, have been killed in two days of fighting between the al Qaeda-linked militants and Pakistani tribesmen, Pakistani Government officials said on March 20, reported Reuters. Fighting broke out on March 19 in Shin Warsak village, 7-km west of Wana. "According to our reports 35 Uzbek militants and 12 tribal combatants have been killed," said a senior Government official, who declined to be identified. Among the dead were three children killed by a mortar bomb on their way home from school on March 19, a teacher said. "The children were getting off their school bus and some had started walking home when a mortar bomb hit," said the teacher, Noorzali, adding, some children were wounded. Military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad said the fighting was still going on and up to 35 people had been killed, at least half of them foreign militants and added that security forces were not involved. A battle between foreign militants, most of them Uzbeks, and ethnic Pashtun tribesmen erupted in the remote area near the Afghan border on March 6, when militants tried to kill a pro-Government tribal leader, in which seventeen people, most of them Uzbeks, were killed. It followed Government efforts to convince the tribesmen to help keep order and stop militant raids into Afghanistan. "It's a success of the government tribesmen strategy ... the tribesmen are fed up with them because they and their activities adversely affect their lives and business," Arshad said.

At least 40 persons were killed and an unspecified number of them wounded at Parachinar and other parts of the Kurram tribal agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 7 on the second day of sectarian clashes. Arbab Muhammad Arif, Secretary (Security) for the FATA, told The News that 40 persons were killed and 43 injured in the fighting in Kurram Agency. He said authorities have not kept any count of the number of Sunnis and Shias who have died in the clashes. However, he denied the suggestion that Pakistan Army’s helicopter gun-ships had caused most of the fatalities by firing at combatants from the air. Conceding that the clashes have spread out of the regional headquarters, Parachinar, to other parts of Kurram Agency, he said efforts were being made to control the situation through effective measures. Earlier, Kurram Agency's Political Agent, Sahibzada Anees, said the government could resort to the use of helicopter gun-ships to intercept and attack fighters in the outlying areas of Kurram Agency to prevent the escalation of fighting.

Security force (SF) personnel clashed with Islamist militants at Zakerkhel village in North Waziristan in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on May 22, killing three foreigners and one tribesman, according to Dawn. The gun-battle reportedly occurred when talks between tribal elders and militants hiding in a house in the village failed. According to the deal signed between the government and militants in September 2006, the army has to take the peace committee into confidence before taking action in the area.

Security forces, assisted by helicopter gunships, killed 15 militants in an encounter near the Banda checkpoint in North Waziristan on July 31, according to Dawn. Major General Waheed Arshad, Director-General of the Inter-Services Public Relations, said 18 "miscreants" were killed when about 40 of them tried to attack a military checkpoint near Miranshah, Daily Times reported. Though the military spokesperson denied any casualties among the troops, villagers said some soldiers were killed or injured in the fighting. The clash reportedly occurred when two vehicles were seen moving towards a paramilitary post, some five kilometres south of the Miranshah town. Even as the troops fired warning shots from the Banda post, people in the vehicles fired back at the paramilitary forces and an encounter ensued. The troops later also utilised Cobra helicopters which targeted suspected locations of the militants in the area and the two vehicles. Sources said that the troops had encircled the Banda area and the Miranshah village.

At least 15 people were reported to have died after army’s helicopter gun-ships attacked the Degan village in North Waziristan on August 9-evening following a roadside bomb blast which left four soldiers injured, according to Dawn. Army spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad informed that army helicopters chased the militants – who were carrying rocket launchers and small arms – as they fled after carrying out the bombing into a petrol station and later in their vehicles, according to The News. Helicopters reportedly bombed residential compounds and other infrastructure, destroying a petrol pump and five vehicles. While witnesses claimed that most of the people killed in the air strike were ordinary tribesmen, an unnamed official spokesman insisted that most of those killed were militants. The four soldiers were wounded when a bomb exploded near the Boya checkpoint on the Miranshah-Datakhel road. Residents said a military convoy was on way to Miranshah when one of the vehicles in the convoy struck a bomb near the checkpoint.

Seven soldiers were killed and 18 others sustained injuries on August 24 in North Waziristan in four militant attacks, including two suicide bombings targeting the same Pakistan Army convoy at two different places, according to The News.
