Two militants were killed and several others sustained injuries as security forces and the local Taliban militants traded fire near Sarbanda and Shawar valley of Matta division in the Swat district on July 21, Dawn reported. According to military sources, Taliban militants attacked a bunker of the security forces with mortars and heavy guns at 4pm (PST). In retaliation, the troops targeted the militants’ hideouts with heavy artillery and consequently, two militants were confirmed dead and several others feared dead or wounded. However, the Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed that only two children were injured as an artillery shell hit a house in the area and not a single militant was killed. He said the Taliban reserved the right to retaliate in self-defence wherever and whenever attacked by the security forces.

Eleven militants and two security force (SF) personnel, including a Pakistan Army captain, were killed during day-long clashes between the SFs and the Maulana Fazlullah-led militants in the Swat Valley of NWFP on July 29, The News reported. The militants also abducted 25 SF personnel after taking over a security post in the Dewlai area which, the officials claimed, was recaptured later in the day. A total of 19 people, including six women, sustained injuries during the clashes. Sources said some 500 militants laid siege to the Dewlai police post and after SF surrendered they were subsequently driven away to an unknown location. An ISPR spokesman in a statement confirmed the abduction of 25 SF personnel. The militants briefly occupied the police post before being driven out by the troops that clamped a curfew after establishing their control over the town. The Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) spokesman in Swat, Muslim Khan, confirmed the kidnapping and said they would only be released after complete withdrawal of the SFs from Swat.

48 militants, including a commander, and five soldiers were killed and an unspecified number of people were injured as fierce clashes continued in the Swat Valley of the NWFP for the second consecutive day on July 30, The News reported. The fighting erupted on July 29 after the militants attacked a security post in their stronghold in the Matta sub-division and took about 25 security force (SF) personnel hostage. After the overnight targeting of various militants’ positions, the SFs, backed by gunship helicopters, carried out an operation and shelled suspected militant positions in several parts of the valley, including Peuchar, Namal, Ronial, Sarbanda and Chuprial that left 48 persons dead and as many injured. The Taliban militants also claimed killing 25 SF personnel, but the claim could not be confirmed independently. A military spokesman said in the daylong clashes with the militants, one officer, a junior officer and three soldiers were killed. The two sides clashed in the Sijbanr area of Matta in which, according to the military spokesman, approximately 25 militants were killed. In the Sarbanda area of Matta, hundreds of militants attacked the troops and claimed killing 30 SF personnel. The claim was rejected by the military, which said that only two officers and three soldiers were killed in the attack. Further, SFs also killed 12 militants and injured several others when they attacked the militants, who had laid siege to the Matta police station. The militants targeted the Wenai check-post with rockets and one militant was killed when the troops retaliated. Backed by gunship helicopters, the SFs also attacked suspected positions of the militants in the mountainous area of Peuchar, killing ‘commander’ Maulvi Hussain Ali alias Tor Mulla and 10 others. The attack also left six militants, including commander Nisar, injured. In the Jura area of Matta, shelling by the Army gunship helicopters injured 13 people. In the Shangwatai area of Matta, two persons were killed as the peach orchard, they were working in, was targeted by military gunship helicopters. In addition, approximately 24 mortar shells landed in Nihag Darra area on the Swat-Dir border injuring two persons. The militants also blew up a Government hotel in Malam Jabba, which they had torched earlier, and an Army rest house in the Charbagh sub-division. They also blew up a Government girls’ school in Gulibagh and bridges in the Gurra, Ronial and other areas of Matta. The local military officials said curfew across the Swat Valley would remain in place till further notice. The militants also blocked roads in Kabal sub-division, Chota Kalam, Ningwalai and other mountainous areas with huge boulders and tree trunks suspending traffic on the Matta-Mingora road. Muslim Khan, spokesman for the local Taliban, told Associated Press that only five militants had been killed in the clashes and claimed that they had killed more than 30 soldiers. "The morale of our Taliban is high and security forces are retreating in several areas," he claimed. He said the militants were fighting in self-defence and blamed the Government for "not honouring" the May 2008 peace agreement. "If the Government doesn’t announce a formal end to this deal, neither will we," Khan said. Talks, for the moment, were out of question, he added.
