Security forces have taken control of the Namal, Shor and Sardan Top areas in the Matta tehsil (administrative division) of Swat district on January 19, reports Daily Times. Militants have vacated the areas of Manja, Totanoo Bandai, Shah Dheri in Kabal tehsil and Puchar, Namal, Sardan Top and Shor in Matta tehsil, which were strongholds of Fazlullah, sources added. They said militants’ bunkers in these areas were empty, and they took their weapons with them as they moved to unknown locations. The troops imposed a curfew during their forward march in the areas from 7pm on January 18-night and no one was allowed to come out of their houses. The security forces, during the operation, destroyed the houses of local militant commanders Sayed Karim, Lajbar Khan, Sahib and Bin Yamin, a close aide of rebel cleric Maulana Fazlullah. During the search operation, the troops also arrested several militants and shifted them to an undisclosed location for interrogation. Sources told Daily Times that the security forces had also recovered a police van belonging to the Matta Police Station.

Around 20 militants were killed by the troops during clashes in the Darra Adam Khel and Kohat areas of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on January 26, according to Daily Times. Gunship helicopters pounded suspected Taliban positions in the mountains near Darra Adam Khel and Kohat district, eyewitnesses and the military spokesman said. Security officials said the militants had taken position at hilltops overlooking Darra and Kohat and were using long-range rockets to target civilians in Kohat city. Meanwhile, Abdullah Halafi, a self-proclaimed spokesman for a Taliban group, threatened the militants would launch attacks on government forces in the Khyber Agency if attacks on their comrades in Darra did not stop. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said that the Kohat Tunnel was in the control of militants. Abbas said security forces were progressing and operation for the control of the tunnel would be launched any time soon. Reports, however, said the tunnel – also known as the Pak-Japan Friendship Tunnel – was only attacked and damaged by militants. The extent of damage to the tunnel was, however, not clear.

According to army sources, clashes were continuing in the Tor Chappar, Tora China, Bostikhel, Sheraki, Kotal hills and Akhorwal areas. Darra Adamkhel administrator Kamran Zeb told Dawn that the top priority of the army was to secure the Friendship Tunnel and the troops would move towards the tunnel once it was cleared. The militants were going to the tunnel in small groups and firing on troops, he said. A jirga (council) and tribal elders continued their efforts to persuade the militants to hand over the ammunition trucks they had seized and vacate the area immediately. “Six attempts have been made through the jirga to broker a peace deal with the militants but they seem to be sticking to their stance. Now the only way is to teach them a lesson and the militants will be wiped out from the area in two to three days. The operation will continue till the entire Darra Adamkhel area is cleared of militants,” Zeb stated.

The tribesmen also said that there was a curfew-like situation in Darra Adam Khel as 80 percent of the population of the semi-tribal valley has fled homes for safer places in Kohat and the provincial capital Peshawar. Taliban had taken control of the guns-manufacturing Darra town, some 40-km south of the provincial metropolis, several months ago. On January 24, they snatched four arms-laden trucks that were en route to South Waziristan to supply arms to the Pakistan Army troops. The incident forced the security forces to launch a massive operation to retrieve the trucks on January 25, which continued till January 28. On January 27, the security forces had recaptured the key road tunnel. Up to 24 militants and eight soldiers were reportedly killed in the clashes on January 27.

19 people were killed and 157 others were injured in countrywide election-related violence on February 18, caretaker Interior Minister Lt-Gen (retd) Hamid Nawaz told Dawn. However, according to independent reports, the number of casualties may be higher. The minister said that nine died in Punjab, seven in Sindh and three in NWFP. He did not give any casualty figures for Balochistan, where four people were reported to have been killed. According to independent reports, the overall death toll in the country was 26. "Despite 19 deaths, the government considers the election quite peaceful with no incident of terrorism in any part of the country… We are happy that neither any incident of terrorism nor any obstacle in the election process was reported in the country," the caretaker minister said. Private TV channels reported that clashes between supporters of different political parties occurred in Khairpur, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Kamoki, Mirpur, Jacobabad, Muzzafargarh, Mandi Bahauddin, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sargodha, Charsadda, Sukkur, Gujar Khan, Shikarpur, Hangu, Gakharmandi, Sialkot, Samandri, Sanghar and Peshawar. Polling is reported to have begun at a slow pace as voters appeared to be wary of violence. However, as the day progressed, the voter turnout improved and according to unconfirmed reports, it is estimated to be 35 percent. Ambassadors of UK, US, Japan, China, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Asian Association of Regional Corporation (SAARC) and European Union Countries visited different polling stations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and expressed their satisfaction over polling process, security arrangements and performance of elections staff. The government has deployed 81,000 troops and nearly 400,000 police personnel to provide security to the more than 64,000 polling stations, a third of which had been declared sensitive. The Chief Election Commissioner Justice (r) Qazi Muhammad Farooq said on February 18-night that the Election Commission had fulfilled its responsibility to hold free, fair and transparent elections, Associated Press of Pakistan reported. "We have not received any complaints so far, but if we receive any, action would be taken," he said.
