The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘deputy chief’ Waliur Rehman said he has sent thousands of fighters to neighbouring Afghanistan to rebuff incoming US troops. Waliur Rehman said the TTP remains committed to battling the Army in South Waziristan, but they are essentially waging a guerrilla war. “Since Obama (President Barack Obama) is also sending additional SFs to Afghanistan, we sent thousands of our men there to fight North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and American SFs,” Rehman said. While the military estimated it had killed around 600 Taliban militants, Rehman claimed that he had lost fewer than 20. He also said his group would stop attacking Pakistan’s SFs if the country would sever its ties with the US. He claimed the Taliban only attacked SFs and did not believe in any strikes on civilian targets.

The year 2009 proved to be another bloody year of the decade for media in Pakistan in which 10 journalists, in 163 cases of direct attacks on media, paid the ultimate price of practicing a difficult trade in the backdrop of rising terrorism and militancy and were killed in the line of duty, according to Dawn. Of these 10 journalists, four were killed in Punjab, three in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and one each in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Balochistan and Islamabad, according to the annual research on the state of media in Pakistan, released on December 30 by Intermedia, a Pakistani media development organisation that focuses on media research, advocacy and training. The total 163 cases included murders, assaults, abductions, explicit threats, censorship cases and attacks on media properties and establishments. Punjab bore the brunt of these attacks with 54 cases and the NWFP a close behind with 52, while Islamabad was the surprise third biggest victim of attacks on media with 28 cases. Sindh recorded 12 attacks, six attacks each were recorded in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and FATA, and three in Balochistan. Ten journalists were kidnapped in 2009, four in NWFP, two in Islamabad and one each in Balochistan, FATA, Punjab and Sindh. The report also documented at least 24 cases of assaults on working journalists across the country, in which 70 journalists were injured — 36 in Punjab, 12 in Islamabad, 10 in the NWFP, seven in Sindh and five in PoK. At least 28 journalists received threats in person or over the phone. Of these, nine journalists were in Islamabad, eight in the NWFP, seven in Sindh, and one in FATA. The Intermedia report also documented at least 35 cases of official gag orders, censorship or restrictions on publication or broadcast in 2009. Of these, the highest number of cases, 23, was in the NWFP, four in Punjab, three in Islamabad and one each in Sindh, Balochistan, FATA and PoK. Ten cases of physical and armed attacks were reported on media property and establishments, exemplified by the suicide attack on the Peshawar Press Club on December 22, 2009. Of these attacks, four were in the NWFP, two each in Fata and Punjab and one each in Islamabad and PoK. “At least 45 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the last five years, several by suspected militants, but this is the first time that suicide squads of terrorists have targeted media persons as a specific, overt target, indicating a dramatic increase in the level of threats facing the media in the country,” Adnan Rehmat, executive director of Intermedia, said.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Major-General Athar Abbas said Security Forces (SFs) had killed some 650 militants in the ongoing operation Rah-e-Nijat (Path to Salvation) in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) in October-December 2009, according to The News. In an interview with Geo News, Major-General Abbas said militants had been flushed out of South Waziristan while their hideouts had also been neutralised. SFs have defeated militants in Malakand and South Waziristan due to professional strategy and public support. The militants are on the run. He rebuffed reports about the presence of Quetta Shura, terming it baseless. He said insurgency had started again in Mohmand and Bajaur Agencies after allied forces removed their Security posts along the border areas in Afghanistan. The military spokesman said the remaining few terrorists were carrying out terrorist activities in the country. “We will overcome them soon,” said Abbas. To a question, he said Pakistan had not accepted any foreign pressure or help for the launch of military offensive in Malakand and South Waziristan.
