The government suspended its security operation against suspected militants and criminals in the Khyber Agency for 36 hours to allow Afridi tribesmen to meet Mangal Bagh and conduct peace talks. "The operation has been suspended until Saturday morning on the request of the tribal jirga and we have relaxed the curfew in Bara to facilitate locals," Khyber Agency Chief Administrator Tariq Hayat Khan told Daily Times. He said that Afridi elders had approached him on July 3 and offered to conduct negotiations with Lashkar-e-Islam chief Mangal Bagh to help restore peace in the area. Khan said the government had provided the jirga members with a list of demands for Bagh, adding that these included surrender of all weapons along with a guarantee that Bagh would not challenge the state’s writ. "If our goals can be achieved through peaceful means, we will certainly pursue them. But, rest assured, we will continue the operation as long as our demands are not met," Khan said. He said security forces had destroyed 16 militant compounds during the past six days of the operation, adding that they had also identified 14 other such compounds. He said the remaining centres would also be destroyed if the Jirga failed to convince Bagh to surrender to the government

The offensive in Khyber Agency will continue until the writ of the government is restored in the region, said NWFP Governor Owais Ahmed Ghani said.

He said that a security policy had been devised, but it could not be revealed at the moment. He said protecting people was the government’s responsibility and the government would therefore conduct more such operations, if need be.

The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan has established Sharia courts in the Bajaur Agency of the FATA and a large number of people are using them to get disputes resolved, instead of waiting for action by the tribal administration, Dawn reported. The courts have been functioning in the Sewai area, about 20kms northwest of the agency headquarters of Khar, for a couple of weeks. About two dozen ulema (religious scholars) have been designated as ‘Qazis’. "We have set up the courts in accordance with people’s wishes," said Taliban spokesman Maulvi Umar, adding that people were fed up with the previous legal system. He said that the Qaziswere "competent scholars well versed in Islamic jurisprudence". Umar claimed that people were approaching these courts voluntarily to get their long-standing disputes settled and the Taliban had not forced any litigant to go to the courts.

According to Dawn, the local Taliban and tribal elders decided at a meeting on July 7 to expel Uzbek militants and their local collaborators from the areas of Ahmadzai Wazir tribe in South Waziristan. The meeting in Wana was attended by about 500 elders and chieftans and representatives of the Taliban Shoora(executive council) from North Waziristan. "The grand jirga [council] of the Ahmedzai Wazirs has approved the agreement between [Ahmedzai Wazir chief] Maulvi Nazir and [Utmanzai Wazir chief] Mullah Gul Bahadar, allowing the two leaders to forge a unity against Mehsud," a tribal elder told Daily Times. Witnesses said that supporters of the pro-government militant commander Maulvi Mohammad Nazir detained tribal elder Malik Baa Khan after he opposed the participation of some Taliban in the jirga. Malik Baa was taken to a private Taliban jail and was released after he paid PKR 500,000. The jirga criticised recent attacks on Maulvi Nazir and the assassination of pro-government elders. It alleged that foreign elements, particularly the Uzbeks, were involved in the attacks. It endorsed the merger of the Taliban groups based in North and South Waziristan and backed the new outfit headed by Hafiz Gul Bahadur. It warned that anyone opposing the merger would be fined one million rupees and his house would be demolished. It was decided at the meeting that taxes would be levied on Government contactors and fruit exporters to finance the Taliban’s bill for securing peace in the Wazir-dominated areas.

The Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) threatened on July 8 to carry out suicide attacks in major cities of the country, The News reported. The threat from the militants came after a US unidentified aerial vehicle (UAV) hit yet another town of Bajaur Agency on July 8. “This latest US attack in Khar (Bajaur Agency) by US Predator proved that Pakistan is continuously supporting the US air strikes on its territory. We will avenge the killing of our innocent people by the Pakistani security forces and will launch suicide attacks in important cities of the country,” Maulvi Omar, a TTP spokesman, warned. He said a woman sustained injures and two cattle were killed when a US UAV reportedly fired “Hellfire” missile on a house owned by one local tribesman Subhan Khan in Khar, headquarters of the Bajaur Agency. Omar said they had already suspended the peace talks with the Government after the latter failed to stop action against the Taliban in various parts of the FATA and the settled districts of the NWFP. He said the Government, on the one hand, had been giving an impression to the people that it wanted to restore peace in the country through negotiations and peace agreements with the militants but on the other it was still supporting the American forces in Afghanistan to continue attacks in the tribal areas. “We know very well that Pakistani officials have been providing information to the US forces on the whereabouts of our important people and our centres in the tribal areas. If the US troops target us, we will target the Pakistani soldiers and hit their important installations in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, etc,” said Omar. He added that though the TTP did not claim responsibility for the recent suicide attack in Islamabad, but it was carried out by their like-minded people who were still angry at the military operation against the Lal Masjid and the Jamia Hafsa in which, according to him, hundreds of students were ruthlessly killed. About the Karachi bomb blasts, the TTP spokesman said the attacks were carried out by the Government only to malign the militants and Pakhtuns living in Karachi.

Despite a cease-fire brokered by two senior Afghan Taliban commanders on July 17, fighting between two rival militant groups continued on July 18 in which more than 50 militants were killed and dozens injured in the Mohmand Agency of FATA, The News reported. Two rival militant groups – the BaitullahMehsud-led Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Commander Shah Khalid-led militants which is considered as pro-government — have been fighting for the past three days for the control of the Mohmand Agency. The two groups were running separate training centres and had set up checkpoints on roadsides. After two days of fighting, a two-member jirga (council) comprising two senior Afghan Taliban commanders — Ustad Mohammad Yasir and Maulvi Sadre Azam — mediated between them and brokered a truce on July 17-night. However, according to sources close to the militants, fighting between the well-armed militants of the two groups started again on July 18-morning when militants associated with Shah Khalid reportedly attacked one of Commander Omar Khalid’s senior commanders, Qari Shakil when he entered Khwezo, a town considered to be a stronghold of the Shah Khalid group. Qari Shakil, who hails from Peshawar’s Michni town, was injured in the attack while his vehicle was destroyed. Consequently, heavy fighting broke out between the two sides in which sophisticated weapons were used. Tribal and militant sources said that both the sides suffered heavy losses and so far 50 people, majority of them from Shah Khalid’s group, were confirmed dead and dozens injured.

A missile apparently fired from a Predator drone killed at least six persons on July 28 in a compound in South Waziristan near the Afghan border, Dawn reported. An unnamed security official said the strike might have killed a senior al Qaeda trainer known for his expertise in explosives and chemicals. The official put the death toll at 12. "Our report suggests that the missile strike might have killed Abu Khabab Al Misri, an Egyptian. But it remains unconfirmed," the official said. A resident of Wana said two missiles struck a seminary and an adjoining compound in the Zyara Leetha area of Azam Warsak early in the morning, killing six people and wounding a woman and her two children. A local militant commander, Maulvi Nazir, said the strike killed left seven persons, including the head of a seminary and students. However, military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said "There is a problem at the local level. We have not received a detailed report. No one has been able to reach there and get details of the information. Therefore, I cannot really make a comment". The 55-year-old Midhat Mursi As-Sayid Umar alias Abu Khabab was earlier reported to have been killed in a US missile strike in the Damadola area of Bajaur Agency in the FATA in Jan 2006. However, later reports showed that he was not among those killed. He was a trainer at an al Qaeda facility in Darunta near Jalalabad in Afghanistan in the late 1990s. A graduate in science from an Egyptian university, Abu Khabab was considered to be an expert in conventional explosives and some western media reports said he headed a project named Al Zabadi, or ‘curdled milk’, for making chemical and biological weapons. The US had offered a $5 million reward on information leading to his capture.

The Taliban in the Bajaur Agency of the FATA has split into two factions after infighting between two militant organisations in the Mohmand Agency led to the killing of eight members of one group on July 18, Daily Times reported. Pro-Baitullah Mehsud Taliban leader Umer Khalid killed eight members from the Shah Sahib militant group, including its chief and deputy chief, on July 18. "We, four commanders, are resigning from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) over the killing of mujahideen in Mohmand Agency," Salar Masood, a spokesman for the four commanders, told Daily Times on July 28. "We will form our own group – Tehreek-e-Taliban Al Jihad – to continue jihad against the United States," Masood said on the phone from an undisclosed location in Bajaur. Maulvi Munir, Dr Abdul Wahab and Maulvi Abdul Hameed are the three other commanders who left the TTP. "Innocent mujahideen were killed in Mohmand. This is against shariah. Mujahideen do not kill innocent people," Masood said. He charged the Baitullah Mehsud-led TTP with "deviating" from the real cause of fighting the Americans inside Afghanistan. "We took up the matter with Baitullah Mehsud but he did not take our concern seriously," he claimed.

Senior leaders of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Bajaur Agency on July 29 denied any differences in the Taliban ranks, and said they had no disagreement with TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud and Maulana Faqeer Muhammad. Addressing a press conference, the four senior TTP leaders in Bajaur Agency –Abdul Wahab, Maulvi Abdul Hameed, Commander Hamza and Maulvi Muhammad Munir – said they had no differences with the TTP chief or other leaders and strongly condemned media reports about differences between them. On July 28, media had reported resignations of the four Taliban leaders and differences in the Taliban ranks in Bajaur over infighting between two militant organisations in the adjacent Mohmand Agency, which had killed eight members of one group. "We are part of the TTP. We neither have differences with the TTP nor resigned from it," the leaders said, adding that they had full confidence in the leadership of Mehsud and Faqir Muhammad. The TTP leaders claimed that they would continue ‘jihad’ against the US and the policies of President Musharraf and will take revenge for killing of tribesmen in US attacks.
