14 persons were killed and 26 others injured in clashes between rival groups in Kurram Agency in the night of July 1. Later, the elders of Upper and Lower Kurram succeeded in brokering a cease-fire after hectic efforts, sources said. Similarly, the rival tribes — Mastokhel, Hamzakhel, Ghundikhel, Alizai, and Shia Bangash of the Turi tribe and Parachamkani Masozai, Ali Sherzai, Zehmasht, Mangal and Sunni Bangash — were still at war with one another in Balishkhel, Sangeena, Khar Killay, Sadda city, Mingak, Makhzai and Tangai areas of Lower Kurram.

At least 28 militants, including an unidentified commander, were killed when gunship helicopters targeted the hideouts of the banned Lashkar-e-Islam in the Tirah Valley of Khyber Agency on July 1, The News reported. Sources said that three gunship helicopters targeted the hideouts of the Mangal Bagh-led group in Sandapal and Akakhel areas of Tirah Valley. An official of the Frontier Corps (FC), Major Fazal, claimed that 28 militants were killed in the action and among them was a commander. However, talking to The News from an undisclosed location, Lashkar-e-Islam spokesman Zar Khan denied any losses to his group. Tribal sources said the murder of Malik Guli Shah, a pro-government tribal elder in Jamrud, Khyber Agency, on July 1 was the immediate reason for the military action. He added that the political authorities also arrested five militants allegedly involved in the killing of Guli Shah. Three of the arrested militants belonged to the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan and the remaining two hailed from the Kukikhel tribe in Khyber Agency, the sources added. Suspected Taliban militants had killed a pro-government tribal leader, his driver and two gunmen on July 1 while they were on their way to Peshawar, the NWFP capital, Daily Times reported. The vehicle of Malik Guli Shah was ambushed on the main highway near Tedi Bazaar in Jamrud. The driver and one of the gunmen were shot and killed immediately, while Guli Shah and the other gunman died at a Peshawar hospital.

Militancy in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has cost Pakistan around $2,146 million while the fighting has so far killed over 3,000 civilians, a Government report said on July 1, Daily Times reported. The report – “Cost of Conflict in FATA” – prepared by the Planning and Development Wing of the FATA Secretariat said the social cost of the militancy was far greater than the cost of infrastructure, economic and the subsequent environmental loss. However, it said the cost of the military operation “is beyond the scope of this report and would be worked out separately by the concerned agencies”. The report put the social cost of the conflict at $1,109 million, the cost to security and internal displacement at $572 million, the environmental cost at $188 million, the economic cost at $119 million and infrastructure losses at $103 million. “Pakistan is suffering a series of overlapping crises due to the conflict in FATA... and is need of immediate humanitarian assistance,” the report said.

The Pakistan Army on July 1 ruled out launching a military operation against the Taliban in North Waziristan and pledged to honour the February 17, 2008 peace accord signed with the tribes despite the unprovoked attacks against its troops, The News reported. However, violence continued in the area as three persons, including two women and a child, were killed and six others sustained injuries when military helicopters targeted Madakhel village in the morning of July 1. The bombing was reportedly in retaliation for the recent attack by the militants on a military convoy in which 30 soldiers were killed and 35 injured. Six other villagers, including four women and two children, sustained serious injuries in the shelling by helicopters. Amidst apprehension about an imminent military operation in North Waziristan, the Pakistan Army reportedly dropped leaflets written in Pashto and Urdu from helicopters to assure the tribesmen that it had no intention of launching action in the agency. The leaflets pointed out that some ‘miscreants’ were trying their best to destroy peace and damage ties between the Government and Utmanzai Wazir tribes.

A tribal Lashkar (militia) attacked Taliban hideouts in the Kurram Agency on July 2, killing 28 militants and suffering seven fatalities themselves, and the intensifying battles prompted them to ask for Army troops to help, a local lawmaker said, The News reported. The fighting in the remote Kurram region was the latest in two weeks of battles between militants and tribesmen there that have killed 141 people, including more than 100 militants, two Government officials said. Their information could not, however, be independently verified. Sajid Hussain Turi, a lawmaker from Kurram, said the militants were moving into Kurram from the Swat Valley, where the military is undertaking an offensive to neutralize them. He said hundreds of tribesmen took part in the attack early on July 1, triggering a gun battle that killed 28 militants and seven tribal fighters. “Kurram is an important place because the Taliban can cross the Afghan border from here easily,” Turi said, adding that “The Lashkar is facing these armed Taliban, but we request that the government send troops to Kurram to fight the Taliban as quickly as possible.”

After the Hafiz Gul Bahadur-led militants in North Waziristan, another pro-government militant commander, Mulla Nazeer, also scrapped his peace deal with the Government in South Waziristan Agency on July 2. A senior associate of Mulla Nazeer, Saada Janan, called The News from Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan, and claimed their Shura or council unanimously decided to scrap the peace accord with the Government to protest the frequent US drone attacks in their territory. The political administration of South Waziristan, however, claimed that Mulla Nazeer has revived his peace accord with the Government by sending 120-member jirga of Ahmadzai Wazir elders to negotiate with senior Government officials in Wana. The elders said Mulla Nazeer had given them authority to hold talks with the Government for restoration of peace in the region. However, Nazeer’s associate Sadda Janan said they have nothing to do with a meeting of tribal jirga and political authorities. He said they had already directed their fighters to attack Government installations and fight against the Security Forces. Asked about a similar stance already taken by Taliban commander in North Waziristan, Hafiz Gul Bahadur over US drone attacks, where drones did not fire missiles during the past two months, Saada Janan opined that all the three Taliban commanders - Baitullah Mehsud, Mulla Nazeer and Hafiz Gul Bahadur - in February 2009 had formed the Shura Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen or council of holly warriors, in which he claimed, all of them promised to fight alongside if anyone of them was attacked. Mulla Nazeer and his Ahmadzai Wazir militants had played decisive role in the eviction of Uzbek nationals from Wana, Azam Warsak and Shakai areas when the Government launched a military operation against them in 2007.

13 persons were killed and seven others sustained injuries in a US drone attack in South Waziristan Agency, while eight persons died when fighter planes targeted a hotel in North Waziristan Agency on July 3, The News reported. Tribal sources said a US drone fired three missiles at the office of Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud in Serwakai sub-division at 9 am, killing 13 persons present in the office and injuring seven others. It was reported that Mufti Noor Wali had left the office 15 minutes prior to the attack to attend a jirga (council of elders). The militants surrounded the area after the attack and nobody was reportedly allowed to approach the site. Another drone attack was carried out in the Mantoi area of Ladha sub-division, where three missiles were fired at a madrassa (seminary), completely destroying the building. However, no loss of life was reported in the attack. An official of the political administration confirmed the drone strikes and added that authorities were trying to ascertain the casualties. In addition, an AP report stated that US missiles struck a training facility operated by Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud and a militant communication centre in South Waziristan Agency on July 3, killing 17 people and injuring 27 others. In one attack, two missiles struck an abandoned seminary in Mantoi that was being used by the militants belonging to the Mehsud’s group for training, officials said. In another strike, a missile hit a militant communications centre in the nearby village of Kokat Khel. In total, 17 people were killed and 27 others were injured, they said. However, Maulvi Noor Syed, an aide to Mehsud, told The Associated Press that three Taliban militants died in the strikes. “We lost only three Mujahideen in today’s American missile attack,” Syed said, adding “These attacks cannot cause any damage to us.”

Fighter planes and gunship helicopters on July 4 heavily targeted suspected positions of militants in the Taliban-controlled Orakzai Agency in the FATA, killing 26 militants a day after a military helicopter crashed in the area, The News reported. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas confirmed the bombing and said the action was taken as a reaction to the attack of militants on Security Forces (SFs) and a rescue team on July 3. He said the militants opened fire on the SF personnel and rescue team when they went there to retrieve bodies of the soldiers killed in the helicopter crash. The military spokesman insisted that only 26 soldiers died in the crash. Tribal sources said six gunship helicopters heavily bombed various parts of Ferozkhel area in lower Orakzai soon after the helicopter crash. In the morning of July 4, the sources said two warplanes and six gunship helicopters resumed bombing of suspected hideouts of the militants at the hilltops of Chappar and Ferozkhel, located between lower Orakzai and Khyber Agency. According to sources, the aircraft and helicopters attacked the hideouts of commander Tariq group of Darra and commander Nazar Afridi group of Khyber Agency in Chapper and Ferozkhel (Sam Ghar) areas of the Orakzai Agency, killing 26 militants and injuring several others.

48 militants were killed and several others injured in two separate attacks by US drones in the South Waziristan Agency on July 8, The News reported. However, some reports quoting officials of law-enforcement agencies and political administration put the death toll in the two attacks at 58. According to sources, besides the tribal militants, the dead also included four Arabs and seven Uzbeks. “Almost 90 per cent of the militants traveling in the convoy were killed in the drone attack,” said an unnamed security official. He said the militants in the Mehsud-inhabited areas of South Waziristan had been reduced to their hideouts and caves in the mountains due to continuous flights of the US drones and frequent attacks on their locations. There are also reports that senior militant commanders, including their leader Baitullah Mehsud, have fled the tribal region due to continuous flights of the US drones. Sources close to the militants said a convoy of pick-ups was carrying militants from Ladha to Srarogha for a meeting of militant commanders when it was attacked. They said three drones were flying over the region during the attack. The drones reportedly fired seven missiles and destroyed all the five vehicles on the spot, killing at least 40 militants. Earlier, sources from South Waziristan said eight militants were killed and 12 others injured in the first drone attack at a training camp of the militants at Karwan Manza village of Ladha Subdivision. They said two US drones were seen flying over the area during the attack. The sources said the building was being used for training the newly-recruited militants. Militant sources told The News that 150-200 recruits used to gather at the camp everyday for physical training and use of sophisticated weapons. Senior commander of the Baitullah Mehsud group, Noor Wali Mehsud, was reportedly running the camp. He, however, remained safe. The drones fired six missiles at the camp that razed it to the ground. The Taliban while confirming the drone attack at the training camp, however, denied losses to their men.

Three Taliban groups in South Waziristan Agency have formed a new anti-Baitullah Mehsud alliance, with Ikhlas Khan alias Waziristan Baba as its chief, according to Daily Times. A private TV channel reported on July 22 that the Turkistan Bathni, Haji Tehsil Khan Wazir and Ikhlas Khan Mehsud factions have named the alliance Abdullah Mehsud group. The new group has reportedly already established offices in Gomal, Umar Adda, Jandola, Pang, and Sheikh Autar areas of South Waziristan. 42-year old Waziristan Baba believes that Baitullah Mehsud was behind the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. He said he would avenge the killings of innocent people who fell victim to attacks launched by Baitullah. “Those who destroy hospitals and schools and kill our brothers and sisters are not our well-wishers,” he said. The alliance comes after Baitullah assassinated archrival Qari Zainuddin – who was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards.
