Security forces (SFs) are reported to have killed at least 41 foreign terrorists, including their Chechen ‘commander’, in a raid carried out by gunship helicopters on their hideout on March 1 at Danday Saidgai village in North Waziristan bordering Afghanistan. Four Pakistani tribesmen and a soldier were also killed and an unspecified number of them were injured in the raid and subsequent exchange of fire between the two sides, according to The News. An unnamed senior military officer said the slain Chechen ‘commander’ was named Asad. The officer denied reports that Tahir Yuldashev, chief of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, was the prime target in the raid. He added the Uzbekistani terrorists normally hide and operate in South Waziristan, while the Chechens had sought refuge in North Waziristan. Military sources said the Chechens were using the residence of a cleric, Maulana Noor Piao Khan, in Danday Saidgai close to the Afghan border as a hideout and training camp. The raid on Danday Saidgai reportedly led to protests in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, and triggered violence. Eyewitnesses said pro-Taliban tribesmen responded to a call for Jihad by Maulana Abdul Khaliq, head of the Gulshan-i-Ilm Madrassa (seminary) in Miranshah, and began firing rockets and R/R guns at the Frontier Corps Fort and other military installations. Military sources said the troops returned fire and used artillery guns and other heavy weapons to fire in the direction from where they were attacked. Homes in Hamzoni, Palangzai, Darpakhel, Saidgai and Miranshah were consequently damaged. The cross-firing also caused injuries to a number of civilians, including at least four women. One woman was reported killed in Palangzai village.

Taliban operatives are reported to have taken over Government buildings in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, occupied the area’s telephone exchange and patrolled the streets. According to Dawn, eyewitnesses and Government officials said that after the March 1 gun-battle between security forces and Taliban remnants, a large number of families started moving to safer places. Sources said that Taliban operatives had taken over the telephone exchange in Miranshah. The exchange had already been shut down by the military to disrupt communication between terrorists. The Taliban also reportedly took over the irrigation department building, snatched Government vehicles and occupied rooftops of buildings near the main market. Political authorities pulled out paramilitary troops from the main bazaar as the Taliban took positions at key points in the town.

More than 100 terrorists were reportedly killed in two separate operations by security forces (SFs) at Miranshah and Mir Ali in North Waziristan on March 4. Three SF personnel died while nine others were wounded in the operation. According to Daily Times, the main army base at Miranshah came under heavy rocket fire from terrorists, who also occupied the main Miranshah Bazaar, various Government offices and the telephone exchange. SFs retaliated with helicopter gun ships and heavy artillery fire, Geo Television reported. It confirmed that at least 85 terrorists had died in the operation. Meanwhile, unidentified men ambushed a SF convoy in Mir Ali, killing two soldiers and injuring seven others. The troops killed 25 terrorists in retaliation, Geo said. There were also unconfirmed reports of deaths of civilians caught in the cross firing. Inter Services Public Relations Director General, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, put the number of casualties in the two operations at 46, but could not confirm the death toll. The encounter reportedly commenced on March 4-afternoon after the main army base was attacked “from all sides”, eyewitnesses and a military official said. “Security forces are retaliating after coming under the miscreants’ fire at the main base in Miranshah from all sides,” the military official said. It was not possible to independently verify the number of deaths due to the disruption of lines of communication in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, according to The News.

At least 19 terrorists are reported to have died in clashes between with the army in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, on March 6. According to The News, US-built Cobra gun-ships opened fire on a hamlet near Miranshah after rockets were fired at army positions, while troops seized control of the main bazaar and key Government buildings. Military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told AFP "As a result of an exchange of fire, some 19 militants including some foreigners were killed." Officials said two local clerics, Maulvi Abdul Khaleq and Maulvi Sadiq Noor, were leading the uprising. "If we kill or capture these two miscreants, we know the resistance will collapse like a pack of cards," a senior Army official told AFP.

As many as 119 militants, including five foreigners, have been killed during the past six days, Qayum added.

According to The News, Pakistan Army artillery shelled Khattay Killay village, 10 kilometers from Miranshah in North Waziristan, on March 10-night and gunship helicopters targeted terrorists’ positions following reports that two of the most wanted clerics, Maulvi Sadiq Noor and Maulvi Abdul Khaliq, and their supporters were hiding there. Military spokesperson, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, claimed 25 terrorists were killed in the attack. North Waziristan political agent, Syed Zaheerul Islam, said a house near the Madrassa (seminary) run by wanted cleric Maulana Sadiq Noor had been targeted by the artillery and Cobra gunship helicopters. "There was information that the miscreants were hiding there. We also received reports about presence of an ammunition dump in the village," he told The News from Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan. "We won’t be able to get more information during the night. But I am sure the miscreants have suffered heavy losses in the attack," he claimed.

Meanwhile, tribal clerics announced the enforcement of Sharia (Islamic law) in South Waziristan on March 10, saying that feuds and tribal enmities would now be resolved through Islamic laws instead of the tribal Jirga (council). Eyewitnesses and tribal elders told Daily Times that the announcement was made during Friday prayer sermons in Wana and other towns of South Waziristan. "We are glad to announce that an Islamic judge will decide cases from now on and not the jirga," a cleric in Wana was quoted as announcing. The announcement was made following letters from local Taliban commanders to all prayer leaders asking them to enforce the Sharia, a tribal cleric said. "We were under great pressure from the commanders to announce the enforcement of Sharia in Waziristan," he added. This will "strengthen the Taliban’s influence in the area", the cleric said.

North Waziristan Political Agent Zaheerul Islam said Afghans had been given deadlines to leave two or three times during 2005 but had not done so. "Now they are not Afghan refugees but foreigners and must leave North Waziristan immediately," he told Reuters. "Severe action will be taken if they don’t do so," he said, without elaborating.

Security forces on March 15 used explosives to destroy a terrorist hideout at Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, according to Daily Times. While an unnamed official identified the building as the Khalifa Madrassa (seminary), the Inter Services Public Relations denied that the building destroyed was a Madrassa, saying it would be more accurate to call it a house since there had been no classes there since October 2005. Most of the students there were reportedly Afghans. The official said it was the third seminary to be destroyed in the last fortnight after intelligence reports indicated that terrorists were hiding out in Madrassas in the area and using them as launching-pads for attacks on Government forces. No one was in the building at the time it was destroyed, he added.

Planes dropped leaflets in both South Waziristan and North Waziristan on March 23 on the occasion of Pakistan Day to urge the tribesmen to beware of foreigners and their local supporters who had allied themselves with the "Yahood Aur Hanood" (Jews and Hindus), according to The News.

The statement said it was a war against foreigners and their local harbourers "who were standing shoulder to shoulder with the Yahood Aur Hanood" and were posing threats to Pakistan’s integrity and causing harm to the tribal society.

The local Taliban executed a 25-year-old man for killing a taxi driver in South Waziristan under Sharia (Islamic law), said residents on March 27. The execution is the first case tried under Sharia in the tribal areas, according to Daily Times.

Earlier, more than 50 families left Khyber Agency on the same day after the Government warned that action against Shakir was imminent.
