According to The News, the unwritten ceasefire between the military and terrorists in South Waziristan was broken on October 7 on the fourth day of its enforcement when the two sides clashed near Kaniguram and Karwan Manza in the Mahsud tribal territory. The military used mortar, artillery and light machineguns to target terrorist positions while the latter fired missiles and rockets at the troops. However, loss of life, if any, was not known till last reports came in. There were also reports that clashes had occurred in areas beyond Karwan Manza and up to Karama. Under the terms of the 10-day ceasefire brokered on October 3 by a 21-member reconciliation committee comprising tribal elders and the Ulema (religious scholars) from the Mahsud tribe, the two sides had pledged not to launch new attacks and remain at previously held positions.

The Government on October 11 offered to consider 'genuine' demands of terrorists in South Waziristan if they released the two Chinese engineers they had abducted on October 9. According to Dawn, the offer was made as terrorists set two deadlines to execute the hostages if the Government did not accept their demands. Both the deadlines, however, passed without any action. Head of security for tribal areas, Brig Mehmood Shah, told a press briefing that the Government was prepared to consider ‘genuine’ demands in return for the release of the two hostages. Brig. Shah stated that the abductors had not made any demands thus far. However, Governor of the North West Frontier Province, Lt-Gen (retd) Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, however, told PTV that the terrorists had made certain demands which were not acceptable.
