The army claimed on September 1 that it had routed Taliban militants in Bajaur, killing 560 Pakistani and foreign fighters and foiling a push to make Bajaur into a militant fortress. Major General Athar Abbas, the chief of ISPR, told a western news agency that 20 SF personnel had died and 30 were missing. "In our view, the back has been broken… Main leaders are on the run and the people of the area are now openly defying whatever the militants had achieved there," he said. He also said many foreigners were reportedly in Bajaur before the operation, but that many had probably fled to Afghanistan or other parts of the NWFP and that the operation had turned up no trace of al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri.

The security forces (SFs) claimed to have killed about 30 militants and wounded 35 others in a ground assault backed by gunship helicopters in the militants-infested Koza Bandai area of Swat Valley in the NWFP on September 3, The News reported. There were also reports about five civilian casualties, including four women, besides injuries to scores of others. Two SF personnel were reportedly killed and four others sustained injuries. SFs launched a ground assault in Koza Bandai, the native village of the Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan, at dawn on September 3 to clear the area of the militants. A Mingora-based military spokesman, Major Nasir Ali, told The News that 25 to 30 militants were killed and 30 to 35 were injured in the attack that was backed by gunship helicopters. He claimed that the militants had been flushed out of the area but "some pockets of resistance were still there," which, he added, "would be mopped up in the next stage of the operation". Giving details, Major Ali said militants had established themselves in the village and made the civilian population hostage. The area, he added, was a stronghold of the miscreants, which served as a launching pad for their terrorist activities in and around the suburbs of Mingora, the district headquarters of Swat. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said the SFs had destroyed 200 houses in the operation at Koza Bandai.

17 militants and nine civilians were killed when security forces, backed by helicopter gunships and artillery, targeted militants’ hideouts in the Koza Bandai area of Swat in the NWFP on September 4, Dawn reported. A military press release said that three key Taliban commanders — Mohammad Younis, Saifur Rehman and Ziaur Rehman — were among the dead. Military spokesman in Swat, Major Nasir Ali, said that 47 militants had been killed in two days of operation in the area. Troops have reportedly taken control of the area and are advancing to other places in the Swat valley. Local people said nine civilians, including four children and a woman, were killed and several others injured when mortar shells hit their houses. An employee of a construction company was killed in Koza Bandai and two people in Mangulpam. Helicopters had reportedly dropped pamphlets in the morning asking people to vacate the area by noon to avoid collateral damage. About 3,000 families left their homes and moved to Bara Bandai, Dheri and Kanju.

Four children were among six civilians killed on September 5-morning in a suspected missile attack from an unmanned United States spy plane on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in North Waziristan, according to Daily Times. “Three missiles were fired from a drone that hit two houses. Four children, a woman and a man have been killed in the attack,” said intelligence officials. The attack occurred at Almakath village in the Gorveek area, 80 kilometers west of Miranshah. The two houses lie at ‘zero point’ on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. A tribesman in Miranshah said the village crisscrossed the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. “Half of the village is in Pakistan and the other half is in Afghanistan,” said Aqleem Khan. The army, however, denied that the strike had been carried out in Pakistan’s territory. “There was no strike on our side of the border. The news is incorrect,” military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP.

The death toll in the suicide bombing in provincial capital Peshawar on September 6 has increased to 39, The News reported. Investigators have revealed that the double cabin pickup used in the attack was the personal car of the top militant commander in Darra Adamkhel that broke through a police cordon in Matani minutes before the blast. “The 22-year-old suicide bomber had packed explosives in the off-white double cabin pickup owned by the Darra Adamkhel-based top militant commander. The bomber was on his way to hit some important target in Peshawar city or cantonment but failed to make his way after Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb intercepted the car,” a senior investigator said. Militants operating in Darra Adamkhel have already claimed the blast. A spokesman for the militants, who identified himself as Mohammad, said the bombing was carried out to avenge the military operations against Taliban.

At least 25 worshippers were killed and 50 others injured in a grenade-and-gun attack inside a mosque in the Maskanai area of lower Dir in NWFP on September 10, according to Daily Times. Reports said that unidentified militants lobbed hand grenades in the Sunni mosque in Banai village – less than three kilometres from the Afghan border – during Taravih prayers and fired at the worshippers. "The attackers first lobbed grenades into the mosque and then opened fire with Kalashnikovs on the worshippers," Bahadur Khan, the village nazim, told Reuters. Local official Mahmood Khan told AFP three grenades were thrown into the mosque and hit the last two rows of the congregation and said the security official said the attack did not appear to be sectarian. "It is a blatant act of terrorism," he added. No group or individual claimed responsibility for the attack, but Khan said last month a meeting of elders in the area had issued a strongly worded statement against the Taliban and had vowed to act against them entering the area.

Afghan Consul-General in Peshawar, Abdul Khaliq Farahi, was abducted on September 22 and his driver was shot dead for resisting the assailants, police officials said, according to Dawn.

Two Chinese engineers abducted by the Taliban appealed for their safe release on September 22, according to Daily Times. In a newly released video by the AfPax Insider news service, the two apparently distraught Chinese engineers appealed to the governments of China and Pakistan to help save their lives. Wearing traditional shalwar qameez and sitting in chairs with their backs towards a whitewashed mud wall, the sobbing men made repeated calls for help. The two-minute video had been recorded inside a room and no other person was visible except the two Chinese. Muffled voices of a girl and a woman could also be heard in the background, denoting that the two hostages were being kept in a house somewhere. The two Chinese had no visible injuries. As reported earlier, the two Chinese telecommunication engineers were abducted on August 29 from the Khaal area of Dir district where they were repairing a telecommunication tower. Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan had claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and said the Taliban would continue targeting government installations and kidnapping people unless the government halted military operations in Swat.
