At least 40 militants were killed as Security Forces (SFs) launched a massive operation in the Bara sub-division of Khyber Agency on September 1, The News reported. The operation, codenamed Bia Daraghlam (here I come again) was launched in the aftermath of a spate of beheading in the region, sources said. Locals said nearly 35 beheaded bodies were recovered from different areas of Bara over the past one month. Briefing journalists about the operation, sector commander of the SFs, Brigadier Faiz, and Political Agent of the Khyber Agency Tariq Hayat Khan said 40 militants had been killed and 43 were arrested. The arrested militants were produced before the media along with the arms seized during search operations. The two officials said four militant hideouts were destroyed during the operation. They also said the ground forces were supported by military helicopters that targeted the hideouts of militants. The officials said the operation was not against a particular group or individual, but to purge the area of the miscreants. Locals said the banned Lashkar-e-Islam activists did not offer any resistance to the operation which was launched in the morning. They had reportedly already vacated their areas to take refuge in the nearby mountains. Sources said the Frontier Corps (FC) and Army troops were taking part in the operation and reported to have captured all important places of militants around 3am.

Two of the highest-ranking Taliban leaders, Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan, were arrested in a military operation, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said on September 11. “We have captured them,” he told through telephone from Islamabad. They were arrested along with three other Taliban commanders, he added. Both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan carried head money of PKR 10 million each, with Muslim Khan being second on the most-wanted list behind Fazlullah, and Mehmood at number four. The other three captured leaders were Fazle Ghaffar, Abdul Rehman and Sartaj, a military statement said. The report adds that the arrest confirmation followed a media report claiming the military had detained the Taliban leaders after “inviting” them to talks. “This is not correct ... we have not held talks with them,” Abbas said. “We have already declared that no talks will be held with any terrorist, if they want to surrender, they should lay down their arms and hand themselves to civil administration or law enforcement agencies,” he added. A source close to the Taliban at Mingora in Swat said the arrests could help the Army reach Fazlullah as both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan were among key Taliban leaders with “access and much more information available about Fazlullah”.

Two suicide attackers separately rammed their explosives-laden vehicles into a Police station in Bannu and a military-owned commercial bank in Peshawar cantonment area of the NWFP on September 26, killing at least 23 people and injuring around another 200, officials said, according to Daily Times. At least 10 people were killed in the attack in Peshawar, while seven, including two Policemen, were killed in the assault on the Bannu Police station. But a Police official in Bannu said 13 people had been killed. Authorities said the death toll could rise as many among the injured were in critical condition. Around 94 people were injured in Peshawar and 64, including 31 Policemen, in Bannu. "It was a car suicide blast and according to our calculations 100 kilogram’s of explosives were used," Shafqat Malik, bomb disposal squad chief, told reporters at the incident site of the Peshawar attack. "The suicide bomber sitting inside the car hurled a grenade and then he detonated himself and the car," Malik said, describing the target as a branch of a bank run by an Army welfare trust. Eyewitnesses said Police arrested two suspicious persons from the site of Peshawar blast, which occurred some 300 metres away from the headquarters of the 11 Corps and the US Consulate in the high-security zone. Meanwhile, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the Bannu attack and threatened to unleash bigger attacks on the Government to avenge the killing of their leader Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack in August, AFP reported.
