Three minors and two women were among the 12 people who died in the first-ever US drone attack in Orakzai Agency of FATA on April 1. Sources told The News that an unmanned CIA-operated spy plane fired two Hellfire missiles on the two-storey house of a militant commander Maulvi Gul Nazeer alias Gul Mulla, in Khadeezai village, about 35 kilometers northwest of Ghiljo, Tehsil (revenue division) headquarters of the Orakzai Agency. They said the drone first fired one missile and fired another after an interval. The attack was the first of its kind in Orakzai Agency, the only tribal region out of the total seven regions of the FATA, which does not share its border with Afghanistan. Reports said the dead included four Arabs, one of them known as Kaka, reportedly a senior al Qaeda operative. The victims included two women and three children, including the wife of Gul Nazeer, his daughter-in-law, his two sons and a nephew. The children were identified as Abdullah, Abdul Latif and Mohammad Shoaib. Maulvi Gul Nazeer survived the attack.

US President Barack Obama said on April 1 that al Qaeda was planning to attack the US mainland from Pakistani soil and added that the US would chase and defeat the terror organisation wherever it was present in the world, The News reported. Addressing a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Obama said the US policy was clear for both Pakistan and Afghanistan, while Afghanistan would not be allowed to become a safe haven for al -Qaeda.

A suspected US drone fired two missiles on an alleged Taliban hideout in the North Waziristan Agency of FATA on April 4, killing 13 people, according to Daily Times. Unnamed security officials told news agencies that the dead and injured included local and foreign Taliban militants, but Daily Times could not ascertain the information. The officials said the family of the man who owned the attacked house was also killed. "The missile hit a house where some guests were staying," one intelligence agency official told Reuters. Officials use the word ‘guests’ for foreigners linked to al Qaeda and Taliban militants. A local tribal elder, Dilawar Khan, told Associated Press that the house was in the Data Khel village very close to the Afghan border. He did not know the identities of the people killed or whether there were Taliban militants staying there.

The top leadership of the Taliban is hiding in Balochistan province, Admiral Mike Mullen, the US Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said, Daily Times reported. He said this while talking informally, along with Richard Holbrooke, the US Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, to a select group of invitees at US Ambassador Anne Patterson’s house in the US embassy in Islamabad on April 6. Asked if the US was winning or losing the war in Afghanistan, Admiral Mullen said that since the US was not winning, it could be said that it was losing it. Admiral Mullen also said that the US was targeting Baitullah Mehsud now because he had established strategic links with al Qaeda in the past year or so and was facilitating al Qaeda’s attacks on NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistani Taliban commander Mullah Nazeer Ahmed said in an interview with al Qaeda’s media arm, Al-Sahab, that the Taliban would soon capture Islamabad, Daily Times reported. Pakistani Taliban factions had united and would take their war to the capital, he said. “The day is not far when Islamabad will be in the hands of the Mujahideen,” he declared. He accused the Pakistan Army of sending spies to facilitate US drone strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban, and said Pakistani authorities were misleading the public by saying it was the United States carrying out the attacks. “All these attacks that have happened and are still happening are the work of Pakistan,” he said, according to a transcript of the interview posted on Al-Sahab’s website. Mullah Nazeer Ahmed also blamed the Pakistani military’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency for sowing divisions between factions, saying the ISI was the Taliban’s main enemy.

The newspaper also reported that al Qaeda, Taliban and other militants have been relocating from the Tribal Areas to Pakistan’s overcrowded and impoverished cities, which is likely to make it harder to find and stop them from staging terrorist attacks. “Putting these guys on the run forces a lot of good things to happen… It gives you more targeting opportunities. The downside is that you get a much more dispersed target set and they go to places where we are not operating,” said a senior US defence official. Officials also pointed out that the strikes by the missile-firing drones are a recruiting issue for extremists because of the civilian casualties.

Al Qaeda and other militant groups within its territory pose “an ever more serious threat to Pakistan’s very existence”, General David Petraeus, head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), has said, Daily Times reported. In an interview with Philadelphia Inquirer, he said US President Barack Obama had made Afghanistan and Pakistan the focus of his foreign policy because of the presence of al Qaeda in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan. To questions on why troops were being increased in Afghanistan if the real threat were in Pakistan, he said: “You have to ensure that Afghanistan doesn’t become once again a place where Al Qaeda establishes safe havens.” If Taliban ideologues regain control of Afghanistan, it would further destabilise Pakistan, he added. Petraeus said the surge of 17,000 troops would be enough, as Afghanistan was not plagued by a raging insurgency throughout the country, as was the case in Iraq. “Seventy percent of the violence is in 10 percent of the districts,” he said.

The Netherlands’ national intelligence agency is reported to have stated that a growing number of West Europeans are attending terror training camps in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to Daily Times. The General Intelligence and Security Service chief Gerard Bouman said Al Qaeda is boosting its capacity to carry out attacks by increasing co-operation with other extremist groups. He also said there is still a real threat of attacks in the region, AP reported.

The Taliban in Swat have said they are not bound to honour the peace accord between the Government and Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Muhammad, Daily Times reported. According to a private TV channel, they said the NWFP Government had signed the deal with the TNSM, and not with the Taliban. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan in a telephone interview with the CNN demanded the imposition of the Taliban’s model of Sharia (Islamic law) throughout Pakistan and beyond, "even in America". He also denounced any Pakistanis who disagreed with his interpretation of Islam, calling them "non-Muslims". He also called for the imposition of jiziya, a tax to be levied on all non-Muslims in Pakistan. In an Associated Press interview, he said Osama bin Laden was welcome in Swat. "Yes, we will help them and protect them," he stated. Muslim Khan counted the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban of Afghanistan among his allies. "If we need, we can call them and if they need, they can call us," he said.

Evidence is reportedly growing that Taliban are filtering out of havens along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and into East Africa, bringing sophisticated terror tactics including suicide attacks, according to Daily Times. The shift, according to US military and counter-terrorism officials, fuels worries that Somalia is on a path to become the next Afghanistan, a sanctuary where Al Qaeda-linked groups could train and plan their attacks against the West. So far, officials said the number of foreign fighters who had moved from southwest Asia and the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region to the Horn of Africa was two to three dozen. “There is a level of activity that is troubling, disturbing,” US Gen William “Kip” Ward, head of US Africa Command, told AP, adding that American officials already were seeing extremist factions in East Africa sharing information and techniques.
