Daily Times quoting an intelligence reports warned on December 8 that the al Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are planning to carry out attacks at the Karachi’s hospitals and the airport to “avenge Operation Rah-e-Nijat”. The reports stated that the Taliban could strike in the guise of patients or Haj pilgrims. A communiqué sent by the Interior Ministry’s National Crisis Management Cell to provincial authorities warned that Taliban could also use improvised explosive devices (IED) and suicide attacks against foreigners in Karachi. A letter issued by Sindh Special Home Secretary Collin Kamran Dost to Inspector General of Police Sallahuddin Khattak quoted intelligence sources as saying that the Taliban’s possible targets could be US citizens, people associated with American projects and guests staying at hotels, and US diplomats and employees working for foreign non-governmental organisations. According to another communiqué, the TTP plans to target hospitals and airports, while posing as patients in wheelchairs and as pilgrims arriving in the city after Haj. Moreover, the Taliban are likely to use vehicles covered with garlands – such as the ones used in wedding processions – to carry suicide bombers and explosives to the areas they seek to target.

The Government has concrete evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism across the country and the issue will be taken up during a round of talks with New Delhi soon, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on December 8, according to Daily Times. Talking to reporters after meeting clerics in Karachi, Malik said militants and weapons were also coming in from Afghanistan, and Pakistan had taken up the issue with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai. He said the Government was working on an action plan for effective surveillance of the Pak-Afghan border, adding that in this regard, biometric checkposts would soon be set up at three points along the border. Malik said al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was not in Pakistan, and if anyone had any information in this regard, he should share it with Islamabad so that the country could take appropriate action. The Interior Minister said religious scholars from all sects had declared suicide attacks against the teachings of Islam, while the Government had also sought the views of clerics from around the world on terrorism. He said the Government would organise a conference on terrorism where scholars from Muslim countries would be invited to give their views on the issue. Malik said he would also meet clerics across the country and in this regard, a meeting had been scheduled in Lahore on December 10.

United States Defense Secretary Robert Gates on December 8 said that the U.S. is prepared to give Pakistan more help in fighting against al-Qaeda if its Government wants it, according to The News. Gates, who arrived in Afghanistan, said it is Pakistan's ``foot on the accelerator'' when it comes to fighting terrorists. But he said the U.S. could provide more assistance ``at any pace they are prepared to accept.'' While Pakistan is considered one of the closest U.S. allies in the war on terrorism, it is also accused of giving anti-U.S. forces a safe haven along its lawless border.

A top al Qaeda leader, Abu Yahya al-Libi, was killed in a drone missile strike in South Waziristan of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on December 10, according to Daily Times. Yahya managed to escape from the Bagram Airbase of Afghanistan in 2005. He was born in Libya in 1963 and enjoyed close relations with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahri. United States authorities had offered a bounty of USD five million for his capture, dead or alive. According to an Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement, no US drone hit South Waziristan on December 10. Since August 2008, at least 65 such strikes have killed around 625 people.

Pakistan must cooperate more fully with the United States to help wipe out al-Qaeda, US President Barack Obama said in excerpts of a weekend interview on December 11, according to The News. In the interview with media, Barack Obama said the tribal militants that straddle the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan were the "epicenter of the violent extremism directed against the West... and the United States." "Ultimately, in order for us to eradicate the problem, to really go after al-Qaeda... we are going to need more cooperation from Pakistan. There is no doubt about that," Barack Obama added.

The top leadership of al Qaeda and Taliban is in Pakistan and planning to kill “as many Americans as they have” in the past, United States (US) Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen said on December 16, according to Daily Times. “The indication that I have is that they (al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban leadership) are here [Pakistan] and are actually protected by others, particularly, by the [local] Taliban. This is our information, we operate under it and it’s the focus of our strategy,” he said in an interview at the US embassy in Islamabad. Mullen said both al Qaeda and the Taliban had their “resource” and leadership in Pakistan and are “still planning to kill as many Americans as they have killed before”. Mullen said the US was determined not to let the terrorists use Pakistan as staging ground to launch attacks in the future. “We are going to do everything we possibly can do to make sure that it does not happen again,” he said. Mullen avoided questions on possible US drone attacks in Balochistan.

A key al Qaeda operative, Zohaib Al-Zahidi, and seven other foreigners were among 17 persons killed in two separate drone strikes in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on December 17, according to Daily Times. Zohaib Al-Zahidi was an important al Qaeda cadre involved in planning and executing several militant attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan. In the first attack, five United States (US) drones fired at least 10 missiles at two houses in the Ambarshaga area killing at least 15 people. Another US drone killed two Taliban militants as it fired two missiles at their vehicle around 4 AM (PST) in Godi Wala village in Datta Khel tehsil (revenue division), 40 kilometres west of Miranshah. Official sources said the first missile missed the target due to which several militants escaped, while two of them were killed by the second missile. However, The News put the death to 16.

Times of India quoting the report of Geopolitical intelligence group Stratfor said that the investigation into the David Headley case has conclusively proved that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami (HuJI) continue to enjoy great deal of operational freedom in Pakistan because of their links with its Government and military officials even as al-Qaeda barely manages to survive. This is one of the conclusions drawn by Geopolitical intelligence group Stratfor in its latest report on US investigations into Headley which further authenticates India’s stand that Islamabad is not doing enough to dismantle the terror infrastructure. According to Stratfor, the case shows that LeT and HuJI operatives were able to travel, raise funds, communicate, train and plan operations in Pakistan with seemingly little interference. ‘‘This is a stark contrast to al-Qaeda, which is hunted, on the run and experiencing a great deal of difficulty moving operatives, communicating, raising funds and conducting operations. The links between Headley and his associates to current and former Pakistani military officers and Government officials are likely what is affording LeT and HUJI their operational freedom,’’ said the report, adding that even while having to drift out from under the wings of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the two groups have developed an advanced central planning apparatus. The report goes on to say that HuJI leader Ilyas Kashmiri’s links with al-Qaida and the plans for Denmark attack are an indication that HuJI has become more closely aligned with the transnational jihadis targeting philosophy as a result of Kashmiri’s contacts with Osama bin Laden and company. ‘‘It appears that LeT, on the other hand, has retained more of a focus on India. So, while the two organisations continue to cooperate, they do have some differences in targeting philosophy, and it would seem that HuJI is creeping further into the al-Qaida orbit than LeT,’’ states the report.

A US drone fired four missiles in the Shagga village of North Waziristan, killing eight Taliban militants and injuring five others. The US drone struck at around 3:30pm (IST) in Pyekhel area of Dattakhel tehsil (revenue division), 25 kilometres west of Miranshah. “The US drone fired four missiles, hitting a house, a compound and some makeshift buildings,” a Security Official in Peshawar told the AFP. “It looks like some key Taliban or al Qaeda figures are hiding in this area, and that’s why the drones are targeting this area again and again.” An official told AFP, “Our informers told us that the Taliban had gathered to attend the funeral prayers of those killed December 17’s missile attacks,” he said.
