The Pakistan Army is reported to have launched an operation against the Al Qaeda in South Waziristan Agency on January 8. However, no one was arrested though the houses of four tribesmen were destroyed for sheltering "unwanted elements", said unnamed officials. "This is a search operation," Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Shaukat Sultan was quoted as saying in the Daily Times, while confirming the pre-dawn strike in Kalosha, 12 kilometers west of South Waziristan Agency capital Wana. He said the operation was launched after intelligence reports indicated the presence of foreign terrorists in the area. "The search operation continues," added Gen. Sultan.

Four soldiers were reportedly killed during a rocket attack on a Pakistan Army camp in the South Waziristan Agency on January 9, several hours after a military operation in the area in which three houses of tribesmen were demolished for allegedly harbouring "foreign terrorists". An Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesperson while confirming the deaths said that a stray rocket fell in the army camp at Zeray Noor village near Wana. Unnamed official sources were quoted as saying in The News that at least four RPG-7 rockets targeted the camp where a brigade of the Pakistan Army was deployed to assist in the operations against Al Qaeda and Taliban suspects. Meanwhile, Mohammad Azam Khan, political agent of South Waziristan, said "Preliminary probe showed that the rockets came from the south from an area inhabited by the Zalikhels, a section of the Wazir tribe. We would now initiate action against the Zalikhel tribe under the terms of the territorial responsibility."

Under a deal reportedly reached with the government, the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe would raise a tribal Lashkar (force) to hunt down about 22 tribesmen wanted by the political administration of South Waziristan for allegedly sheltering Al-Qaeda and Taliban suspects and for the rocket attack against the Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps camps. The agreement was reached in a jirga (tribal body) held on January 12 in Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan tribal agency. More than 200 tribal elders and other influential tribesmen met the political agent of South Waziristan, Mohammad Azam Khan, and assistant political agent, Rahmatullah Wazir, to convey their willingness to move against the wanted men.

According to a Chicago Tribune report, the US military is planning an offensive that will reach inside Pakistan in the coming months, to try to destroy operations of the Al Qaeda network. The report citing military sources in Washington, said that the plans involved thousands of US troops, some of them already in neighbouring Afghanistan. The Pentagon declined confirming that such a plan was being worked on. The report added that the plans were advanced but their execution would depend on events on the ground. The Pakistan Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Shaukat Sultan, however, described the report as "totally baseless and fabricated".

According to media reports, the Italian police arrested 28 Pakistanis from an apartment in central Naples on January 29 for suspected links to the Al Qaeda. Reports said that this was one of the biggest anti-terrorism operations in Italy since 9/11. Police arrested all the 28 persons staying in the apartment after finding 800 grams of explosives, 70 metres of fuse and various electronic detonators hidden behind a false wall. "The men have been arrested and charged with association with international terrorism, illegal possession of explosive material, falsification of documents and receiving stolen goods," a statement from the Naples police headquarters said. Religious texts, photos of Jehad martyrs, false documents, maps of the Naples area, addresses of contacts around the world and more than 100 mobile telephones were also found in the apartment, police said. An unnamed judicial source was quoted as saying in an report that the maps had various targets marked out on them, including the headquarters of NATO’s southern European command, the US consulate in Naples and a US naval base at Capodichino. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Pat Barnes, a spokesperson for the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany, said protection levels at all the US naval facilities in Italy were raised consequent to these arrests.
