The head of the US armed forces warned on May 2 that militants hiding in the FATA of Pakistan pose a direct threat to the United States and other Western nations, according to Dawn. Al Qaeda and the Taliban are using the area to regroup and “I believe they are preparing to launch attacks against the US and Western interests,” said Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen. “All nations must work with Pakistan’s new government to address the challenges in the tribal area,” he told the 102nd annual meeting of the American Jewish Committee in Washington. Meanwhile, in a report to the US House of Representatives and the Senate, the Pentagon said that al Qaeda and Taliban militants had built “safe havens” at several places in the FATA. “Deficiencies in the Pakistan army’s ability to conduct counter-insurgency operations are being addressed; however, it will take three to five years before they are realised on the battlefield,” the report said. The Pakistan army has been trained and equipped to fight India, while the Frontier Corps that is responsible for the tribal areas is under-trained, ill-equipped and “in many cases are outgunned by their militant opponents”, the report said. The armed forces had “deficiencies in structure, tactics, doctrine and flexibility”, the Pentagon stated.

Al Qaeda based in Pakistan were behind last week’s assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s intelligence chief said on May 4, Daily Times reported. The head of Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security, Amrullah Saleh, said foreign Governments should put pressure on Pakistan to target militant bases within its own borders. Militants had fired rocket-propelled grenades and small arms at a state parade in Kabul on April 27, killing three persons. The Afghan troops subsequently killed the three attackers. They had links with al Qaeda in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Saleh said, and branded the network the mastermind of the attack. "Al Qaeda’s role and involvement in the attack is very clear," Saleh informed a press conference. "They have bases (in Pakistan). They are supplied financially and logistically. They receive very sophisticated training... We have always said that pressure on their bases, combined with our intelligence can destroy them," he added.

The United States said on May 5 that it wanted Pakistan to live up to its commitment of urgently bringing security under control in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), allegedly used as a safe haven by al Qaeda and Taliban militants, Daily Times reported. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte said Islamabad recognised that bringing the mountainous and unpoliced FATA under control was an urgent priority for Pakistan’s own sake. "But let me be clear: we will not be satisfied until all the violent extremism emanating from FATA is brought under control," he said at a forum of the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy. "It is unacceptable for extremists to use those areas to plan, train for, or execute attacks against Afghanistan, Pakistan, or the wider world," he stated. Negroponte also said Pakistan’s Government "must bring the Frontier area under its control as quickly as possible," pointing out that Washington was prepared to provide "appropriate assistance" in order to achieve that objective.

An Afghan governor warned on May 7 that radical groups in Pakistan were receiving funding from Arab nations for the Taliban and their al Qaeda allies, Daily Times reported. "They can finance Taliban activities for another 10 years," Laghman province Governor Lutfallah Mashal said at a meeting of the European Union officials, journalists and Afghan experts in Brussels. The governors of northern Baghlan and eastern Nangarhar provinces were also present at the meeting. The three governors appealed for more international aid to be focused on the tribal regions that straddle the border with Pakistan, to win over residents in areas where Taliban support remained strong.

Troops blocked the main road leading to the South Waziristan on May 8 in a confrontation with al Qaeda-linked militants who operate in the region, Reuters quoted a security official as saying. The blockade of the road leading to South Waziristan on the Afghan border came after militants loyal to Baitullah Mehsud, chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, set up check-posts on the road to exert control over the region, Daily Times reported. "The road is blocked to put pressure on the militants to remove the check-posts," said an intelligence official based in the area. Hundreds of trucks and cars were backed up along the road from the town of Tank in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), residents said.

Pakistan "disagreed" on May 18 with the United States intelligence assessment that al Qaeda is using the FATA to plot attacks on the US as Operation Zalzala continues in South Waziristan, according to Daily Times. "No Pashtun is a terrorist," 14 Division GOC Major General Tariq Khan told journalists while showing them the forward positions of the army in a former stronghold of Baitullah Mehsud. Disagreeing with the US allegation that the Pakistan Army was being lenient with al Qaeda and the Taliban, he said "I would disagree with the US claims of [us] being soft on militants."

A top American general on May 22 endorsed a US intelligence assessment that the next 9/11-type attack on the US soil would come from al Qaeda bases in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan but urged the United States to increase its security assistance to the country to help it deal with the threat, Dawn reported. General David Petraeus, a top US military commander nominated to lead the Central Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that "Clearly, Al Qaeda’s senior leadership has been strengthened in the Fata, even as though their main effort still is assessed to be in Iraq by them, as well as by us. But the organisation of an attack, if you will, would likely come from the Fata."

A Pentagon report said on May 23 that the growth of al Qaeda safe havens in Pakistan's tribal areas is "troubling" and warned it may take Pakistan several years to turn around the situation, The News reported. The report to Congress by the US Department of Defense said Pakistan increased its troop levels in the border areas by 30,000 in 2007, and made "significant and costly" efforts to eliminate safe havens. "It is troubling that despite these efforts, safe havens in the FATA [Federally Administered Tribal Areas] have grown in recent years," the report said. The Pentagon report noted that 700 Pakistanis have been killed in suicide attacks since July 2007. It said "Al-Qaeda and other violent extremists continue to hide out in the FATA, where they are able to recruit, train, and target US and western interests, including plots against Europe and the US homeland." Madrassas, or Islamic religious schools, "continue to promote jihad and martyrdom, and provide potential operatives for acts of violence in Afghanistan," it said. "Despite successful attacks against some terrorist training facilities in the tribal areas, it is believed other camps remain active and safe havens have grown in recent years," the report stated. The report described a six-year US program to help strengthen the Pakistani military and security forces' ability to secure the border with Pakistan, but cautioned that it will take time to implement. "It may be several years before Pakistan's comprehensive strategy to render the remote tribal areas permanently inhospitable to terrorists, insurgents and other violent extremists can be measured for success," the report noted.

An al Qaeda figure killed in a United States air strike in Bajaur Agency on May 14 is believed to have been an Algerian allegedly involved in training militants and plotting attacks against the West, officials told Los Angeles Times on May 23, according to Daily Times. They said the Algerian, known by the nickname Abu Sulayman Jazairi, apparently died in the aerial strike that killed 14 people and destroyed a compound near the Damadola village. A knowledgeable US official and a senior European anti-terrorism official said that Jazairi was thought to be dead. "He was a significant person within the al Qaeda ranks… Not in the top five, but he’s up there… The suspicion is he was one of those individuals involved in training and targeting Western interests. There is uncorroborated intelligence that he was involved in plots against Europe," said the European official. Officials said Jazairi surfaced in Pakistan about six years ago and was a mid-level figure who gained stature as other plotters and trainers were neutralized.

A top Afghan intelligence official said on May 27 that his agency received information several months ago that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was hiding in northern Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, Dawn reported. The unnamed official told AFP that bin Laden was said to be in a mountainous region in Chitral, a Pakistani region facing Afghanistan’s eastern province of Kunar. "We’ve received new information that he is hiding in Chitral. We got the information about his presence in that area about four, five months ago," the Afghan intelligence official said.

The Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (also known as Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)) denied on May 28 it had links with al Qaeda, as Washington imposed financial sanctions on its chief and three other leaders, Daily Times reported. The Bush administration moved on May 27 to implement sanctions against four top leaders of the LeT, including its chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed. The US Treasury described the group as a “dangerous al Qaeda affiliate that has demonstrated its willingness to murder innocent civilians”. The sanctions mean any assets of the four found in the US will be blocked and that US citizens are forbidden from doing business with the four. Jama’at-ud-Da’awa spokesman Muhammad Yahya Mujahid denied that Saeed was still involved in the LeT and claimed the US statement was “based (on) enmity with Islam, lack of knowledge and ignorance.” “America cannot prove in any court in the world Hafiz Muhammad Saeed’s links with incidents of terrorism,” Mujahid said in a statement. According to him, “The recent step by America is a result of Indian propaganda and an effort to pressure Pakistan’s government.”
