The federal Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, warned of strict action against those challenging the Government’s writ. Speaking to the media at the Parliament House in Islamabad on June 5, Malik said media reports regarding the arrest of TNSM Chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad and the TTP chief Maulana Fazlullah were incorrect. “Neither Maulana Fazlullah has been killed nor he or Maulana Sufi Muhammad were arrested. The Swat Operation is going on and the situation for the return of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would be clear within next few weeks,” he said. Malik also stated that the SFs arrested some militant commanders and their deputies. He told a questioner that the infrastructure was badly affected in the Operation Zone and daily use items were not available. Consequently, Malik noted that no timeframe for the return of the IDPs can be set.

During clashes between two groups of militants on June 6 in the Mamond area of Bajaur Agency, four combatants were killed, Dawn reported. Supporters of Maulana Faqir Muhammad, of the Tehrik-Taliban Pakistan, and Commander Salar Masood of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) are now reportedly preparing for a major showdown in the area. The clash took place after the Salar group kidnapped Jarar Hussain of the TTP following a dispute over money. According to sources, Salar Masood’s militants were repulsed when they attempted to overrun the headquarters of the TTP in Sewai on June 7. The sources said three of the slain militants belonged to the Salar group, Shah Tamas Khan, Zafarullah and Musa Khan, and one to the TTP, Najeebullah. Five men from both sides sustained injuries in the clashes.

Pakistan Air Force jet fighters bombed suspected hideouts of Tehreek-e-Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud at South Waziristan Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 13, according to Daily Times. “In response to the suicide attack on Jamia Naeemi, in which Dr Sarfraz Naeemi and six others were killed in Lahore, two terrorists’ compounds were targeted by the air force in Makeen,” a military statement said. However, the military statement gave no details of the casualties inflicted on the Taliban militants during the early morning strikes. “The number of casualties could not be ascertained.” Hours before the attack on Mehsud’s stronghold, President Asif Ali Zardari vowed in a televised address to wage war against militancy “to the end”.

The Government on June 14 ordered a “full-fledged” military operation against the Tehreek-e-Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud and Mehsud tribes for harbouring terrorists, abetting terrorist activities and killing innocent people, Daily Times reported. “Law-enforcement agencies have been ordered to launch a comprehensive operation against Mehsud tribes and the TTP chief and his followers for their failure to fulfill their duties in accordance with the law of the land,” said NFWP Governor Awais Ghani at a press conference in Islamabad, but did not provide a date for the launch of the operation. The Online news agency claimed the operation would follow the offensive in Malakand. He said “this would be an affective and decisive operation that would root out terrorism from Pakistan “. The decision to launch the operation against Mehsud tribes, he said, had been made to “protect the lives and properties of the people of Pakistan from the barbaric terrorists of Mehsud tribes”. “Mehsud tribes were told time and again that their activities are unacceptable,” he added. Ghani said Mehsud tribes had not only failed to evict foreign terrorists from their areas, but had also continued operating training camps.

The Government has, in principle, reportedly decided to launch Operation Rah-e-Nijat against chief of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Baitullah Mehsud and his network in South Waziristan Agency (SWA), as the Pakistan Army has received necessary orders in this regard, a military spokesman said, The News reported. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on June 16, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Athar Abbas, said preparatory phase of the decisive operation against the militants was already underway. He said the operation would be taken to its logical end. Abbas refused to share operational and tactical details about the operation with the media, saying it would benefit the terrorists. According to unconfirmed reports, an Uzbek militant, Tahir Yuldash, was injured in recent airstrikes on the hideouts of Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan Agency, sources said. In reply to a question, the ISPR chief said according to a press statement of Baitullah he had a force of around 10,000 militants. He said all the necessary arrangements were being made by the security forces to block escape of militants from the area, where the operation was to be launched.

We will also send jacketwalas to other clerics too,” sources told Aaj Kal quoting a threatening letter addressed to a cleric.

Officials said all the arrangements had been finalised for what they called a ‘decisive’ action against the TTP chief and his militants. They said the operation could be accelerated once all the people of Waziristan, inhabited by the Mehsud tribesmen, came out of their villages and migrate to safer places. However, despite an announcement by the Government, there is reportedly no camp for the internally displaced persons (IDP) of South Waziristan. Consequently, most of the IDPs have been living with their relatives, friends or in rented houses in the Tank and Dera Ismail Khan Districts.

The minister told reporters in Islamabad that the militant leader had been spotted and there was no question of his escape. He said “By and large we know the location where he is hiding.” “But the question is that it is not one Fazlullah. There are many Fazlullahs who have to be eliminated,” he added.

Malik also claimed that the TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud, against whom a military operation was in the offing, was still in the tribal area, refuting reports that he might have escaped to Afghanistan. Malik stated, “We have information about where he is and we will not give him any chance to escape.” He also said a brother of Fazlullah had been injured during the operation in Swat and members of his family had been detained in Haripur. He said the mid-level command of militants had almost been eliminated. The minister added “However, right now it is very difficult to give exact figures about their dead leaders.”

A Taliban commander from South Waziristan opposed to the TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud and part of an apparent plan to isolate the leader of the Pakistan Taliban from his tribesmen ahead of a likely military operation in the area was shot dead on June 23-morning, The Hindu reported. Qari Zainuddin, a 26-year-old Mehsud tribesman, who led his own group of militants, was shot dead by an unidentified gunman in his office in Dera Ismail Khan in the NWFP, from where he had recently given interviews to Pakistani and international media denouncing Baitullah Mehsud as an “agent” of America and India.

According to Daily Times, Qari Zainuddin, leader of the Abdullah Group, was shot dead by his guard, Gulbuddin Mehsud, Police official Salahuddin told reporters. “We confirm that Qari Zainuddin is dead,” he said. No group has thus far claimed responsibility for the attack. “We were asleep after morning prayers when Gulbuddin opened fire, killing Zainuddin on the spot,” Kamal Mehsud, one of Zainuddin’s guards, said. The assailant escaped in the ensuing confusion, he added. Officials gave no motive for the killing, but Zainuddin’s aide Baz Muhammad, who witnessed the attack, told AFP the gunman was “an agent of Baitullah Mehsud”, acting on the orders of the Al Qaeda-linked warlord. “It was definitely Baitullah’s man who infiltrated our ranks, and he has done his job,” he told the Associated Press, vowing to avenge the death. He also filed a criminal complaint with local police, alleging the shooting was carried out at Mehsud’s behest. Sources told Daily Times that Misbahuddin Mehsud, Zainuddin’s younger brother, had been nominated as the new chief of the Abdullah Group. However, the group made no formal announcement in this regard.
