US Army General David Petraeus told the National Public Radio (NPR) on December 4 that the Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Omar stays most, if not all, of the time in Pakistan, Daily Times reported. He told NPR that the Afghan Taliban were located "in various locations in Pakistan... typically in Balochistan. It’s called the Quetta shura". "I’m not sure that folks will say [the Taliban] right inside the city [Quetta] or precisely — it will move around and so forth. But... has historically been centred on that city," Petraeus said. "And when the Taliban were ejected, defeated along with Al Qaeda and other extremist elements that were located in Afghanistan prior to 9/11... they dispersed in these very rugged areas of eastern Afghanistan, the tribal areas of Pakistan and then down in the Balochistan as well". The US general also said the Siraj Haqqani network, believed to be operating from North Waziristan, was a "big concern".

A group of three Taliban militants launched a gun, rocket and suicide attack on the office of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), killing at least 12 people and injuring several others at Multan in Punjab on December 8, according to Daily Times. The blast in Multan destroyed the facades off several buildings in a part of the city largely reserved for Government and Security Agencies. The apparent target of the blast was a building housing an office of the ISI which was also damaged. Senior Police Officer Agha Yusuf said at least three Taliban militants in a car carried out the attack. He said one of them first fired a rocket and an automatic weapon at a police checkpoint, and then drove to the intelligence agency – where they blew it up. He said Security personnel were also among the 12 killed. “It was a suicide attack. There were two attackers who were stopped at the checkpost, but they tried to flee and Security personnel fired at them,” another Police Official, Arif Ikram told reporters. “The attackers returned fire and also launched two rockets, and later exploded their vehicle.” Multan’s top administrative official, Syed Mohammad Ali Gardezi, said that one military building was badly damaged in the blast. “They did not succeed in hitting the target,” he claimed.

Two Arab nationals were killed in a missile strike on a car by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) -operated spy planes at Spalga village in North Waziristan of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in the morning of December 8, according to The News. A senior Government official based in Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan, told The News by telephone that the drone fired two missiles on the car. He said two Arab nationals were travelling in the car when it was struck by the drone. Four drones were flying at the time of the attack over the area. The Taliban sources also confirmed that both the men killed in the drone attack were foreigners and belonged to Saudi Arabia. Both of them had just left their homes and were on their way to the Afghan border, where they were supposed to meet their colleagues, the Taliban sources said. They said the identity of the two ‘guest fighters’ could not be ascertained as their bodies had been blown apart. A tribesman of Spalga village, Hafiz Rasool, told The News by telephone that the car was torn into pieces after being hit by the drone.

Wazir said the Taliban had buried large quantities of dynamite around the outer walls of the schools. “Both Taliban and Lashkar-e-Islam are involved in this act,” he said.

Security Forces (SFs) discovered a Jannat (heaven) in South Waziristan Agency on December 11, in which militants used to brainwash suicide bombers. According to ISPR, a team of journalists visited the jannat at Nawaz Kot area of the agency. The ‘heaven’ consisted of four rooms. Each room contains beautiful paintings of running canals of milk and honey surrounded by hoors (maidens of paradise). Conducting Officer Major Saleem said Taliban clerics showed the jannat to the would-be suicide bombers to convince them that once they blew themselves up they would enjoy a status equivalent to that of the companions of Prophet Muhammad. He said they were also told that they would live forever in the company of beautiful hoors. He said SFs had also seized hate literature, CDs, hashish and other drugs from the site. The official said two would-be suicide bombers and their trainers were also arrested from the place.
