at least six militants were killed when Kukikhel peace lashkar clashed with Tariq Afridi group of TTP in Dwa Thoe area of Tirah valley in Khyber Agency. TTP had earlier claimed to have captured some bunkers previously occupied by Kukikhel volunteers in the same locality. Zabita Khan, a Kukikhel elder in Jamrud, said that reinforcements were dispatched to Tirah. He claimed that the tribal volunteers had besieged TTP from three sides. Taliban would soon be flushed out from Kukikhel area as the entire tribe was against their presence, he added.

Hundreds of families were forced to flee when Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a fresh offensive against Kukikhel tribe in Tirah valley of Khyber Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 8, reported Dawn. Sources said that about 500 families, belonging to Maniya Khel and Sra Vela localities of Tirah, reached Ghundi village of Jamrud tehsil (revenue unit) while around 300 more temporarily settled down in Ali Masjid area. A resident of Maniya Khel, Saifullah told the media “Taliban came in a large number. They were heavily armed”. He added that Kukikhel volunteers could not offer any resistance as they had exhausted all their ammunition and also vacated most of their bunkers. Saifullah further said that Taliban were also supported by Ansarul Islam (AI), a local militant outfit headed by Maulana Mehboobul Haq. He also alleged that the local militant outfit was affiliated with Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F). Further, another Kukikhel volunteer Noor Zahir said that his tribe, which had earlier vowed to expel Taliban from their soil at any cost, lost most of their areas to Taliban fighters of Tariq Afridi group. He said that Taliban started consolidating their position in the areas, which the Kukikehl volunteers vacated after the offensive was launched. “Taliban occupied our houses and seized most of our belongings including household items, cattle and stocks of edibles, which we use to keep for winter,” he said.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in North Waziristan has declared a ban on the polio vaccination programme in the tribal agency as long as drone attacks continue in the region, The Hindu reported on June 17. This ban was announced on June 16 through a press release which claimed polio affected only few in comparison to drones which killed large numbers indiscriminately. According to local media, the statement said: “After consultation with the Taliban Shura, servant of Mujahideen in North Waziristan Agency Hafiz Gul Bahadur has decided that there will be a ban on polio campaign as long as drone strikes are not stopped.” The statement also argued the polio campaign was just a front for the U.S. to spy inside Pakistan and made a reference to Shakeel Afridi, the doctor who helped the CIA confirm the presence of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad by getting his family's DNA samples through a health programme.

A United Nations (UN) investigator, Christof Heyns, on June 19 called on the US President Barak Obama administration to justify its policy of assassinating rather than capturing al Qaeda or Taliban suspects, increasingly with the use of unmanned drone aircraft that also take civilian lives, reports Daily Times. Heyns, UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, in a report issued overnight to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), urged Washington to clarify the basis under international law of the policy. The US military has conducted drone attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, in addition to conventional raids and air strikes, according to Heyns. “Disclosure of these killings is critical to ensure accountability, justice and reparation for victims or their families,” he said in a 28-page report. “While these attacks are directed at individuals believed to be leaders or active members of al Qaeda or Taliban, in the context of armed conflict (example in Afghanistan), in other instances, civilians have allegedly also perished in the attacks in regions where it is unclear whether there was an armed conflict or not (example in Pakistan),” he said. Human rights law requires that every effort be made to arrest a suspect, in line with the “principles of necessity and proportionality on the use of force”, the investigator said. Citing figures from the Pakistan Human Rights Commission, he said US drone strikes killed at least 957 people in Pakistan in 2010 alone. Thousands have been killed in 300 drone strikes there since 2004, 20 percent of whom are believed to be civilians. “Although figures vary widely with regard to drone attack estimates, all studies concur on one important point – there has been a dramatic increase in their use over the past three years,” Heyns said.

A hoped-for peace deal ending the war in Afghanistan will likely remain out of reach unless both the United States and Taliban put more clear and consistent offers on the table, Mohammad Sadiq, Islamabad’s ambassador in Kabul said on June 25, reports Daily Times. “We don’t think all these issues can be solved by fighting. There must be a political process, but the parties need to be serious about it,” Mohammad Sadiq, said during an interview to Reuters. “There is a lack of clarity on both sides,” Sadiq said, referring to the US and Taliban negotiating positions. The role of Pakistan, with deep historic ties to Taliban, will be pivotal in US efforts to broker a peace deal between the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the terrorist group, whose leaders are believed to be based in Pakistan.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants on motorcycles opened fire at the offices of local news channel Aaj TV in Karachi on June 25, injuring two persons, including a security guard, reports Dawn. The TTP claimed responsibility for the shooting, and threatened attacks against other television channels that did not feature the Taliban point of view. “We had informed the management of Aaj TV to include our view on issues, but the channel had become a mouthpiece of the government,” Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman for the TTP said. “Geo TV is going to be our next target if they do not change their behaviour towards us. They have been using very bad language against the Mujahideen.” Meanwhile, Prime Minister (PM) Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has ordered for provision of security to all TV channels.

Afghan Taliban on June 28 rejected the statement of Pakistani Ambassador in Kabul Muhammad Sadiq wherein he had said that Taliban were allowed to go to Qatar for peace talks, saying the peace talks were not started on directions from Pakistan, reports Daily Times. Commenting on the Pakistani ambassador’s statement, Taliban ‘spokesman’ Zabihullah Mujahid said, “We have said earlier that Taliban representatives never proceeded to Qatar for Pakistan told them to do so, as the ambassador in an interview with Reuters had said.” Perhaps the Pakistani ambassador lacked knowledge in that connection, he said, adding, “Afghanistan started peace talks in its national interest and on the wishes of the leadership of Taliban, and then suspended the talks when the leadership wished so.” In the fresh message, Taliban reiterated that the talks were held for forwarding the confidence-building measures that had to be followed by peace talks. However, he did not rule out the possibility of resumption of the talks.

Pakistan told the UN Security Council on June 28 that it had acted with restraint to a recent cross-border attack by Taliban that killed 17 Pakistani soldiers, but warned against recurrence of such provocations from the Afghan side, reports Daily Times. “Preventing recurrence of such incidents is absolutely imperative - and safe havens in Afghanistan of such people must be dissuaded,” Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN, said of the attack that took place on June 24 in Upper Dir District. “It is a grave incident, which unfortunately is not unprecedented,” he told the 15-nation council, which debated the situation in Afghanistan. Ambassador Haroon, describing great costs to Pakistan in dealing with security challenges and refugees emanating from the Afghan situation, expressed deep concern over provocations from Afghan areas with sizable Afghan forces and international presence.

The Afghan Taliban on June 29 denied that they had obtained permission from Pakistan to send representatives to Qatar to participate in initial talks that US officials had hoped would lead to a peace deal in Afghanistan, adding that they had acted independently, reports Dawn. In a statement posted on a Taliban website, the militant group said it made “decisions of its own liking in all matters and affairs in light of Islamic principles and national interests”. “We would like to once categorically state that the representatives of Islamic Emirate did not go to Qatar with the permission of Pakistan,” the outfit said in the statement posted on June 28. “The Islamic Emirate is completely free and independent in all of its affairs.”

The United States designated two Afghanistan-Pakistan money changers as helping Taliban manage and move funds, setting sanctions against both that aim to hinder their business, reports Daily Times. The US Treasury said the two hawalas, or money exchange businesses, the Haji Khairullah Haji Sattar Money Exchange (HKHS) and the Roshan Money Exchange, “have been used by Taliban to facilitate money transfers in support of Taliban’s narcotics trade and terrorist operations.” Up through last year, HKHS services were “a preferred method for Taliban leadership to transfer money to Taliban commanders in Afghanistan,” the Treasury said. HKHS has 16 branches in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Dubai, while Roslan operates 11 branches in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
