Former President Pervez Musharraf said that his country should be given unmanned drones to target terrorists, Daily Times reported. He told FOX News in an interview on September 10 that al Qaeda has been significantly diminished in Pakistan, but the Taliban militants were thriving. “I personally believe that drones should be given to Pakistan because the sensitivity is American troops or any foreign troops coming into Pakistan,” he said. Musharraf believes that a combination of military might and political solutions would ultimately destroy the Taliban. They are digging their own grave by making Pakistanis turn away from them, he told FOX. He said Pakistan remained an American ally, but a growing divide was emerging because many Pakistanis do not like the US.

They were arrested along with three other Taliban commanders, he added. Both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan carried head money of PKR 10 million each, with Muslim Khan being second on the most-wanted list behind Fazlullah, and Mehmood at number four. The other three captured leaders were Fazle Ghaffar, Abdul Rehman and Sartaj, a military statement said. The report adds that the arrest confirmation followed a media report claiming the military had detained the Taliban leaders after “inviting” them to talks. “This is not correct ... we have not held talks with them,” Abbas said. “We have already declared that no talks will be held with any terrorist, if they want to surrender, they should lay down their arms and hand themselves to civil administration or law enforcement agencies,” he added. A source close to the Taliban at Mingora in Swat said the arrests could help the Army reach Fazlullah as both Muslim Khan and Mehmood Khan were among key Taliban leaders with “access and much more information available about Fazlullah”.

A suspected US drone strike on premises allegedly operated by an Afghan radical killed 10 suspected Taliban militants at North Waziristan in FATA, officials said on September 24, reports Daily Times. “Ten dead bodies were recovered from the debris of the house and two Taliban were wounded in the attack,” said a Pakistani security official on condition of anonymity. Another official and residents confirmed the toll. “The target was a compound of Haqqani’s men. According to our reports all of the dead belong to the Haqqani network,” the official said. The area is considered a stronghold for the Taliban and Afghan former Soviet resistance commander Jalaluddin Haqqani, around five kilometres northwest of Miranshah. The building acted as an office where Taliban militants would come to receive orders and rest between bouts of fighting across the border in Afghanistan, local residents and intelligence officials said. It was not immediately clear whether Ahmad Afghani was present at the time of the attack. The Haqqani network is a powerful group based in northwest Pakistan closely linked to al-Qaeda.
