PM to hold consultations with various political parties

IDPs and Ramazan

For the half a million IDPs, the prospect of fasting during the holy month of Ramazan amid severe food shortages has sharpened anger towards the government.

Temperatures approach 50C and riots frequently break out over the lack of food supplies. Despite the misery, many are hopeful that Ramazan would still bring blessings.

Relief efforts for IDPs

Distribution of relief items for IDPs continues at Bannu, DI Khan and Tank. 30,000 ration packs each of 110 Kilogram have been distributed so far.

276 ton Rations have been collected so far at 55 Relief donations points established by Army in major cities and being transported to Bannu.

5665 Patients have been treated at the Field Medical Hospital established at Bannu by Army.

6435 cattle have been provided veterinary treatment while 17659 cattle and 30545 poultry have been vaccinated.

Sindh CM Qaim Ali Shah today met PM Nawaz Sharif and Army Chief General Raheel Sharif and presented cheques worth Rs.100 million to help the IDPs.

Polio vaccination campaign

Health authorities have been able to vaccinate more than 192,442 previously unreachable children against polio, officials say.

The officials said that children were vaccinated at permanent transit points set up in FR Bannu, and in Hangu. The rest of the children were vaccinated in Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu and Lakki Marwat districts

Former DG ISPR: NWA operation was planned in 2010

Former DG ISPR, Maj Gen (retd) Athar Abbas said that the decision to launch a full scale operation against terrorists in NWA had been taken by the military leadership in 2010. He said that the operation could not be initiated due to the indecisiveness of Gen (retd) Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.

Rehman Malik: Operation should had been started 8 months ago

PPP’s leader and former Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that the operation against militants should had started eight months ago.

Other Developments

The Senate has unanimously passed the Protection of Pakistan Bill 2014 which permits security forces to shoot suspects on sight with the permission of a grade-15 official.

Two traffic police personnel were martyred in Orangi Town in what is believed to be target killing in reaction to law enforcement agencies’ operation against militants in Karachi.

I commend PM Nawaz Shrief for owning up to the operation and giving stern messages to the militants of North Waziristan, not just once but repeatedly since the operation began. Look at today's Dawn main page.

Explosive & other material recovered from IED factory

No foreign forces involved in Zarb-i-Azb: officials
By Zahir Shah Sherazi | Mateen Haider
ISLAMABAD/PESHAWAR: High-level military and civilian officials made it clear on Thursday that the current operation in North Waziristan Agency was the Pakistan Army's own operation and had no involvement of other foreign forces.

A delegation of foreign journalists was briefed in Islamabad over the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb operation during which a a top military official said "It's wrong to link drone attacks with the ongoing operation".

The background briefing of the foreign media delegation was attended by Federal Information Minister Pervez Rasheed, Federal Minister States and Frontier Regions (Safron) and Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa.

Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa, while briefing a delegation of foreign journalists today, said that during ground operation in Miranshah security forces recovered a huge IED making factory.

"In the factory, security forces recovered 225 explosive-filled-cylinders (80-100 kg each), 150 empty cylinders (under manufacture), 400 prepared pallets inserted with nuts and bolts , 700 explosive-filled prepared pipes (pipe bombs), training literature, physical training facility, other facilities for cutting and welding of pipes, and 10 anti-tank mines", DG ISPR told media.

A military official said the region had become a hub of terrorists groups and sanctuaries, adding that writ of the government would be established in the North Waziristan by eliminating all terrorists and their network during the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb operation.

Answering a question about Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Mullah Fazalullah, the military official said Pakistan had requested Afghanistan through political and diplomatic channels to take action against TTP hideouts in Kunar and Nooristan provinces but action was still awaited.

Both civil and military top officials also made it clear that NW territory would not be allowed to be used for terrorist activities.

Security personnel ambushed in NWA
Two security personnel were killed and another injured in a militant attack on a security forces' vehicle in Mirali tehsil of North Waziristan Agency, as the ground offensive launched by the military a day earlier continues.

Military sources confirmed that two soldiers have died and another injured in the ambush carried out in the area between Kajori and Ippi villages in North Waziristan tribal region.

The security forces' convoy was fired upon from an elevated position.

Secuirty personnel cordoned off attack site as a search for the attackers went underway.

376 suspected militants have been killed while 19 others surrendered to authorities since the operation commenced two weeks earlier, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR)'s latest tally.

The ISPR had said that 61 suspected hideouts had also been destroyed, while 17 soldiers of the military have reportedly died during the ongoing operation.

The fighting prompted the exodus of the civilian population of North Waziristan and more than 450,000 internal displaced persons (IDPs) were registered at Saidgai point set up by authorities at FR Bannu.

North Waziristan is one of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions along the Pak-Afghan border and is rife with Taliban militant activity.
