Operation Zarb-e-Azb | Updates, News & Discussions.

Seems like they had trouble clearing Datakhel !
If we are making deals again wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of the operation??
What makes us think that this Maulvi Qaleem guy wouldn't back off once the heat dies down !
Its due to heavy casualties in Tirah valley and intense battles there. The deal with Malvi Halim would be temporary i guess ,to concentrate more on Tirah where Taliban are offering pitched battles. NW was piece of cake, real and decisive battle is fought in the Tirah.

NW's terrain is relatively flat and barren except shawal valley. Tirah's has forested hills, thats why battles there are tough ones.

Guys, note that Alan Warnes tweeted above while visiting Shahbaz Air Base.
I have also learned today from a very reliable source that the Block-52s are being used extensively in this operation and their performance and success has been beyond expectations. In the person's own words, ''PAF is astonished by the mission accomplishments of this aircraft''.

PESHAWAR: Military aircraft pounded hideouts in North Waziristan and Khyber agencies on Saturday, killing 44 suspected militants, among them many foreigners, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

In a statement it said that precision strikes were carried out in the Dattakhel area of North Waziristan and Tirah valley of the Khyber Agency.

Sixteen militants were killed in strikes on hideouts in the Dattakhel area, it said. Many foreigners were among the dead.

In air strikes carried out in Tirah valley by fighter jets and helicopter gunships, 28 suspected militants were killed and many others injured, the ISPR said.

A number of militant sanctuaries in Rajgul and Kando Gharebi areas of Kukikhel territory, under the control of Taliban since 2009, were destroyed in the strikes.

Security officials said that soldiers had taken control of Mehraban Kalay, Mailay Kalay, Thore Darra, Brekh Mamath, Zarmanza, Tangu, Khaisth and Dwa Thoe after forcing militants of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to flee the areas.

They said that security personnel were now engaged in ground fighting with men of the TTP, Lashkar-i-Islam (LI) and Jamaatul Ahrar in Shah Nao area, close to the Afghan border.

They added that troops were now in effective control of the Sipah, Akkakhel and Kamarkhel areas which were under the control of LI for almost a decade.

The officials’ claims about the death of a large number of militants could not be verified from independent sources, however.

The security forces launched Zarb-i-Azb and Khyber-II military operations in the troubled tribal agencies last year.

Security officials said a noose had been tightened around terrorists and large swathes of territory in North Waziristan Agency and Bara sub-division of Khyber Agency had been cleared of the militants.

Pakistan Military Says Strikes Kill 44 Suspected Militants

Pakistan's military says airstrikes have killed 44 suspected militants in the tribal region near the Afghan border.

A statement Saturday said 28 suspected militants were killed when jets struck hideouts in the Tirah Valley of the Khyber tribal region. It said separate strikes in the Datta Khel area of NorthWaziristan killed 16 suspected militants, most of them foreigners.

The statement gave no other details. The information could not be corroborated as journalists are barred from working in tribal areas. Activists and locals have said previous strikes killed civilians.

Pakistan's military is in the middle of an operation to clear the tribal regions of militants. The offensive took on a new urgency in December, when Taliban militants attacked an army-run school in Peshawar, killing 150 people, mostly children.
