Pakistani paramilitary forces have completed their preparation for another operation in the border areas of Balochistan. Our sources tell us that since Balochistan is close to the Waziristan areas, it is feared that many fighters escaped from Waziristan to the border areas of Balochistan. For that, security forces have started arriving in the districts of Zhob and Qila Safiullah. Some helicopters are flying over the areas to assess how the operation will go on. Zhob and Qila Safiullah are known as Taliban strongholds, and it is feared that the fighters from Waziristan are now heading towards that area.
The deaths of 70 innocent civilians in the recent fighting in South Waziristan has been confirmed by the Grand Tribal Jirga. The representatives of Mahmnd Agency said that 70 civilians were killed by gunship helicopters. The majority of the dead were women and children. Also, the tribes disclosed that some of the âterroristsâ that were arrested by the Pakistani government were actually students of schools and colleges.
According to sources, it has been learned that the Americans have decided not to leave the Shebaz Airbase in Jacobabar. They now plan to stay on now for unspecified time. It was reported that Americans were planning to leave the base with in a month however this now appears not to be the case. Most of the soldiers stationed there, who numbered in thousands have already left, and only few hundred remain who have been waiting for orders to pull out.
All of their heavy equipment and trailers and other equipment were donated to a company that had helped the Americans set up the base. But after the heavy fight in Waziristan agency, they have decided to keep that base open. Now, C-130 planes have started arriving at night to deliver soldiers and equipment. That base was a major base for operations launched against Taliban government. The dead servicemenâs bodies too are kept in the freezer room of this base. The American soldiers do not venture out of the base for fear of attacks. |
