Mamozai area of Kurram region is seen as stronghold of Taliban, who in recent times have inflicted heavy casualties on the government forces, kidnapping and killing scores of mainly paramilitary soldiers.
The military launched an offensive in Kurram in July 2011 and declared victory about a month later, but violence has continued.
A similar process has taken place throughout Pakistain's semiautonomous tribal region along the Afghan border. The military has launched a series of operations against the Pak Taliban in the past few years, and has often declared victory only to see fighting flare up again. The Pak Taliban have killed thousands of people throughout the country in suicide kabooms and other attacks. The group aims to topple the Pak government, partly because of its alliance with the United States.
