28 more militants killed in North Waziristan operation
2014-07-21
[DAWN] At least 28 murderous Moslems have been killed as jet fighters struck hard boy hideouts in the Shawal tehsil of North Wazoo, the ISPR stated.

An ISPR blurb said that six hard boy hideouts were destroyed in the strikes. The ISPR also said that the dead murderous Moslems include local and imported muscle.

The claims however could not be verified from independent sources.

... headquarters of al-Qaeda in Pakistain and likely location of Ayman al-Zawahiri. The Haqqani network has established a ministate in centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas...
and Mir Ali have escaped to the Shawal valley which stretches across both North and South Waziristan Agency.

Former front man of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) Ehsanullah Ehsan, when contacted by Dawn.com, said that the claims made by the military are exaggerated.

Ehsan claimed the jets were bombing civilians who were being cited as "Lions of Islam killed". This information could not be independently verified.

The media has no access to the agency, making it difficult to verify the claims of either the military or hard boy sources.
