US drone attacks killed 700 civilians in 2009, officials say
In 2009, 44 predator strikes carried out by the CIA in the tribal areas of Pakistan struck only five of their intended al Qa'eda and Taliban targets, but more than 700 innocent civilians also died, according to Pakistani authorities. A senior Taliban commander said a suicide bomb attack that killed seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan last week was an act of retaliation against the US drone attacks.
Pakistan's Dawn newspaper reported: "According to the statistics compiled by Pakistani authorities, the Afghanistan-based US drones killed 708 people in 44 predator attacks targeting the tribal areas between January 1 and December 31, 2009.
"For each al Qa'eda and Taliban terrorist killed by US drones, 140 innocent Pakistanis also had to die. Over 90 per cent of those killed in the deadly missile strikes were civilians, claim authorities."
The Wall Street Journal said: "A senior commander connected to the Afghan Taliban and involved with the attack against the CIA that left eight people dead said on Saturday that the bombing was retaliation for US drone strikes in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.
" 'We attacked this base because the team there was organising drone strikes in Loya Paktia and surrounding area,' the commander said, referring to the area around Khost, the city where the US facility was attacked. The commander, a prominent member of the Afghan insurgency, spoke on the condition of anonymity.
"The suicide attack, which dealt the biggest loss to the agency in more than 25 years, killed a woman who was the station chief along with six other CIA officers and one private security contractor.
" 'We attacked on that particular day because we knew the woman who was leading the team' was there, the commander said."
ABC News reported the suicide bomber was a regular CIA informant who had visited the same base multiple times in the past, according to someone close to the base's security director.
"The informant was a Pakistani and a member of the Wazir tribe from the Pakistani tribal area North Waziristan, according to the same source. The base security director, an Afghan named Arghawan, would pick up the informant at the Ghulam Khan border crossing and drive him about two hours into Forward Operating Base Chapman, from where the CIA operates.
"Because he was with Arghawan, the informant was not searched, the source says. Arghawan also died in the attack.
"The story seems to corroborate a claim by the Taliban on the Pakistani side of the border that they had turned a CIA asset into a double agent and sent him to kill the officers in the base, located in the eastern Afghan province of Khost.
"The infiltration into the heart of the CIA's operation in eastern Afghanistan deals a strong blow to the agency's ability to fight Taliban and al Qa'eda, former intelligence officials say, and will make the agency reconsider how it recruits Pakistani and Afghan informants."
The Financial Times said: "The attack was linked by some US officials to a militant network created by Jalaluddin Haqqani, a legendary Afghan warlord widely believed to be close to Taliban militants while also maintaining ties with Pakistan's security and intelligence establishment.
"After Thursday's attack, Pakistan's security officials have moved to distance the country from any links to the Haqqani network but have also warned against an escalation in attacks by pilot-less US drones on the country's territory.
" 'If the Americans step up the attacks at what they suspect are locations of Haqqani's men inside Pakistan, that would be a risky step,' one security official in the provincial city of Peshawar told The Financial Times. 'The Americans can not simply go by assumptions. First, all the facts must be ascertained.'"
The Sunday Times added: "Although Chapman was officially a camp for civilians involved in reconstruction, it was well-known locally as a CIA base. Over the past couple of years, it focused on gathering information on so-called high-value targets for drone attacks, the unmanned missile planes that have played a growing role in taking out suspected terrorists since President Barack Obama took office. The Haqqanis were their principal target.
" 'That far forward they were almost certainly from the CIA's paramilitary rather than analysts,' said one agent.
"The head of this intelligence-gathering operation was a mother of three. Although the Chapman base chief has not been named, she was described as a loving mother and an inspiration by a fellow CIA mum.
" 'She was a dear friend and a touchstone to all of the mums in CTC [counter-terrorism],' she said.
"Another CIA official said the base chief had worked on Afghanistan and counter-terrorism for years, dating back to the agency's so-called Alec Station. That unit was created to monitor Osama Bin Laden five years before the attacks of September 11, 2001.
"Wednesday's bomb wiped away decades of experience. Eight years into the war, the agency is still desperately short of personnel who speak the language or are knowledgeable about the region.
" 'It's a devastating blow,' said Michael Scheuer, a former agent and head of Alec Station. 'We lost an agent with 14 years' experience in Afghanistan.'"
The Wall Street Journal said: "The bombing is a blow to America's foremost intelligence agency and could, at least temporarily, set back counterterrorism operations in a land where the US continues to struggle.
"The Khost officers were providing key intelligence to the fight against al Qa'eda and the Taliban, former agency officials said. That included running networks of informants into Pakistan and providing support, as nearly all area operations do, to the CIA's drone program that kills high-value targets in Pakistan's tribal regions.
"Previously, the CIA had lost a total of only four officers in Afghanistan, where a cadre of its personnel helped Afghan tribal forces oust the Taliban within weeks of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Thursday's blast brings that toll to 11.
"A number of the dead had been counterterrorism operatives since before the 9/11 attacks.
"Those killed included 'experienced, front-line officers and their knowledge and expertise will be sorely missed,' said Henry A Crumpton, who led the CIA campaign in Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002. Mr Crumpton, who is retired, said the experience of those lost won't be easily regained."

2009 proves the deadliest year with 80 suicide attacks
2009 would be remembered as the year of suicide bombings in Pakistan as 80 terrorists blew themselves up - 20 in Peshawar alone - killing thousands of innocent people and maiming many more, a source told The News.
Also, over 2,227 civilians and around 1,004 security personnel were martyred during terrorist attacks, including bombings and rocket attacks, throughout the country. The reported number of militants killed during the year was over 8,000.
About 49 suicide attacks were carried out in NWFP alone. Statistics revealed that Punjab was the next major target of suicide bombers after NWFP. Twenty-two suicide bombers succeeded to carry out attacks in various parts of Punjab and Islamabad during the last 12 months.
Seven suicide bombings occurred in the federally administered tribal areas (Fata), while two bombers struck in Balochistan. Sindh was spared as there was no suicide bombing there during 2009.
The year 2009 recorded over 33 percent more attacks than 2008. Fifty-nine bombers struck in 2008 and 56 in 2007. The number of such attacks was seven in 2006, four in 2005, seven in 2004 and two each in 2003 and 2002.
January, July and September remained a little peaceful. Nine suicide bombings were carried out across the country during the current month, nine each in October and November, four in September, six in August, four in July, nine in June, seven in May, six in April, seven each in March and February and three in January.
The deadliest suicide attack was the one at Meena Bazaar in Peshawar on October 29 in which over 120 people were killed and 200 were injured. Several people, still missing, are now believed to have been blown to pieces.
The bombing at Parade Lane Mosque in Rawalpindi during the first week of December was another deadly bombing that claimed the lives of several senior military officials, including a major general, two brigadiers and two colonels. The lone son of Corps Commander Peshawar was among several children of the army officers who lost their lives in this attack.
Among the high-profile figures killed during the terrorist attacks in 2009 were two members of the NWFP Assembly. Dr Shamsher Ali Khan was killed in a suicide bombing in Swat last month while Alamzeb Khan was killed in a roadside bomb attack on his car in Peshawar in January.
NWFP Senior Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour survived second suicide attack on him on March 11, which left six people including two suicide bombers dead.
The suicide bombers detonated a vehicle loaded with 100 kilograms of explosives near offices of the capital city police officer (CCPO) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Lahore on March 11, killing at least 27 persons and injuring 326 others. An ISI colonel and 15 police officials were among those killed.
The blast at the entrance to the ISI headquarters on Khyber Road in Peshawar was the most powerful. The bang was heard even in other districts. At least 13 people, including 10 security men, were killed in the attack and the destruction of infrastructure was huge.
The suicide attack on Pearl Continental Hotel in Peshawar on June 9 and the huge blast in Soekarno Square on October 9 were the two other deadly blasts. Over 17 people were killed and over 60 wounded in the bombing in Peshawars lone five-star hotel, prompting foreigners and diplomats to leave the provincial capital. The blast in Soekarno Square left over 55 people killed and many wounded. It was later removed from the list of suicide bombings, and classified as a car bomb.
On June 5, a suicide bomber killed 49 worshippers, including 12 children, at a mosque in a remote village of Dir Upper District. Dozens more were injured as a young man detonated explosives fastened to his body minutes before the Friday congregation in the Hayagay Sharqi village.
Two successive blasts killed around 50 people and injured more than 100 at the crowded Moon Market in Allama Iqbal Town of Lahore in Punjab. The two bombs exploded with an interval of 30 seconds.

2009 deadliest year for Afghan children
Kabul, January 07: A new report indicates that 2009 was the deadliest year for Afghan children since the US led invasion of the country nine years ago.
In a statement, the Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM), a Kabul-based rights group, said that more than 1,050 children have been killed in US airstrikes, roadside blasts, and crossfire between warring parties.
"At least three children were killed in war-related incidents every day in 2009, and many others suffered in diverse but mostly unreported ways," Ajmal Samadi, ARM's director, was quoted by the statement as saying.
Late December, international forces dragged 10 Afghan civilians from their homes and shot them dead in the eastern province of Kunar. Eight of the victims were schoolchildren.
A sharp rise in the number of civilian casualties has also been reported by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
Attacks on schools, aid workers and facilities in Afghanistan have deprived thousands of children of education and health care.
Children rights groups have called on the Afghan government to expand its efforts to minimize the impact of the war on children.
