Well Sir, this is gonna be a pincer kind of attack, just like swat operation where from multiple directions they came onto the taliban. The mehsud's tribe is sandwiched between the wazir's tribal area. Meaning the wazir are in the tank, jandola & wana areas, but going ahead on this route comes the mehsud tribal area, and when the mehsud tribal area finished again the wazir tribal area comes, this is the miranshah & the afghan border area. So what army has done for the time being is they have completely sealed the routes to the mehsud tribe area, and have provided an alternate route through the gomal zam dam to the wazir tribal people, it by passes the mehsud tribal area.
If army is successful in separating the wazir militants on the miranshah side to not support the mehsud, then army will be coming on the mehsud area from two sides, one from the wana side area and 2nd would be miranshah side area.
So the deployment of forces is specific on both sides.
Plus, the tank, jandola, wana areas have been to a great extend emptied of the mehsud militants due to the local wazir,bhittani & anti-baitullah mehsud militants & security forces action, so now the way is to go forward.
PA is first going for an isolation of the mehsud area, that's why we see the frequency of suicide attacks reduced in cities and even on the security forces in those tribal areas.
very good analysis!
