Basically most of the suicide bombers for Pakistan and Afghanistan (TTP and Haqqani network) were traced to north waziristan. The central headquarters of both haqqani network and TTP were there.Best wishes to Pakistan's armed forces, take out all those scumbags.
Can some one please write a brief on the operation till now? What objectives are achieved? How much does it take to drive out all the terrorists from NWA?

Zarb-i-Azb: Two more militant strongholds cleared in NWA
By Dawn.com
Updated about 10 hours ago
ISLAMABAD: After Miramshah, two important villages of North Waziristan Boya and Degan, which were known to be strongholds of local and foreign militants, have been cleared by Pakistani armed forces.
“Consolidation of Boya and Degan is in progress,” said a press release issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday.
This information, however, could not be independently verified.
Terrorists are being eliminated and dislodged from their bases in North Waziristan as the operation progresses as per plan, said the statement.
The press release said that house to house search in Mussaki, Hurmez and Mirali Bazar was being carried out by integrated group of forces.
Terrorists holed up inside Mirali and surrounding areas have been firing rockets and mortars and using heavy machine guns and sniper rifles, said the statement, adding that four terrorists were killed during an exchange of fire last night.
According to ISPR, 12 IEDs were neutralised last night alone, while an IED making factory, huge cache of arms and ammunition and foreign currency were also recovered.
Corps Commander Lieutenant General Khalid Rabbani also visited Mirali, Boya and Degan areas of North Waziristan Agency earlier today and met with the Army troops.
Relief work
Meanwhile, distribution of relief items for IDPs continues at Bannu, D I Khan and Tank. 1,33,002 ration packs have been distributed so far. The statement said that 1639 tons of rations has been collected so far at 59 relief donations points established by Pakistan Army across the country and transported to Bannu.
It said about 30,000 patients have been treated at the Field Medical Hospital established at Khalifa Gul Nawaz Hospital Bannu by the Army.
About 16,060 cattle have also been provided veterinary treatment, while 40,278 cattle and 5,66,393 poultry have been vaccinated.
Nearly a million people have fled the offensive in North Waziristan, which is aimed at wiping out longstanding militant strongholds in the area, which borders Afghanistan.
Tens of thousands of families have left for the town of Bannu, close to North Waziristan, while hundreds more have moved further afield to the towns of Lakki Marwat, Karak and Dera Ismail Khan since the Operation Zarb-i-Azb began in mid-June.
Drone kills 15 Punjabi Taliban, Uzbeks

PESHAWAR: The army said on Saturday that it had begun consolidating its control of Boya and Degan after clearing the two villages in North Waziristan of local and foreign militants.
The Inter Services Public Relations said in a statement that “consolidation of Boya and Degan is in progress”.
Boya and Degan, once militant redoubts, lie 30km to the west of Miramshah, North Waziristan’s headquarters.
Corps Commander Lt Gen Khalid Rabbani visited Mirali, Boya and Degan on Saturday and met troops busy in the operation, the ISPR said.
The visit coincided with a US drone strike in Dattakhel, 45km west of Miramshah, that killed 15 militants, a number of them said to be Punjabi Taliban.
Control of Boya, Degan being consolidated
Locals said the drone fired four missiles into a compound in Ismailkhel village in Macha Madakhel at 2am, killing 15 militants, 10 of them from Punjab, while five were Uzbeks affiliated with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The area is just three kilometres from the Pak-Afghan border.
But a security official said that six missiles were fired at the compound, which also hit two vehicle-borne IEDs. Most of those killed were Punjabi Taliban, he added.
‘REAL CHALLENGE’: According to locals, the “real challenge” for the ground offensive would begin beyond the militant-infested Dattakhel, which has seen four drone strikes since the launch of Operation Zarb-i-Azb on June 15, including the one on Saturday.
Locals said most of the militants had fled to the thickly-forested, mountainous Shawal Valley before the military operation. “Some of them might still be hiding here and there, but most have melted away,” one resident said.
After consolidation, the military plans to move towards Dattakhel. The area cleared so far was under the control of militant commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who once had a peace agreement with the government. No one knows where he is now, but some security officials say he has taken refuge in Ghariom, on the boundary with South Waziristan.
It is after Dattakhel, local residents warn, when the real challenge to the military would come from militants holding out in Madakhel, Alwara Mandi and all the way up to Shawal Valley. “It’s not going to be easy,” one villager cautioned. So far the military has been relying on F-16s to knock out hideouts in Shawal.
The military said soldiers were carrying out house-to-house search in Mussaki, Hurmaz and Mirali bazaar in what once was a militant hotbed. “Terrorists holed up inside Mirali and surrounding areas have been carrying out attacks by firing rockets, mortars and heavy machineguns,” it said.
It claimed to have killed four militants in exchange of fire in Mirali on Friday night and having neutralised 12 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and discovered a bomb-manufacturing factory, huge cache of arms and ammunition and foreign currency.

Pakistan condemns US drone strike
By The Newspaper's Staff Reporter
Published about 4 hours ago
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has condemned the US drone strike near Miramshah in North Waziristan in which several people were killed on Saturday.
“Pakistan regards such strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. As has been made clear on earlier occasions also, these strikes have a negative impact on the government’s efforts to bring peace and stability in Pakistan and the region,” the ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement.
This was the second drone attack in the area this week.
Drone strike kills eight suspected militants in North Waziristan
Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam had refused to comment on an impression that the US strikes had a tacit approval of Pakistan, saying the country’s position on the issue was very clear.
Pakistan keeps on protesting against US drone strikes which have been targeting militants in its tribal areas close to the border with Afghanistan since 2004, terming them a violation of its sovereignty. The country has said on many occasions that these strikes have a negative impact on its efforts to bring peace to the region.
The US had suspended drone strikes for around six months when Pakistan was pursuing peace talks with the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan but resumed the attacks last month after the dialogue remained inconclusive.

Pakistan Army ate bribe/bheek money from USA in shape of Coalition Support Fund. Its covered all across news media. One tranche came in Feb, 2014. Another came just the day before Pakistan Army started this current military operation, without the consent or approval of the wrongfully corrupt elected government chosen by the masses in Pakistan.
This Army is NOT The army of Islam, of Muslims of Pakistan anymore. It is ARMY of bayghairat, who are afraid of dying, who eat bribe/bheek money from foreigners just like politicians they point fingers to.
They NEVER allowed USA, NATO (run by USA) or any others to set foot or gain foothold, or military/air foothold inside Afghanistan till Mr. Zia's era.
Yet they fight "war on terror" for non-Muslims AGAINST MUSLIMS, bowing down to them against one phone call in Mr. Musharraf's era. Such bravery, eh ?
They take bribe/bheek money from non-Muslims in shape of Coalition Support Fund. Which is public news. Its all over the news media. Yet, they are the "pure"
LAANAT HAI PAKISTAN ki current ARMY aur us k andar AIK AIK FAUJI PAR. CHULLOO BHAR PANI MAI DOOB K MAR JAEN YE KANJAR, HARAMI, ZANI, RISHWAT-KHOR, POWER K PEECHE ANDHE LOAG. APNAY colonel, Brigadier BAN'NE K LIYE MASOOM LOAGO'N KO QATAL KARNE WALAY. IN KO KYA PATA JIHAD KYA HAI. SHAHEED HONA KYA HAI. DEEN KA KAAM KARNA KYA HAI

I really feel sorry for u bro... I know how bad Talibans are being kicked right now and I understand ur feelingsConstitution of USA notes USA as a "corporation". USA is not even a "state" or "nation state" in "legal" "terms".

They sold Pakistan's military, air bases to USA for "war on terror". They "allowed" USA, NATO, Zionists, their supporters to establish military, air bases inside Afghanistan.
According to Robert Gates's book "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War", Pakistan gave USA support on 88 points.
They are making life much much harder for Muslims. In haramiyo'n ko sirf aik cheez ati hai, goli marna. in k sar mai bhoosa bhara hua hai. DEEN ka pata nahi hai. DEEN parhhte likhte nahi hain. DEEN kya parhhna hai, waise hee jahil loag hain. Normal study bhi pata nahi karte hain k nahi. Aam fauji ne to shaed formal education bhi hasil nahi ki. us ko kya samajh hai k REAL LIFE mai kya ho raha hai. Us ko kya pata hai k us ka commander us ko DEEN k khilaf, Musalmano'n k khilaf kaise istemal karta hai.
They take bribe/bheek money from non-Muslims in shape of Coalition Support Fund. Which is public news. Its all over the news media. Yet, they are the "pure". I should laugh on this. My Army, my nation's Army has turned to be the DOG of non-Muslims right in-front of me.

And u think attacking churches and blowing up your self inside a bazaar full of people is islamic??
What taliban do is fissad fil arz... and clear quranic verse suggests they should b killed mercilessly. No prisoners should b taken.
Only fault i see of pak army is they give them rights under law and trial.
These bastards must b killed as per sharia and done quickly

Just sympathizing with these khwarjite bitches and spreading there propoganda ...justifying and glorifying murder of innocent. ..
Glorifying suicide which is haram
Defaming islam should also carry death penality....as per sharia....
O wow ?
Why don't you ASK WHY they do that ?
Do you think this happened BEFORE Pakistan Army got Pakistan entangled into USA's "war on terror" ?
Do you even know what Pakistan Army, Pakistan Govt have been doing in north western area of Pakistan ?
Your sole source of information seems to be the mainstream media. What the mainstream media doens't show, you don't know
Let me bring to light some facts.
(1) The people of FATA have been living under this HAIWANI army's law called FCR for decades. They haven't been brought in the mainstream Pakistan. They are denied basic human rights. They are denied the means from Pakistan to improve their lives
(2) Since Swat came under Pakistan or became part of Pakistan, Pakistan has denied them "justice" through the court of law or any "civilized" means. This has been going on since 80s, as far as I know. Could be happening since before that. What happened when masses are denied justice over a period of decades ? Their conflicts, even petty conflicts don't get resolved. When a human being looses everything, and has nothing left to loose, and has NO HOPE of getting justice for HIIMSELF, his family, he LOOSES it. Get it ?
Is it not great to clear your mess but bill it to others?
