Lot of good work seems to be happening against CIA/RAW sponsored TTP. And that just not includes military operations in FATA, but also raids against them in bigger cities such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad. Hope to see this continue until none of these guys are left to caught.

"Its sad how things are being reported in the media. Is there no one to question the police ? how about an independent inquiry not by the same police that killed the bolan people.
My question is , what was the target of the suspected bombers??? Why will they blow themselves up when being cornered by only two policemen without giving up a fight given that ak-47's were found on the site. If end result was suicide then it could've been achieved either way. There were witnesses who heard gunshots, if so then which gun was used ? ak47's had shook the whole seaview. Why was the intensity of blast so low that even the guards posted outside village did not hear anything? Why were their families picked up and barred to speak to the media?
My conclusion is that it was police brutality. They were no terrorists, they just did not stop at the checking upon being stopped. Two policemen fired upon them which hit the cng kit and thus the explosion. Later on the incident was covered to protect the incompetence and negligence of the police department.
Moreover, yesterday the rangers killed the man by throwing grenade in his house while trying to go all commando on a innocent civilian. Read the family reports and the hospital reports. The rangers again barred the media from looking at the body. His children were helpless and crying in the apartment . Later the dg rangers changed his statement to "a grenade exploded in his hands" . The question is who did it belong to?"

10 militants killed in Orakzai operation
By Umer Farooq
Published: November 19, 2011
PESHAWAR: Army helicopters targeted militant hideouts in the Upper Orakzai Agency on Saturday and killed 10 militants, reportedly clearing the Dabori area in the tribal belt.
Official sources said that security forces had headed towards the Mamuzai area for the first time since a military offensive had been launched against militants.
The sources added that the militants tried to escape the area in order to avoid being targeted.
“We targeted their hideouts with the help of army helicopters. For now, we are targeting them with aerial shelling and later ground forces will follow,” said officials. “The militants are trying to escape but we are chasing them and wont let them escape.”
Earlier in 2010, Corps Commander Lieutenant General Asif Yaseen Malik, during his visit to the agency, had said that more than 80% of the area had been cleared, including Dabori and Mamuzai areas.
Security forces have killed more than 100 militants in the ongoing operations, where five security personnel, including an official, were killed in different clashes with militants.

Pakistan Army details Mohmand ops
Brian Cloughley - Mohmand Agency, Pakistan
Pakistan Army officers commanding operations in Mohmand Agency have told us that, while the military's focus remains on countering the threat from militants on both sides of the Afghan-Pakistani border, growing emphasis is being placed on building and restoring civilian infrastructure.
Speaking in late October, Brigadier Aftab Ahmed, commander of 77 Infantry Brigade in Mohmand Agency, provided details of Operation 'Brekhna': a three-phase operation from January to September 2011 that sought to clear the agency of more than 1,000 militants.
Brig Aftab said Mohmand, which abuts Afghanistan's Kunar Province, has been economically and socially strangled by the insurgents - predominantly Tehrik-i-Taliban - who have stifled commerce, destroyed more than 60 schools and shattered the authority of the Political Agent: the federal government's representative. One senior army officer noted that, while the media blamed the army for interfering in civilian government, "they want us to go in and sort things out and then take over running the place" in Swat, where the army and paramilitary Frontier Scouts suffered heavy casualties in their defeat of the militants.
According to Brig Aftab, 77 Brigade had considerable air support, integral artillery and tanks for Operation 'Brekhna', although their deployment in altitudes above 5,000 ft had been extremely difficult. In the course of phase two of the operation in the Bohai Dag Sector along the border, 1,671 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were disarmed in a 30 km strip of territory. Nine bomb factories were destroyed as were elaborate tunnel systems, one of which housed a 40-bed hospital with saline drips and other medical equipment. The brigade and the scouts suffered 74 killed and 250 wounded, of whom 47 were victims of IEDs.
While this corrospondent was in Mohmand, two soldiers of 77 Brigade were killed by an attack mounted from Afghanistan's Kunar Province. Brig Aftab said that no International Security Assistance Force or Afghan troops operated between the border and the Kunar River: a region in which there are militant bases.
That prompted another senior officer to say that it was a pity the Americans did not "use some of their bloody drones to strike the bases in Kunar and Nuristan rather than letting them [the militants] come over the border to attack Chitral": a reference to an incursion from Afghanistan in August in which 16 Frontier Scouts were killed.
The US Air Force flies General Atomics MQ-1L Predator and MQ-9 Reaper armed unmanned aerial vehicles to target insurgents in Afghanistan. The CIA is also widely believed to use Predators to target Al-Qaeda and other militants inside Pakistan.

At least 7 militants killed by security forces in Orakzai
Submitted 10 mins ago
Security forces clashed with armed insurgents in Orakzai Agency on Sunday, killing seven suspected militants, a private TV reported.
According to the report, militants attacked an armed forces convoy, injuring a security personnel. Seven militants were killed in retaliatory action by the forces.
Orakzai is one of the most lawless areas in Pakistan’s northwest tribal region, which is made up of seven districts near the Afghan border.
The area is home to supporters of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud.
Security forces launched a major operation in the agency in March last year after militants fled a sweeping offensive in the nearby tribal district of South Waziristan.
