HANGU: At least 103 suspected Taliban militants, among them five local commanders, were killed and 40 others injured on Sunday in the bloodiest day since paramilitary troops launched a full-scale operation in Orakzai agency on March 24.

Ten hideouts and ammunition dumps of Taliban insurgents were also destroyed in air raids by helicopter gunships and warplanes in the north of Orakzai Agency, officials said. At least 70 Taliban fighters were killed and 40 wounded when warplanes bombed a training camp in the Dabori sub division of Orakzai. The dead included five local Taliban commanders – Ajmair Mullah, Yaseen Asghar, Lahl Zada and Qeemat Khan.

On another front, helicopter gunships and jet fighters pounded the headquarters of militant commanders Maulana Wahab and Commander Mashal in Khadizai, Mamozai, Zakhtan and Alikhel areas. Some 33 militants are said to have been killed while ten important bases, ammunition dumps and five vehicles were destroyed in the blitz.

Military sources claim that most of the dead were Uzbek and local militants from the groups of slain militant commander Baitullah Mehsud and Tariq Afridi. Mehsud’s loyalists control the Waziristan tribal region, while the Tariq Afridi group holds sway over Khyber Agency. The sources also claim that militants have suffered heavy losses during the last 24 hours and now they are fleeing the region. The military’s claim cannot be verified independently because journalists are not allowed to enter the region.

Khadizai and Mamozai are heavily forested areas between Khyber and Orakzai agencies and are used as a hiding place by Taliban insurgents. The difficult terrain makes the area almost inaccessible by road. Hundreds of paramilitary troops, backed by heavy artillery and air power, moved into Orakzai Agency on March 24 following reports that militants fleeing a military operation in South Waziristan were regrouping in the region. According to an official tally, more than 800 militants have been killed ever since. Fighting intensified after militants mounted attacks on security forces in the Dabori area which was already secured by troops.

KALAYA: Over 100 militants, including four commanders, were killed and their seven hideouts destroyed when jet fighters blitzed targets in upper parts of Orakzai Agency on Sunday, official and tribal sources said.

The sources said the jet fighters bombed the hideouts of militants in Ghundi Tal, Kot Killay and Ghotak areas, leaving 38 militants dead and 40 wounded. The slain militants included four commanders identified as Lalzada, Hussain Asghar, Maulana Qeemat Khan and Zahid Khan. The jet fighters also targeted training centres run by militant commander Hafiz Saeed, Gul Zaman, Maulana Wahab and Mashal.

The sources said 33 militants were killed and their five vehicles destroyed in the intense bombing in Mamozai, Khadezai, Zakhtan and Alikhel areas. The sources said the jet fighters also targeted a compound where several injured militants were under treatment.

“Over 100 militants were killed in today’s (Sundayís) action,” the sources added. Independent sources based in the area said the dead included some foreign militants and Tariq Afridi-led fighters of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Orakzai Agency.

The insurgents were fleeing the upper parts of Orakzai Agency as repeated bombardment had broken the command and control system of the insurgents operating in the area, the sources said.:tup:

The Pakistan Army had launched a military operation against the TTP-led insurgents in the area since the end of March 2010. So far the Army has cleared lower and central parts of Orakzai Agency while similar action is in progress in the upper areas:pakistan:.

Over 100 militants killed in Orakzai blitz

Wel done boys motherland is proud of you, we got such nice and braave men go and kill all of them. Pakistan Zindabad, Pak fauj tuje mera salam.
Ae watan tuj per jaan bi qurban
 
:pakistan:yeah! wayy to go PA and PAF!!!
make good use of that amunition!!!
 
103 is Fair, but 1003 would have been good and 10003 would be excellent. They only understand gun talk and that is what they will get.:pakistan::sniper:
 
The numbers speak of a very fierce battle in this area.
I hope the terrorist back is broken for good here within this month.

If and when the Militants are defeated in Orakzai then it shall really go a long way in securing Peshawar, Kohat and Nowshehra from the insurgent's blitz.
Slowly North Waziristan is being encircled by PA, it is best that we cover it from all directions before going in for those sitting in NWA.

May Allah bless our troops for their sacrifice and the innocent people who have been suffering terribly at the hands of these terrorists.
