AF/PAK/IRAQ – MILITARY SWEEP

 

PAKISTAN

 

· It has been revealed that containers delivering supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan via Chaman, are being forced to pay up to 40,000 rupees each. Protesting against the payment of extortion, drivers have sought protection. They say not only the criminals at private check posts but also other check posts including those of police, Levies, Frontier Corps, and customs are extorting huge sums of money from them. They also complained that no protection is being provided to them. That is why they have parked the NATO containers here in protest and have halted supply to Afghanistan for the first time. – Geo



 

· Pakistan’s refusal to attack militants in a notorious sanctuary on its northwest border may have created a magnet there for hundreds of Islamic fighters seeking a safe haven where they can train and organize attacks against NATO forces in Afghanistan.  A growing number of senior United States intelligence and counterinsurgency officials say that by bunching up there, insurgents are ultimately making it easier for American drone strikes to hit them from afar.  With several hundred insurgents largely bottled up there, and with few worries about accidentally hitting Pakistani soldiers battling militants or civilians fleeing a combat zone, the Central Intelligence Agency’s drones have attacked targets in North Waziristan with increasing effectiveness and have degraded Al Qaeda’s ability to carry out a major attack against the United States, the senior officials said.  “In some ways, it’s to our benefit to keep them bottled up, mostly in North Waziristan,” said a senior intelligence official. “This is not intentional. That wasn’t the design to bottle them up. That’s just where they are, and they’re there for a reason. They don’t have a lot of options.”  Another senior administration official added, “We’d still prefer the Pakistani Army to operate in North Waziristan, but consolidating the insurgents in one place is not such a bad thing.”  American intelligence officials say that pressure from the airstrikes has forced small numbers of Haqqani fighters and other militants to slip into other tribal areas, including Kurram and South Waziristan. “The Haqqanis aren’t stupid,” one counterterrorism official said. “They’re feeling some serious pressure in North Waziristan, so it should come as no surprise that they’re looking for places they might think are safer.” - NYT
