Pakistan says S Waziristan offensive over

Al-Qaeda denies killing civilians

AP, Islamabad/ Cairo
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the army has finished its operation against the Taliban in the South Waziristan tribal region but may now pursue militants in another area along the Afghan border.
Gilani said yesterday that the army had driven the Taliban out of South Waziristan, a key battleground in the nation's fight against the Islamist insurgency and the government is discussing taking the battle to Orakzai tribal region.
The Armed forces this year
launched multiple operations across the northwest tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, the stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban and a haven for al-Qaeda fighters and other militants.
"The operation has finished in South Waziristan, now there is a discussion of Liking it to Orakzai agency," Gilani told reporters in eastern city of Lahore.
Pakistan's military has recently launched air strikes at militant targets in Orakzai.
The UN says thousands of people have fled the area.
Orakzai has long been the main base of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud.
Many militants in South Waziristan are believed to have gone to Orakzai.
Al-Qaeda denied on Saturday that it was behind a series of bombings in Pakistan that have killed hundreds of civilians, saying in a new English-language video that such attacks were un-Islamic.
US-bom al-Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn, who commonly delivers the organization's English messages, said the extremist network was being framed by the US and Pakistani intelligence services for the bloodshed.
"The perpetration of such deplorable acts and the pin-
ning of responsibility for them on the Mujahideen, only serves the enemies of Islam and Muslims, who are today staring defeat in the face," he said, also blaming the media for implicating al-Qaeda in the attacks.
"The mercenaries of the ISI, RAW, CIA or Blackwater are the real culprits behind these senseless and un-Islamic bombings," he added.
RAW is the Indian intelli-gence agency, while Blackwater is the private security firm now called Xe Services whose involvement in the killings of Iraqi civilians have tarnished its reputation throughout the Muslim world.
