A spokesman for Nek Mohammad, the most wanted man in South Waziristan, told The News from an undisclosed location that he and his fellow fighters would not surrender. He maintained that there was no cordon despite the military’s claims. He said his men were resisting the army because it had attacked their homes and was killing innocent tribals.

The spokesman, in his rare satellite phone call, denied the presence of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden or Dr Ayman al-Zawahri in the area. He said there were some foreigners there but they were "mujahideen" who in the past had fought for the glory of Islam. He claimed 75 soldiers and militiamen were killed in the fighting and another 12 troops, along with two Tehsildars, were made prisoners. Besides, he said 18 military vehicles were seized and burnt in the fighting.
