The above casualty figures does not differentiate between the deaths in anti-pasthun operations and the deaths in anti-taliban operations.
There are many wars being fought in the Pakistan right now. In the North West Frontier Province(NWFP) the local tribals want independence from the punjabi domination and therefore their attacks are against the punjabi officers and soldiers of pakistan army.
Right after the Lal Masjid massacres, the majority of the girl students killed there were from the NWFP, an SSG (special security group) commando of ethnic pasthun descent blew himself in regimental mess at Tarbela killing several officers to avenge the deaths of the pasthun girls killed at the hands of the punjabi soldiers.
The SSG commando was neither an talibani or an al-qaeda type. The deaths that occurred here was not due to the War on Terror but an insurgency that is continuing in pakistan. This was part of the pasthun or pathan independence movement which wants independence from paksitan.
Another war is against the paki taliban who have already formed an emirate of wazirstan with so-called "peace deals" being signed between this group and the pakistani authorities.
I even doubt if pakistan wants to fight the Taliban. How can one explain the meek surrender of 200 well armed pakistani military soldiers to 20 lightly armed talibanis. Until taliban remains an threat the american aid keeps pouring in. Once it is neutralised pakistan will be another forgotten islamic ghetto.
