Comment on Activity: Tensions between the local tribes and IMU heightened in early March 2007 when IMU tried to assassinate a tribal elder in a village near the city of Wana. The event sparked a clash in which at least 17 people were killed. Two weeks later fighting again flared when IMU allegedly killed an Arab militant commander connected to Nazir. The tribal leaders and Nazir gave IMU an ultimatum; disarm or leave the region. When IMU did not comply, heavy fighting erupted around Wana. Four days later, when over 100 people had been killed, local Taleban leaders managed to negotiate a ceasefire. However, the truce broke down seven days later, and the fighting intensified once again. The tribesmen stated that they were not interested in negotiations but instead would fight until all Uzbek militants had left the region. Nazir and other leaders in the region called on tribesmen in surrounding villages to join in, and around 5000 people gathered in Wana to enlist for the battles. IMU was defeated in mid-April 2007 and fled to North Waziristan.
