Hizb ut-Tahrir did previously forewarn the Ummah that whenever US and the traitor rulers of Pakistan plan to start an operation in the Tribal belt, they always start a string of bomb-blasts and terrorist attacks just days before the operation.  We have already seen such examples in the form of attack on Islamic University and the Parade Lane Mosque in Rawalpindi as well as video of lashing of a young girl in Swat. The day US ordered Pakistan to attack North Waziristan, people with political wisdom were mentally prepared that a string of bomb blasts in major cities will erupt soon. Not only this, after the start of the military operation, people have to go through another hell – the fake electricity crisis.  The objective behind this crisis is to keep the masses in the dark so that they may not know the plight of hundreds of thousands of people who are displaced by the operation or the hundreds who will eventually die because of aerial bombardment.  Even today 1.3 million Muslims including women, children and the elderly from Swat and South Waziristan are homeless and are forced to live in camps.  But the “independent media” is not ready to show these atrocities to the world!!  Where are those secular people who used to claim that if they are allowed to conduct an operation in Swat they would uproot terrorism from Pakistan?  Where are those intellectuals who tirelessly argued that all acts of terrorism lead to South Waziristan and once a cleanup operation is conducted there, Pakistan would be turned into a ‘heaven on earth’?  In fact, one by one, America has managed to put whole of the Tribal Area on fire.  America knows that if she has to stop the sincere Jihadi elements of Pakistan from crossing over to Afghanistan as well as secure her supply lines, she will have to make Pakistani army and security institutions fight against the Jihadies.  As a result neither the army would be able to undertake its real responsibility of ejecting US from the region nor the sincere Muslims of Pakistan be able to go to Afghanistan to do Jihad against the Americans.  This is how America has made herself secure by making Muslims fight Muslims.  Hizb ut-Tahrir demands from the people of power and the people of wisdom that they must understand this American conspiracy and immediately abandon this American war otherwise this fire will burn whole of Pakistan.  Moreover, this is the responsibility of the Army that it should liberate the masses from these usurping agent rulers and give Nusrah (material support) to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah which will kick-out America from the region and unify the Ummah under a single Ameer (ruler).
