The Pakistan army has reiterated that it has no intention of launching an operation in North Waziristan tribal agency, but warned that severe action will be taken if security forces come under attack, local newspapers reported Thursday.

The army's message for the people of the agency was contained in pamphlets dropped from helicopters over the region on Wednesday, said local newspaper DAWN.

The one-page pamphlet in Urdu said that some mischievous elements wanted to sabotage the peace deal reached between the government and the tribal agency on Feb. 17, 2008 and pledged to honor the peace accord despite the unprovoked attacks against its troops..

However, violence continued in the area as three persons, including two women and a child, were killed and six others sustained injuries when military helicopters pounded Madakhel village on Wednesday morning, local newspaper The News reported.

The bombing was in retaliation for the recent attack by the militants on a military convoy in which 30 soldiers were killed and 35 injured.

Taking note of the fears among the terrified tribesmen about an imminent military operation in North Waziristan, the Pakistan army dropped pamphlet to assure them that it had no intention of launching action in their militancy-stricken region, the reports said.
