Taking a look at the map in the BBC piece linked by Wilf here, I noticed Kurram Province (Agency) sticking out like a sore thumb; and that it was not mentioned by MG Abbas:

In the capital, Islamabad, on Thursday, Maj Gen Abbas, head of public relations for the Pakistan army, told the BBC: "We are not going to conduct any major new operations against the militants over the next 12 months.

"The Pakistan army is overstretched and it is not in a position to open any new fronts. Obviously, we will continue our present operations in Waziristan and Swat."
What's interesting about Kurram is that the Pakis were conducting operations in Kurram last month, Pakistani troops kill 15 militants in Kurram Agency.

And, of course, Kurram made the news in Feb 2009 (FP one of many), Tuesday Map: Osama bin Laden's current location.

For all the tea leaf readers
