Daily Times quoting an intelligence reports warned on December 8 that the al Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are planning to carry out attacks at the Karachi’s hospitals and the airport to “avenge Operation Rah-e-Nijat”. The reports stated that the Taliban could strike in the guise of patients or Haj pilgrims. A communiqué sent by the Interior Ministry’s National Crisis Management Cell to provincial authorities warned that Taliban could also use improvised explosive devices (IED) and suicide attacks against foreigners in Karachi. A letter issued by Sindh Special Home Secretary Collin Kamran Dost to Inspector General of Police Sallahuddin Khattak quoted intelligence sources as saying that the Taliban’s possible targets could be US citizens, people associated with American projects and guests staying at hotels, and US diplomats and employees working for foreign non-governmental organisations. According to another communiqué, the TTP plans to target hospitals and airports, while posing as patients in wheelchairs and as pilgrims arriving in the city after Haj. Moreover, the Taliban are likely to use vehicles covered with garlands – such as the ones used in wedding processions – to carry suicide bombers and explosives to the areas they seek to target.

Daily Times quoting a Senior Police Official on December 23 reported that several militants of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), who were hiding and fighting in the tribal areas of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), have reached Karachi to carry out terrorist activities during Muharramul Haram. A senior police official, on condition of anonymity, told Daily Times that militants affiliated with LeJ, who were fighting against Security Forces in Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu and Waziristan, have come to Karachi to evoke sectarian violence in the city. “They plan to carry out suicide bombings and target killings,” the officer said. “These militants want to show their strength to the law enforcers and intelligence agencies, and they also want to take revenge of the killings of their leaders and workers in the last couple of months in the city.” A source said as many as 13 high-profile militants of LeJ had been killed in different acts of violence, which resulted in them taking revenge. It is believed that the prime target of the militants would be the main processions and Majalis-e-Azza held in various parts of the city during the first ten days of Muharram, the source added.

A roadside bomb blast injured at least 26 persons soon after a procession of mourners passed the Khalifat Chowk in Paposh Nagar Police Station area in North Nazimabad Town of Karachi on December 26, according to Daily Times. Karachi Capital City Police Officer Waseem Ahmed said that it seemed that a remote controlled device was used to detonate the bomb that weighed around half a kilogramme. "Twenty-six people, including two rangers personnel and two Policemen were wounded and taken to hospital. Six of them have been discharged while others may be released soon," the Police chief said. Ahmed added the bomb was placed close to a car parked on the road, adding that from now on, the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) would check all procession routes beforehand. BDS Assistant Sub-Inspector Abdul Rauf confirmed that around half a kilogramme of explosives was used along with ball bearings, nuts and bolts, which also caused cracks in the ground around the blast site. Sindh Police Criminal Investigation Department Senior Superintendent of Police Fayyaz Khan said that it was likely that the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) outfit and other anti-Shia elements might have carried out the attack.

A suicide bomber on December 28 targeted Pakistan's largest procession of Shiite Muslims on their holiest day of Ashura, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 63 persons, according to Dawn. The blast sparked riots in Karachi, the financial capital, where angry mourners went on the rampage, throwing stones at ambulances, torching cars and shops and firing bullets into the air. Tens of thousands of Police and paramilitary forces, fearing militant attacks on Ashura processions were deployed. “The blast was so huge that I felt my hearing had gone, but then I started hearing cries of injured people and saw pieces of human flesh and blood on the road,” said Abbas Ali, 35, one of the mourners thrown to the ground. Interior Minister Rehman Malik blamed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), against which the Army has been waging a major operation in near the Afghan border, and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), another of most feared Islamist networks. “At least 30 people have been killed so far in the suicide attack and 63 others have been injured,” Provincial Health Minister Saghir Ahmed told AFP. “We have declared emergency at all hospitals in Karachi and doctors are making every effort to save the injured. The situation is very grim,” he added. Mohammad Ali Jinnah Road, where the attack happened, was ablaze with burning cars and motorcycles, and covered in debris from buildings attacked by rioters, said an AFP correspondent. This attack was the deadliest in Karachi since a suicide bomber targeted the homecoming of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto -- who was assassinated two months later -- killing at least 139 people in October 2007. It was the third attack on Ashura commemorations in Pakistan in 2009. However, The News put the death toll to 40.

The year 2009 proved to be another bloody year of the decade for media in Pakistan in which 10 journalists, in 163 cases of direct attacks on media, paid the ultimate price of practicing a difficult trade in the backdrop of rising terrorism and militancy and were killed in the line of duty, according to Dawn. Of these 10 journalists, four were killed in Punjab, three in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and one each in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Balochistan and Islamabad, according to the annual research on the state of media in Pakistan, released on December 30 by Intermedia, a Pakistani media development organisation that focuses on media research, advocacy and training. The total 163 cases included murders, assaults, abductions, explicit threats, censorship cases and attacks on media properties and establishments. Punjab bore the brunt of these attacks with 54 cases and the NWFP a close behind with 52, while Islamabad was the surprise third biggest victim of attacks on media with 28 cases. Sindh recorded 12 attacks, six attacks each were recorded in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and FATA, and three in Balochistan. Ten journalists were kidnapped in 2009, four in NWFP, two in Islamabad and one each in Balochistan, FATA, Punjab and Sindh. The report also documented at least 24 cases of assaults on working journalists across the country, in which 70 journalists were injured — 36 in Punjab, 12 in Islamabad, 10 in the NWFP, seven in Sindh and five in PoK. At least 28 journalists received threats in person or over the phone. Of these, nine journalists were in Islamabad, eight in the NWFP, seven in Sindh, and one in FATA. The Intermedia report also documented at least 35 cases of official gag orders, censorship or restrictions on publication or broadcast in 2009. Of these, the highest number of cases, 23, was in the NWFP, four in Punjab, three in Islamabad and one each in Sindh, Balochistan, FATA and PoK. Ten cases of physical and armed attacks were reported on media property and establishments, exemplified by the suicide attack on the Peshawar Press Club on December 22, 2009. Of these attacks, four were in the NWFP, two each in Fata and Punjab and one each in Islamabad and PoK. “At least 45 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the last five years, several by suspected militants, but this is the first time that suicide squads of terrorists have targeted media persons as a specific, overt target, indicating a dramatic increase in the level of threats facing the media in the country,” Adnan Rehmat, executive director of Intermedia, said.
