Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on January 9 Friday that premier intelligence agencies of the United States and Pakistan had been working closely to investigate the multiple terrorist in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, and recently the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had provided a detailed response to questions and issues raised by US investigators on behalf of their Indian counterparts, Dawn reported. “Our ISI has given its feedback, which has been forwarded to India,” he told reporters after addressing a seminar in Islamabad. He gave no details of the contents of the dossier or the response formulated by a committee, but said Pakistan would co-operate if more information was required. He said India had provided a 52-page dossier to the CIA which was passed on to Pakistan. The dossier was also handed over directly by India to Pakistan.

Pakistani Taliban commander Mullah Nazeer Ahmed said in an interview with al Qaeda’s media arm, Al-Sahab, that the Taliban would soon capture Islamabad, Daily Times reported. Pakistani Taliban factions had united and would take their war to the capital, he said. “The day is not far when Islamabad will be in the hands of the Mujahideen,” he declared. He accused the Pakistan Army of sending spies to facilitate US drone strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban, and said Pakistani authorities were misleading the public by saying it was the United States carrying out the attacks. “All these attacks that have happened and are still happening are the work of Pakistan,” he said, according to a transcript of the interview posted on Al-Sahab’s website. Mullah Nazeer Ahmed also blamed the Pakistani military’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency for sowing divisions between factions, saying the ISI was the Taliban’s main enemy.

The military leadership on May 15 told the national political leadership that there was no chance of moving the armed forces from Pakistan’s border with India for their deployment at the western borders, The News reported. In a five-hour-long in-camera briefing to the national leadership at the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad, the military leadership clearly said that no guarantee from the international community could be accepted. According to sources, on the query of PML-N Quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif about the situation at the eastern borders, the military leadership told the political leadership that the United States had asked for the deployment of forces at the Afghanistan border by moving them from the Indian border and was even ready to give guarantees that India would not make any misadventure against Pakistan. But Pakistan rejected the proposal and made it clear that on the issue of national security, it did not trust any kind of international guarantees.

Security Forces (SFs) have completely secured the Sultanwas area of Buner District, overcoming tough resistance and killing 80 militants, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Athar Abbas said in Islamabad on May 20, The News reported. “Since Tuesday morning to the completion of operation before dawn, 80 militants have been killed,” Abbas told a press briefing. However, he said there was no independent confirmation of the casualties due to the ground situation in the area. Sultanwas was the main stronghold of the militants in Buner, where they had made concrete underground bunkers and ammunition dumps. He said six vehicles of the militants, which were under use by terrorists clad in the Elite Force uniform, were also destroyed during the operation. SFs encountered seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the area, which were defused. Abbas said locals had also formed a Lashkar (militia) to flush out the terrorists before the launch of the operation, but the militants had managed to take the control of the area after a suicide attack. The military spokesman said 1,057 militants and 58 SF personnel had been killed in the Swat, Dir and Buner Districts since April 27. He said the foreign nationals arrested so far included Afghans, Uzbeks and Arabs. “The strategy is to kill the maximum number of terrorists. The militant leaders are paying $50 to 60 per day to the fighters,” he said.

Police in Islamabad have arrested a Taliban leader involved in training underage boys of Islamabad seminaries for terrorist activities and suicide bombing, the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Tahir Alam Khan informed a press conference in the national capital on June 1, The News reported. The SSP said Fidaullah was arrested on a tip-off provided by Khairullah and Khurram Shehzad, two terrorists arrested in connection with the attacks on the Frontier Corps Camp. Fidaullah had facilitated the suicide bombers by transporting them to the targeted spots and giving them shelter, he said. Fidaullah alias Abdul Rehman alias Junaid, a resident of village Sawarhi in the Buner District of NWFP, had publicly slaughtered three residents of Swat District in Sultanwas and Pir Baba, separating their heads from their bodies while fighting the Security Forces, the SSP said, adding that he was wanted by security agencies for his involvement in terrorist activities. He had been training youngsters for conducting suicide bombing, he said. Tahir Alam said the suspected terrorist was found involved in brainwashing innocent students of religious seminaries of the capital and sending them to Waziristan for terrorist training in the name of Jihad. Fidaullah has confessed he had set up a terrorist network in the name of Ghazi Force with the support of Taliban militants Niaz Rahim, Habibullah, Ajmal and others. The SSP said Ghazi Force had its centre at a remote hilly area of Jangjo, also called Guljo. Fidaullah recruited and trained students from different seminaries for suicide bombing.

The federal Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, warned of strict action against those challenging the Government’s writ. Speaking to the media at the Parliament House in Islamabad on June 5, Malik said media reports regarding the arrest of TNSM Chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad and the TTP chief Maulana Fazlullah were incorrect. “Neither Maulana Fazlullah has been killed nor he or Maulana Sufi Muhammad were arrested. The Swat Operation is going on and the situation for the return of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) would be clear within next few weeks,” he said. Malik also stated that the SFs arrested some militant commanders and their deputies. He told a questioner that the infrastructure was badly affected in the Operation Zone and daily use items were not available. Consequently, Malik noted that no timeframe for the return of the IDPs can be set.

The Government has, in principle, reportedly decided to launch Operation Rah-e-Nijat against chief of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Baitullah Mehsud and his network in South Waziristan Agency (SWA), as the Pakistan Army has received necessary orders in this regard, a military spokesman said, The News reported. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on June 16, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major General Athar Abbas, said preparatory phase of the decisive operation against the militants was already underway. He said the operation would be taken to its logical end. Abbas refused to share operational and tactical details about the operation with the media, saying it would benefit the terrorists. According to unconfirmed reports, an Uzbek militant, Tahir Yuldash, was injured in recent airstrikes on the hideouts of Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan Agency, sources said. In reply to a question, the ISPR chief said according to a press statement of Baitullah he had a force of around 10,000 militants. He said all the necessary arrangements were being made by the security forces to block escape of militants from the area, where the operation was to be launched.

Pakistan has denied it had agreed to accept the bodies of four of the nine terrorists killed in the terrorist attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 (26/11) as has been claimed by the Home Minister of the State of Maharashtra in India, Times of India reported on August 11, 2009. Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Abdul Basit told Online news agency in Islamabad that reports on this in the Indian media were baseless and fabricated. "He strongly condemned this attitude of the Indian media and said that it was not a suitable time to publish such kind of baseless news items when only very recently the prime ministers of Pakistan and India had held a very important meeting in Sharm El Sheikh while the next course of secretary level dialogue was going to be held in New York on the (sidelines) of the UN General Assembly session," Online stated. Basit also said Pakistan's High Commission in New Delhi had never made any request to India on handing over the dead bodies of four of the 26/11 attackers.

The Interior Minister Rehman Malik termed it a suicide attack and told reporters at the blast site that more attacks could occur in the near future as the terrorist outfits had planned to destabilise the country. “It was a suicide attack, and the bomber, who was wearing the uniform of paramilitary personnel, came inside the premises by taking permission of security guards to use toilet,” the minister said. Rehman Malik said this was a reaction to the military operation against the terrorists in Swat and the FATA. Five days ago, these elements had threatened to retaliate, he said. According to preliminary assessment of the explosive experts, seven to eight kilograms of explosive material was used in the attack, Malik said, adding the explosive material was not pure but mixed. A security alert had been issued about possible attacks by terrorists in the Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad and Balochistan, he added.

The Government has concrete evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism across the country and the issue will be taken up during a round of talks with New Delhi soon, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on December 8, according to Daily Times. Talking to reporters after meeting clerics in Karachi, Malik said militants and weapons were also coming in from Afghanistan, and Pakistan had taken up the issue with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai. He said the Government was working on an action plan for effective surveillance of the Pak-Afghan border, adding that in this regard, biometric checkposts would soon be set up at three points along the border. Malik said al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was not in Pakistan, and if anyone had any information in this regard, he should share it with Islamabad so that the country could take appropriate action. The Interior Minister said religious scholars from all sects had declared suicide attacks against the teachings of Islam, while the Government had also sought the views of clerics from around the world on terrorism. He said the Government would organise a conference on terrorism where scholars from Muslim countries would be invited to give their views on the issue. Malik said he would also meet clerics across the country and in this regard, a meeting had been scheduled in Lahore on December 10.

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.
