According to the ISPR media update, a known militant commander identified as Ghaniur Rehman has been arrested by the troops during the search and cordon operation. He was allegedly involved in killing police officials. A local elder said there were some 40-50 militants in Bahrain but they fled the town on May 27-evening when they came to know about the arrival of the SFs. “They (Taliban) are avoiding fighting with the security forces now and are running,” he said and added the militants had shifted to Kalam. The elder said the group of Taliban militants in Kalam was commanded by one Khushmir, a resident of Gilgit. He said five militants were killed in a clash in Bahrain. The ISPR said an explosive-laden vehicle was destroyed and two militants were killed at Satal, four kilometers short of Bahrain town. Though there were conflicting reports about casualties in the Satal incident, a man from Kalam claimed that a Taliban commander, identified as Wazifa, had been killed in the clash along with seven other militants. He claimed a ‘deputy commander’ of the militants in the area, Hameedi, confirmed the death of Wazifa. Some residents of Kanju, who managed to reach the provincial capital Peshawar on May 28, said Mingora, Kanju and Kabal towns were almost cleared as the Taliban had vacated these areas. “They have moved towards mountains,” they said. Two militants, according to the ISPR, were killed during an exchange of fire between the Taliban and SFs in Malam Jabba. The SFs also continued action in Peuchar village and carried out cordon and search operations there. The troops also ambushed a group of 15-20 militants at Manodherai and killed three of them while four others were arrested. One soldier sustained injuries in the incident. Further, a convoy of eight Army trucks carrying relief and food destined for Barikot and Mingora was ambushed at Landakay near Barikot. Four soldiers, the ISPR said, were killed in the incident but relief goods were transported safely and distributed among stranded people of Mingora.

Terrorists attacked Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, and its environs on May 28 as eight people were killed and over 68 sustained injuries, The News reported. Two separate blasts took place in the Qissa Khwani bazaar while three Policemen were killed and nine others injured in a suicide attack on a Police vehicle at the Sra Khawra security post on the Kohat road. Two suspected militants were killed and two others arrested in an encounter between the Police and alleged terrorists who had taken shelter in a building located behind Qissa Khwani bazaar soon after the two blasts. The first blast occurred at the congested Kabari bazaar at the back of Qissa Khwani bazaar at 5:40pm.

In the provincial capital, two suspects were killed and six others arrested as Policemen and troops deployed at the Peshawar Corps Commander’s House foiled a terrorist attack in the high security zone on Peshawar’s Khyber Road on June 11, Daily Times reported.

Security Forces (SFs) arrested at least four people during a search operation in the Achini Bala area of Peshawar and parts of Khyber Agency.

Police on July 26 arrested the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad and three other people from his rented house in the Sethi Town area of Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, Daily Times reported. The TNSM chief - who resurfaced on July 25 around two months after Operation Rah-e-Rast was launched against the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan - has been accused of helping the Taliban and sabotaging the Government’s fight against them. Witnesses told Daily Times that around 12 Policemen raided Sufi Muhammad’s house at around 2pm, and arrested the TNSM chief and three others – identified as Rizwanullah, Ziaullah and Tahir. Two of them are said to be Sufi Muhammad’s sons. Addressing a press conference, the NWFP Information Minister Main Iftikhar Hussain confirmed the TNSM chief’s arrest. He said Sufi Muhammad resurfaced “a day ago” and announced a meeting of the TNSM executive council in Malakand – an attempt that could have jeopardised peace efforts in the region. The minister said the arrests had been made to maintain law and order. He said the TNSM’s actions in the past may also be investigated.

Two suicide attackers separately rammed their explosives-laden vehicles into a Police station in Bannu and a military-owned commercial bank in Peshawar cantonment area of the NWFP on September 26, killing at least 23 people and injuring around another 200, officials said, according to Daily Times. At least 10 people were killed in the attack in Peshawar, while seven, including two Policemen, were killed in the assault on the Bannu Police station. But a Police official in Bannu said 13 people had been killed. Authorities said the death toll could rise as many among the injured were in critical condition. Around 94 people were injured in Peshawar and 64, including 31 Policemen, in Bannu. "It was a car suicide blast and according to our calculations 100 kilogram’s of explosives were used," Shafqat Malik, bomb disposal squad chief, told reporters at the incident site of the Peshawar attack. "The suicide bomber sitting inside the car hurled a grenade and then he detonated himself and the car," Malik said, describing the target as a branch of a bank run by an Army welfare trust. Eyewitnesses said Police arrested two suspicious persons from the site of Peshawar blast, which occurred some 300 metres away from the headquarters of the 11 Corps and the US Consulate in the high-security zone.
