The NWFP Senior Minister and Awami National Party leader Bashir Ahmad Bilour survived an assassination attempt that left six persons, including two suspected suicide attackers, dead in Namak Mandi in the provincial capital Peshawar on March 11, The News reported. Four persons, including a young girl, were wounded in the firing, grenade attack and suicide blast. “Bilour and others were coming back after opening a road project when a young man, followed by another, rushed towards him while loudly reciting Allaho Akbar. A security official pushed the attacker back after explosives around his vest did not go off despite his repeated attempts,” said an eyewitness. A nearby shopkeeper said the attacker fell on the ground after which one of them lobbed a grenade at the crowd. Police, he added, also opened fire. A vendor, Tehmash, was killed while constable Himayatullah, a trader, Khalilur Rahman, and a six-year-old were injured in the incident. Even as the attackers managed to flee the Security Force personnel continued to chase them until the attackers forced their entry into the house of an auto-mechanic located around 500 meters from the earlier spot. Police besieged the house and “As the terrorists failed to find any way out, they triggered the explosives around the vest of one of them, killing the two attackers and three members of the family that owned the house,” a Police official said. Bashir Ahmad Bilour told media persons that it was second failed attempt on his life.

At least 11 people were killed and 13 others injured on May 11 in a suicide attack on a camp of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) in the Spina Thana area of Darra Adamkhel, The News reported. The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Darra Adamkhel chapter, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying more suicide attacks would be carried out if the military operation was not stopped in Swat and other parts of the country. Authorities confirmed the killing of nine people, including an FC soldier and a child. Apart from the Frontier Constabulary, the Frontier Corps is also stationed at the camp to jointly curb militancy in the area. Those injured included an FC soldier and five members of a family. 12 shops, a car, a coach and two trailers were also destroyed in the blast. Eyewitnesses said a white double-cabin pick-up narrowly missed the FC camp and went off at the entrance of the military establishment. They said the explosives-laden vehicle was being driven by a young man. Police said around 200 kilograms of explosive material was laden in the car. Spina Thana is located between Matani village of Peshawar and the gun-manufacturing town of Darra Adamkhel.

Police claimed to have foiled a sabotage attempt and defused three explosive devices planted in a car while one of the militants riding the vehicle blew himself up in provincial capital Peshawar on July 1, Dawn reported. Suspected militants were reportedly riding an explosive-laden car and when signaled by the Police to stop on the Kohat road, they lobbed two hand-grenades on the Police that didn’t explode. Senior Superintendent of Police Qazi Jamilur Rehman said the car with around five militants was coming from Darra Adamkhel and armed with automatic weapons they exchanged fire with the Police. “As the police encircled one of them near Mashokhel Mera, he blew himself up,” he said. The others, however, managed to escape. In the car, he said, three types of explosives-manual, timer and remote-controlled devices had been planted which were defused by the Bomb Disposal Squad.

A suicide bomber died on the outskirts of Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, on July 8 when explosives hidden in a mango cart went off before he could reach the intended target – possibly the NWFP Assembly speaker, according to witnesses and Police, Daily Times reported. “The bomber is the only person who died,” senior Police officer Ghulam Muhammad told reporters after the incident in Malkhandher on Nasir Bagh Road. Unconfirmed reports indicated that five people had been injured. Witnesses said that a teenager, aged around 16 years, was waiting near a bridge when his explosives went off. One eye-witness said the explosives had been hidden under mangoes to dodge the troops. The AFP news agency quoted a Police official as saying that the explosives could have gone off prematurely. “We cannot say at this point if it was a suicide blast,” said the Police official. Bomb disposal squad chief Tanveer said the explosives weighed around 20 kilograms and “pieces of a suicide jacket” had been found. Police believe the bomber’s original target was the NWFP Assembly Speaker Karamatullah Chagarmati, who was using the Nasir Bagh Road en route to a funeral. AFP reported that the explosion came minutes after the speaker’s motorcade passed by.

According to Daily Times, two persons were killed and three others injured in a suicide blast in Hayatabad area of Peshawar in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on August 22, Police said. The blast occurred in sector N-I Phase IV of the area near the Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC).Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Coordination Qazi Jamilur Rehman told that it was a remote-controlled device and weighed around five to seven kilograms. He said that the bomb was attached to a vehicle carrying Haji Mubin, a spokesman for the Ansarul Islam (AI), a Khyber Agency-based banned outfit and another member of the organisation. Rehman said Mubin and his fellow passenger were killed along with three passers-by. The AI and the Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) have been fighting each other in Khyber Agency since many months.

Three persons were killed and 15 others sustained injuries in a powerful suicide blast close to the house of the slain Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman, Mobin Afridi, in the Momin Town area of Peshawar, the NWFP capital, on August 23, The News reported. The blast also destroyed four houses and damaged eight others in the street. “Three people, including two women, were killed and 15 others injured when the suicide bomber blew himself up in a street after he ran short of ammunition,” said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Qazi Jamilur Rehman. The bomb disposal squad estimated around eight kilograms of explosives were used in the attack. A large number of ball bearings and nails were also used in the blast to increase its intensity. The SSP said the attack was probably linked to the blast in Hayatabad in the evening of August 22, which killed Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman Mobin Afridi and his associate Haji Khan. The suicide bombers perhaps wanted to attack the house of Mubin, where people had gathered to offer condolence to his brother Sahibzada, who had rushed from Saudi Arabia to attend the funeral, and other members of the family on his death, sources said. The Ansar-ul-Islam cadres opened fire on the attacker, who returned the fire. “During an exchange of fire, the attacker got injured and ran short of rounds, after which he preferred to blow himself up instead of being caught,” said an unnamed Police official. Mobin Afridi was killed, along with his friend, when his car was blown up in Phase-IV, Hayatabad. In 2008, his brother and a former spokesman for the Ansar-ul-Islam, Maulana Mustamim, was also killed.

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. Meanwhile, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the Bannu attack and threatened to unleash bigger attacks on the Government to avenge the killing of their leader Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack in August, AFP reported.

49 persons, including a woman and seven children, were killed and 90 others were injured when a suicide attacker detonated his explosives-laden car at the crowded Soekarno Chowk in Khyber Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of NWFP, on October 9, The News reported. A Police official said that people were busy in routine activities when a suicide bomber detonated the explosives laden in his car. Many of those killed and injured were passengers of a mini-bus that was passing through the area at the time of the blast. Seven children, many of them schoolboys, and a woman, were among those killed. The blast destroyed around 30 vehicles and partially damaged over 60 shops in the nearby markets. Windowpanes of hundreds of shops and offices were also reportedly destroyed. Among those killed or injured were patients and their attendants going or coming out of the nearby Lady Reading Hospital, the biggest public sector hospital in the NWFP. An official of the bomb disposal unit (BDU) estimated that around 50 kg of high-intensity explosives had been loaded in the car, being driven by the suicide bomber, while another official said the explosives were around 100 kg. “As the explosives were loaded in the doors and side cavities, it caused more damage to the nearby buildings rather than creating a huge crater in the ground,” a BDU official said. There were reports that the bomber attempted to reach the NWFP Assembly building through Sher Shah Suri Road but was not allowed by the Policemen near the Peshawar Central Prison. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Malik Naveed termed the attack a reaction to the ongoing military operations in Swat and parts of the FATA. The Deputy Medical Superintendent at Lady Reading Hospital, Sahib Gul, said the blast killed 50 people and wounded 120 others, 22 of them critically. Dr Gul said the death toll could increase, adding that most of the dead were beyond recognition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.
