The level of corruption in Police departments is evident by studying the number of officers charged for corruption in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in 2011 which do not include the number of complaints filed against the Police or cases which could not be pursued, reports The Express Tribune. Talking to The Express Tribune, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Inquiry and Inspection Sultan Haneef Orakzai stated that in 2011, 219 corruption cases were registered against police officers which resulted in penalties for 105 officials. “Corruption is not just limited to KP, but is endemic to the entire country.” Low-ranking Police officials are found to be the primary culprits in a large number of cases. In 2010, 237 officers faced corruption charges. Orakzai said a total of 166 corruption cases were reported in Peshawar, 22 in Mardan, 14 in Hazara, 12 in Bannu, 10 in Kohat, eight in Malakand and five in Dera Ismail Khan in 2010.

The military officials have asked people in the border areas of Upper Dir District to keep a vigilant eye on suspected people as militants can launch attacks from Afghanistan, reports Dawn.

The jirga, held in the border town of Barawal, was attended by about 200 local elders.

Half of the terrorism-related stories published in the country’s key national newspapers originate from the border region in Pakistan’s northwest, says a new study released by a local media development organisation on April 5, reports Daily Times. “Almost 50 percent of terrorism stories come from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP),” says the study, ‘How Pakistani Media Reports Terrorism Related Conflict?’ The study has been conducted by the Intermedia Pakistan, an Islamabad-based media development organisation which focuses on training, advocacy and research on media issues. “On TV, the region gets 44 percent of the airtime when it comes to reporting on terrorism-related conflict.” “The study is based on in-depth content analysis of terrorism-related news reports published in a sample of newspapers and aired on select television channels,” says Sadaf Baig, the author of the report. “It unveils statistics that shed new light on the way local media covers terrorism in Pakistan.” In terms of regional break up of news coverage of terrorism-related events, the study says, “FATA dominates the coverage of terrorism with 26 percent of terrorism-related news emanating from the region, KP follows with 23 percent, Balochistan gets 24 percent coverage, Sindh 19 percent, Punjab eight percent, Islamabad six percent while Gilgit Baltistan two percent and AJK gets one percent of space in newspapers.” The study revealed that FATA and Frontier Regions (FRs) featured prominently in terrorism-related stories, adding that armed fighting and skirmishes dominated the incidents of terrorism events reported from FATA.

Pakistan is going to deploy specially trained Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) forces at 820 border posts along the Pak-Afghan border to counter the use of homemade landmines – the weapon that causes the most troop and civilian casualties on both sides of the border, reports The Express Tribune. “Special instructions are being passed to all agencies to enhance vigilance on the Pak-Afghan border. Pakistan has deployed 23 wings of the Frontier Corps (FC) for border control. The manpower deployed on approximately 820 posts established by the Pakistan Army/FC along the international border are being trained to monitor the movement of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN),” said an official document available with The Express Tribune. CAN and Ammonium Nitrate (AN) are used to manufacture fertilisers but simultaneously function as key ingredients in making homemade mines called IEDs. The FC has trained their personnel in basic Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to undertake search and disposal operations, while specialised Police units have been established to undertake EOD tasks which will be used not only on border points but during raids on IED manufacturing sites on its side of the border. IEDs have caused over 13,918 (civilian and military) casualties, which is 47% of the total casualties suffered by Pakistan over the past four years in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone. The use of Taliban homemade landmines and roadside bombs against NATO forces has reached record levels according to a Pentagon task force. IEDs are the number one cause of casualties for International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF), newly trained Afghan National Security Forces (NSF) troops and civilians. The US has devoted huge resources to defeating the IED threat over the years but with little success. The US Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) alone has an annual budget of over USD three billion, and since 2006, USD 20 billion have been spent on C-IED efforts.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government on April 16 removed four senior officials and ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident as more details emerged about the audacity of the attacking militants and utter failure of police to respond, reports Dawn.

Intelligence officials on April 17 said that the intelligence services had warned the Government three months ago about a possible attack on a prison in Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that was raided on April 15, 2012, freeing around 400 prisoners including militants, reported Dawn. The intelligence information was conveyed to the Government through a letter dated January 5, 2012. The letter identified Bannu jail as a target, along with the Pakistan Air Force base in the north-western garrison town of Kohat, the Kohat cantonment and a Police Station. “The intelligence information about the possible attacks was shared with the Government in January 2012,” a senior intelligence official said.

The National Assembly Human Rights Committee (NAHRC) was told on April 18 that more than 650 Shias in Quetta (Balochistan) and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) were targeted and killed recently, reports Daily Times. Mohammad Amin Shahidi, Deputy General Secretary of Wahdatul Muslimeen, a Shia organisation, informed the committee that more than 650 Shias in Quetta and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan were targeted and killed recently. He claimed that not a single person was arrested for the killings, adding that few people who were arrested in the aforementioned cases were released on bail. Shahidi said such incidents of lawlessness, hardships in getting justice created frustration among the Shia community, adding that the country’s law and order situation would further deteriorate if the desperate Shias took up arms. The NAHRC was also told that some ‘hidden forces’ were responsible for the killings of Shias in different parts of the country. The committee members agreed that there was no sectarian clash between the Shias and the Sunnis, observing that clerics of both sides agreed to restore peace in Gilgit-Baltistan, Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Quetta (Balochistan). However, the committee said the law enforcement agencies, Police and intelligence agencies had completely failed to control such incidents and identify the culprits.

District Coordination Officer Siraj Ahmad Khan told a press conference that illegal Afghan nationals should leave the province by May 25 otherwise they would be treated according to the law of the land. “Police will arrest illegal Afghan nationals under 14 Foreign Act and they will be deported to their country after May 25,” said Mr Khan, who was accompanied by Commissioner for Afghan Refugees Zaheerul Islam. He said that the Government had decided to expel illegal Afghan nationals from the province and action would be started from Peshawar where approximately 400,000 undocumented Afghans were residing. Pakistan, sheltering the largest refugee population since early 1980s, Afghanistan and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees had signed a tripartite agreement to legalise stay of registered Afghans till December next. The Government has been issuing such deadlines to illegal Afghans since 2001, but did not implement the same. However, Police had launched a crackdown against Afghan prayer leaders some time ago and deported many of them. Earlier on April 24, Afghan Deputy Refugees and Repatriation Minister Samad Hami said Afghanistan and Pakistan soon plan to sign an agreement that would let refugees stay in Pakistan until 2017, Afghanistan. The deal would protect refugees from forcible deportation from Pakistan, he said.

The Express Tribune on August 25 (today) reported that while nearly 3,400 schools in KhyberPakhtunkhwa have been destroyed due to militancy and natural disasters in recent years, many school buildings are yet to become functional decades after their construction. At one such school in the suburban village of Bunyadi, there are no teachers or students to be seen, but only a man selling chapli kababs. This girls’ school was made in 1988 by a Parliamentarian named Sardar Ali. There was one teacher appointed, but she left six months after. Since then, the building is used for stocking firewood. A local elder, Mansoor Khan, said his father provided the building for a girls’ school when there was none in the area. “We contacted the education department many times about it, but they said they had no record of such a school building.” The girls’ school is one of hundreds of derelict school buildings built in the past by Parliamentarians, which have not been handed to the education department for reasons that remain unknown.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly lost four of its members, including a senior minister, to terrorism during these four and a half years – the highest for a house of elected representatives in Pakistan in this Awami National Party (ANP) Government’s tenure, The Express Tribune reported on December 31. Lawmakers expressed their disappointment over this trend during the assembly’s final session on December 31 just days after the assassination of Senior Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour in a suicide attack on December 22. Bilour was the senior most member of the incumbent assembly and was one who had survived two earlier attempts as well. On November 11, 2008, Bilour was targeted by a suicide bomber at the gate of Qayyum Stadium Sports Complex. Another attempt was made on March 11, 2009 but he emerged unscathed both times. Alamzeb Khan, an ANP lawmaker from Peshawar, was the first victim of militancy. He was killed in a bomb attack on February 10, 2009, in the Dalazak Road area of Peshawar. Another ANP lawmaker, Dr Shamsher Ali Khan from Swat, was also killed when a suicide bomber detonated explosives strapped to his body in Khan’s hujra on December 1, 2009. Legislator Mohammad Ali Khan was seriously injured in March. His struggled with his injuries persisted and he succumbed to them by November. In addition to the loss of four members, MPAs have had to contend with a running threat. The most recent person to survive a suicide attack was Qaumi Watan Party chief Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao who was targeted by a bomber during a march in Kangra area of Shabqadar tehsil of his native Charsadda district earlier in March. The former interior minister and his son Sikandar Sherpao, who is a member of the assembly, had a narrow escape. Minister for Prisons Mian Nisar Gul Kakakhel was injured when his convoy was attacked in the semi-tribal Darra Adamkhel, south of the provincial capital. Nisar suffered bullet wounds and three of his guards were killed on June 11, 2009.
