Four people are reported to have died and dozens of others injured after clashes erupted in the Hangu town and its surrounding areas of NWFP on January 9. According to The News, a mourning procession from Ustarzai, Ibarhimzai, Sherkot and Chakarkot villages was heading for the Hangu city despite a curfew. Sources said militants allegedly attacked the procession with rockets from the hilltops when it reached near Bahadur Banda, prompting an exchange of fire with the mourners. Consequently, four people were killed in the clashes, which were continuing till last reports came in. Police sources said both sides were using heavy weapons against each other. “Both sides are targeting each other’s positions with rockets and other heavy weapons and many houses have been damaged,” an unnamed official said. The areas where the clashes erupted included Charbagh, Gangyan, Serai Banda, Lakhtay Banda, Ibrahimzai, Bahadur Banda and city bazaar areas, the sources said. The official said that the number of casualties might be higher as the incident happened in the evening and there was no direct access to the area due to an electricity breakdown.

At least 17 people were killed and 30 others injured on January 10 in the ongoing sectarian clashes in Hangu in the NWFP, officials told Daily Times. Officials said that fighting between the rival Shia and Sunni groups had been continuing since late January 9 while army helicopter gun ships were pounding the warring parties’ positions to control the situation. The clashes erupted when people from Kohat, who were protesting against the imposition of curfew in Hangu on the eve of Ashura, were attacked by the rival sect. The two groups started targeting each other with heavy and light weapons. According to the officials, the clashes are going on in the Khanbari, Singhar, Paskalay, Gungano Kalay, Malik Abad and Ibrahim Zay areas of Hangu city.

A cease-fire between rival factions was reached in Hangu in the NWFP late on January 11, after 30 persons were killed and 50 injured in sectarian clashes that broke out on January 9, according to Daily Times. However, The News put the death toll in the three days of sectarian clashes at 40. 20 houses – including that of the District Zakat committee chairman – were set ablaze in fresh clashes despite an earlier truce in the afternoon of January 11, as helicopter gunships targeted ‘miscreant’ hideouts. A private TV channel said the house of local Awami National Party leader Yahya Qureshi was also torched. Sources said three local commanders, Maulvi Nadeem, Momin and Ihsanullah, were among the six militants killed in sectarian clashes in Saidan Banda and Pass Kellay, while six civilians were also injured. Clashes between the armed groups continued in various areas, including Sangarabad, Bahadur Ghari, Saidan Banda, Mardokhel Banda, Kach Banda, Ibrahimzai, Nerobaag, Sheikhan Kellay and Lakhtay Banda throughout the day. Heavy weapons, including rockets, mortar shells and missiles were used in the clashes. The second truce was reached in a jirga (assembly of tribal elders) headed by Kohat Division Commissioner Umar Afridi around midnight, Hangu District Coordination Officer Syed Mujibur Rehman told a private TV channel. Rival groups would vacate bunkers they have captured in each other’s areas and there will be a ban on the display of weapons according to the pact, said jirga member Shah Hussain. An earlier truce was rejected by one of fighting groups. The TV channel said tribal elders held talks with Taliban to persuade them to leave the District, but the Taliban refused to comply unless instructed to do so by their commander. Officials told Daily Times that Security Forces would take positions in the city on January 12 (today), as reinforcements arrive. “We targeted the hideouts of miscreants with helicopter gunships,” Mujibur Rehman told AFP, without giving any details about the results of the operation. “The troublemakers have set up bunkers on hilltops and in some houses, and were firing on each other to trigger sectarian violence,” he added. The supply of electricity to the city remained suspended for the third day.

Six people were killed and 22 others sustained injuries when a bomb rigged to a bicycle exploded in a populated area in Dera Ismail Khan in the NWFP on January 26, Dawn reported. Three of the victims were in a car while the other three were walking past the bicycle parked in front of the main gate of the town hall. The remote-controlled bomb apparently targeted a Sunni leader. Locals told Daily Times that the explosion occurred when NWFP assembly member, and leader of the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Khalifa Abdul Qayyum, was passing through the area. They said Qayyum escaped unhurt, but his car was damaged in the blast. Talking to reporters later, Qayum said he was the apparent target of the blast, as he had been involved in efforts for bringing peace to the district, APP reported. He said it was a terrorist attack, adding he did not have personal enmity with anyone. Police said the bomb weighed around 10 kilograms and seemed to be foreign made.

According to Dawn, militants on March 3 killed two Security Force (SF) personnel in an ambush in the Ronyal village of Matta sub-division in Swat District and kidnapped, but released after some time, three NWFP Government officials. The military described the attack on SF personnel a violation of the peace agreement, but chief of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Mohammad blamed the army for moving around without informing the TNSM. The army said a captain was wounded in the ambush and two soldiers were killed when they were carrying water from a water channel. “There absolutely was no violation of the agreement on our part. Our forces were engaged by militants and we did not retaliate,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas told Dawn. “Our security forces are threatened, their ration supplies are disrupted and forces are attacked without any provocation. We have been exercising restraint in larger interest of the people and peace in Swat,” he said.
