a Lashkar (tribal militia) fighting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the Adezai outskirts of Peshawar has threatened it would stop its fight if the Government does not issue the militia ration and ammunition within one week. Dilawar Khan, chief of the Adezai Qaumi Lashkar, told a press conference that the Government had “an ambiguous policy” about the TTP in Adezai and accused local legislators of supporting the TTP. “The local MPA (member of provincial assembly) and MNA (member of national assembly) of Awami National Party (ANP) do not support the volunteers of lashkar against the TTP as they don’t belong to their party,” he alleged. He said the tribes of Adezai formed the lashkar in 2008 on the instruction of Government. “Our 47 people including former chief of lashkar Haji Abdul Malik and several commanders have been killed in blasts, attacks and exchange of fire with militants so far,” he said. He said that at the time of lashkar formation, Capital City Police Officer Suleman and former commissioner Azam Khan had assured them that they would be provided with ration, arms and ammunition, adding, “But the commitment has yet to materialised.”

Senior Minister of Provincial Assembly Bashir Ahmed Bilour said that Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) coming to the Peshawar, mainly from Mohmand, Khyber and Orakzai Agencies are creating serious problems for the law enforcement agencies. He said that the people were renting out their houses to the IDPs without any verification, adding that sabotage activities would continue unless the displaced people were sent back to their hometowns. Mr Bilour said that police had arrested many suspected terrorists but there were a lot more who had spread in various localities of Peshawar and were carrying out sabotage acts, adding that it was also duty of the local people to cooperate with police to arrest such elements.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Minister for Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain on March 7 said that 98 per cent terrorists, arrested after hectic efforts and sacrifices of law enforcement agencies, are released by the judiciary owing to lack of evidence, reports Dawn. He appealed to the courts to award capital punishment to all arrested terrorists as they became more dangerous for society after release. He was addressing the oath taking ceremony of the newly elected office-bearers of Peshawar Press Club in Chief Minister’s House. "The government and law enforcement agencies are fighting militancy in an organised manner but now it is up to judiciary to award exemplary punishment to terrorists arrested during operations," the minister said. He added that Government increased the number of Police personnel from 40,000 to 80,000 and also provided them with heavy weapons. He said that Government was spending a huge amount on security to protect people of the province. He also appreciated role of media in the war against terrorism

Lawmaker Mufti Kifayetullah of Jama’at Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) during the proceedings of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly on May 4 termed Osama bin Laden as a ‘hero’ of Muslims and a great jihadi leader, who sacrificed his life for the glory of Islam prompting a cabinet member of Awami National Party (ANP) Bashir Ahmad Bilour to call him a symbol of terror, reports Dawn. “It is a matter of shame for army and Government that foreign forces invaded the country and killed our hero,” he remarked, adding, “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government was equally responsible for this action. This is a fact that Americans killed bin Laden but they could not eliminate his ideology”.

The doctor Qazi Mahmoodul Haq, who sold the piece of the land where Osama Bin Laden’s final hideout was built, said that the buyer, a Pakistani who apparently sheltered the al Qaeda chief, was a “modest, humble” man who did not seem to be a terrorist, reports Daily Times. The doctor said he sold a plot of land to Arshad in 2005. Property records obtained by reporters show Muhammad Arshad bought adjoining plots in four stages between 2004 and 2005 for USD 48,000. The two appear to be the same person, and the names may be faked.

One passerby was killed and 11 other injured in a car bomb blast on a US consulate vehicle on Abdarra Road in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, at about 8 am on May 20, reports Dawn. Two consulate personnel in the bullet-proof Land Cruiser also suffered minor injuries. According to Police, the vehicle carrying US personnel was going to the consulate office in the cantonment from the American Club in the posh University Town. US embassy spokesman in Islamabad, Alberto Rodriguez, said in a statement that the vehicle had been hit by an improvised explosive device. The vehicle was damaged, but no US personnel were seriously injured. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in telephone calls to AFP, claimed responsibility, threatening further attacks against Western targets and indicating that the blast was to avenge the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden by US Navy SEALs. “Our first enemy is Pakistan, then the United States and after that other NATO countries,” said TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan.

Humanitarian agencies active in northwest tribal areas have been quietly told to prepare for up to 365,000 displaced people in advance of a military offensive against North Waziristan Agency, a senior official with an international humanitarian agency said. “Humanitarian agencies operating in FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were given the heads up two weeks ago by the authorities of a possible displacement of up to 50,000 families,” he said, referring to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the northwest province. A similar tip-off in 2009 preceded a military offensive in neighbouring South Waziristan by about five months, he said.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the cross-border attack on the Shaltalo security post. Ehsanullah Ahsan, ‘spokesman’ for the TTP, told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location that “Up to 40 to 50 of our fighters took part in the operation. None of our fighters were killed.” ‘Deputy leader’ TTP Fakir Mohammed said the group with close ties to al Qaeda had changed strategy and would now focus on large-scale attacks only on State targets like the one in Dir. “Our new strategy of launching big attacks on military installations was aimed at causing demoralisation in the ranks of the security forces and tiring of the Government”. “We also want to limit civilian casualties. Our ultimate objective is to force the Government to end its alliance with the United States,” Mohammad added.

Akram Khan Durrani, Leader of Opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, on June 14 said that the United Nations (UN) is about to recognise the Afghan Taliban as a political force, reports Dawn. Opening the budget debate in the assembly, he said the UN would soon remove the Afghan Taliban from its list of terrorist organisations and it had already opened doors for negotiations with the group. “I am telling you on the floor of the house that the UN will very soon declare the Taliban movement a political party,” he said and urged the Government to resume talks with the ‘forces of resistance’ in the province and tribal areas to end the ongoing bloodshed. Mr Durrani, a close associate of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam - Fazal (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai had discussed the matter during his visit to Islamabad last week and sought Pakistan’s cooperation. “If Karzai and America can negotiate with the Taliban why cannot our government talk with the local (militant) groups,” he said.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed that they had used husband wife duo to attack the Kolachi Police Station in Dera Ismail Khan District on June 25. TTP spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan said that “This shows how much we hate Pakistani security institutions’’. Ahsan claimed it was the first time the militant group had used a woman suicide bomber. However, Pakistani officials said a woman suicide bomber wearing a burqa attacked a World Food Programme food distribution centre at Khar in Bajaur Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on December 25, 2010, killing 45 people. The TTP claimed responsibility for that attack in city of Khar but never said it was by a woman bomber. Still, that was believed to be the first attack by a woman.

Pakistani security officials expressed doubt on August 28 over reports from the United States that it had killed the al Qaeda second-in-command near the Afghan border, reports Daily Times. A senior US official said on August 27 that Atiyah abd al-Rahman had been killed in the northwest tribal area of Waziristan on August 22, without divulging the circumstances of his death. However, local officials in the region said that a US drone strike in North Waziristan on that date had killed at least four militants. It was not clear if the two incidents were connected. A senior Pakistani security official in Peshawar said that “We have checked this news report with informers and have worked on it. I doubt the authenticity of this news.” Another security official in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan Agency, said he had received no information on the killing. “For me it is just a rumour. Frankly speaking, we are even not aware that a man with this name is working as deputy chief of al Qaeda,” he added.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government said that the province is no more up on the ladder of areas around the world with a `chronic crisis` of internally displaced persons (IDPs). The Government, according to officials, has informed UN relief agencies that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has around 102,000 displaced families (470,000 persons), clarifying that the figure of IDPs in their use for planning purposes is outdated. “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sitting, somewhere, on the top of the list of places with chronic IDP crisis is no more the case, as things have improved much in the recent past,” said Shakeel Qadir Khan, Director General Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, adding that “we are likely to be somewhere in the middle of it (list).” The PDMA, according to its chief, carried out a survey in September and October this year after realising that the figure of 1.1 million IDPs used by international organisations for planning purposes was not a true representation of situation on ground. International community had described the IDP crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as chronic in 2009 after a mass displacement from Malakand division due to insecurity and military operation against Swat’s Taliban. Later, displacements from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, including Bajaur, Kurram, Mohmand, Khyber and South Waziristan agencies because of militancy raised the IDP number to 4.4 million.
