Thousands of armed tribesmen of South Waziristan met in Wana on January 9, vowing to organise a Lashkar (army) to hunt down al Qaeda-linked militants blamed for killing nine of their kinsmen, Dawn reported. The tribal jirga (council) in Wana came three days after militants stormed two offices and killed nine tribal elders of a government-sponsored peace committee. The jirga ordered tribesmen from every household belonging to the Wazir tribe to come to Wana with arms to prepare for action, a local official said. "One man from each house should come to Wana with a gun at 10am on Thursday to plan our defence and act against those who are responsible for disorder," tribal chief Malik Ghaffar reportedly told the gathering.

19 people were killed and 157 others were injured in countrywide election-related violence on February 18, caretaker Interior Minister Lt-Gen (retd) Hamid Nawaz told Dawn. However, according to independent reports, the number of casualties may be higher. The minister said that nine died in Punjab, seven in Sindh and three in NWFP. He did not give any casualty figures for Balochistan, where four people were reported to have been killed. According to independent reports, the overall death toll in the country was 26. "Despite 19 deaths, the government considers the election quite peaceful with no incident of terrorism in any part of the country… We are happy that neither any incident of terrorism nor any obstacle in the election process was reported in the country," the caretaker minister said. Private TV channels reported that clashes between supporters of different political parties occurred in Khairpur, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Kamoki, Mirpur, Jacobabad, Muzzafargarh, Mandi Bahauddin, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sargodha, Charsadda, Sukkur, Gujar Khan, Shikarpur, Hangu, Gakharmandi, Sialkot, Samandri, Sanghar and Peshawar. Polling is reported to have begun at a slow pace as voters appeared to be wary of violence. However, as the day progressed, the voter turnout improved and according to unconfirmed reports, it is estimated to be 35 percent. Ambassadors of UK, US, Japan, China, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Asian Association of Regional Corporation (SAARC) and European Union Countries visited different polling stations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and expressed their satisfaction over polling process, security arrangements and performance of elections staff. The government has deployed 81,000 troops and nearly 400,000 police personnel to provide security to the more than 64,000 polling stations, a third of which had been declared sensitive. The Chief Election Commissioner Justice (r) Qazi Muhammad Farooq said on February 18-night that the Election Commission had fulfilled its responsibility to hold free, fair and transparent elections, Associated Press of Pakistan reported. "We have not received any complaints so far, but if we receive any, action would be taken," he said.

According to The News, at least 10 people were killed and six others injured when dozens of armed men belonging to the Khyber Agency-based Lashkar-e-Islam (LeI) attacked Shiekhan village on the outskirts of Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) with rocket launchers and other sophisticated weapons before bulldozing a shrine and four houses on March 3. Some sources put the death toll at 16 and said 15 of the deceased were villagers. Police had to fire teargas shells to disperse hundreds of angry villagers who blocked the main Bara Road to register their protest against the LeI militants. "Dozens of armed men of Mangal Bagh-led militant organisation attacked Shiekhan village at around 11.30 am. The villagers, mostly unarmed and unprepared, resisted the assault that resulted into a fierce clash between the rival groups," said a police official. While the militants used rockets and mortar shells besides machineguns and AK-47 assault rifles, the villagers retaliated with rifles. The heavy fighting that continued for hours restricted hundreds of villagers in the nearby areas to their houses. Students in the local schools were also confined to their institutions. Before fleeing to their stronghold Bara in the Khyber Agency of FATA, the LeI militants bulldozed four houses and set ablaze a shrine after razing its building. The Mangal Bagh-led LeI group had reportedly warned the villagers against the stay of a saint, Pir Abdul Hakeem, in the Dani Baba Shrine. The saint is among six people, including a woman, who sustained injuries in the attack. The attack is the first by LeI in the settled part of Peshawar. Mangal Bagh, the head of the LeI, has been enforcing his own brand of Islam in his areas for about two years, according to Dawn. Locals told Daily Times that Shiekhan is home to supporters of Pir Saifur Rehman, who was expelled from Bara in 2007 under immense pressure from the LeI.

People in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) held protests to press authorities to purge the area of militants, fearing that the activities of the militants could disturb the prevailing cease-fire along the Line of Control (LoC), Press Trust of India reported. Residents of the Neelam Valley in PoK shut shops and staged a demonstration on August 17 to protest against the presence of militants who carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. It was the second such protest in Neelam Valley in one-and-half months, BBC Urdu Service reported. Traders at Athmuqam in Neelam Valley closed their shops for two hours and also held a rally. They alleged that the movement of militants in the area has increased and they feared that the truce along the LoC could collapse. The demonstrators called for peace along the LoC and demanded that authorities should purge the area of militants. In July 2008, women had organised a similar protest against militants and demanded that they should leave the area.
