Nearly 50 people, including 35 foreign militants, have been killed in two days of fighting between the al Qaeda-linked militants and Pakistani tribesmen, Pakistani Government officials said on March 20, reported Reuters. Fighting broke out on March 19 in Shin Warsak village, 7-km west of Wana. "According to our reports 35 Uzbek militants and 12 tribal combatants have been killed," said a senior Government official, who declined to be identified. Among the dead were three children killed by a mortar bomb on their way home from school on March 19, a teacher said. "The children were getting off their school bus and some had started walking home when a mortar bomb hit," said the teacher, Noorzali, adding, some children were wounded. Military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad said the fighting was still going on and up to 35 people had been killed, at least half of them foreign militants and added that security forces were not involved. A battle between foreign militants, most of them Uzbeks, and ethnic Pashtun tribesmen erupted in the remote area near the Afghan border on March 6, when militants tried to kill a pro-Government tribal leader, in which seventeen people, most of them Uzbeks, were killed. It followed Government efforts to convince the tribesmen to help keep order and stop militant raids into Afghanistan. "It's a success of the government tribesmen strategy ... the tribesmen are fed up with them because they and their activities adversely affect their lives and business," Arshad said.

Six people were killed and 15 others, including four police personnel, were injured in clashes between security force (SF) personnel and Islamic militants in the Tank city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on May 16, according to Dawn. According to witnesses, a rocket fired by the militants landed in the Rizwan Grain market of the city on Tank-Dera road, killing five civilians, including two brothers. Clashes in different parts of the city occurred for more than two hours and both sides used rockets and light cannons, causing collateral damage to bazaars and residential areas, residents said. Some unidentified people reportedly lobbed hand-grenades at district courts where SFs had set up checkpoints. The attack, however, did not hurt anyone. Later, the militants, armed with rockets and heavy machine-guns, moved into the town and started targeting the SFs. "The number of attackers was about 40 who challenged the security forces and went back to their area," an eye-witness said. People alleged that SFs fired on civilians instead of targeting militants who were seen roaming freely in the city.

Ten people were killed and over 50 others injured in a powerful bomb blast at the Mecca Masjid (Mecca mosque) near Charminar in Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, on May 18, according to The Hindu. Over 10,000 people were offering prayers at the 400-year-old mosque at 1.15 p.m. when the bomb exploded. Police sources said that the explosive device, in which RDX was used, was triggered with a cellular phone and was hidden underneath a thick marble platform. Two more improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were recovered from the site and later defused by the police. Police also found a SIM card from a mobile phone attached to an IED. Four more people were killed subsequently in police firing as mobs clashed with the police. Sporadic incidents of arson and attacks continued in many areas till late in the night. No organisation has, so far, claimed responsibility for the attack, even though police suspect the involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Balwinder Singh, Police Commissioner of Hyderabad, told CNN-IBN, "It was a terrorist attack. Jehadi hand is not ruled out behind the attack. Investigations are on and the police have managed to lay their hands on some clues."
