Fahim said that as a routine, he travelled in his own car, but this time he had luckily changed the vehicle and escaped the attack. “Yes, there are threats to my life, but I am not worried because it was not the first attack on my life,” he said. He accused Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) of carrying out the attack because he had been opposing them for a long time and would not succumb to their pressure. “We are determined to fight the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) because they are against Pakistan and killing innocent people,” Fahim added.

The Times of India quoting Pakistan Body Count on June 13 reported that there is a steep decline in suicide attacks in the past few years. According to the data collated by Pakistan Body Count, an organisation that maintains a 'news-report based database' of suicide and drone attacks carried out in the country, the number of incidents as well as causalities, have witnessed a steep decline compared to 2009 and 2010 - the peak years in terms of causalities. The incidents which failed to reach even double digits in the five years spanning between 2002- 2006 suddenly spiked to 57 in 2007. The bombings claimed over 800 lives in that year. They went unchecked for the next two years and reached a peak in 2009 when 90 suicide bombings claimed over thousand lives. Although the number of incidents started declining in 2010 but the number of fatalities increased. In 2011 there were 44 blasts killing 625 people- nearly half of the 2009 figures. By March 2012, when the data was last updated, there were only 16 such blasts which took 119 lives.

A suicide bomber detonated an explosive laden vehicle near the house of a pro-Government militant commander Maulvi Nabi, killing at least nine persons, including four children, three of them being girls, and injuring 13 others, in a war of attrition between two militant outfits in Speen Tall area of Orakzai Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on July 21, reported Dawn. “This is basically between two militant groups,” Orakzai tribal region’s administrator Khushal Khan told the media. An official said that Maulvi Nabi, a militant commander, had waged a war of attrition against another outfit affiliated with the larger, more powerful Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). “Both groups are involved in killing each other’s men. Maulvi Nabi is not anti-state,” the official said. TTP spokesman in North Waziristan Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility for the attack. He told reporters that Maulvi Nabi was targeted because he was supporting the Government and was against the Taliban. Maulvi Nabi had joined the TTP as a commander for Hangu District, but later developed differences with the militant organisation and shifted to the neighbouring Speen Tall.

Nine terrorists and two security officials were killed when Security Forces (SFs) foiled their attack on Minhas PAF base of Kamra in Attock District of Punjab on August 16, reports Daily Times. Earlier, it was reported that seven militants and one official was killed. One plane was damaged in the pre-dawn assault claimed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). TTP ‘spokesperson’ Ehsanullah Ehsan has said that four suicide bombers had carried out the attack to take revenge for the killings of Baitullah Mehsud and Osama bin Laden. He claimed that the attackers had succeeded in achieving their targets and had given a “lethal blow”. PAF said nine attackers dressed in military uniforms and armed with rocket propelled-grenades and suicide vests targeted the base and adjacent Pakistan Aeronautical Complex at 2am. The adjacent complex assembles Mirage and, with Chinese help, JF-17 fighter jets. “Eight miscreants were killed inside the Minhas base boundary wall and one miscreant exploded himself outside the perimeters where he was hiding,” the air force announced. It said there had been a shootout “for more than two hours”, and 10 hours after the assault began, spokesman Tariq Mahmood confirmed the base was “totally safe”. The attack on the PAF base in Kamra was the fourth such attack since 2007 bombing of a bus near the entrance, followed by rocket attacks on the base in 2008, and a suicide bombing on a service road leading to the base in 2009, reports Dawn. The attack came against the backdrop of reports that Pakistan was planning to launch a massive offensive against Taliban sanctuaries in North Waziristan.

At least four persons, including two Americans, were reportedly killed and 19 others injured in when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle in the University Town area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on September 3, reports Pakistan Today. Officials said the target of the bombing was apparently a vehicle in use by US nationals. As per details, the suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the vehicle purportedly carrying US nationals on the main Aabdara Road in University Town. The massive explosion left a four-foot crater on the road and destroyed several houses and vehicles. The bomb-proof vehicle of US diplomatic mission was also badly damaged. A Police officer who witnessed the attack said the US nationals attacked in the blast were whisked away by another vehicle soon after the blast. Therefore, authorities were unclear of the actual casualties and injuries caused to the foreigners. Peshawar Capital City Police Officer Imtiaz Altaf also expressed ignorance about the fate of US nationals in the vehicle attacked by the bomber.

At least 15 persons killed and 40 others injured in a suicide attack in a crowded Hamid Market in Kashmir Chowk area of Parachinar town, the headquterer of Kurram Agency, in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on September 10, reports Daily Times. “The market was crowded when the attack took place and initial reports say some 10 people are dead,” an official in Parachinar said on condition of anonymity. “The bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a wall of the market and seconds later there were dead bodies and destruction all over the place,” said a local journalist working for a private TV channel. Around 30 shops were also destroyed in the market where used electronic goods were sold, the journalist said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. However, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has acknowledged involvement in such attacks targeting Shias in the past. Parachinar is predominantly inhabited by Shias as sectarian conflict has displaced many Sunnis from the headquarters of Kurram Agency. Sectarian violence involving Sunnis and Shias, who account for around 20 percent of the 167 million populations, has killed more than 4,000 people since the late 1990s.

Seven militants were killed and 15 others, including Mullah Nazir, who is considered a pro-Government local Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘chief’, sustained injuries when a suicide bomber riding a motorbike blew himself up near the vehicle of the militant commander in Rustam Adda in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on November 29, reports The News. Sources said that in the attack, apparently targeting Mullah Nazir, his two key ‘commanders’ were killed besides five others on the spot. Mullah Nazir, leading a large faction of militants in South Waziristan Agency, also sustained injuries in the blast. Soon after the incident, militants of the Mullah Nazir fraction besieged the area and closed Rustam Adda. Mullah Nazir, dubbed as a pro-Government Taliban leader, became prominent when he organised and led a Lashkar (militia) to dislodge the foreign militants, particularly of the Uzbek origin from Wana, the headquarters of South Waziristan tribal region, a few years ago. “The tribesmen then asked Mullah Nazir to expel foreign militants and Pakistani militants who are opposed to the Pakistani forces. Mullah Nazir promised to do this but sought some time,” a tribal elder familiar with these developments said. Mullah Nazir had also signed a peace accord with the government in 2007.
