Half of the terrorism-related stories published in the country’s key national newspapers originate from the border region in Pakistan’s northwest, says a new study released by a local media development organisation on April 5, reports Daily Times. “Almost 50 percent of terrorism stories come from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP),” says the study, ‘How Pakistani Media Reports Terrorism Related Conflict?’ The study has been conducted by the Intermedia Pakistan, an Islamabad-based media development organisation which focuses on training, advocacy and research on media issues. “On TV, the region gets 44 percent of the airtime when it comes to reporting on terrorism-related conflict.” “The study is based on in-depth content analysis of terrorism-related news reports published in a sample of newspapers and aired on select television channels,” says Sadaf Baig, the author of the report. “It unveils statistics that shed new light on the way local media covers terrorism in Pakistan.” In terms of regional break up of news coverage of terrorism-related events, the study says, “FATA dominates the coverage of terrorism with 26 percent of terrorism-related news emanating from the region, KP follows with 23 percent, Balochistan gets 24 percent coverage, Sindh 19 percent, Punjab eight percent, Islamabad six percent while Gilgit Baltistan two percent and AJK gets one percent of space in newspapers.” The study revealed that FATA and Frontier Regions (FRs) featured prominently in terrorism-related stories, adding that armed fighting and skirmishes dominated the incidents of terrorism events reported from FATA.

Pakistan is going to deploy specially trained Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) forces at 820 border posts along the Pak-Afghan border to counter the use of homemade landmines – the weapon that causes the most troop and civilian casualties on both sides of the border, reports The Express Tribune. “Special instructions are being passed to all agencies to enhance vigilance on the Pak-Afghan border. Pakistan has deployed 23 wings of the Frontier Corps (FC) for border control. The manpower deployed on approximately 820 posts established by the Pakistan Army/FC along the international border are being trained to monitor the movement of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN),” said an official document available with The Express Tribune. CAN and Ammonium Nitrate (AN) are used to manufacture fertilisers but simultaneously function as key ingredients in making homemade mines called IEDs. The FC has trained their personnel in basic Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to undertake search and disposal operations, while specialised Police units have been established to undertake EOD tasks which will be used not only on border points but during raids on IED manufacturing sites on its side of the border. IEDs have caused over 13,918 (civilian and military) casualties, which is 47% of the total casualties suffered by Pakistan over the past four years in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone. The use of Taliban homemade landmines and roadside bombs against NATO forces has reached record levels according to a Pentagon task force. IEDs are the number one cause of casualties for International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF), newly trained Afghan National Security Forces (NSF) troops and civilians. The US has devoted huge resources to defeating the IED threat over the years but with little success. The US Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) alone has an annual budget of over USD three billion, and since 2006, USD 20 billion have been spent on C-IED efforts.

The Peshawar High Court on April 10 directed the local Police to close down three illegal detention centres, which were run by a former Station House Officer (SHO) of Hayatabad Police Station in his area, reports Dawn. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Mian Fasihul Mulk pointed out that a recent inquiry conducted by the Police high-ups on the order of the high court proved that SHO Rajab Ali had been running three illegal detention centres in Hayatabad, Peshawar. The bench directed the Police to hand over the three premises to their owners and provide their details to the court so that they could be asked not to rent out their premises in future for such illegal purposes. On the court order, a senior investigation officer of National Accountability Bureau Col (retired) Hussain Ali appeared and told the court that he had constituted a team for probing the allegations against the SHO of amassing wealth by indulging in illegal activities. The bench observed that so far three inquiries had been conducted against Mr Ali and all the three showed that he was involved in illegal activities. The SHO had already been transferred to police lines. Further, Peshawar High Court directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Police Officer to conduct an inquiry as to why police were extending illegal cooperation and help to those agencies which were not authorised under the law and constitution to pick up citizens. In addition, Peshawar High Court directed the quarters concerned to expedite the process of enlisting the [low profile] category B and C militants after the bench was requested to allow some time for the completion of the list. Earlier, the court had issued directives that militants of the category B and C be identified and set free on strong surety bonds.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on April 11 favoured resumption of NATO supply but said there should be no permission to the arms and ammunitions’ movement to Afghanistan in NATO containers and that NATO supply should be restored for food items only, reports Dawn. He said everyone would accept parliament’s decision on restoration of NATO supply as it was the country’s supreme institution. “Our national interests are supreme to us. We will never compromise them with any international power, including the United States (US),” he said. He urged the US to reconsider its policies, especially regarding drone attacks, saying it’s badly affecting the US image in the country and the world. The Minister said that the drone technology should be shared with Pakistan for better results against war of terror.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) on April 11 summoned the Federal Ministers and Secretaries of Defence, Interior and Law in cases of missing persons, asking them to explain why they had been defending illegal and unconstitutional acts of the intelligence agencies, reports Dawn. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Mian Fasihul Mulk also put on notice the Attorney General for Pakistan and the judge Advocate General of Pakistan Army, directing them to appear and assist the court on the point under what authority of law these agencies had been keeping persons in illegal detention. The bench observed that in all the habeas corpus petitions in the High Court allegations were leveled against the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence (MI), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and sector commanders of the Intelligence Agencies. It added that it was often alleged that these agencies picked persons from houses without search warrant, detained them in illegal detention centres and tortured them. The chief justice observed that keeping in view the provisions of the constitution regarding fundamental rights, the Government, particularly the Ministries of Defence and Interior, were not supposed to defend illegal acts of these agencies. “The matter is very serious not only for the courts, but also for civil society which raised voice against it and it may result in any ugly situation like public versus the army and would be dangerous for both the state and army,” the bench observed, adding that it was appropriate that the ministers and secretaries of defence, interior, law should appear in person and explain their positions.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on April 13 said that the Government’s green signal for non-lethal supply to NATO forces in Afghanistan would reduce terrorism and militancy in the country, especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reports Dawn. “Parliamentary Committee on National Security has restricted supply of arms and ammunition to NATO forces in war-torn Afghanistan that may bring down terrorism and militancy in the country, especially our province”. He said the Government was optimistic that after new formula for NATO supply presented by Parliamentary Committee on National Security, the US might end drone attacks in Pakistani territory. “If the US wants to continue drone attacks on this side of border, then it (US) should respect our sovereignty and transfer the technology to Pakistan,” he added. The Minister said his Awami National Party (ANP) had suffered a lot in the war against terrorism and forced terrorists to flee from their strongholds. “We have lost around 750 ANP leaders, parliamentarians and workers to terrorism and militancy over four years but didn’t yield to our enemy,” he said. He said his Government had secured PKR 35 billion as electricity royalty and PKR billion as NFC award first time in the history of the province and it was his Government’s great achievement. Mr Iftikhar said the Government was fast rebuilding schools and health facilities destroyed by militants in the province.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Inspector General of Police Mohammad Akbar Khan Hoti on April 13 assured the business community of revival of Citizen’s Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) in order to properly address the issues being faced by people in the province, reports Dawn. Speaking at a meeting with members of business community at Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the IGP said that the revival of the CPLC would help in resolution of people’s problems in a befitting manner. He said that the foremost duty of police was to protect life and property of people, which was affected because of their involvement in counter-terrorism activities. Mr Hoti said that basically counter-terrorism was not the job of police, as it needed a regular special paramilitary training. “Some affairs are being taken from the police and the powers transferred to other relevant departments,” he said without elaborating.

Hundreds of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants stormed a prison in Bannu town in Bannu District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on April 15 and freed nearly 400 inmates, including one on death row for trying to assassinate former President General Pervez Musharraf, reports Daily Times. “Between 1:30am and 2am, dozens of armed militants stormed the prison and attacked the facility from all sides with heavy weapons,” Bannu Prison Superintendent Zahid Khan said. Sources said the attack by around 200 militants was aimed at rescuing Adnan Rashid, a TTP militant who was convicted of an attack on Musharraf. TTP ‘spokesman’ Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility for the attack. “We attacked the Bannu prison and got our special members freed,” Ehsan told reporters on phone. “In a couple of days when all of them have reached their designated places we will issue details about them.

Dawn reports that educationalists at a seminar organised by Peace Education and Development (PEAD) Foundation in Peshawar said that some contents of the religious studies’ textbooks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa about Afghan fighting were overemphasised in a way that could undermine peace and incite violence and therefore, the Government should bring necessary reforms to these books. According to them, these contents are not in synch with the current socio-political realities for their controversial, discriminatory and gender insensitive nature. Executive Director of PEAD Samina Imtiaz said that some themes in textbooks overemphasised certain tenets of religion while discussing politics, history, literature and linguistic studies that was detrimental to the growth of an enlightened, tolerant and inclusive mindset.

The National Assembly Human Rights Committee (NAHRC) was told on April 18 that more than 650 Shias in Quetta (Balochistan) and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) were targeted and killed recently, reports Daily Times. Mohammad Amin Shahidi, Deputy General Secretary of Wahdatul Muslimeen, a Shia organisation, informed the committee that more than 650 Shias in Quetta and 450 in Dera Ismail Khan were targeted and killed recently. He claimed that not a single person was arrested for the killings, adding that few people who were arrested in the aforementioned cases were released on bail. Shahidi said such incidents of lawlessness, hardships in getting justice created frustration among the Shia community, adding that the country’s law and order situation would further deteriorate if the desperate Shias took up arms. The NAHRC was also told that some ‘hidden forces’ were responsible for the killings of Shias in different parts of the country. The committee members agreed that there was no sectarian clash between the Shias and the Sunnis, observing that clerics of both sides agreed to restore peace in Gilgit-Baltistan, Dera Ismail Khan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and Quetta (Balochistan). However, the committee said the law enforcement agencies, Police and intelligence agencies had completely failed to control such incidents and identify the culprits.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government on April 25 set a one-month deadline for illegal Afghan nationals to leave the province or face legal action, reports Dawn. District Coordination Officer Siraj Ahmad Khan told a press conference that illegal Afghan nationals should leave the province by May 25 otherwise they would be treated according to the law of the land. “Police will arrest illegal Afghan nationals under 14 Foreign Act and they will be deported to their country after May 25,” said Mr Khan, who was accompanied by Commissioner for Afghan Refugees Zaheerul Islam. He said that the Government had decided to expel illegal Afghan nationals from the province and action would be started from Peshawar where approximately 400,000 undocumented Afghans were residing. Pakistan, sheltering the largest refugee population since early 1980s, Afghanistan and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees had signed a tripartite agreement to legalise stay of registered Afghans till December next. The Government has been issuing such deadlines to illegal Afghans since 2001, but did not implement the same. However, Police had launched a crackdown against Afghan prayer leaders some time ago and deported many of them. Earlier on April 24, Afghan Deputy Refugees and Repatriation Minister Samad Hami said Afghanistan and Pakistan soon plan to sign an agreement that would let refugees stay in Pakistan until 2017, Afghanistan. The deal would protect refugees from forcible deportation from Pakistan, he said.
