Police were put Peshawar on high alert following a Special Branch report regarding a potential suicide attack in the city, reports Daily Times. The tip-off came two days after the Peshawar Police recovered improvised explosives attached to a motorcycle near the border with Khyber Agency of FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas). According to the report, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had grouped with other terror organisations in the area and was planning attacks on Peshawar. “We have reports that a vehicle-borne suicide attack is highly likely in Peshawar,” a senior official quoted a Special Branch report to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government.

Four persons were killed and several others injured in a car bomb attack on the house of a tribal elder in the Pishtakhara area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 3, reports Dawn. Cantonment Circle Superintendent of Police Dr Mian Saeed Ahmed said that about 40 kilograms of explosives had been packed in the car and detonated with remote control. He said that the main target was tribal elder Astana Gul but he was not there at the time of blast and his brother Ghazi Khan and his three friends died. He said that the deceased included an Army captain but it could not be ascertained if he was a serving officer or had retired. Astana Gul, who was once associated with the Khyber Agency (FATA)-based militant Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) outfit headed by the Mangal Bagh, joined its rival Ansar-ul-Islam and the blast appeared to be aimed at punishing him and warning for others against leaving Mangal Bagh’s outfit. The blast caused a wide crater near the building and damaged several other houses. LI claimed responsibility for the blast.

The level of corruption in Police departments is evident by studying the number of officers charged for corruption in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in 2011 which do not include the number of complaints filed against the Police or cases which could not be pursued, reports The Express Tribune. Talking to The Express Tribune, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Inquiry and Inspection Sultan Haneef Orakzai stated that in 2011, 219 corruption cases were registered against police officers which resulted in penalties for 105 officials. “Corruption is not just limited to KP, but is endemic to the entire country.” Low-ranking Police officials are found to be the primary culprits in a large number of cases. In 2010, 237 officers faced corruption charges. Orakzai said a total of 166 corruption cases were reported in Peshawar, 22 in Mardan, 14 in Hazara, 12 in Bannu, 10 in Kohat, eight in Malakand and five in Dera Ismail Khan in 2010.

The elders of Mathra village in Peshawar expressed grave concern over reports about a possible operation against suspected persons in the area and warned that the local people will strongly react if they are not taken into confidence in this regard.

During a public meeting to observe the 37th death anniversary of former Governor Hayat Mohammad Khan in Charsadda District on February 8, Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party-Sherpao (PPP-S) Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao said that he would launch a movement to restore peace in the region, reported Dawn. He said that they would take concrete steps from the platform of Qaumi Ulasi Tehreek (National People’s Movement) to ensure peace. He said that they would try to turn the war-like situation in the region into an opportunity for prosperity and development.

A police official said that he saw the ambulance entering and leaving the farmhouse, but thought that perhaps Dr Shah or any labourer was sick and being taken to hospital.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) on February 9 moved to Peshawar High Court to challenge the unlimited legitimised powers of the military to target suspected terrorists without any evidence, reports The Express Tribune. The petition was submitted to the circuit bench (Darul Qaza) of the Peshawar High Court by former Provincial Minister Shah Raz Khan who will be represented by Barrister Ghulam Nabi. The cabinet has approved the draft for the 20th Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2011. The decision to file a petition was taken after careful examination of the Draft Counter-Insurgency (In Aid of Civil Power) Regulations for Federally and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas, whose article 247 (5) and article 247(4) have also been approved to provide legal cover to action undertaken by military forces against terrorists. Talking to the media after submitting the petition, Nabi said that the regulation violates human rights and it will never be accepted.

Local Police have begun random checking of Khyber Agency`s internally displaced persons (IDPs) and directed people to avoid renting out houses without informing them. Some families residing in the limits of Yakatoot Police Station informed that Police had begun visiting houses of IDPs and they were worried about their children and could not move freely. The source said most of the people had moved to the urban area of Peshawar including Paharipura, Hashtnagri, Yakatoot, Dalazak Road and Charsadda Road and residing with their relatives. He said the worrisome aspect of the shifting of suspected IDPs for Police was that their opponents were attacking them and the two bomb blasts at Pakha Ghulam and Pishtakhara were live examples where Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) targeted Ansarul Islam activists.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government is likely to seek Federal Government’s permission to go after the Afghan nationals residing illegally in the province, Dawn quoting unnamed official sources reported. Data compiled by the Home and Tribal Affairs Department revealed that around 400,000 Afghans have been staying in the province without legal documents and that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and Police had not taken action against them under Foreigners Act. “Despite having legal powers, FIA and police don`t go after them,” said an official. The Federal Government should make arrangements to block the entry of Afghans arriving without legal documents. The Home Department recently briefed the provincial cabinet about the presence of refugees and unregistered and illegal Afghans in the province. During the meeting, issues relating to the refugees were discussed and it was proposed that illegal Afghans be deported from the province with the prior permission of the Federal Government.

The chief minister said, “We are ready to pardon the blood of our friends, party workers and even attacks on our female family members if the Taliban become patriotic Pakistanis.” The CM, though, offered pardon to Taliban for laying down arms, and also made it clear that if the TTP did not surrender, the government would not sit quiet until the last Taliban fighter was brought to justice.

An official of the Judge Advocate General Branch of the Pakistan Army, Colonel Noor Ahmad, informed the Peshawar High Court (PHC) that the youths de-radicalised at military rehabilitation centres following the Swat operation were again joining militant groups after their release. Colonel Noor Ahmad, representing the Military Intelligence (MI) in missing persons cases, stated this when a division bench headed by PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan said it would be better to shift the missing persons to internment centres for de-radicalisation. The chief justice observed that the suspected youths might not have got de-radicalised through high-level and well-experienced psychiatrists and that is why they are again joining the militant groups. He said that when a Mullah could turn a youth into militant through fierce speeches while seizing on his poverty and unemployment, the high profile physiologists and psychiatrists could also easily de-radicalise them. “The de-radicalisation of militants would only be effective if the Government provides them jobs, particularly of gardeners and Class-IV, and ensures a tight surveillance system,” the chief justice observed.

The Peshawar High Court (PHC) ruled on February 17 that target killings and street crimes were on the rise due to the Government’s issuance of arms licenses on political grounds, reported The News. It directed the Federal Interior Secretary and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Home Secretary to present a report about the licenses issued thus far. PHC Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan issued the directives to the secretaries concerned in bail petitions of three persons arrested for having a large cache of arms in the city. The Chief Justice observed that there were no strict laws on arms and this was the reason that people have all kinds of arms and criminals use them easily for crimes. “The Government is not interested in maintaining law and order. It is only interested in issuing arms’ licenses to their own political workers,” he observed. Jehanzeb, Gulab Sher and Olas Khan had filed bail petitions in the PHC. Matani Police arrested them on January 17, 2010 for possessing six Kalashnikov rifles, 13 repeaters, two Kalakov rifles and thousands of rounds. Police then booked them under sections 13 and 14 of the Arms Ordinance.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on February 28 said that militants maintain a significant presence in several parts of Nowshera District and warned that their protectors would not be spared any longer, reports Dawn. He said militants had maintained presence in several pockets of the District, including Badrushee, Bahadur Baba, Akora Khattak and Nowshera. “Nowshera terrorists have links with Darra Admakhel and this channel goes up to North Waziristan Agency,” Hussain said, adding that the fresh wave of terrorism in Peshawar and Nowshera had its origin in Nowshera’s pockets of militants. He said the Darra Adamkhel militants couldn’t access Peshawar from the main routes and therefore, they had selected Nowshera hills to access Peshawar. “Hosting militants in hujras (prayer room), religious seminaries, houses and hills for weeks and months is not lawful. The tolerance for such acts has been fading away. The time has come to put a strong hand on all those providing refuge to militants anywhere in Nowshera District,” he said.
