Chief Minister of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Ameer Haider Khan Hoti, will unveil a $4 billion peace plan that envisages a 30 per cent reduction in militancy within three years, retrieval of the areas lost to militants and improvement in the writ of the state, Dawn reported. The plan, put together by a task force of the Awami National Party, envisions a peace jirga (council) comprising provincial ministers and legislators. The Government has set up a peace committee for Malakand to restore peace in Swat but the plan proposes a larger jirga with its terms of reference outlined. Sources said Hoti would unveil the plan in the NWFP assembly, to be convened soon. The speech will outline the objectives of the plan – reducing the level of insurgency in the province by 30 per cent within three years, including attacks on security forces and suicide and roadside bombings, reclaiming areas lost to militants and strengthening the writ of the state. It envisages an increase in the number of police personnel by 8,000 men and Frontier Constabulary by 6,000. It seeks reforms in police, revival of executive magistracy, support for the recently-established regional coordinating officers and 10 Regional Peace Conferences of Ulema (religious scholars). A member of the task force said a donors’ conference would be convened to finance the peace plan. He said some countries had already shown interest in financing the plan. "There is a great deal of interest. The Saudis, Americans, European Union, Scandinavians and Chinese have all shown interest in the peace plan," said Khalid Aziz who played a key role in drafting the plan. Commenting on the peace plan, Chief Minister Hoti told Dawn: "The international community needs to understand that instead of firing a multi-million dollar missile that causes collateral damage it is better to invest that money to improve the lives of the people. They need to send out a powerful message to the people that this whole war on terror is not just about killing, it’s also about changing their lives for the better."

A suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint in Bannu in the NWFP on May 6, killing a police constable and two civilians and injuring 12 persons, including four army soldiers and four policemen, Dawn reported. According to eyewitnesses, the bomber blew himself up when police stopped an auto-rickshaw at the checkpoint near the office of an intelligence agency. Constable Naeem Khan, rickshaw driver Rehan and a passerby, identified as Rafiaz Khan, were killed on the spot. No group has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing so far. It was the second suicide attack in the province after Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud declared a cease-fire on April 24. On April 25, a car bomb exploded at a police station in Mardan, killing three people and wounding 12 others.

The Awami National Party-led Government in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and militants in the Swat district reached a cease-fire agreement on May 9, Dawn reported. The truce was achieved after three hours of talks between a Government committee and a team of militants representing Maulana Fazlullah. "We talked to each other, like Pashtuns do. They are also Pashtuns and they did understand that violence has brought nothing but bloodshed and mayhem," NWFP Minister Bashir Ahmad Bilour told Dawn in the provincial capital Peshawar. Bilour, who headed the committee formed by the Government to negotiate with the militants in Swat, said the two sides had decided to place "tega" - a Pushto euphemism for truce. He stated that the two sides had signed an agreement to stop violence in the valley, adding that the militants had agreed to stop attacks on security force personnel and Government installations. The Government, in return, would stop search operations and arrests, he added. "The ceasefire will hold until we reach a final agreement. We are going to Swat next week and will hold more talks with the militants," he said. "It was not a peace agreement but a ceasefire. This was the first direct contact with the local Taliban in which we secured a ceasefire as confidence building measure (CBM) and now we will be able to hold further talks with them for the solution of the Swat problem," member of the Government committee and provincial minister for environment, Wajid Ali Khan, told The News. A source privy to the talks said that the militants had submitted eight demands which, according to him, were ‘fairly unacceptable’. But, he said, the Government believed that the militants could be engaged in meaningful talks to resolve the issue amicably. Bilour declined to give details of the demands, but said the talks were held in a friendly atmosphere and he was optimistic about a positive outcome. He said that the militants wanted an overall agreement to include troops’ withdrawal from Swat and tribal regions. "But we have told them that troops’ withdrawal from Swat can only be discussed when there is complete peace in the valley. As for as the withdrawal of forces from the tribal regions is concerned, we made it clear that this is something that pertains to the federal Government and outside the purview of the provincial Government. They understood our position," Bilour said.

Baitullah Mehsud, chief of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, is spending approximately PKR 3 billion on militancy annually, the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Governor Owais Ahmed Ghani said on May 28.
