The new chief of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Hakeemullah Mehsud, thought by Pakistani and US officials to have been killed in infighting, appeared before a small group of journalists at an unspecified place in South Waziristan on October 5, vowing to avenge the killing of his predecessor Baitullah Mehsud and expedite attacks on US and Pakistani forces, Dawn reported. The international media reported on October 3 that US intelligence agencies believed that Hakeemullah died in a fire-fight with a rival faction weeks ago. Hakeemullah was reportedly accompanied at the meeting with journalists by Fidayeen-i-Islam commander Qari Hussain Mehsud, Taliban’s South Waziristan chief Waliur Rehman Mehsud and TTP spokesman Azam Tariq. He alleged that both Pakistan and the US were involved in drone attacks which had killed a large number of innocent women and children. Hakeemullah said Pakistan had been created in the name of Islam, but its rulers were subservient to the American and Jewish lobbies. He said “This is why we are opposed to the army and Pakistani rulers. The Taliban are not against the people of Pakistan,” adding that the jihad would continue till the enforcement of Sharia (Islamic law) in the country. The TTP chief accused the government of having provided 1,000 of acres land for expansion of the US embassy and said that American agencies had hired over 200 houses in Islamabad to promote their agenda. He also said that agents of the Blackwater security agency were patrolling the streets of Islamabad and Peshawar. In reply to a question, Hakeemullah said the TTP had links with Al Qaeda and other jihadi forces throughout the world. The Shura Ittehadul Mujahideen was fully intact and he had held a meeting with its leaders only three days ago, he added. He ruled out differences among Taliban groups and said that claims of clashes among them were false. “You (journalists) can see it for yourselves that I (Hakeemullah), Waliur Rehman and Qari Hussain are alive and safe and sound. The news of clashes among us and our fight for succession are false and fabricated to mislead the Taliban,” he said. Hakeemullah also said that the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban were one and there were no differences between them. According to him, “The Afghan Taliban are fighting the allied forces under the leadership of Mullah Omar and we are his followers.” He accused the government of violating several agreements it had reached with the Taliban and said: “If it (the government) accepts our demands, we are ready to hold talks.”

Fighter jets bombed Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) Pakistan strongholds of Makeen and Nawazkot in South Waziristan on October 6 - killing six militants and injuring three others, Daily Times reported.

Daily Times reported that the incident occurred in the Hangu city in the NWFP. According to sources, the two men, Shahid and Shah Nawaz, had been kidnapped three days ago.

The shura was also reportedly attended by members from Waziristan. The sources said bodies of Hafiz Kamal, Hafiz Mujahid, Ghulam Mohammad, Basit and Manzoor were lying at a place on the Orakzai-Parachinar border with bombs tied to them.

49 persons, including a woman and seven children, were killed and 90 others were injured when a suicide attacker detonated his explosives-laden car at the crowded Soekarno Chowk in Khyber Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of NWFP, on October 9, The News reported. A Police official said that people were busy in routine activities when a suicide bomber detonated the explosives laden in his car. Many of those killed and injured were passengers of a mini-bus that was passing through the area at the time of the blast. Seven children, many of them schoolboys, and a woman, were among those killed. The blast destroyed around 30 vehicles and partially damaged over 60 shops in the nearby markets. Windowpanes of hundreds of shops and offices were also reportedly destroyed. Among those killed or injured were patients and their attendants going or coming out of the nearby Lady Reading Hospital, the biggest public sector hospital in the NWFP. An official of the bomb disposal unit (BDU) estimated that around 50 kg of high-intensity explosives had been loaded in the car, being driven by the suicide bomber, while another official said the explosives were around 100 kg. “As the explosives were loaded in the doors and side cavities, it caused more damage to the nearby buildings rather than creating a huge crater in the ground,” a BDU official said. There were reports that the bomber attempted to reach the NWFP Assembly building through Sher Shah Suri Road but was not allowed by the Policemen near the Peshawar Central Prison. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Malik Naveed termed the attack a reaction to the ongoing military operations in Swat and parts of the FATA. The Deputy Medical Superintendent at Lady Reading Hospital, Sahib Gul, said the blast killed 50 people and wounded 120 others, 22 of them critically. Dr Gul said the death toll could increase, adding that most of the dead were beyond recognition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.

The Government imposed a curfew in the region, shutting down all link roads to and from Waziristan and jamming the mobile and telecommunication systems in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank, Lakki Marwat and Bannu Districts. Official sources said the military was converging on Taliban strongholds from three directions — Jandola in the east, Shakai in the west and Razmak in the north. They said initial reports had revealed the Taliban were putting up a “stiff resistance” to the army’s advances. The local population of the conflict-stricken areas has moved to safer places, with the UN predicting around 250,000 people fled their homes in anticipation of the operation. Authorities have set up registration camps for these internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Tank and Dera Ismail Khan. Sources in the FATA Secretariat said 12,800 families had already been registered in Dera Ismail Khan and Tank, adding, preparations were underway to accommodate more in the relief camps.

A remote-controlled car bomb killed at least 105 people – including women and children – and injured around 200 others at the Meena Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, on October 28, Daily Times reported. "We have received 92 bodies and some parts of bodies and 200 injured people – including 70 women and children," said Haider Afridi, chief executive of the Lady Reading Hospital. He said around 25 people – mostly women – were in critical condition, while only 25 bodies had so far been identified. "Nineteen of the dead are women and 11 are children. All the dead are civilians," Dr Zafar Iqbal told the AFP news agency. The NWFP Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain, however, said, "More than 80 people were killed ... around 200, mostly women and children, were injured in the car bomb blast." Bomb disposal squad chief Shafqat Malik told reporters that 150 kilograms of explosives were used in the remote-controlled blast. He said that some people were still trapped under the rubble. According to the AFP, the explosion brought down buildings. A three-storey building and a mosque, Masjid Umme Habiba, situated in the narrow bazaar, caved in while six other structures were engulfed by a huge fire caused by the explosion, The News reported. Around 12 houses and over 60 shops were gutted while almost 300 other shops and houses were severely damaged due to the powerful explosion at around 12:40 pm. The Meena Bazaar is famous for women’s dresses, cosmetics and children’s garments. Minister Iftikhar Hussain told journalists that the blast was linked with the ongoing military operation in South Waziristan against the Taliban, saying, "foreign terrorists – including Arabs, Chechens and Uzbeks – stationed in Waziristan are carrying out attacks in Pashtun areas". However, no group has claimed responsibility for the bombing so far, according to Daily Times. The Capital City Police Officer Liaqat Ali told reporters that terrorists were "confused" because of the security in the city, and were – therefore – targeting public places. He said, "There was information that an explosives-laden car had entered the city." Meanwhile, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have denied involvement in the bomb blast and claimed they do not explode bombs in bazaars and mosques, The News reported. According to an Al Qaeda statement, they are not involved in the killing of innocent people. Al Qaeda sources said elements who want to defame Jihad and refugees are behind the Peshawar bomb blast. The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan in an email sent to the media also condemned the blast and denied its involvement in the incident.

33 Taliban militants were killed in the decisive battle for control of the Mehsud mainland in the Sararogha area on October 31, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said, according to Daily Times. Four army personnel were injured in the attack. "Security forces have entered Sararogha," the statement added. "The town has been surrounded from all three entry points. All the key positions and ridges around Sararogha have been taken over by security forces," it said. "During the process of moving forward, intense exchanges of fire took place. Thirteen terrorists have been killed. The military will begin its clearance operation of Sararogha in the next 24 hours. There is a substantial presence of terrorists in the town," ISPR Director General Major Gen Athar Abbas said. By being on the brink of controlling both Sararogha and Kaniguram – the two main Mehsud towns where Taliban militants held great sway – the military appears to be moving ahead of schedule. Also, advancing from the Shakai side, the military captured Karama village, a training centre of Uzbek militants. Separately, the military cleared Nawazkot of Taliban militants and moved onto the outskirts of Makeen.
