A private TV cannel reported that Baitullah’s men attacked two offices of peace committees run by Turkistan Bhitani in the Imamkhel and Umerada areas of Tank. Around 200 armed militants reportedly took part in the pre-dawn raid. The gunfight continued for about two hours, the channel reported.

Three persons were killed and 15 others sustained injuries in a powerful suicide blast close to the house of the slain Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman, Mobin Afridi, in the Momin Town area of Peshawar, the NWFP capital, on August 23, The News reported. The blast also destroyed four houses and damaged eight others in the street. “Three people, including two women, were killed and 15 others injured when the suicide bomber blew himself up in a street after he ran short of ammunition,” said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Qazi Jamilur Rehman. The bomb disposal squad estimated around eight kilograms of explosives were used in the attack. A large number of ball bearings and nails were also used in the blast to increase its intensity. The SSP said the attack was probably linked to the blast in Hayatabad in the evening of August 22, which killed Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman Mobin Afridi and his associate Haji Khan. The suicide bombers perhaps wanted to attack the house of Mubin, where people had gathered to offer condolence to his brother Sahibzada, who had rushed from Saudi Arabia to attend the funeral, and other members of the family on his death, sources said. The Ansar-ul-Islam cadres opened fire on the attacker, who returned the fire. “During an exchange of fire, the attacker got injured and ran short of rounds, after which he preferred to blow himself up instead of being caught,” said an unnamed Police official. Mobin Afridi was killed, along with his friend, when his car was blown up in Phase-IV, Hayatabad. In 2008, his brother and a former spokesman for the Ansar-ul-Islam, Maulana Mustamim, was also killed.
