A spokesman for the cleric, Maulana Fazalullah, denied involvement in the recent attacks and bomb blasts in Swat. "Our movement and activists are peaceful and they have no role in the violent and terrorist attacks in the district," the spokesman, Sirajuddin, told Dawn. "We do not believe in intimidating, harming or killing Muslims, and this is against the teachings of Islam," Sirajuddin claimed. He also said the Lal Masjid operation had caused hatred among people against the army and the law and order situation would worsen if movement of troops in the area continued. He stated, "We do not want army’s deployment here. Before deployment no violent incident had taken place in Swat. Peace will prove elusive as long as army is stationed here."

Capital City Police Officer Abdul Majeed Marwat linked the incident to the series of bomb attacks on CD shops across the province. An unknown radical outfit had reportedly been issuing threatening letters to owners of CD shops for the last four months to terminate their "un-Islamic" business, otherwise, they would be taken to task.

At least 50 people were killed and 200 others injured on October 9 after fighter jets bombed a village market near Mirali town in North Waziristan, according to Dawn. Two planes made six sorties around 3pm (PST) and dropped 12 bombs on Ipi village, three kilometers east of Mirali. Military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad said the bombing had targeted militant hideouts in the Ipi, Khedherkhel and Khushali Torikhel villages of Mirali sub-division, adding that he had no confirmation of the number of fatalities. He, however, put the number of militants killed in three days of fighting at 150 and the army’s casualties at 45. "Security forces have also turned down the ceasefire request of militants as their demand cannot be met," the military said, adding that security forces would "continue punitive action till complete peace is restored in restive North Waziristan". Reuters reported that families were streaming out of Mir Ali town of 50,000 people and outlying villages, making their way on foot, in tractor trailers and cars. "Eighty to ninety per cent of families of Mir Ali have gone. Just one or two people are staying behind in each house to guard their belongings," said Sher Khan, a resident.

He admitted that the government had lost its writ in 59 villages and supporters of the cleric had set up a parallel government. He said the cleric had over 4,500 armed volunteers, he had set up an armed wing called Shaheen Force and established courts. The home secretary said that foreign militants and members of the banned organisations were also hiding in the troubled area, adding that elders of Swat had requested the caretaker government to deploy troops in the district to re-establish the government writ.

18 soldiers and two civilians died and 35 others, including nine civilians, were injured in a bomb blast aimed at a vehicle carrying Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel in the Swat district of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on October 25, according to Daily Times. The blast occurred at Nawan Killi, about a kilometer from Swat city, at around 2:45 pm (PST). It set off an explosion of ammunition carried inside the military truck, triggering bullet fire. The blast also damaged 25 shops, a service station, a CNG station and a petrol pump. "I suspect this was the handiwork of a suicide bomber… Part of the truck has been blown up. There is no crater to suggest that it was a roadside bomb. It has been hit from the side," Frontier Constabulary Commandant Malik Mohammad Naveed, whose force suffered most casualties, told Dawn. NWFP Home Secretary Badshah Gul Wazir said: "Investigations are on. But it appears to be the work of a suicide bomber, whether he walked up to the truck or rammed a vehicle into it is yet to be determined." Deputy Inspector-General of Police Akhtar Ali Shah said the evidence suggested a suicide bombing. An AFP report quoted a Swat administration official Fazlur Rehman as saying that 30 people had died in the blast.

Militants on October 26 publicly executed four security force personnel in a village, 16-km west of Mingora, the headquarters of Swat district in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), and exchanged heavy gunfire with security forces in a nearby sub-district, according to Dawn. Masked militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles brought the four men to the village at around 5pm, fired a few shots in the air and later beheaded them. "Let this serves as a warning to all those who spy for the government or help the government. All sons of Bush will meet similar fate," a resident quoted one of the militants announcing shortly before the execution. People in Shakkardarra said that militants of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), who had set up check-posts on the main road and took positions on hills, seized the four men during the checking of vehicles. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the execution, but Maulana Naddar, a lieutenant of TNSM leader Maulana Fazlullah, said in a broadcast on an FM radio that the men had been executed to avenge the death of three militants killed early in the day.

At least 29 people were killed and 55 others wounded on the third consecutive day of clashes between Taliban militants and the security forces (SFs) in the Swat district of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on October 28, according to The News. The dead included 15 militants, 11 SF personnel and three civilians. Unconfirmed reports, however, said that 20 SF personnel were killed in a suicide bombing in Sangota. There were conflicting claims from both the sides as the military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad put the death toll of the militants at 50-60. “The report about the casualties is based on intercepted messages of the local militants,” he claimed. However, he had no information about the fatalities suffered by the SFs. “I can’t give you an exact figure of the casualties from the security forces because the Army is not directly involved in the operation. We have provided them only gunship helicopters,” Waheed added. Sirajuddin, a purported spokesman of the local Taliban and military commander, claimed that no one was killed from their side. He added that 20 SF personnel were killed in a suicide attack in the Sangota area. Sirajuddin also claimed of having blown up a police post in Manglawar on the Malam Jabba Road.
