Malakand Range Deputy Inspector General of Police TanvirulHaq Sipra said a new elite force would be raised for the maintenance of law and order in Swat district. Sipra told a press conference at the Mingora Press Club that after the creation of the force, police would not need the help of the Frontier Constabulary or other departments. He said that around 1,500 personnel would be deployed at seven centres to be set up in Swat. He said that the number of police stations in Swat is being increased from nine to 22, and the number of policemen, which at present stands at 1,500, will also be doubled. He said that Swat would be divided into rural and settled area administrations, with each area headed by an officer of the senior superintendent of police (SSP) rank. The number of Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) is also being increased from four to 10, with each DSP responsible for two police stations.

The NWFP Government and the Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) agreed on July 7 to keep their agreement intact and carry forward the dialogue process for lasting peace in the Swat district, according to Dawn. Sources said that about six hours of talks were held in the Taliban office in Saidu Sharif and the two sides discussed each other’s reservations to some provisions of the May 21 accord and agreed that the dialogue would continue. Provincial minister Wajid Ali Khan told journalists that the talks were held in a cordial atmosphere and both sides put forward positive proposals. He said the Government would enforce Sharia (Islamic law) in Swat in three months and the Taliban would be given representation in the committee formed for the purpose. He said the administration would wind up ‘unnecessary’ check-posts and armed patrolling and display of arms would be stopped. He also stated that the Government would release the people associated with Taliban after studying their cases and necessary legal procedure. He said payment of compensation to the families affected by the operation had commenced on July 6.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on July 14 announced suspension of talks with the NWFP Government due to delay in non-implementation of the May 21 peace accord. Talking to The News, spokesman for the Taliban in Swat, Muslim Khan, said the Government was not sincere in keeping its commitments made during the talks in the past. "The Government failed to honour its promises made during the last two months of talks and now it will be meaningless to continue the process of dialogue," he said. He also said that it would be waste of time to continue negotiations without the dismantling of roadside checkpoints, withdrawal of all cases against Taliban, withdrawal of Army from Swat and compensation to the victims of the military operations. This is the third time that the Taliban in Swat operating under the command of Maulana Fazlullah have discontinued peace talks. Muslim Khan said if the Government was really sincere in establishing peace through talks, it should translate its promises into action. "We agreed to the provincial Government's request for a three-month time for the enforcement of Shariah, but it had assured the immediate implementation of other promises. Now it is dilly-dallying. The Government should categorically inform us about its position," he stated. However, the NWFP Minister Wajid Ali Khan said the peace pact was still intact and the Government was committed to the implementation of the accord and release of Taliban prisoners.

The Government has accused the Taliban of violating the peace agreement in Swat by abducting law-enforcement personnel and running militant training centres, according to Dawn. In a statement issued on July 16, the district coordination officer and local police chief said Taliban militants had abducted policemen Nezar Ali and ZerQias and demanded release of 10 militants in return for their freedom. The officials said the Taliban had not raised the issue of release of the militants during earlier negotiations. “Taliban should respect the peace deal and free the personnel immediately,” they said, adding that the Government had already released 19 militants unconditionally. The officials said the Taliban did not attend a scheduled meeting of the joint implementation committee for the accord on July 16. “Training centres for subversive activities at eight locations in Swat district, including Baila Gut, Malam Jaba, Zora, Dadhara, and Peochar, are still operating and activities at these hideouts have increased in violation of the agreement,” they said. The officials also said the Taliban had renounced militancy and accepted the writ of the government. They had promised not to run a parallel administration or display weapons in the valley. Despite the agreement, there have reportedly been seven attacks on police and five on the army; 10 officials have been killed and three police posts, 15 schools and five private buildings, including a hotel in Malam Jaba, have been set ablaze since May 21. They also said Taliban’s FM radio station was being used from time to time to criticise Government’s policies in violation of the accord.

Two militants were killed and several others sustained injuries as security forces and the local Taliban militants traded fire near Sarbanda and Shawar valley of Matta division in the Swat district on July 21, Dawn reported. According to military sources, Taliban militants attacked a bunker of the security forces with mortars and heavy guns at 4pm (PST). In retaliation, the troops targeted the militants’ hideouts with heavy artillery and consequently, two militants were confirmed dead and several others feared dead or wounded. However, the Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed that only two children were injured as an artillery shell hit a house in the area and not a single militant was killed. He said the Taliban reserved the right to retaliate in self-defence wherever and whenever attacked by the security forces.

As the peace accord between the NWFP Government and the Taliban in Swat district has virtually become ineffective, violence in the Swat Valley is gradually increasing, The News reported. On July 25, suspected militants bombed a government girls’ high school in the Tutano Banda area of Kabal division, a cloth market in Charbagh and a barbershop in Golibagh. However, no loss of life was reported in these incidents. The eight-room building of the girls’ high school completely caved in after the blast. With it, the total number of destroyed schools in the Swat valley has reached 60. According to officials, 62 girls’ schools have been closed due to the refusal of female teaching staff and students to attend school on account of the precarious security situation in the valley while another 10 have been occupied by the troops. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said his group was not behind the blast and laid blame on a ‘third party’. He said that local Taliban were not against girls’ education although they opposed the system of women’s education in Pakistan.

The Swat-based militant chief Mullah Fazlullah on July 27 warned of a series of suicide bombings if the Government re-launched military operations against his supporters, Daily Times reported. Addressing a press conference in the Kabal division of Swat district, the Taliban leader claimed that he had prepared a brigade of suicide bombers who would be unleashed in case of a military operation. He said the attacks on official installations were in reaction to the Government’s action against the Taliban and denied reports that the Taliban in Swat were using child bombers. Fazlullah alleged that the Pakistan Army was involved in anti-Islam activities, adding that these would not be tolerated.

He said the TTP would resume peace talks with the NWFP Government only if it imposed the Shariah (Islamic law) immediately and put the peace agreement to practice. He said TTP was not against the administration of polio drops to children if their parents agreed to it and directed women not to come out of their houses without male relatives.

48 militants, including a commander, and five soldiers were killed and an unspecified number of people were injured as fierce clashes continued in the Swat Valley of the NWFP for the second consecutive day on July 30, The News reported. The fighting erupted on July 29 after the militants attacked a security post in their stronghold in the Matta sub-division and took about 25 security force (SF) personnel hostage. After the overnight targeting of various militants’ positions, the SFs, backed by gunship helicopters, carried out an operation and shelled suspected militant positions in several parts of the valley, including Peuchar, Namal, Ronial, Sarbanda and Chuprial that left 48 persons dead and as many injured. The Taliban militants also claimed killing 25 SF personnel, but the claim could not be confirmed independently. A military spokesman said in the daylong clashes with the militants, one officer, a junior officer and three soldiers were killed. The two sides clashed in the Sijbanr area of Matta in which, according to the military spokesman, approximately 25 militants were killed. In the Sarbanda area of Matta, hundreds of militants attacked the troops and claimed killing 30 SF personnel. The claim was rejected by the military, which said that only two officers and three soldiers were killed in the attack. Further, SFs also killed 12 militants and injured several others when they attacked the militants, who had laid siege to the Matta police station. The militants targeted the Wenai check-post with rockets and one militant was killed when the troops retaliated. Backed by gunship helicopters, the SFs also attacked suspected positions of the militants in the mountainous area of Peuchar, killing ‘commander’ Maulvi Hussain Ali alias Tor Mulla and 10 others. The attack also left six militants, including commander Nisar, injured. In the Jura area of Matta, shelling by the Army gunship helicopters injured 13 people. In the Shangwatai area of Matta, two persons were killed as the peach orchard, they were working in, was targeted by military gunship helicopters. In addition, approximately 24 mortar shells landed in Nihag Darra area on the Swat-Dir border injuring two persons. The militants also blew up a Government hotel in Malam Jabba, which they had torched earlier, and an Army rest house in the Charbagh sub-division. They also blew up a Government girls’ school in Gulibagh and bridges in the Gurra, Ronial and other areas of Matta. The local military officials said curfew across the Swat Valley would remain in place till further notice. The militants also blocked roads in Kabal sub-division, Chota Kalam, Ningwalai and other mountainous areas with huge boulders and tree trunks suspending traffic on the Matta-Mingora road. Muslim Khan, spokesman for the local Taliban, told Associated Press that only five militants had been killed in the clashes and claimed that they had killed more than 30 soldiers. "The morale of our Taliban is high and security forces are retreating in several areas," he claimed. He said the militants were fighting in self-defence and blamed the Government for "not honouring" the May 2008 peace agreement. "If the Government doesn’t announce a formal end to this deal, neither will we," Khan said. Talks, for the moment, were out of question, he added.

Eleven militants and two security force (SF) personnel, including a Pakistan Army captain, were killed during day-long clashes between the SFs and the Maulana Fazlullah-led militants in the Swat Valley of NWFP on July 29, The News reported. The militants also abducted 25 SF personnel after taking over a security post in the Dewlai area which, the officials claimed, was recaptured later in the day. A total of 19 people, including six women, sustained injuries during the clashes. Sources said some 500 militants laid siege to the Dewlai police post and after SF surrendered they were subsequently driven away to an unknown location. An ISPR spokesman in a statement confirmed the abduction of 25 SF personnel. The militants briefly occupied the police post before being driven out by the troops that clamped a curfew after establishing their control over the town.
