According to Dawn, militants on March 3 killed two Security Force (SF) personnel in an ambush in the Ronyal village of Matta sub-division in Swat District and kidnapped, but released after some time, three NWFP Government officials. The military described the attack on SF personnel a violation of the peace agreement, but chief of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Mohammad blamed the army for moving around without informing the TNSM. The army said a captain was wounded in the ambush and two soldiers were killed when they were carrying water from a water channel. “There absolutely was no violation of the agreement on our part. Our forces were engaged by militants and we did not retaliate,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Athar Abbas told Dawn. “Our security forces are threatened, their ration supplies are disrupted and forces are attacked without any provocation. We have been exercising restraint in larger interest of the people and peace in Swat,” he said.

An ISPR press release said the attack was followed by exchange of fire which continued for an hour. Both sides are reported to have used heavy weapons. SFs fired artillery shells for the first time after a cease-fire was declared in Swat. One mortar shell hit a house, killing a man. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan claimed the soldiers were attacked because of their movement in the area without giving prior information. He alleged that the movement of troops was pre-planned and aimed at consolidating their positions. At a press conference in Saidu Sharif, Sufi Mohammad blamed the SFs for the incident and said that they had violated the truce. According to him, it had been decided that no side would move till mid-March, except with prior permission of the TNSM. He said it was agreed that whenever the troops wanted to move they would inform the TNSM in advance to avoid misunderstanding. “The troops didn’t inform us which led to the ill-fated incident,” he said. He warned that if the cease-fire violation continued, the TNSM would have to come out of the peace process. The TNSM, he said, was satisfied with the Taliban activities, but had reservations about the role of SFs in the peace process.

The NWFP Government struck a 17-point deal with the banned Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) in the Swat valley on March 4, Daily Times reported. “A 17-point understanding was reached with a TNSM delegation … music has been banned in Swat and it has been agreed to expel prostitutes and pimps from the district,” said a senior official. The Awami National Party (ANP) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-led the provincial Government at the talks, while Maulana Safiullah and spokesman Amir Izzat Khan represented the TNSM – with Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed also in attendance. The meeting came a day after suspected Taliban militants killed two army troops and continued taking Government officials hostage, despite having agreed to a cease-fire in the wake of the provincial Government’s February 16 accord on the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law) in Swat. “Music and vulgar CDs will be banned; shops will remain closed during prayer times and the complete implementation of sharia laws in the region will come into effect from the 16th of this month… Vulgarity would be rooted out and profiteers dealt with under the law. An anti-crime campaign will be launched and Quran classes will be started for jail inmates in the region,” according to the key points of the understanding. The Malakand Commissioner’s office released to the media the 17-point understanding – which does not say if the Taliban would stop abducting Government officials and attacking Government forces. The Commissioner told the TNSM delegation that he would forward the 17 points to the Chief Secretary in Peshawar for the Government’s approval, said the officials.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad and Swat Taliban chief Mulla Fazlullah met at an undisclosed location on March 5 to discuss the implementation of the Swat peace deal with the Government, Daily Times reported. Sources said that Sufi had firmly told Fazlullah to stop armed Taliban militants from patrolling Mingora and other parts of Swat and lay down weapons immediately. Sufi said talks with the provincial Government had been satisfactory and the Taliban’s demands would be met soon, while Fazlullah’s response had also been positive, they said. Meanwhile, the TNSM spokesman Izzat Khan told Daily Times after a meeting between a TNSM jirga and the Malakand Commissioner that the Government had accepted only one demand for the withdrawal of the army from Imamdheri Markaz. He said that Takhtaband-Angrodheri Road was still closed, "and this is making us suspicious … the government should take steps to overcome my group’s mistrust".

The provincial Government on March 18 directed the judges of subordinate judiciary of the Peshawar High Court in Swat not to attend courts and restrict themselves to their houses, Daily Times reported. The order came after a warning from the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad to the judges of Swat not to attend their courts. A civil judge in Swat told Daily Times that after Sufi’s warning, they had been directed by the Government and district administration not to attend courts due to security concerns. The judge, however, said most of the judges had started deciding cases of petty nature at their houses due to security reasons.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on March 22 ordered all non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to immediately leave Swat, according to Daily Times. In an interview with IRIN, the TTP spokesman Muslim Khan said, “They come and tell us how to make lavatories in mosques and houses. I’m sure we can do it ourselves. There is no need for foreigners to tell us this... NGO is another name for ‘vulgarity and obscenity’.” He also said NGOs hired women who worked with men, in the field and in offices. “That is totally unIslamic and unacceptable,” he declared. When asked why the TTP was against the polio vaccination, Khan said, “The TTP is against polio vaccination because it causes infertility.” “I’m 45 and have never had one drop of the vaccine and I am still alive,” he said, adding that another reason the TTP was against polio vaccination was that the campaign was run by NGOs and the vaccine was imported.
