According to a handout issued by the Punjab Police, a militant, identified as Abdul Ghaffar Qaisarani alias Saifullah, reportedly the head of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), South Punjab Chapter, was killed in an encounter with Police and Law-Enforcement Agencies on August 1 in Dera Ghazi Khan District, reports Dawn. Qaisarani, of Taunsa tehsil (revenue unit), was wanted in a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in 2010 and a bank robbery in Taunsa in 2011. He had been tasked with raising funds through bank robberies and had links with Imran and Arshad Punjabi, TTP commanders in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Law enforcers had learnt that Ghaffar was travelling in a bus from Khanpur to Rajanpur. The personnel picketed Ghazi Ghat on the Indus and started checking vehicles. During checking of the bus, Ghaffar threw a grenade and tried to escape. The grenade did not explode. Ghaffar then tried to flee while firing. Law enforcers shot and killed him before he could target any one.

According to a media report, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Chief Hakimullah Mehsud on August 1 directed his fighters to step up attacks in Punjab province, especially on intelligence organisations and military facilities like the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) base in Lahore District, reported Indian Express. The TTP chief has decided to increase terrorist attacks in Punjab to "inflict maximum damage", especially in the provincial capital of Lahore, The Express Tribune quoted its sources as saying. During a secret meeting held at Asad Khel village in the lawless North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Mehsud allocated PKR 25 million for attacks targeting the PAF base in Lahore and offices of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence, Intelligence Bureau and Counter-Terrorism Department. The daily quoted an intelligence report as saying that the meeting in North Waziristan Agency was attended by top TTP ‘commanders’, including leaders of the Qari Yasin group, which is listed in the Police's "Red Book" as a high-profile terrorist organisation. The militants have allegedly carried out reconnaissance of the PAF base in Lahore and some local employees were "also collaborating with terrorists", the report said. Weapons and ammunition for the attack will be "provided by concealing them using cargo companies", the report added. Another intelligence report stated that the TTP were planning attacks similar to the one on the Mehran naval airbase in Karachi in May 2011.

The Security Agencies declared on August 7 that the NATO containers parked near Chakri in Rawalpindi District of Punjab were at a security risk, reported Daily Times. The sources said the containers were parked near Chakri due to blockade of NATO supply to Afghanistan after the November 26, 2011, United States (US) raid on Salala checkpost. The large number of containers parked in the area, have provoked the sentiments of locals as well as religious elements. The containers needed to be immediately removed from the site, an intelligence report said. The sources further said the Defence Ministry, which deals with transportation of NATO supplies to Afghanistan through Pakistan, had been informed about the risk.

Nine terrorists and two security officials were killed when Security Forces (SFs) foiled their attack on Minhas PAF base of Kamra in Attock District of Punjab on August 16, reports Daily Times. Earlier, it was reported that seven militants and one official was killed. One plane was damaged in the pre-dawn assault claimed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). TTP ‘spokesperson’ Ehsanullah Ehsan has said that four suicide bombers had carried out the attack to take revenge for the killings of Baitullah Mehsud and Osama bin Laden. He claimed that the attackers had succeeded in achieving their targets and had given a “lethal blow”. PAF said nine attackers dressed in military uniforms and armed with rocket propelled-grenades and suicide vests targeted the base and adjacent Pakistan Aeronautical Complex at 2am. The adjacent complex assembles Mirage and, with Chinese help, JF-17 fighter jets. “Eight miscreants were killed inside the Minhas base boundary wall and one miscreant exploded himself outside the perimeters where he was hiding,” the air force announced. It said there had been a shootout “for more than two hours”, and 10 hours after the assault began, spokesman Tariq Mahmood confirmed the base was “totally safe”. The attack on the PAF base in Kamra was the fourth such attack since 2007 bombing of a bus near the entrance, followed by rocket attacks on the base in 2008, and a suicide bombing on a service road leading to the base in 2009, reports Dawn. The attack came against the backdrop of reports that Pakistan was planning to launch a massive offensive against Taliban sanctuaries in North Waziristan.

One trooper was also killed in the gun battle lasting almost five hours. The militants were said to be armed with automatic weapons, grenades and suicide vests.

Although the attack took place at about 2am, it is likely many of the soldiers on the base were awake for prayers or breakfast during the fasting month of Ramadan.
