Ajmad Farooqi of splinter fraction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack on the GHQ, a private TV channel reported.

In a successful 18-hour operation, the armed forces – in collaboration with Special Services Group commandos – killed four terrorists, arrested one and rescued 39 hostages at a security office outside the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi on October 11, ending a siege that began on October 10, Daily Times reported. Three civilians and two Security Force (SF) personnel were killed on October 11, while seven SF personnel and three civilians were injured during the 18-hour operation – which culminated in the arrest of the ringleader, Aqeel alias Dr Osman. Although Aqeel was injured, sources said his condition is stable. Six soldiers and five terrorists had already been killed in the siege on October 10. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General, Major General Athar Abbas, said that two army officials were killed and seven others injured in the commando operation. Three civilian hostages were also killed in the operation, he added. The ISPR chief said eight SF personnel, including a Brigadier and a Lieutenant Colonel, nine terrorists and three civilians were killed on October 10 and 11, while the total number of injured was 15 – 12 army personnel and three civilians. He said the operation to rescue the hostages began around 6am (PST), and continued for 45 minutes in the first phase – during which commandos rescued 30 hostages and killed four terrorists. He said the five terrorists killed in the first phase were armed with suicide vests and tried to resist the troops. “The terrorists had suicide jackets, improvised explosive devices, grenades... they wanted to blow up all the hostages and cause maximum damage,” the AFP quoted him as saying. “Terrorist Aqeel alias Dr Osman was overpowered at around 9am in an injured condition when he tried to blow himself up and the rest of the hostages ... triggering a blast in adjacent offices of the security building ... five security personnel were injured in the final phase of the operation,” he said. The siege began just before midday on October 10, when terrorists in military uniform and armed with automatic weapons and grenades drove up to the Rawalpindi compound and shot their way through a checkpoint. AFP quoted a security official as saying that Aqeel was also wanted in connection with a rocket attack on former president Pervez Musharraf in 2007 and the killing of the military’s surgeon general in February 2008. “He is a known terrorist. His name is mentioned in several cases,” the unnamed official was quoted as saying.

Six Army personnel, including a brigadier and a lieutenant colonel, were killed and five others seriously injured when militants clad in Army uniform attacked the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the Army in Rawalpindi at around 11:30am (PST) on October 10, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Athar Abbas told Daily Times. He said that the highly trained militants armed with sophisticated weapons aboard a Suzuki van entered the office of the Security staff outside the premises of the General Headquarters and took 10 to 15 officials hostage. They opened fire and hurled hand grenades when they were stopped for checking at the first check post. He said that five of the 6 to 7 militants who attacked the headquarters were also killed in retaliatory fire of the Security Forces (SFs). “Five terrorists, one of whom was a suicide bomber, were killed in the ensuing gunbattle. Three to four accomplices of the terrorists, however, managed to cross over the grassy grounds unnoticed during the shootout,” Gen Abbas said. The SFs have cordoned off the entire area and a siege was continuing to arrest the terrorists alive. The slained brigadier and lieutenant colonel were identified as Anwaar and Waseem, respectively.

A division bench of the Lahore High Court on October 12 accepted two petitions moved by the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JD, also known as Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT]) chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, and quashed two criminal cases against him on charges of delivering a speech that urged Muslims to fight against the US, Israel and India, Daily Times reported. The petitioner’s lawyer, A. K. Dogar, said the cases had been registered under Section 11-F(4) of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997, but the section was not applicable to JD, as it was “not a terrorist outfit”. The bench asked the Assistant Advocate General if he had any document to prove if JD was a banned organisation, but it was found that no such notification had been issued by the federal or provincial Governments. Aziz also said that the JD had not been included in the list of proscribed organisations, and the outfit was only on a “watch list” because of its alleged involvement in terrorism activities.

At least 19 persons, including 14 Security Force (SF) personnel, were killed and 41 others sustained injuries in three separate terrorist attacks in Lahore, capital of Punjab province, on October 15, The News reported. All nine attackers were also shot dead by the SFs, officials said. The attacks were carried out at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) building on the Temple Road, the Manawan Police Training Centre and the Elite Police Academy on the Bedian Road. The District Emergency Control Room reportedly received the first call of a terrorist attack at 9:40am (PST) on the FIA building. After 15-16 minutes, the control room received other calls of attacks on the Manawan Police Training Centre and the Elite Police Training Academy at 9:55am and 9:56am, respectively. In the first attack, a terrorist wearing an explosive vest attacked the FIA offices. The assailant reportedly opened indiscriminate fire at the people, killing six persons, including two FIA inspectors, on the spot. Police cordoned off the building and subsequently killed the terrorist. Police recovered a hand-grenade, seven chambers, some dry fruit and an explosive vest from the possession of the terrorist. The Police also arrested a suspected youth, aged around 20, from near the FIA building. However, Daily Times reported that at least three terrorists attacked the FIA building, killing seven people. A witness said the attackers shot dead two SF personnel, and entered the premises. FIA personnel inside the compound killed one of the terrorists, while FIA sources said one of the attackers was arrested. AFP reported that one of the gunmen escaped. In the second attack, four terrorists stormed the Elite Force Training Centre and an encounter continued till afternoon until the SFs killed the two attackers and freed a family they were holding hostage. Two other attackers blew themselves up, Police said. The General Officer Commanding (GOC) Lahore, Major General Shafaqat Ahmed, told journalists that the Pakistan Army and Police carried out a successful operation and the training centre had been cleared of terrorists. The SFs killed two out of four terrorists — one at the main gate the other on the rooftop of a building. The other two terrorists blew themselves up. An Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, Ghulam Jaffar, and a civilian, Adil, were killed and seven Policemen were wounded in the attack. The attackers of the Manawan Police Training School, wearing Police-like camouflage fatigues, lobbed a grenade and opened indiscriminate fire at the trainees, killing 11 Policemen and a civilian and injuring 34 Policemen. However, Daily Times reported that nine Policemen died and 60 were injured when four attackers wearing suicide jackets attacked the compound. Three of the men blew themselves up, while one was subsequently killed by the Police. This is the second terrorist on the Manawan Police Training School. On March 30, 2009, eight police recruits and a civilian were killed when a group of 10 terrorists attacked the training facility.

A Anti-Terrorism Court in Lahore on October 19 sentenced Hijratullah, a man charged with involvement in the March 30, 2009 attack on the Manawan Police Training School in Lahore, to ten years in prison, Daily Times reported.

Authorities had also confiscated grenades, daggers, a wireless device and an Afghan passport from him. However, Hijratullah was acquitted of charges in another attack on a Police Station on The Mall due to lack of evidence. At least 26 people were killed and over 150 injured in the first siege of the Manawan training school in March.

Security agencies have arrested two of the highest ranking Punjabi Taliban ‘commanders’, who are believed to have masterminded the attack on Army’s General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi on October 10, 2009 and other high-profile attacks in Lahore. The two ‘commanders’, identified as Iqbal and Gul Muhammad, both hailing from Faisalabad, were arrested earlier this week by law-enforcement agencies, senior officials disclosed to Dawn on October 22. They were members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Shura, the umbrella council of about top 40 militant commanders that coordinates and oversees Taliban activities in Pakistan. The two, who were in charge of militancy in Punjab, officials claim, served as the link between Taliban’s main leadership in Waziristan and the Punjabi Taliban network, a grouping of sectarian and Kashmir focussed militant groups responsible for the Taliban attacks in Punjab and the federal capital. Their arrest came after telephone intercepts by intelligence agencies and disclosures by Muhammad Aqil alias Dr Usman, who led the October 10 attack on the GHQ and was the only attacker to be arrested after the siege. Iqbal and Muhammad are said to be of the same ranking in the militant hierarchy as Aqil, who was also one of the TTP Shura members. Security sources said the two were involved in most of the major attacks in Punjab in 2009, including the one on the GHQ and the three coordinated attacks in Lahore on October 15. At least one of them is believed to have escorted the GHQ attackers.

The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that the US does not have any evidence of India's involvement in Balochistan amid Pakistan's allegation that New Delhi was fomenting trouble in the province, Rediff reported.
