Six bomb blasts were reported from different localities of Khyber Agency’s Bara area on September 1-night, reported Dawn. Political Agent Roshan Khan informed that the explosions occurred in the Pakka Tarha, Alam Godar, Speen Kabar, Nala Khwarh, Naway Qamar and Dogra areas. However, no casualty was reported. While officials claimed that the explosions were aimed at creating harassment in the area local people said they had found letters at blast sites “heralding” the arrival of the Taliban in Bara. The letter said the local Taliban had no enmity with any individual or a religious organisation, but warned of strong resistance if anybody tried to harass or arrest them. It said the blasts were a warning to people in Bara who had shed the blood of Pakistani and Afghan “Mujahideen”.

Taliban militants said on September 2 that they had abducted scores of soldiers, demanding the withdrawal of troops from tribal areas in exchange for their release, according to Daily Times. “Our colleagues have captured them and put them in jails,” Zulfiqar Mehsud, a spokesman for the militants, told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location. He said the fighters had surrounded the soldiers and forced them to surrender their weapons. “We took them into custody because the soldiers were preparing to launch an operation in South Waziristan,” he said, claiming responsibility for the kidnapping of 10 additional soldiers of the Frontier Corps on September 1. He said negotiations for their release could start once the government agreed to honour a peace accord it concluded with tribal militants in February 2005, under which Islamabad agreed to withdraw troops from the area.

According to Dawn, the Taliban killed two persons at Kohat in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on September 4. A spokesman for the Taliban alleged that the two men used to supply arms to criminals, especially to Amir Said alias Charg, who was killed during August 2007 in a militants’ operation in the Akhurwal area of Darra Adamkhel. He warned that anyone who supplied arms to criminals would meet the same fate. The Taliban spokesman also said the group would soon burn a huge quantity of drugs.

The spiralling number of suicide attacks in Afghanistan is often carried out by young Afghan men who pass through religious schools in Pakistan, a United Nations report said on September 9, AFP reported. Some attackers appeared driven by anger at the presence of international forces and the civilians being killed in their anti-Taliban operations, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) study said. Others were motivated by religious zeal or were young boys who had been abducted and forced into the task or somehow persuaded they would survive and earn rewards such as cash, a motorcycle or a cell phone, it noted. There were 77 suicide attacks in the first six months of 2007, about twice the number for the same period in 2006 and 26 times higher than from January to June 2005, the survey disclosed. This year to June, suicide bombings killed 193 people, including 121 civilians, even though three-quarters of the attacks were targeted at Afghan and international security forces, it stated. 62 Afghan security personnel and 10 international soldiers were also killed. Till August 2007, there had been 103 attacks, compared with 123 for the whole of 2006. The first such attack in Afghanistan was carried out by al Qaeda operatives on September 9, 2001, in which the then Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was killed. There were five between 2001 and 2005 - and they jumped in 2006 to become today an "integral part" of the Taliban's strategy but also used by other Islamist anti-government groups. Little was known about the attackers said the study, based on interviews with about two dozen men jailed in Kabul for failed suicide attacks, and analysis of data and media reports. "They appear to be young (sometimes children), poor, uneducated, easily influenced by recruiters and drawn heavily from madrassas across the border in Pakistan," the report said. The "majority of those who came from Pakistan are Afghan, but not all, either refugees or coming in and out of Afghanistan," UNAMA head Tom Koenigs told reporters ahead of the document's release. There are more than two million Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The report, however, cited a "senior" Taliban commander as saying that more than half were not Afghan citizens, with some coming from Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Arab countries. He also said 80 percent of suicide attackers passed through recruitment centres, training facilities or safe houses in Pakistan's Waziristan area. "The tribal areas of Pakistan remain an important source of human and material assistance for the insurgency generally but suicide attacks in particular," the report said.

Taliban militants attacked a military base near the Afghan border on September 13, leading to an encounter with the security forces in which at least 50 militants and two soldiers were killed, according to Dawn. Eight soldiers were wounded in the clashes. Military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad said security forces repelled repeated militant attacks. Army helicopters and ground fire destroyed four militant positions, he added. He said the army’s initial estimate was that at least 30 militants were killed, but added later that tribesmen informed officials that up to 50 militants had died in the military attack. He dismissed a claim by militants that they had killed over 100 soldiers in the region in the past two days as "totally false" and "baseless". As reported earlier, the security forces also killed around 40 militants on September 12.
