Elections remained peaceful throughout the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on February 18 amid fears of suicide attacks, bomb blasts and violence from militants, Daily Times reported. NWFP Special Home Secretary Khalid Khan Umarzai said that the elections all over the province were held with a peaceful atmosphere, except for an incident in Karak district in which one person was killed and another wounded when supporters of the Awami National Party and an independent candidate clashed in the PF-40 constituency’s Ghara Khel polling station. However, minor violent incidents were reported from the province. Militants blew up Middle School Shakardara polling station in the Matta area of Swat district and set ablaze the election material. Gunship helicopters later shelled the Shakardara area but no casualties were reported. Militants also targeted a security forces convoy with remote-controlled bombs in the Shakar Dehri and Charbagh areas, while a bomb exploded in the Dheri area of PF-83 constituency. No casualty was reported in these incidents. Peshawar remained peaceful during the elections and no untoward incident was reported in any part of the city. In Charsadda, Dera Ismail Khan and Bannu, no violent incidents were reported. According to Dawn, women voters were barred from casting their votes in several parts of the NWFP. In some areas, polling was stopped over allegations of bogus voting, leading to scuffles among female supporters of a number of candidates. In the outskirts of Peshawar, some political parties had joined hands in barring women from casting their votes. Tribal elders and local leaders of ANP, PPP, PML-Q, PML-N and JUI-F struck an agreement on February 17-night to keep women out of the electoral process, some people of Shakkarpura area of Peshawar told Dawn. "The local leadership, after holding a jirga (council), decided that women will not cast their votes. They made the announcement on Sunday night from a local mosque," they said. Threatening pamphlets issued by militants and religious extremists were plastered on walls on the Kohat road close to Darra Adam Khel, warning women of suicide attacks if they came out to vote. Similar threats forced reportedly women to remain indoors in the Baddabher, Sarbund, Matanai, Sungo, Daibahadur, Achar, Ghari Ata Mohammad, Bahdur Kalay and Mathra areas. In Timergara, women were stopped from voting in the Lower Dir district, officials and witnesses said. The number of registered women voters in the district was 145,377. No woman turned up at any of the polling stations. The overall turnout was also low because of the boycott announced by Jamaat-i-Islami which has a large following in the district. Women voters in Bachkan Ahmadzai, Aezerkhel, Jhangkhel and Chandukhel were also forced to stay indoors. The situation was the same in most areas of the Karak, Swabi and Hangu districts.

42 people were killed and at least 58 others were wounded in a suicide bombing at a tribal peace jirga (council) near the Zarghunkhel check-post in Darra Adam Khel in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on March 2, according to Dawn. The jirga (council) of Zarghunkhel, Akhurwal, Sheraki, Bostikhel and Toor Chapper tribes had been convened to discuss the formation of a Lashkar (army) to drive militants out of the area. A severed head was reportedly found at the site and officials believed it was that of the bomber. Some people identified the teenager as a youth from the Sheraki area of Darra Adam Khel. The jirga was attended by over 1,000 tribesmen. It had started at about 9am and ended at two hours later after unanimously deciding to form a Lashkar and calling upon the army to withdraw troops from the area. The meeting also sanctioned action against militants, who were attacking people in the name of Islam. Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema told PTV that the meeting was to finalise a resolution to punish anyone who sheltered or helped militants, including al Qaeda, Taliban and other foreign extremists, AP reported.

The Army deployed tanks in Darra Adamkhel after security forces (SFs) clashed with militants on May 11 while the road between Kohat and Peshawar has been blocked, Dawn reported. Sources said two non-combatants were wounded in an exchange of fire. Fighting was continuing till late in the evening. Local people said that the tanks moved in at about noon after militants attacked soldiers checking vehicles near the Friendship Tunnel on the Indus Highway. They said that the soldiers retaliated and the militants consequently took refuge in a private school in the Shagiwal locality of the Darra town. The troops surrounded the school and tanks pounded its building. Militants had earlier blown up a college building in the area and abducted two people three days ago from the Indus Highway. The SFs also arrested seven militants from a school in the Mazid Khel area in Darra Adamkhel.
