Six Pakistan Air Force (PAF) personnel and seven civilians were killed and 14 persons were wounded when a car bomb exploded near a bridge on the main Peshawar-Kohat Road in the southern part of Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on August 12-morning, Dawn reported. The explosion occurred when a van carrying PAF personnel was going from the Badbher PAF base to Peshawar. Police said it was not yet clear whether it was a case of suicide attack or of a bomb detonated by remote control. Among the dead were a six-year-old girl and two women who were going to a wedding ceremony. An unnamed police official told Dawn that the attack could be a revenge action for the military operation in Swat, Bajaur and other tribal areas. Bomb disposal personnel said the explosives used for the blast weighed over 20 kilograms. According to BBC, Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was in response to military operations against militants in the Bajaur Agency. "It is an open war between us and them," he told The Associated Press.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at a packed Qayyum Stadium in Peshawar on November 11, killing four people, including a policeman and three civilians. 13 more persons were wounded, according to Daily Times. Investigations Senior Superintendent of Police Ghulam Muhammad said seven or eight kilogrammes of explosives were used in the attack. Human limbs and a hand – apparently of the suicide bomber were seen on the site. Nearby cars were also damaged. The bomber is believed to be young man of around 20 years and had explosives strapped to his body, bomb disposal officer Hukam Khan said. “The bomber was stopped by the police and when he failed to enter the stadium he blew himself up at the gate,” provincial police chief Malik Naveed told reporters. The attack was made as fireworks marked the conclusion of the weeklong 3rd Inter-Provincial Games. The NWFP Governor Owais Ghani had just left the venue and senior minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour was on his way out, NWFP Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain told reporters. Awami National Party politicians have been targeted in the past by Taliban and the party’s chief Asfandyar Wali Khan narrowly survived a suicide attack last month.

Ten people, including a woman, were injured in two bomb blasts in Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), on November 24, Dawn reported. Syed Kamal Shah, the caretaker of Hussainia mosque, his wife and seven other people sustained injuries in the first blast which occurred in the second-storey washroom of his residence.

Naveed also said that after completion of the operation, the legal status of the 25 disputed villages in Michini would be changed and these would be considered as settled area where law-enforcement agencies would set up checkpoints to maintain law and order. He announced that there would be a special quota for people of the village in police recruitment.

Five persons, including three Taliban militants, were killed on November 26 in two separate clashes between the Taliban and police in Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Daily Times reported. The first clash erupted when over 100 militants, believed to have entered the city from Darra Adam Khel, besieged the house of Adezai Union Council chief Abdul Malik.

A car bomb explosion- outside an Imambargah (congregation hall for Shia rituals) near the Qisakhwani Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), killed at least 22 persons and injured more than 90 on December 5, Daily Times reported. Hospital sources said the death toll might increase because some of the wounded are in a critical condition. Imambargah Alamdar Karbala and several adjacent buildings in the Kocha Risaldar alley were damaged and the ensuing fire engulfed buildings, markets and vehicles. The powerful explosion also damaged electricity wires, plunging the area into darkness. NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said that about 20 to 25 kilograms of explosives were used in the blast, which he said did not appear to be a suicide bombing. The explosion created a five feet deep crater. The site of the bombing is one of the busiest markets in the city, with hundreds of shops in markets in narrow alleys.

At least 171 vehicles of the US-led NATO forces, including 62 armoured personnel carriers, were torched by armed attackers in two parking bays on the Ring Road in the vicinity of Pishtakhara in Peshawar on December 7- morning, The News reported. Around 130 vehicles were completely destroyed in the attack, while 40 others were partially damaged. The attack is the biggest ever on NATO logistics in Pakistan, during which a watchman was killed while two others were injured when they offered resistance to over 300 attackers, who were armed with rocket launchers, hand grenades, petrol bombs and AK-47 rifles. A worker at the Port World Logistics on Ring Road near Pishtakhara said 106 vehicles were parked in their parking lot, including trucks, Humvees, cranes, fire brigade trucks and jeeps. Over 60 other vehicles were parked at the Al-Faisal Terminal, located across the Ring Road. A worker of the Port World Terminal said that over 300 armed men fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the main gate of the parking lot and after breaking in, opened indiscriminate fire on watchmen, killing one on the spot and injuring two others. He added that the attackers later fired rockets at the parked vehicles, hurled petrol bombs and sprinkled fuel on the trucks to set them ablaze. The firing of rocket launchers and automatic weapons that started at around 3:15 am (PST) continued for almost 45 minutes. The attack is second in the past week after the December 1 similar assault when two drivers were killed and 15 NATO trucks were set ablaze. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had warned of attacking the NATO supplies through Pakistan if the American forces did not stop the missile strikes in FATA and parts of the NWFP. Since then, NATO trucks were attacked twice on the Ring Road, two kilometers away from the Peshawar Cantonment.

Taliban torched at least 53 vehicles destined for NATO forces in Afghanistan in an attack on the outskirts of Peshawar early on December 8– the second such raid in two days, police and locals said, according to Daily Times. Armed gunmen shouting ‘God is great’ attacked Bilal Container Terminal near Jamil Chowk on the Ring Road at around 3am, said Zahid Ali, a local resident. He said he heard gunshots and explosions after which a large part of the terminal caught fire. City Superintendent of Police Chaudary Ashraf said it was a sabotage attack. The number of attackers could not be ascertained, he said, and it was not clear how they entered the terminal and set ablaze the vehicles. Meanwhile, a Pentagon official said on December 8 the attacks would have a minimal impact on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan and no effect on combat operations. "The overall impact on our logistical efforts to resupply US forces, NATO forces… as well as Afghan forces has been small and had an overall insignificant impact to date… There’s been no direct bearing on our immediate combat capabilities," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.

Two US military trucks were destroyed when suspected militants attacked a parking lot with petrol bombs on the Ring Road in Peshawar, capital of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), on December 11, Dawn reported. The assailants hurled explosives in the premises of the Bilal Parking and by the time fire-fighters doused the flames two military vehicles had been destroyed. "It’s time for the federal Government and NATO forces to come forward and devise a strategy to improve security at these terminals because Police are already overstretched because of the law and order situation," said Peshawar Senior Superintendent of Police Kashif Alam. He told journalists that Peshawar had a large population and the Police had mostly been busy in providing security to its citizens. In the present circumstances it was not possible for the Police to focus on these terminals, he added.
