A roadside bomb blast hit an election campaign convoy in Swat on February 13, killing two people and injuring three others, according to Daily Times. Mufti Hussain Ahmed, an independent candidate contesting for the NA-30 and PF-86 seats, was among the wounded. “Ahmed was travelling in a convoy of 8-10 vehicles on a campaign when the blast occurred, killing two people,” said senior police official Waqif Khan. The government has reportedly blamed several recent blasts on Baitullah Mehsud, but Mehsud’s spokesman Maulana Omar told Reuters on February 13 that the local Taliban would not interfere in the elections and would not be involved in any attack before or on election-day.

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.

A remote-controlled bomb ripped through a wedding party procession on February 22, killing 14 people and critically wounding 13 others, mostly children, in the Matta tehsil (administrative division) of Swat district in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), hospital and police sources said, according to Daily Times. The bomb, which was detonated in the Ronial Takh Maira area of the region, exploded around 4pm (PST) when the wedding party was travelling from Kandogai village to Pir Dar Baba village. The bride, four children aged between five and 12 years, and four bystanders died instantly. "There was a remote-controlled bomb explosion which targeted a wedding party. Two cars were destroyed including the car in which the bride was travelling, [and] she died," local police officer Haroon Khan told AFP. Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier Javed Cheema confirmed that the bomb had targeted the wedding party. He and an ISPR spokesman had earlier said that eight people were killed in the bombing. This was the first such incident after the completion of the largely peaceful parliamentary elections on February 18. None of the militant groups have accepted responsibility and police have not made any arrests thus far. Following the blast, the security forces restarted the military operation in Matta and shelled suspected positions of militants from Kanju, Channel-5 reported.

40 people were killed and more than 75 others sustained injuries when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the funeral prayers of the slain Deputy Superintendent of Police (Lakki Marwat), Javed Iqbal Khan, in the Mingora city of Swat district on February 29-evening, The News reported. Among the dead were a son of the deceased police officer, Ghazan Khan, and the Station House Officer of Mingora police station Habib Jamal. Independent sources, however, put the death toll at 50, fearing that the number could rise as majority of the injured were in a critical condition. According to AFP, nearly 1,000 people were attending the funeral. Reuters quoted the number as 500, adding that most of the casualties were policemen. District Police Officer Waqif Khan said the bomber was among the people taking part in the funeral, Dawn reported. Residents of Mingora said that the blast occurred when the funeral concluded and the people had started to disperse. "A huge and deafening explosion rocked the school building when a police party had begun presenting guard of honour to the deceased," said Haji Dost Mohammad. Deputy Superintendent of Police Javed Iqbal, who died in a bomb blast along with three other policemen in the troubled southern Lakki Marwat district on February 29-morning, belonged to Makan Bagh in Mingora city.

According to military sources, Taliban militants attacked a bunker of the security forces with mortars and heavy guns at 4pm (PST).

As the peace accord between the NWFP Government and the Taliban in Swat district has virtually become ineffective, violence in the Swat Valley is gradually increasing, The News reported. On July 25, suspected militants bombed a government girls’ high school in the Tutano Banda area of Kabal division, a cloth market in Charbagh and a barbershop in Golibagh. However, no loss of life was reported in these incidents. The eight-room building of the girls’ high school completely caved in after the blast. With it, the total number of destroyed schools in the Swat valley has reached 60. According to officials, 62 girls’ schools have been closed due to the refusal of female teaching staff and students to attend school on account of the precarious security situation in the valley while another 10 have been occupied by the troops. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said his group was not behind the blast and laid blame on a ‘third party’. He said that local Taliban were not against girls’ education although they opposed the system of women’s education in Pakistan.

Commander Ali Bakht, a close aide of Maulana Fazlullah, and 13 other militants were killed in the Swat district of the NWFP on August 6. Major Farooq of the Army Media Centre in Swat informed Dawn that nine top militants, including Ali Bakht and Fazal Wadood, had been killed during an operation in the Deolai area of Kabal sub-division early in the morning.

Ten army soldiers, seven policemen, 50 militants and a number of civilians were killed in a suicide attack on a police station and the subsequent military operation in Swat on August 23, Dawn reported. A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden jeep into the Charbagh police station at 7.45am (PST), killing four policemen and three civilians. 20 others were wounded. About 100kg of explosives were reportedly used in the attack. Military spokesman in Swat, Major Nasir Ali, told Dawn that soon after the suicide attack, security forces (SFs), backed by helicopter gunships, targeted militants’ hideouts in the valley, killing 50 Taliban militants, including their top commanders and foreigners. Ten army soldiers were killed and seven others injured in the fighting and three army vehicles were damaged. Several militant hideouts, including their command and control centre in Kabal, were destroyed. Major Nasir said the operation would continue till all objectives were achieved and the government’s writ was restored. However, the Taliban dismissed the military version, claiming in turn that they had killed 33 SF personnel. Spokesman Muslim Khan said that the Taliban had carried out the suicide attack in reaction to the killing of 14 militants in Doaba in the Hangu district on August 22. He said, “It is only a beginning and more attacks will come if the operation is not stopped in Swat.”

13 more persons were killed in continuing violence in the Swat district of the NWFP on August 24 while two more bodies were retrieved from the rubble of the Charbagh police post, blown up in a suicide attack on August 23, The News reported. Tension prevailed in the Kabal sub-division where the security forces (SFs), backed by gunship helicopters and artillery, carried out a daylong operation against militants. The military said that it had destroyed the centre, which served as one of the militants’ main command and control, logistic-cum-training and launching pads for terrorist activities and killed about 10-15 foreign militants, including Chechens, Uzbeks and Tajiks. According to the military, the slain foreigners belonged to Tahir Yuldeshev’s Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). "We have credible information about the killing of 10-15 foreign militants out of the 45 killed on Saturday," the ISPR spokesman in Swat, Nasir Ali, told The News. He claimed most parts of Kabal had been cleared of the militants and action would continue till the elimination or eviction of the militants in other parts. However, a spokesman for the Swat unit of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Muslim Khan, rejected the military claim about the killing of foreign militants as baseless. He also disputed the claim about the killing of 45-50 militants in Kabal as unfounded and said instead 30 corpses of the security forces personnel were lying scattered in Kabal. The spokesman also asked parents and other relatives of soldiers to stop their loved ones from coming to Swat for taking part in the military operation in the valley or no "requests" of their relatives after their arrest would be accepted.
