Senior leaders of the al Qaeda, allegedly operating from Pakistan have re-established significant control over their network and over the past year have set up a band of training camps in the tribal regions near the Afghan border, according to American intelligence and counter-terrorism officials, according to Daily Times. A report in the New York Times on February 19 said that according to American officials there is mounting evidence that Osama bin Laden and his deputy had been steadily building an operations hub in the Pakistani tribal area of North Waziristan. The United States has also identified several new al Qaeda compounds in North Waziristan, including one that officials said might be training operatives for strikes against targets beyond. American analysts told the newspaper that recent intelligence showed that the compounds functioned under a loose command structure and were operated by groups of Arab, Pakistani and Afghan militants allied with the al Qaeda. They receive guidance from their commanders and Ayman al Zawahri, the analysts said. According to US officials, the training camps had yet to reach the size and level of sophistication of the Qaeda camps established in Afghanistan under Taliban rule, but groups of 10 to 20 men are being trained at the camps and the al Qaeda infrastructure in the region is gradually becoming more mature. American officials and analysts said that several factors in Pakistan have come together to allow “core Al Qaeda” to regain some of its strength. The emergence of a relative haven in North Waziristan and the surrounding area has helped senior operatives communicate more effectively with the outside world via courier and the Internet. The linkage between the London bombers and Pakistani training facilities is also being cited as additional evidence of Pakistan’s complicity.

Security agencies claimed on February 22 to have averted at least four major terrorist attacks in different parts of the country and said that 19 suspects, who were being controlled by some people in tribal areas near the Afghan border, had been arrested. An interior ministry official told Dawn that seven people had been arrested from Dera Ismail Khan on January 29. They were local Taliban and belonged to the Mehsud tribe from South Waziristan. Further, 12 Afghan nationals were arrested for suspected links with militants in Faisalabad on January 29, he added. The interior ministry official informed that a countrywide terror alert, especially in capital Islamabad, had been issued after investigations revealed presence of some suicide bombers in various parts of the country. The terror threat level had not been lowered from ‘red alert’, he added.

There is a province-wide offensive on girls’ schools, video stores and barber shops in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) by the Islamist radicals, their supporters and sympathisers, according to a report in Christian Science Monitor on May 31, according to Daily Times. These three, viewed as “symbols of Western-oriented life”, are being destroyed by religious extremists in a growing wave of violence. Four girls’ schools have been bombed and violent threats have been circulated that girls should stay home. While no girls or school staff have been killed, girls in some areas have stopped attending classes, the report points out. According to the report, entrenched tribal, religious, and economic imperatives in conservative areas regard the schooling of girls as either improper, since girls should not venture outside the purview of the family home, or unnecessary, since girls are often needed for work. The Monitor report notes that in 2002, the NWFP government allocated 70 percent of its entire education development budget to girls’ schools and created more than 300 primary and middle schools for girls between 2002 and 2005. Local authorities also gave parents small stipends and free clothing to encourage them to enroll their girls. It is these new schools that extremists like Maulana Fazlullah from Swat tend to target. For months, using a pirated radio channel, Fazlullah had warned locals against sending their girls to school, calling it un-Islamic and a violation of purdah (veil).

A special report, which the New York Times claims to have been shown, warned President Pervez Musharraf that Islamic militants and Taliban fighters were rapidly spreading beyond the tribal areas and that without “swift and decisive action,” the growing militancy could engulf the rest of the country, Daily Times reported on July 1. The report prepared by the Interior Ministry said that security forces in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) were outgunned and outnumbered and had forfeited authority to the Taliban and their allies. “The ongoing spell of active Taliban resistance has brought about serious repercussions for Pakistan,” according to the 15-page document. “There is a general policy of appeasement towards the Taliban, which has further emboldened them,” it said. This report was taken up at the June 4, 2007-meeting of the National Security Council in Gen. Musharraf’s presence. An unnamed Western diplomat called the document “an accurate description of the dagger pointed at the country’s heart,” adding: “It’s tragic it’s taken so long to recognise it.”

According to the Interior Ministry report, even areas like Peshawar, Nowshera and Kohat are threatened by Talibanisation. The Interior Ministry document reportedly mentions the names of well-known Taliban commanders as well as those of lesser-known militants who lead the Taliban patrols responsible for assassinations and suicide bombings in smaller jurisdictions in the NWFP. The paper quotes Brigadier Mahmood Shah, who was in charge of security in the tribal areas until 2006, as saying, “It’s a policy of appeasement. It hasn’t worked. The Talibanisation has increased in the past year.”

Militants belonging to some unnamed banned outfits have started a new campaign of issuing life threats through letters to Christians, especially in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Punjab for the last three months, according to The News. Aftab Alexander Mughal, in his report on minorities' concerns in Pakistan, said Christians in Peshawar, Charsadda and Shantinagar had been receiving threatening letters for the last three months. The letters read, "We have already sent you letters some times back but you did not listen to our advice. We know that either you have torn or burnt the letters. Through this action you have committed blasphemy and you are liable to death. We will spare you only if you follow our demand otherwise you will be killed." He said people were scared and did not know what to do. "Police and other local authorities are not taking this issue seriously and they are living in fear. Christians, Hindus and Sikhs form a tiny minority in the NWFP and are living under constant pressure. Many laws also curtail their freedom as equal citizens. The blasphemy law is a classic example, which has been misused against us," he added.

According to The News, fierce clashes ensued on October 31-night between the militants and the security forces (SFs) at Khwazakhela town in the Swat district of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) with conflicting reports about casualties. The NWFP Home Secretary, Badshah Gul Wazir, put the number of casualties at 60-70, all militants, while the Taliban spokesman claimed that only one of their colleagues and seven civilians, including two women, were killed. There were, however, some independent reports of the killing of 56 people, including 41 militants and 11 SF personnel, and injuries to some 26 persons. According to some reports, a Frontier Corps (FC) camp also came under the Taliban siege, which the Home Secretary rejected. Sirajuddin, who is the spokesman and military commander of Maulana Fazlullah, claimed that they had taken at least 70 paramilitary soldiers and two foreigners hostage.

Military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad said that the latest round of fighting began at 4:30 am when the militants attacked a check-post and the troops responded with mortar and small arms fire. He informed: "It is going on and helicopters are still engaged by law enforcing agencies… According to the information I have from the police and Frontier Constabulary, between 60 to 70 miscreants were killed in Swat's areas of Khwazakhela today." Locals of Khwazakhela, the main point of fighting on November 1, said that the military helicopters started strikes at 4 am, leading to an exodus of the local populace for safer places in the upper parts of the district – Madyan, Bahrain, Miandam and other places. Mortar shells were fired at the Taliban's alleged hideouts at Baryam, Salandai, Imam Dherai, Koza Bandai from the FC camp near Mingora, airport and other areas.

30 more people, including 20 militants and four civilians, were killed and more than 70 others, including 50 civilians, injured as security forces continued bombing suspected militants’ hideouts in the Shangla and Swat districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on the third consecutive day on November 15, according to The News. Military spokesperson Major General Waheed Arshad confirmed that 20 militants were killed - 12 of them in Shangla and eight in Swat. He said several militants were injured and their bunkers destroyed in the daylong shelling by the gunship helicopters and artillery in both the districts. The spokesman termed as baseless the militants’ claim that 60 soldiers were killed in Shangla in two days of fighting. Further, Gen Waheed admitted to have received some reports about civilian casualties in the Shangla district, but did not provide any details. “For the first time the troops have started operation to clear the Bisham-Shangla road and attacked a critical gorge about 5km from Alpuri. We have reports of the killing of 12 militants in that action,” Gen Arshad told Dawn. He claimed that the militants had abandoned Alpuri and fled to the mountains near Mingora.

He said most of the militants were killed in Shangla while their death toll in Swat was 56. “Security forces entered the town of Imam Dheri, the main base of Maulana Fazlullah… He has gone underground,” Major Iqbal told AFP. Earlier, the chief military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said in Rawalpindi that 200 to 215 militants were killed in Swat and Shangla. However, there was no independent confirmation of the claim. About losses suffered by the military, Major Iqbal said four soldiers were killed while 15 wounded in the two days of fighting. He added that six more bodies of slain militants were recovered on November 28. He claimed one of them was an Uzbek national. Major Iqbal informed that the SFs had cleared the area between Mingora and Shakardarra in Matta subdivision, which had been a stronghold of the militants.

Intelligence agencies have warned against a spate of suicide attacks by terrorists based in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Swat, targeting VVIPs, including President Pervez Musharraf, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the US and Indian embassies and sensitive national and military installations, sources told Daily Times on December 13. “The high value targets include the top government hierarchy, top politicians including former religious affairs minister Ejazul Haq, and the Attock Oil Refinery in Rawalpindi. Besides the US and Indian embassies, their consulates and several other religious and political personalities are also on the hit list,” said a confidential National Crisis Management Cell report. The report titled, “Threat to VVIPs, Politicians, Foreign Missions and Military Installations,” was forwarded on December 12 to all home secretaries and police chiefs of the four provinces, the federal capital, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the Northern Areas. The report reveals that militants from the FATA and Swat are planning to carry out suicide attacks in collusion with al Qaeda. Sources said the terrorists could be guised as women, or be in military or police uniforms. “Furthermore, five suicide bombers have already entered the NWFP to move to their target areas,” the report suggested. “The emphasis needs to be on the security of foreign diplomats, foreigners living in Pakistan, and the Christian community who would attend Christmas prayers at different churches in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It is apprehended that hardcore religious elements may try to disrupt the New Year celebrations,” the report stated.
