A group of clerics (religious scholars) from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on January 9 issued a fatwa condemning terrorism and stating that Jihad can only be declared by the head of an Islamic state, not by individuals, reports Samaa TV. In the fatwa (religious edict), the scholars declared that not everyone has the right to declare Jihad, and that avoiding the laws of the land is unlawful. They also stated that it is haram (forbidden or unlawful) to take up arms and wage war against police and military personnel. If soldiers and policemen are killed while protecting Pakistan, they are considered martyrs, according to the fatwa. The fatwa also addressed the issue of rebellion against the State, stating that insurgency against the ruler of the time is considered sedition, and that perpetrators deserve punishment. It stated that sedition and rioting within the Islamic state, as well as incitement against the state, are not permitted under Sharia (Islamic law). The fatwa declared that anyone involved in sedition is considered to be rebelling against the Constitution of Pakistan. The 14-page fatwa has been signed by 16 religious scholars from difference schools of thought, including Maulana Qari Ehsanul Haq, Mufti Subhanallah Jan, Dr Maulana Attaur Rehman, Maulana Hussain Ahmed, Maulana Dr Abdul Nasir, Mufti Mukhtarullah Haqqani, Maulana Tayyab Qureshi, Maulana Salmanul Haq Haqqani, Maulana Rehmatullah Qadri, Maulana Umar bin Abdul Aziz, Allama Abid Hussain Shakri, Mufti Mairajul Din Sarkani, Mufti Raza Mohammad Haqqani, Mufti Khalid Usmani, Mufti Sheikh Aijaz and Maulana Abdul Kareem. KP Chief Khateeb Maulana Tayyab Qureshi, one of the signatories, said the Ulema had issued the fatwa to answer some questions related to jihad. Maulana Tayyab Qureshi said: “Recently some so-called ulema tried to create chaos using Islam. After that, it became our responsibility to issue the fatwa.”

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on July 10 claimed that the militant group Islamic State (Daesh) is behind the recent targeted attacks against religious scholars and members of minority groups in the provincial capital Peshawar, reports Dawn. “The CTD has arrested Daesh affiliate Aminullah and killed another, Zafar, following their encounter with the special patrolling squad, Ababeel Force, in the provincial capital,” Additional Inspector General (AIG) Shaukat Abbas. He said on June 25, a gunman killed member of the Christian community Mushtaq and fled but he was intercepted by the Ababeel Force on the Ring Road near Garhi Qamardin area. “As soon as the gunman saw the force, he opened fire at it injuring three personnel. The force retaliated and killed him,” he said. The official also said the Police seized a pistol, a motorcycle, two SIM cards, a BRT card and an Afghan citizen card carrying the name of Khalid Khan son of Musafir. Official reveals 15-20 militants identified, CTD closing in on them. Initial investigation identified the gunman as Zafar, an Afghan national living in the Rasheed Garhi area of the provincial capital. Further investigation, especially leads from Zafar’s mobile phone, helped the CTD arrest Zafar’s father-in-law, Ameenullah, according AIG Shaukat Abbas. The AIG Shaukat Abbas said around 60 network members, who escaped from the prison after the Islamic Emirates formed the government in Afghanistan, reportedly entered Pakistan. They, however, said it was unknown how many of those militants were active. AIG Shaukat Abbas said that targeted attacks against religious scholars and members of religious minorities began in March. He said it was a challenging task to “trace the militant network and identify its members.” The official said nine people had been targeted since March and they included Sikhs, Christians, and Muslim scholars. “Scientific methods were adopted, while a pattern was followed connecting the dots. The forensic evidence showed that just one pistol was used in all these attacks,” he added.

The KP Information Minister Feroze Jamal Shah Kakakhel on July 26 claimed that “foreign elements” were involved in the recent militant attacks in the province, reports Dawn. “It is too early to name foreign elements behind acts of militancy as things are being investigated,” the Minister told Dawn. He, however, said the Government would share details of the probe into militant attacks with the media in “near future”. Earlier, the Minister told a presser at Peshawar that militants wanted to destroy peace in the province. Minister Kakakhel said though neighbouring countries were fighting militancy, “some elements” were opposed to Pakistan’s development and wanted instability in the country. He said 46 checkpoints and seven Police Stations had been established in the province’s tribal Districts to improve security, while 8,000 personnel were trained by the armed forces and 325 surveillance cameras were installed in the provincial capital. Armed forces provided 25 armoured vehicles to the Police, Minister added.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police formed Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams to fight militancy amid growing attacks, Dawn reported on August 25. The initiative comes as the Police department analysed the security situation and found out that two-thirds of the nationwide militant attacks took place in KP, according to an unnamed senior official. “Our [police] analysis reveals that around 70 per cent of militant attacks have been carried out against us. A total of 154 casualties have been reported in such attacks this year compared to 63 in 2022,” the senior official told Dawn under condition of anonymity. He said SWAT teams were raised to deal with “high-risk situations”, while a centralised core intelligence wing for efficient intelligence operation and field intelligence units were established at regional and District levels for localised insight.

A Provincial Home and Tribal Affairs Department report said that the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam – Fazl (JUI-F) is the most vulnerable among mainstream political parties to terrorist attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while next on the list are the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) and Awami National Party (ANP), Dawn reported on November 26. The report, a copy of which is available with Dawn, comes after the November 22 meeting of the Provincial Intelligence Coordination Committee. Political leaders, who are businesspersons by profession, too, are threatened by militant groups into paying extortion, according to the report submitted by the department to the Peshawar High Court in connection with a PTI petition for contempt proceedings against the provincial government and Mansehra administration for blocking its workers’ convention in the district despite the court’s orders. The report also said there were “significant threats to the PTI due to its anti-establishment stand.” “These threats emanate from the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and other militant groups, which desire to cash [in on] this opportunity to pressure and malign the present government,” the report said. It also said that the areas in close proximity to Afghan border or bordering tribal districts showed “heightened threats.” The report said that 360 people were killed and 958 injured in 738 terrorist attacks between January and November 2023 with the deceased including 121 civilians and 239 members of law-enforcement agencies. It also said that 653 personnel of law-enforcement agencies and 305 civilians suffered injuries in those attacks. The report said that 246 incidents of terrorism were reported in the last two months leaving 65 personnel of law-enforcement agencies and 24 other people dead and 93 civilians and 164 officials of law-enforcement agencies injured.
