A suicide bomber on February 16 rammed his explosives-laden car into the election office of an independent candidate in Parachinar city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), killing at least 38 persons, including six children, and injuring 109 others, reports Daily Times. The Interior Ministry has confirmed the death of 27 people.” It was a suicide attack, there were people outside the candidate’s house and they were waiting for food when this man attacked,” Caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz told AFP. “It is a very unfortunate incident. Maximum security measures are in place for February 17 and 18 and the campaign is going to end tonight,” he added. According to eyewitness, the bomber hit the election office of independent candidate for NA-37 Kurram Agency, Syed Riaz Hussain Shah, where a large number of people had gathered. “A man with long hair drove a car into the crowd and blew himself up. There were bodies and blood everywhere,” witness Laiq Hussain told AFP. The blast came on the final day of campaigning for National Assembly (NA) polls scheduled to be held on February 18, and was the bloodiest in a series of attacks since Benazir Bhutto’s murder in December.

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.

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.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint in Bannu in the NWFP on May 6, killing a police constable and two civilians and injuring 12 persons, including four army soldiers and four policemen, Dawn reported. According to eyewitnesses, the bomber blew himself up when police stopped an auto-rickshaw at the checkpoint near the office of an intelligence agency. Constable Naeem Khan, rickshaw driver Rehan and a passerby, identified as Rafiaz Khan, were killed on the spot. No group has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing so far. It was the second suicide attack in the province after Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud declared a cease-fire on April 24. On April 25, a car bomb exploded at a police station in Mardan, killing three people and wounding 12 others.

13 persons, including five soldiers, were killed and 23 others, including 11 soldiers, sustained injuries in a suicide attack at the Punjab Regiment Centre (PRC) market in the Cantonment area of Mardan on May 18-night, The News reported. Security officials said the bomber was around 22 years old and detonated the bomb when stopped from entering a bakery at the PRC market. Provincial Minister for Local Government and Rural Development Bashir Ahmad Bilour said it was a suicide attack that might be in retaliation to the recent US air strikes in the Bajaur Agency of the FATA. The Tehrik-i-Taliban in Darra Adamkhel claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Dawn. A spokesman said the militants had asked the Government to stop military operations and pull out the security forces from Darra Adamkhel. He said the attacks would continue till the operation was called off. The PRC is reportedly a base for troops involved in operations against militants in the tribal region.

32 persons, including seven policemen, were killed and 55 others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the emergency ward of the District Headquarters Hospital in Dera Ismail Khan on August 19, Dawn reported. The attack was carried out when a large number of people had gathered there to protest against the murder of the local Shia leader Basit Ali earlier in the day. Attacked by a gunman near the Faqirni Gate, he was brought to the hospital where he died. Police said the 20 year-old suicide bomber blew himself up in the presence of police personnel who were trying to control the crowd. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack. TTP spokesman Maulvi Omar told Dawn they had targeted police and other Government officials and "did not intend to attack any specific religious sect (the Shia)." He said suicide attacks would continue till the military operations in Bajaur and Swat were stopped. The explosion took place amid tension between the Sunni and Shia communities in the region that has spawned several targeted killings in recent weeks. "The motive behind the blast appeared to be sectarian and Shia protesters were the apparent target," said a police official.

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.”
