About 400 private schools in Swat in the NWFP have announced to abandon girls’ education in their institutes in the wake of the deadline (January 15) given by the militants to discontinue the practice, depriving more than 40,000 students of their basic right to get education, The News reported. In addition, 84,248 girl students of state-run schools are unlikely to attend schools due to the fear of militants despite attempts by the local administration to reopen the schools on March 1. Maulana Fazlullah-led militants had asked all Government and private schools on December 24, 2008, to stop imparting female education by January 15, 2009.

The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on February 5 threatened to intensify attacks on the Government installations and NATO supplies if the military operations in Swat and the tribal areas were not stopped, The News reported. TTP spokesman Maulvi Omar said their men would launch attacks on Government installations if the military operations against the militants in Swat and other tribal areas continued. He claimed that a decision to accelerate attacks on the NATO supplies had already been taken and now the TTP militants would use all means to stop supplies to the US and its allies in Afghanistan. Omar said Taliban would not allow supplies to the US and NATO forces and their militants would blow up containers taking food and other stuff to the foreign forces.

A close aide of Baitullah Mehsud and senior commander of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on February 12 claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on the Awami National Party (ANP) Member of Provincial Assembly, Alam Zeb Khan, in Peshawar, Daily Times reported. “We carried out this attack and will continue such attacks on ANP leaders in future,” Hakeemullah Mehsud, who heads the TTP in Orakzai, Kurram and Khyber tribal regions, said in telephone calls to media offices in Peshawar. Alam Zeb Khan died when a powerful bomb exploded near his car in Peshawar on February 11. He became the first target of the Taliban since the Pukhtoon nationalist party took power in 2008.

Five people were killed and 17 injured in a car bomb blast outside the Hujra (male guest house) of the union council chief in Bazidkhel village of Peshawar in the afternoon of February 17, The News reported. Faheemur Rahman, the union council chief of Bazidkhel, eight kilometres south of Peshawar on Kohat Road, alleged that the Mangal Bagh-led Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) was involved in this “cheap act” of terrorism. Eyewitnesses said the blast occurred in a car parked on a street near the Hujra of Rahman. The blast also destroyed two cars and damaged six buildings. “It could be linked to the killing of nine tribesmen in Bazidkhel. Nine members of the LI were killed by a Qaumi Lashkar (militia), comprising residents of Bazidkhel and the nearby villages, when they reportedly made a failed attempt to kidnap Rahman on February 4. Mangal Bagh had warned through his FM radio of revenge, directing the villagers to hoist black flags atop their houses or every villager would be considered equally involved in the murder of his men. The villagers of the nearby towns had constituted a Qaumi Lashkar after threats from the Bara-based militant group and other militant organisations.

The Taliban in Dir District have threatened to carry out suicide attacks against their opponents and district administration in Doog Darra area of Upper Dir if they did not stop organising volunteers against militants to expel them from the area. “The central shura of Taliban has firmly decided under Sharia principles to carry out further attacks against the US agents in Doog Darra area and the law enforcement agencies if they did not stop disturbing Taliban there,” a Taliban spokesman threatened. Talking to Dawn by telephone from an unspecified location on March 1, the District chief of Dir Taliban Hafeezullah said that Mullah Mansoor had been appointed as their new spokesman in the District. While welcoming the peace deal between the NWFP Government and TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Mohammad, he said the Taliban would restart their activities if the proposed Nizam-e-Adl Regulations 2009 were not enforced forthwith. “Now the ball is not in the court of Taliban but in the court of government,” he added. Later, the newly-appointed spokesman Mullah Mansoor claimed that one of his men had been shot dead by Police in Upper Dir some days ago and then an official statement was issued that he had blown up himself.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on March 22 ordered all non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to immediately leave Swat, according to Daily Times. In an interview with IRIN, the TTP spokesman Muslim Khan said, “They come and tell us how to make lavatories in mosques and houses. I’m sure we can do it ourselves. There is no need for foreigners to tell us this... NGO is another name for ‘vulgarity and obscenity’.” He also said NGOs hired women who worked with men, in the field and in offices. “That is totally unIslamic and unacceptable,” he declared. When asked why the TTP was against the polio vaccination, Khan said, “The TTP is against polio vaccination because it causes infertility.” “I’m 45 and have never had one drop of the vaccine and I am still alive,” he said, adding that another reason the TTP was against polio vaccination was that the campaign was run by NGOs and the vaccine was imported.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad on March 24 threatened to halt his efforts for the restoration of peace if the Government did not immediately nullify all un-Islamic laws in the Malakand Division and empower Qazi courts to hear all cases, The News reported. Addressing a press conference in Mingora, Sufi Muhammad said though he was satisfied with the announcement of Sharia (Islamic law) by the Government, he was disappointed with the progress of the peace deal. “I am not convinced of the progress so far made with regard to the peace deal. The government had promised to declare all unIslamic laws in vogue in Malakand null and void but it is yet to be done despite the passage of 38 days,” the TNSM chief said. He also accused the Government of not entrusting Qazi courts with authority to hear all cases. “Qazis in the newly-established Shariah courts are sitting idle as they have not been mandated to hear crucial cases. I am not satisfied with the Qazi courts either,” he said. He threatened to quit the peace efforts in Swat if the Government did not act to practically rescind all un-Islamic laws and authorise Qazi courts to take up all cases.

The Malakand chapter of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) banned the movement and shopping by women in the main bazaars of Dargai and Batkhela on March 29. Sources said shopkeepers in the markets had received threatening letters from the TTP, warning them to stop women from visiting their shops. “Those who don’t comply with the TTP directives should be prepared to face the consequences,” the letters warned. In addition, women who were going out alone without male family members had also been warned. Some of the shopkeepers in the Super Market, Bara Market, Sitara Market, Abaseen Market, Waqar Market, Waqas Market and other shopping markets have already notified the womenfolk not to visit their shops without their male family members. The letters also warned CD and music shop owners to stop their business immediately, adding that they were spreading obscenity among the youth of the area. Sources said the TTP also warned the medical superintendent of the headquarters hospital in Batkhela to appoint male and lady medical technicians in the emergency and ultrasound wards forthwith, which had been a longstanding demand of patients.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) on April 10 Friday assured the NWFP Government that it would keep the peace deal intact, but warned that the delay by President Asif Ali Zardari in signing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation could hinder the return of peace to the Swat Valley, The News reported. The NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain and the peace envoy to the NWFP Government Afrasiyab Khattak reportedly went to Batkhela to meet the TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad, who wound up the peace camp in Swat on April 9. However, Sufi Muhammad refused to meet the visiting delegation in protest against the delay in the signing of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation. “We met him (Sufi) during the Friday prayers but he did not participate in the talks,” said Mian Iftikhar.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) and the Swat Taliban on April 12 warned parliamentarians against opposing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in the National Assembly. “Even holy prophets had no authority to make religious laws or amend them, then how can the National Assembly do it?” TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan told The News. “If members of the National Assembly opposed the judicial system of the Shariat-e-Muhammadi, they will enter the category of non-Muslims and Pakistan will become Darul Harb,” he warned. Explaining Darul Harb, he said when the rulers of a country opposed the Sharia (Islamic law), they did not remain Muslims anymore. “So a country with non-Muslims as its rulers becomes Darul Harb,” he said and added that it made Jihad mandatory on rulers. Muslim Khan, the spokesman for the Swat militants, warned that those opposing the Nizam-e-Adl would be declared Murtad or apostate. “Then, he or she should contest election on minority seat, if he or she remains alive,” he said.

Chief of the Hindu community in the Battagram city of Battagram District said on June 28 that the Taliban had threatened them to pay Jazia (tax) or accept Islam, Dawn reported. “It depends on you to choose between Jazia and Islam otherwise you would face abduction and suicide attacks,” Dr Oam Parkash quoted the Taliban as saying. He said that so far he had received two calls during the last two days: first by a Taliban commander and then by a militant. “They demanded Rs6 million from me,” the Hindu leader added. The Taliban is reported to have threatened that “if you or any other member of your community were kidnapped then we will not release the kidnapped person even after payment of Rs10 million as ransom”. Parkash said that he had made clear to both callers that the Hindus in the region were not in a position to pay such a huge amount. Parkash said that 15 Hindu families were living in Battagram but none of them had enmity with anyone in the District. “The government should take precautionary measures to protect the Hindu community as the Taliban have threatened even to target our place of worship in Battagram,” he added.

Two suicide attackers separately rammed their explosives-laden vehicles into a Police station in Bannu and a military-owned commercial bank in Peshawar cantonment area of the NWFP on September 26, killing at least 23 people and injuring around another 200, officials said, according to Daily Times. At least 10 people were killed in the attack in Peshawar, while seven, including two Policemen, were killed in the assault on the Bannu Police station. But a Police official in Bannu said 13 people had been killed. Authorities said the death toll could rise as many among the injured were in critical condition. Around 94 people were injured in Peshawar and 64, including 31 Policemen, in Bannu. "It was a car suicide blast and according to our calculations 100 kilogram’s of explosives were used," Shafqat Malik, bomb disposal squad chief, told reporters at the incident site of the Peshawar attack. "The suicide bomber sitting inside the car hurled a grenade and then he detonated himself and the car," Malik said, describing the target as a branch of a bank run by an Army welfare trust. Eyewitnesses said Police arrested two suspicious persons from the site of Peshawar blast, which occurred some 300 metres away from the headquarters of the 11 Corps and the US Consulate in the high-security zone. Meanwhile, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the Bannu attack and threatened to unleash bigger attacks on the Government to avenge the killing of their leader Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack in August, AFP reported.
