At least 90 persons were killed when a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden pickup truck in the middle of a volleyball game in the Shah Hasan Khel village of Lakki Marwat District in the Bannu Division of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on January 1, according to Daily Times. Police said more than 60 persons are being treated at local hospitals. Local Police chief Ayub Khan told Reuters the bomber blew himself up in an SUV in the middle of the field and there was believed to be a second vehicle, which fled the scene. Khan said the bomber drove a vehicle loaded with around 250 kilogrammes of high-intensity explosives into the field, which lies in a congested neighbourhood. Some nearby houses collapsed and “we fear that some 10 or so people might have been trapped in the rubble.” Khan said that more than 20 houses, on both sides of the open ground where the match was being played, had collapsed. In addition, a group of local tribal elders was holding a meeting at a nearby mosque. The mosque was damaged and some people inside were killed, he added further. “Four paramilitary soldiers are also among the dead,” he informed. Another Police official said that some 300 people were on the field when the incident took place. A large number of them are said to have been elderly residents and children. Meanwhile, the NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said the death toll might rise further, adding, “The locality has been a hub of militants. Locals set up a Lashkar (tribal militia) and expelled the militants from this area. This attack seems to be a reaction to their expulsion.” Security Forces have cordoned off the village.

The US troopers were travelling in a convoy with local troops, journalists and officials to the opening of a girls’ school. At least 115 persons, including 95 schoolgirls, were also injured in the attack. While the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said an improvised explosive device (IED) was used in the attack, the Associated Press said there were conflicting reports about the source of the blast. Some officials said it was a roadside bomb detonated by a remote control, while others claimed it was a suicide car bomb. A statement by the US embassy in Islamabad said that the US troopers killed in the attack were training Frontier Crops (FC) troops on a request by the Pakistani Government. “Three Americans were killed and two injured in an explosion,” according to the statement. A statement by the Pakistan Army said the dead included a FC soldier. However, it said three “foreigners” were among the injured.

Eight persons, including three Policemen and two children, were killed, while 23 others were injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the house of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain in the Khan Sher Garhi area of Peshawar on July 26, according to Daily Times. At the time of the attack, a number of people were gathered in and outside the Awami National Party (ANP) leader’s house to condole the death of his son, Rashid, who was gunned down by militants on July 24. “A suicide bomber blew himself up when a Police constable tried to stop him from entering the residence of the minister,” Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Liaquat Ali said. Eyewitnesses, who had come to offer condolences, said that the suicide bomber, aged between 20 and 22, was wearing black clothes and detonated the explosives when Police tried to stop him from entering Iftikhar’s house. Police said 10 kilogrammes of explosives were used in the attack. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying their goal was to kill Iftikhar Hussain because his political party “is allied with the United States”. “This is just the beginning,” Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press by telephone. “We will carry out more attacks against the party. We will destroy their roots,” he said.

At least 18 persons were killed and 32 others were injured when a suicide bomber blew up a passenger van at a bus stand in Tirah bazaar (market) of Kohat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on December 8, reports Dawn. The blast took place at around 1.50pm (PST) when people were returning home in Lower Orakzai Agency from the bazaar. The explosion damaged 11 other vehicles. The Police media cell said the suicide bomber appeared to be 18 to 20 years old and his jacket contained six kilograms of explosives. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Usman Ali, a spokesman for the TTP Kohat chapter, told on telephone that “One of our Fidayeen has carried out the attack. I cannot disclose his name at this stage. I can only confirm that my superiors ordered the attack.” Kohat division commissioner Khalid Khan Umerzai said that “We have 197,000 internally displaced people in Kohat. I have sent more than 4,400 families over the past four days to Orakzai Agency, but their presence in such a large number is an imminent threat to security.” Daily Times reports that it was a sectarian attack as most of the passengers belonged to Shia community. The daily quoting Usman Ali, the TTP Kohat chapter spokesperson, reports that “Shias were targeted and more such attacks would follow”. Eyewitness Waheed Ahmed said the bus stand was used mainly by passengers from Shia-dominated areas of Orakzai and Kurram, where sectarian violence has rocked the local population.
