Police in the Mianwali district claimed on January 17 to have foiled a terrorism bid when it arrested three ‘potential car bombers’ when their car had an accident on the Bannu-Mianwali Road on December 21, 2007, according to Dawn. The ‘potential bombers’ later revealed to the police that former federal minister Sumaira Malik belonging to the adjacent Khushab district was their target; and had they not been struck in the accident, she would have been targeted the next day in a suicide attack.

The Chakwal police said on January 16 that they had arrested a suicide bomber and seized eight kilograms of explosive material and other bomb devices from him, according to Daily Times. Chakwal District Police Officer Maqsood Khan told a press conference that police raided a house in the Thoha Mehram Khan village and arrested Abdul Ghafoor. "Ghafoor has confessed to have had a plan to kill former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and Chakwal District Nazim Sardar Ghulam Abbas at a public meeting that was to be held in Talagang," Khan said, adding that the meeting had been postponed in the wake of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s killing in Rawalpindi. Khan also stated that Ghafoor and his associates were now planning to attack Muharram processions in Chakwal and Talagang. He said 23-year-old Ghafoor was a member of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM).

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up on August 21 at the gates of the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) in the high security cantonment town of Wah in Rawalpindi District of Punjab, killing at least 70 persons in what was described as the deadliest attack on a military installation in the country’s history, Dawn reported. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack. The POF at Wah is a cluster of about 20 industrial units producing artillery, tank and anti-aircraft ammunition for the Pakistani armed forces, according to Daily Times. It employs around 25,000 to 30,000 workers. The bombers blew themselves up outside two gates of the factory at 2.35pm (PST) when hundreds of workers were leaving after a shift change. Most of the victims were civilian workers. The first explosion occurred outside the main gate and it was followed by an equally powerful blast at gate No.1 located close to a busy market. Witnesses said the bombers were on foot and they exploded themselves within a minute of each other. The death toll could increase as 35 of the injured were in critical condition, hospital sources said. Security force personnel found a ‘suicide vest’ in the toilet of a nearby mosque and arrested a suspected suicide bomber, Hameedullah of Khyber Agency, from the Mall Road. According to sources, police arrested three suspects. One of them was said to be "covering up" the suicide bombers. A belt filled with explosives was also found in a mosque, the sources said. Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar claimed responsibility of the suicide attacks saying that they had been carried out in retaliation for military operations in Bajaur and Swat. Talking to Dawn, he warned that such attacks would also be carried out in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Mardan, Bannu, Kohat and Swat.
