The year 2018 saw a remarkable reduction of 45pc in militant attacks in Pakistan, Dawn reported on January 2 quoting a study conducted by Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). The PICSS study showed that the security situation significantly improved in the year as the number of attacks, resultant deaths as well as injuries declined by 45pc, 37pc and 49pc, respectively, compared to 2017. The number of suicide attacks also declined. According to a press release, militants carried out 229 attacks in different provinces in which 577 people were killed - 356 civilians, 152 security forces personnel and 67 militants. Besides, 959 people were injured, including 693 civilians and 261 security personnel. But the ratio of security forces’ casualties per attack significantly increased in 2018 compared to 2017. A consistent decline in militant attacks was noticed since the launch of Operation Zarb-i-Azb (‘Sword of the Prophet’, also ‘sharp and cutting’) in June 2014. The average militant attacks per month declined from 35 in 2017 to 19 in 2018. In 2014, it was 134 which dropped to 59 in 2015 and 42 in 2016. Average militant attacks per month decreased from 35 in 2017 to 19 in 2018, report says. Balochistan remained the most troubled province where the highest number of militant attacks (99), highest number of deaths (354) and highest number of injured (570) were recorded. Of the total attacks in the country, 61pc of the deaths and 59pc of the injuries took place in Balochistan. The second highest number of attacks (65) was recorded in the erstwhile FATA in which 107 people were killed and 150 injured. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 40 attacks were recorded in which 72 people were killed and 174 injured. As many as 14 attacks were reported from Sindh in which 21 people were killed and 20 injured. Punjab saw six militant attacks in which 18 people were killed and 42 injured. More footprints of the militants were observed in Gilgit-Baltistan than the previous years as four militant attacks were recorded in the area during the year in which five people were killed and three injured. At least 12 schools, mostly of girls, were destroyed in a single night in the Diamer District. In 2017, 23 suicide attacks had been recorded in the country. However, the number declined to 18 in 2018 in which 267 people were killed and 460 injured.

Sindh Police's Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) have developed a technical team under its anti-terror wing that has started monitoring all digital platforms amid their growing use for “promotion of ideology of hatred, anti-state activism and militancy”, a senior official said on January 17, reports The Dawn. The fresh development from the Sindh Police came after a series of steps announced by the federal government and institutions, including Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), where “the infiltration of anti-state elements and promoters of different ideologies which cannot be dubbed as pro-nationalism” have sparked concerns, necessitating immediate and strong measures. The FIA a few months ago allowed establishing of 15 cybercrime reporting centres in the country. Five of the centres will be opened in Punjab, three each in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), two in Balochistan and one each in Islamabad and Gilgit-Baltistan. The decision was taken in accordance with Section 51 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2015, which grants the government powers to take all necessary measures for the prevention of cybercrime.

Mohammed Sabir alias Ayub, the fugitive accused, among the most wanted in terrorism cases in Kerela, is settled in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi and using that country’s passport to travel to Dubai. Sabir is an accused in the Kalamassery bus burning case, the trial of which will commence at the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) court soon, reports The New Indian Express on May 7. “We’ve information that he’s frequently travelling between Dubai and Rawalpindi using a Pakistani passport. As he’s holed up in Pakistan, like Indian Mujahideen (IM) founder Riyaz Bhatkal and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, extraditing him to India is a daunting task,” an officer said. A native of Marakkarkandi in Kannur, Sabir left India for Dubai when agencies started a manhunt for the suspects having links with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) after four Keralites were killed in Kashmir in an encounter with security forces in 2008.He along with ThadiyantavidaNazeer were the main men for LeT in south India. While Nazeer was traced to a hideout in Bangladesh, Sabir fled to Dubai using a fake passport. “During an interrogation of a terror suspect in 2016, we got information that Sabir met some Keralities in Dubai. From there he moved to Pakistan,” an officer said.Sabir came on the agencies’ radar after he allegedly hatched a plot to murder former Chief Minister E K Nayanar in 1999.A lookout notice and Interpol red corner notice are pending against him.

The Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Usman Buzdar on May 25 appealed to clerics belonging to various schools of thought to provide all-out support to making the anti-polio campaign successful, reports Dawn. The clerics, who called on the CM at his office, announced their complete cooperation for the anti-polio campaign and resolved to work effectively to eliminate polio. The CM said the presence of polio in Pakistan was a matter of concern and that the whole world had become polio-free, but the disease still existed in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Stressing the role of clerics in the anti-polio campaign, he said they had always played an effective role in the protection of social and moral values. Now, he said, children needed the clerics to make the anti-polio campaign successful and eliminate the fatal disease. A detailed meeting with the clerics will be held after Eid al-Fitr [celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting], the chief minister added.

Indian intelligence agencies have spotted terrorist training activities in Narowal, the border District, and Sheikhupura District in Punjab province of Pakistan, reports The Times of India on November 4. As per the report, the intelligence alert has been received less than a week from the opening of the Kartarpur corridor for Indian pilgrims. The said corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak Sahib in Gurdaspur District of Punjab in India with the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara located in Narowal District of Punjab province in Pakistan. Sources in the intelligence agencies said terrorist training camps are situated at Muridke (Sheikhupura), Shakargarh (Narowal), and Narowal Districts of Punjab province in Pakistan where “substantial number of men and women are reportedly camping and undergoing training”. The said details emerged at a recently held joint meeting of all top security agencies of the country to discuss issues related to border management in Punjab. The biggest challenge, the agencies said, is the opening of the Kartarpur corridor as anti-India activities are likely to be carried out by hostile elements in Pakistan, especially “those likely to come into contact with pilgrims at the shrine”.
