At least 32 persons were killed and 48 others wounded when a suspected suicide bomber blew himself amidst a crowd of Shia worshippers outside a mosque in Dera Ghazi Khan in the Punjab province on February 5, Daily Times reported. Police said the blast targeted dozens of people converging on the Al Hussainia Mosque after dark, shortly before a religious gathering. Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, Police blamed sectarian extremists for the incident. “Ninety-nine percent it looks like a suicide attack… The explosion occurred just 50 feet short of the mosque. It is a terrorist attack aimed at Shias to create unrest,” Shaukat Javed, the Inspector General of Punjab Police, told AFP. “It seems like a suicide blast… If something is planted or hurled, it leaves a crater. There is no crater at the site of the incident,” Javed told a TV channel. “According to eyewitnesses, nothing was thrown from outside… It looks as if someone was standing at the site of the blast and waiting for the procession and he blew himself up as the procession came close to him,” District official Jawed Mehmood Bhatti told Reuters.

At least 14 people were killed and 17 injured on March 16 when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a busy bus stand at Pirwadhai in Rawalpindi, Daily Times reported. Sources quoting investigators said the original target of the bomber could have been the participants of the ‘long march’, of the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif which was scheduled to pass through the area. Regional Police Officer Nasir Durrani, however, told the media that it would be premature to decide whether the bomber’s original target was the ‘long march’. "The suicide bomber blew himself up on a motorbike outside a restaurant, which was set up close to the cab stand," said Durrani.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of an Imambargah (Shia place of worship) at Chakwal in Punjab province on April 5, killing 24 people, including three children, and injuring 140 others, at a religious gathering, The News reported. The target was the gathering of about 800 people, who were attending a Majlis-e-Aza (a gathering to mourn Imam Hussain) at an Imambargah in Muhallah Sarpak. The Majlis ended at 12:15 pm and the people were preparing to leave the Imambargah when a 15-year old boy, who looked to be an Afghan, stormed into the crowd and blew himself up after private security guards tried to stop him. The Inspector General of Police Shaukat Javed confirmed that the suicide attacker was a single person and said the incident was the continuity of the recent wave of terrorist attacks. He also said the suicide bomber appeared to be a 15-year-old boy whose legs and head, with damage to the face, had been found at the blast site, Daily Times reported.

Suicide bombers detonated a vehicle loaded with 100 kilograms of explosives near offices of the capital city police officer (CCPO) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Lahore on May 27 – killing at least 27 persons and injuring 326 others, in addition to destroying a two-storey building of the Rescue 15 police service, according to Police, Daily Times reported. An ISI colonel and 15 Police officials were among those killed, The News reported. Witnesses said the attack started midmorning when two gunmen stepped out of a white van – which had pulled up in a narrow street separating the police and ISI buildings – cautioned civilians to take cover, and started firing at Security Force (SF) personnel deployed down the street. The gunmen also hurled a grenade at the SFs personnel. As the firing continued, the driver managed to cross the concrete barrier, but could not get further and was forced to blow up the vehicle there. Superintendent of Police Sohail Sukhera said a threefold security cordon prevented the attackers from getting to the offices CCPO and ISI offices. He said the terrorist in the vehicle was shot – which prompted him to blow up the vehicle about a hundred feet away from the intended target, in front of the Rescue 15 building.

At least seven persons, including a prominent anti-Taliban cleric, were killed and seven injured when a suicide attacker detonated himself at the Jamia Naeemia madrassa (seminary) in the Garhi Shahu area of Lahore shortly after Friday prayers on June 12. Daily Times reported that targeting Sarfaraz Naeemi, the head of Jamia Naeemia, the terrorist reportedly waited until the anti-Taliban cleric had reached his office before launching his attack. Six people were with Naeemi in his office at the time. A seminary student, Muhammad Faisal, said the bomber had pretended to be a student. Following the blast, hundreds of outraged students gathered at the scene and demanded the Taliban leave Pakistan. Naeemi’s brother Muhammad Tajwar told AP the cleric had recently received death threats for condemning the Taliban, but had refused the offer of Police protection. Inspector General of Police, Tariq Saleem Dogar, said since Naeemi had never asked for security, the attack was not a security lapse. District Officer (Civil Defence) Mazhar Hussain said the attacker had used a 20-kilogramme suicide vest containing ball bearings and iron filings. Police said the bomber was aged between 16 and 17, clean-shaven and had a fair complexion. Police also claimed to have later arrested two suspected terrorists. According to The News, Naeemi was one of those moderate clerics who believed in maintaining sectarian unity to counter terrorism, and was among those clerics who had issued the edict declaring suicide attacks against the Muslims and civilians as Haram (forbidden).

He said the TTP would soon release the video of the PC attack. He also said the suicide attacks on the Lahore seminary and Nowshera mosque were to avenge the June 11 bombing in Hangu and military operations in Swat, Bannu and South Waziristan.

36 persons were injured when a young suicide bomber rammed his motorcycle into a bus carrying employees of the Army-run Heavy Mechanical Complex at the Peshawar Road near Chur Chowk in Rawalpindi on July 2 at around 4.15 pm, The News reported. The suicide bomber was the only reported fatality. Initially, the death toll had been given as six but it was revised to one killed (the bomber himself) by the security agencies. The Additional Inspector General of Police, Nasir Khan Durrani, confirmed that it was a suicide attack, saying that body parts of the suicide bomber and other evidence had been collected. Eight vehicles, standing around the targeted bus, were completely destroyed while the windowpanes of buildings and shops in a radius of over half-a-kilometer were damaged. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. Nasir Khan Durrani said the terrorists failed to hit the installations of sensitive agencies due to effective security measures and now they had chosen to hit moving targets. Durrani also said the bombers have adopted a new strategy for suicide attacks and now they had started using motorcycles for attacks. "Obviously, the attack is a reaction to the military offensive in the tribal regions and other parts of the NWFP," he said.

At least 19 persons, including 14 Security Force (SF) personnel, were killed and 41 others sustained injuries in three separate terrorist attacks in Lahore, capital of Punjab province, on October 15, The News reported. All nine attackers were also shot dead by the SFs, officials said. The attacks were carried out at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) building on the Temple Road, the Manawan Police Training Centre and the Elite Police Academy on the Bedian Road. The District Emergency Control Room reportedly received the first call of a terrorist attack at 9:40am (PST) on the FIA building. After 15-16 minutes, the control room received other calls of attacks on the Manawan Police Training Centre and the Elite Police Training Academy at 9:55am and 9:56am, respectively. In the first attack, a terrorist wearing an explosive vest attacked the FIA offices. The assailant reportedly opened indiscriminate fire at the people, killing six persons, including two FIA inspectors, on the spot. Police cordoned off the building and subsequently killed the terrorist. Police recovered a hand-grenade, seven chambers, some dry fruit and an explosive vest from the possession of the terrorist. The Police also arrested a suspected youth, aged around 20, from near the FIA building. However, Daily Times reported that at least three terrorists attacked the FIA building, killing seven people. A witness said the attackers shot dead two SF personnel, and entered the premises. FIA personnel inside the compound killed one of the terrorists, while FIA sources said one of the attackers was arrested. AFP reported that one of the gunmen escaped. In the second attack, four terrorists stormed the Elite Force Training Centre and an encounter continued till afternoon until the SFs killed the two attackers and freed a family they were holding hostage. Two other attackers blew themselves up, Police said. The General Officer Commanding (GOC) Lahore, Major General Shafaqat Ahmed, told journalists that the Pakistan Army and Police carried out a successful operation and the training centre had been cleared of terrorists. The SFs killed two out of four terrorists — one at the main gate the other on the rooftop of a building. The other two terrorists blew themselves up. An Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, Ghulam Jaffar, and a civilian, Adil, were killed and seven Policemen were wounded in the attack. The attackers of the Manawan Police Training School, wearing Police-like camouflage fatigues, lobbed a grenade and opened indiscriminate fire at the trainees, killing 11 Policemen and a civilian and injuring 34 Policemen. However, Daily Times reported that nine Policemen died and 60 were injured when four attackers wearing suicide jackets attacked the compound. Three of the men blew themselves up, while one was subsequently killed by the Police. This is the second terrorist on the Manawan Police Training School. On March 30, 2009, eight police recruits and a civilian were killed when a group of 10 terrorists attacked the training facility.

At least 35 persons, including two women and children, were killed and 63 others sustained injuries when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a branch of the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) in Rawalpindi on November 2, Daily Times reported. The majority of the blasts victims were reportedly military personnel and employees of the Defence Ministry who had queued up at the NBP Shalimar Plaza Branch to draw their salaries. It was the second terrorist attack in the Red Zone area of the garrison city within a month. According to eyewitnesses, many of the victims were retired military personnel who had gathered at the bank to draw their pensions. Several surrounding offices, part of a nearby hotel and a number of vehicles were also destroyed. Eyewitnesses said the attack occurred at 10:40am when a man riding a motorbike approached the parking lot of the plaza and blew himself up in front of the NBP branch, in close proximity with the Pearl Continental hotel, the military’s General Headquarters and the State Bank of Pakistan. Rawalpindi Regional Police Officer (RPO) Aslam Tareen confirmed the eyewitnesses’ account. "We found parts of a suicide vest and some body parts of the suicide attacker.

40 persons, including 17 children besides serving and retired Army officers and personnel, were killed and over 86 others injured, when a Friday congregation at the Parade Lanes mosque in Rawalpindi was attacked by a group of terrorists, The News reported. The high number of casualties was caused by hurling of grenades and indiscriminate targeted firing by the terrorists, reportedly numbering between six to eight. According to latest reports, two of the terrorists blew themselves up while two others were shot dead in an exchange of fire with the Security Forces (SFs). Exhaustive combing of the densely-populated locality was also being carried out by the SFs to flush out the other terrorists, who reportedly managed to escape from the spot and took refuge in the vicinity. The mosque is predominantly frequented by serving and retired Army officers, soldiers and members of their families and is not open to civilians living in the area. A serving Major General, a Brigadier, one Colonel and two Lt-Colonels were among the officers killed in the attack. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that 36 people, including 17 children, 10 civilians and nine Army personnel were killed in the attack. The ISPR said four terrorists approached the mosque inside an officers’ residential colony in the Parade Lane and lobbed grenades at worshipers, followed by indiscriminate firing. Meanwhile, two suicide bombers entered the mosque and blew themselves up, killing 36 people, who were offering the Friday prayers. SF personnel in the area retaliated and two other terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire. The terrorists reportedly scaled the mosque wall to enter the premises and carried out a double suicide attack, and when the people rushed out, their other accomplices hurled hand grenades at them and sprayed bullets with automatic weapons, killing 40 people on the spot and injuring over 86.

A group of three Taliban militants launched a gun, rocket and suicide attack on the office of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), killing at least 12 people and injuring several others at Multan in Punjab on December 8, according to Daily Times. The blast in Multan destroyed the facades off several buildings in a part of the city largely reserved for Government and Security Agencies. The apparent target of the blast was a building housing an office of the ISI which was also damaged. Senior Police Officer Agha Yusuf said at least three Taliban militants in a car carried out the attack. He said one of them first fired a rocket and an automatic weapon at a police checkpoint, and then drove to the intelligence agency – where they blew it up. He said Security personnel were also among the 12 killed. “It was a suicide attack. There were two attackers who were stopped at the checkpost, but they tried to flee and Security personnel fired at them,” another Police Official, Arif Ikram told reporters. “The attackers returned fire and also launched two rockets, and later exploded their vehicle.” Multan’s top administrative official, Syed Mohammad Ali Gardezi, said that one military building was badly damaged in the blast. “They did not succeed in hitting the target,” he claimed.

A suicide car bomb exploded in a market outside the home of the Punjab Chief Minister’s senior adviser, Zulfiqar Khosa in Dera Ghazi Khan District of Punjab, killing 33 people and injured 60 others on December 15, according to Daily Times. Unidentified militants detonated the explosives outside the house of Khosa, who was not in home at the time of explosion. An eyewitness, Naeem, said a white-coloured car reached the gate of Khosa’s house and exploded, APP reported. Most of the dead and injured were persons shopping or working at the market. It was unclear whether the bomber meant to target the politician’s home or the market. The attack badly damaged the house and several nearby shops and buildings, including a mosque and bank. “The whole market has collapsed,” said Raza Khan, a local resident. “There is smoke and people running here and there.” The attacker had packed the car with about 900 pounds (400 kilogrammes) of explosives, Senior Police Officer Muhammad Rizwan said. Zulfiqar Khosa’s son, Dost Muhammad Khosa, said two of his cousins were among the wounded. “It was a direct attack on us,” Dost alleged, declining to speculate who was behind the blast. Meanwhile, Sardar Zulfiqar Khosa said that his residence was targeted in the suicide attack but he is not sure whether he was the target of the bomber or not. “All of my family members are safe and are in Lahore,” he told a private television channel after a suicide bomber exploded an explosives-laden car outside his residence. Khosa condemned the explosion.
