19 people were killed and 157 others were injured in countrywide election-related violence on February 18, caretaker Interior Minister Lt-Gen (retd) Hamid Nawaz told Dawn. However, according to independent reports, the number of casualties may be higher. The minister said that nine died in Punjab, seven in Sindh and three in NWFP. He did not give any casualty figures for Balochistan, where four people were reported to have been killed. According to independent reports, the overall death toll in the country was 26. "Despite 19 deaths, the government considers the election quite peaceful with no incident of terrorism in any part of the country… We are happy that neither any incident of terrorism nor any obstacle in the election process was reported in the country," the caretaker minister said. Private TV channels reported that clashes between supporters of different political parties occurred in Khairpur, Gujranwala, Chakwal, Kamoki, Mirpur, Jacobabad, Muzzafargarh, Mandi Bahauddin, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sargodha, Charsadda, Sukkur, Gujar Khan, Shikarpur, Hangu, Gakharmandi, Sialkot, Samandri, Sanghar and Peshawar. Polling is reported to have begun at a slow pace as voters appeared to be wary of violence. However, as the day progressed, the voter turnout improved and according to unconfirmed reports, it is estimated to be 35 percent. Ambassadors of UK, US, Japan, China, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Asian Association of Regional Corporation (SAARC) and European Union Countries visited different polling stations in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad and expressed their satisfaction over polling process, security arrangements and performance of elections staff. The government has deployed 81,000 troops and nearly 400,000 police personnel to provide security to the more than 64,000 polling stations, a third of which had been declared sensitive. The Chief Election Commissioner Justice (r) Qazi Muhammad Farooq said on February 18-night that the Election Commission had fulfilled its responsibility to hold free, fair and transparent elections, Associated Press of Pakistan reported. "We have not received any complaints so far, but if we receive any, action would be taken," he said.

The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly followed closely by the Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) in the elections held on February 18, according to The Hindu. The PPP led with 87 seats out of 272, followed by 66 for the PML-N, and 38 for the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q). Among the smaller parties, (ANP) the Muttahida Qaumi Movement won 19 seats and the Pakhtun nationalist Awami National Party got 10 seats. The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, a religious coalition which won 59 seats in 2002, was able to win only three this time. Other political parties - the PPP-Sherpao, the Balochistan National Party, the National People’s Party and the PML-F - got one, one, two, and four seats, respectively, according to Daily Times. Independent candidates won 27 seats. In the Punjab province, the PML-N won 101 seats out of 280, while the PPP and independent candidates got 78 and 35 seats, respectively. The PML-Q got 66 seats. In Sindh, the PPP won 65 seats out of 125, while the MQM and the PML-Q got 38 and nine seats, respectively. The PML-N failed to win a single seat while one independent candidate was successful. In Balochistan, the PML-Q won 17 seats out of 44, while the PPP won seven seats. Independent candidates won ten seats. In the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), the ANP won 31 seats out of 85, while the PML-Q and the PML-N have won six and five seats, respectively. The PPP won 17 seats in the NWFP. In the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), six constituencies out of a total of 12 have been officially announced. Elections in two of the constituencies were postponed. As all the candidates in the region contested the elections as independent candidates, no political parties won any inroads in the region. At a press conference following a central executive committee meeting of the PPP, co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari staked the party’s claim to form the government at the Centre with the help of allies. The party is reportedly in a position to form the Sindh provincial government by itself. "We intend to make government in all four provinces and at the Centre, so we will act as the government-in-waiting with our allies… Our endeavour and our policy is to form a national consensus government that will take along all political forces," Zardari said.

Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier (r) Javed Cheema told reporters, "Security agencies have arrested 442 terrorists and militants during the past three months.

At least 50 persons, including seven children, were injured in a series of seven low-intensity explosions in two busy neighbouring areas of Karachi on July 7, Daily Times reported. The blasts occurred within 90 minutes of each other, striking residential and commercial areas. No deaths have been reported so far. Two of the blasts occurred in Banaras, injuring 16 people. The third explosion, which injured five people, ripped through a mini-truck in North Nazimabad. The fourth bomb was affixed to a motorcycle in the Qasba Colony. A fifth explosion occurred near a children’s school in Hyderi. A policeman was injured in the sixth blast in Manghopir. The seventh blast occurred in Pak Colony, injuring seven people. The Sindh Police Inspector General, Sallahuddin Babar Khattak, said the blasts were fairly mild. He told AFP "apparently the purpose was to create panic in the city. There is also a possibility that the people who planted the bombs wanted to fan ethnic tensions in the city." He also said that 150-200 grams of explosives were used in each blast. Khattak noted that the areas struck have a predominantly large Pakhtoon population and the headquarters of the Government’s coalition partner Awami National Party is located at Banaras Chowk. Rehman Malik, the prime minister’s adviser, was quoted by APP as saying that the blasts appeared to have been pre-planned and aimed at destabilising the city.

The Sindh government has imposed a ban on circulation of the newspaper Weekly Zarbe Momin Karachi and Daily Islam, an official handout said on November 14. According to the handout the government has ordered that all copies in circulation should be forfeited. “The weekly Zarbe Momin Karachi and Daily Islam contain material that can be a source of inspiration for Jihadi outfits and youth, which is prejudicial to the national integration and will promote anti-state feelings, and they are liable to forfeiture for containing objectionable material under section 99-A CrPC 1898”, the official handout said. The staff of the newspapers, however, continued their work till late night on November 14.

According to him, “the name of Al Qaeda is being used to attack the Taliban ... the operation in the Tribal Areas is meant to target the Taliban.”

The federal Government has launched a crackdown against Al-Amin Trust (AAT), sealing 24 offices and freezing its bank accounts across the country, sources told Daily Times. According to a notification issued on December 14 to all the provinces, the federal Interior Ministry ordered the sealing of all AAT offices as well as seizing its accounts and licensed weapons. However, no arrests were made nor any weapons recovered. Senior Superintendent of Police Sohail Zafar Chatta confirmed sealing the AAT head office in Karachi. The AAT has three other offices in Karachi and 20 in 15 other cities. “All of our offices have been sealed and bank accounts seized,” AAT spokesman Muhammad Abdullah told Daily Times. “As for the recovery of weapons, we do not have any arms,” he added. Abdullah said the AAT ambulance service had also been stopped. He claimed the organisation was engaged in welfare and relief activities. He also said: “We are still trying to figure out why the government has taken this step… We will appeal in the court to challenge the imposition of the ban because we were never involved in any immoral activity and our relief and other activities in Pakistan are being affected following this step.”
