According to Dawn, the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of the Sindh Police claimed on October 20 to have arrested three members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in the third such action in a week. “All the three arrested suspects — Mohammad Sahab alias Qasai, Rojhan Khan and Ali Mohammad — belong to the commander Farooq group of the TTP,” said a statement issued by the CID. It also said, “The suspects have been arrested from different parts of the city and the CID has seized a suicide jacket which was ready to be used, three pistols and 27 rounds from their possession.” The latest operation came a day after the Karachi Police chief announced the arrest of the chief of the Karachi branch of the TTP and his three accomplices on October 19. Earlier on October 13, the CID claimed to have arrested a TTP activist from Korangi. The CID statement said the three suspects arrested on October 20 were involved in several crimes in the city, apparently to generate funds for their terrorist activities. “Apart from attacking security forces in Swat and destroying schools in the valley, the suspects are also wanted in several cases of kidnapping for ransom,” the statement quoted Fayyaz Khan, the Superintendent of Police (Operations) of the CID, as saying.

The arrested suspects, aged between 25 and 26 years, were identified as Nasir alias Saifullah, Shakeel Barmi, Atif alias Chooha, Wasim alias Baroodi and Afzal alias Rickshaw Wala.

Daily Times quoting a Senior Police Official on December 23 reported that several militants of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), who were hiding and fighting in the tribal areas of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), have reached Karachi to carry out terrorist activities during Muharramul Haram. A senior police official, on condition of anonymity, told Daily Times that militants affiliated with LeJ, who were fighting against Security Forces in Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu and Waziristan, have come to Karachi to evoke sectarian violence in the city. “They plan to carry out suicide bombings and target killings,” the officer said. “These militants want to show their strength to the law enforcers and intelligence agencies, and they also want to take revenge of the killings of their leaders and workers in the last couple of months in the city.” A source said as many as 13 high-profile militants of LeJ had been killed in different acts of violence, which resulted in them taking revenge. It is believed that the prime target of the militants would be the main processions and Majalis-e-Azza held in various parts of the city during the first ten days of Muharram, the source added.

The year 2009 proved to be another bloody year of the decade for media in Pakistan in which 10 journalists, in 163 cases of direct attacks on media, paid the ultimate price of practicing a difficult trade in the backdrop of rising terrorism and militancy and were killed in the line of duty, according to Dawn. Of these 10 journalists, four were killed in Punjab, three in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and one each in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Balochistan and Islamabad, according to the annual research on the state of media in Pakistan, released on December 30 by Intermedia, a Pakistani media development organisation that focuses on media research, advocacy and training. The total 163 cases included murders, assaults, abductions, explicit threats, censorship cases and attacks on media properties and establishments. Punjab bore the brunt of these attacks with 54 cases and the NWFP a close behind with 52, while Islamabad was the surprise third biggest victim of attacks on media with 28 cases. Sindh recorded 12 attacks, six attacks each were recorded in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and FATA, and three in Balochistan. Ten journalists were kidnapped in 2009, four in NWFP, two in Islamabad and one each in Balochistan, FATA, Punjab and Sindh. The report also documented at least 24 cases of assaults on working journalists across the country, in which 70 journalists were injured — 36 in Punjab, 12 in Islamabad, 10 in the NWFP, seven in Sindh and five in PoK. At least 28 journalists received threats in person or over the phone. Of these, nine journalists were in Islamabad, eight in the NWFP, seven in Sindh, and one in FATA. The Intermedia report also documented at least 35 cases of official gag orders, censorship or restrictions on publication or broadcast in 2009. Of these, the highest number of cases, 23, was in the NWFP, four in Punjab, three in Islamabad and one each in Sindh, Balochistan, FATA and PoK. Ten cases of physical and armed attacks were reported on media property and establishments, exemplified by the suicide attack on the Peshawar Press Club on December 22, 2009. Of these attacks, four were in the NWFP, two each in Fata and Punjab and one each in Islamabad and PoK. “At least 45 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the last five years, several by suspected militants, but this is the first time that suicide squads of terrorists have targeted media persons as a specific, overt target, indicating a dramatic increase in the level of threats facing the media in the country,” Adnan Rehmat, executive director of Intermedia, said.
