Seeing the Police party, the bomber ran away and forced his entry into the house of Inayatullah Jan in BB Pakdaman Street and took his family members hostage. Later, the women and other members of the family, except one Safdar Hashmi, were allowed to go out of the house. Eyewitnesses said the only hostage, Safdar Hashmi, managed to escape from the house and the Police party headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Abdullah Khan fired tear-gas shells and bullets at the house. The bomber later blew himself up when he couldn’t escape. The house also suffered damage in the explosion. Later, Safdar Hashmi, while talking to the media, said the bomber was 15-year-old and hailed from Punjab. He said that four other suicide bombers had also entered Kohat District to carry out blasts, adding that the bomber revealed they had links with Al Qaeda.

Three persons were killed and 15 others sustained injuries in a powerful suicide blast close to the house of the slain Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman, Mobin Afridi, in the Momin Town area of Peshawar, the NWFP capital, on August 23, The News reported. The blast also destroyed four houses and damaged eight others in the street. “Three people, including two women, were killed and 15 others injured when the suicide bomber blew himself up in a street after he ran short of ammunition,” said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Qazi Jamilur Rehman. The bomb disposal squad estimated around eight kilograms of explosives were used in the attack. A large number of ball bearings and nails were also used in the blast to increase its intensity. The SSP said the attack was probably linked to the blast in Hayatabad in the evening of August 22, which killed Ansar-ul-Islam spokesman Mobin Afridi and his associate Haji Khan. The suicide bombers perhaps wanted to attack the house of Mubin, where people had gathered to offer condolence to his brother Sahibzada, who had rushed from Saudi Arabia to attend the funeral, and other members of the family on his death, sources said. The Ansar-ul-Islam cadres opened fire on the attacker, who returned the fire. “During an exchange of fire, the attacker got injured and ran short of rounds, after which he preferred to blow himself up instead of being caught,” said an unnamed Police official. Mobin Afridi was killed, along with his friend, when his car was blown up in Phase-IV, Hayatabad. In 2008, his brother and a former spokesman for the Ansar-ul-Islam, Maulana Mustamim, was also killed.

At least 16 Police recruits were killed and 11 others sustained injuries on August 30 after a suicide bomber detonated explosives strapped to his body at the Mingora Police Station, Daily Times reported. The volunteers for the new community Police force were conducting drills in the yard adjacent to the station when the attacker detonated his explosives, local Government administrator Atifur Rehman told The Associated Press. Authorities were investigating reports the attacker - possibly in uniform - might have hidden among the dozens of recruits, he said. “Initial investigations suggest the attacker climbed the small boundary wall and blew himself up, but there is also a report the suicide bomber was already inside,” he said. However, local Police chief Idrees Khan denied reports that the bomber was wearing a uniform and might have been one of the volunteers. Khan also blamed the attack on a decision to relax a daily curfew in the area for Ramzan.

Two suicide attackers separately rammed their explosives-laden vehicles into a Police station in Bannu and a military-owned commercial bank in Peshawar cantonment area of the NWFP on September 26, killing at least 23 people and injuring around another 200, officials said, according to Daily Times.

Around 94 people were injured in Peshawar and 64, including 31 Policemen, in Bannu. "It was a car suicide blast and according to our calculations 100 kilogram’s of explosives were used," Shafqat Malik, bomb disposal squad chief, told reporters at the incident site of the Peshawar attack. "The suicide bomber sitting inside the car hurled a grenade and then he detonated himself and the car," Malik said, describing the target as a branch of a bank run by an Army welfare trust. Eyewitnesses said Police arrested two suspicious persons from the site of Peshawar blast, which occurred some 300 metres away from the headquarters of the 11 Corps and the US Consulate in the high-security zone.

Two suicide bombers targeted the new campus of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) in the H-10 sector of Islamabad on October 20, killing at least six students and staff members, including two female students, and injuring more than 29 others, The News reported. Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad, Amer Ali Ahmad, said that the deceased were identified as Sidra Khalid (student), Hina (student), Pervaiz Masih (sanitary worker), Shaukat Bhatti (security guard), Amna (worker) and Khalil-ur-Rehman (student). This is the first terrorist attack on an educational institution in Islamabad. The first blast occurred at the cafeteria of the women’s campus at 3:07 pm while another took place at the Sharia bloc five minutes later, damaging the main structure of the building and dozens of cars parked near the blast site. The Inspector General of Police in Islamabad, Syed Kaleem Imam, said that a suspect, identified as ‘GM’, was arrested from the scene after the suicide attack at the cafeteria. He said the suspect belonged to Khanewal and had studied at the IIUI some seven years back. The IGP said he was arrested while capturing the scene on a movie camera. Kaleem Imam said according to the preliminary investigation, each bomber used 4 to 5 kilograms of explosive material and one and a half to two kg of pellets and ‘C-4’ kind of explosives were used in each suicide belt. He also said the suicide bombers apparently wanted to hit some other targets inside the federal capital, probably Security Forces, including the Police or maybe some diplomatic missions. “As they failed to penetrate the thick three-tier security cordon laid around the federal capital, they got frustrated and decided to target the IIUI, an institution where Islamic subjects are taught and where students from so many Muslim countries come to study,” the officer said. He conceded that security arrangements at the university were not adequate because it was generally believed that because of the Islamic status of this university the terrorists would not attack it.

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.
