Two women were killed on April 19-night as militants blew up a house in Kalaya, headquarters of the Orakzai Agency, to punish a girl and a boy in an honour-related case. The Taliban militants had reportedly planted explosives in the house of the alleged paramour of the girl where she was also living. The boy had fled the area leaving behind the girl with his parents after the Taliban got involved in the case. The girl, who belongs to the Bezote area, sustained minor injuries in the blast. Locals told Dawn on April 20 that a Sunni girl had fled with a Shia man from the Bezote area to Kalaya in the lower Orakzai Agency during March 2009. This had infuriated the Taliban who asked the tribesmen to hand over both the girl and the man for "execution under tribal customs". The tribesmen had refused after which the Taliban kidnapped a man of the Kalaya tribe and started killing passengers passing through the area.

Two bomb blasts killed at least 38 people, and injured more than 100 at the crowded Moon Market in Allama Iqbal area of Lahore in Punjab on December 7, according to Daily Times. The two bombs exploded 30 seconds apart at 8:45 PM (PST). The first blast occurred outside a plaza housing a branch of the Muslim Commercial Bank, while the other outside the Allama Iqbal Town Police Station, situated across the road. A suicide bomber had also targeted Moon Market in August 2008 in which nine people were killed. As the first bomb went off, the plaza where the bank is situated, and an adjacent building went up in flames, halting rescue work, Nazeer Ahmed, a security guard who was at the spot when the blasts occurred, said. Nazeer said the fire made it impossible to rescue anyone from the burning buildings. The Punjab Law Minister, Police officials and officials of the Bomb Disposal Squad, rescue officials and witnesses could not say if the blasts were suicide attacks or remote-controlled detonations. Punjab Inspector General Tariq Saleem Dogar said the bombs might have been detonated by remote control, while Superintendent of Police Ali Nasir Rizvi said he was not certain if a suicide bomber was involved. “We have recovered 33 dead bodies so far,” said Dr Rizwan Naseer, Director General of Rescue and put the toll for the injured at 95. However, Dawn reports 45 causalities in the twin blast.

At least 30 suspected militants were killed and three others sustained injuries in a missile strike on a refugee camp in the Kurram Agency on February 16. According to Daily Times, the three missiles believed to have been fired from a US unmanned aircraft destroyed a house used by a local Taliban commander. It was the first known drone strike in Kurram, AP reported. An unnamed intelligence official said field informants reported that Taliban showed up at the village bazaar and ordered 30 caskets. However, political authorities have only confirmed 18 deaths from four missiles fired by two unmanned aircraft, while the local Taliban have claimed a death toll of 12. “Afghan Taliban were holding an important meeting there when the missiles were fired,” an intelligence official in the area told Reuters. After the attack, the Taliban surrounded the area and were not allowing anyone near, witnesses said. “They have taken nine bodies to Afghanistan while the rest of them are being buried here,” one intelligence official said. According to local sources, former Afghan premier Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s Hizb-e-Islami was running the refugee camp. Kurram’s top administrator, Arshad Majeed Mohmand, confirmed the strike and said according to his information three missiles were fired, but he had no details about the casualties, Reuters added. Surkh Pul, the locality of the drone attack, was once reserved for Afghan refugees and a school was built for their children, The News reported. After the forced repatriation of the Afghan refugees from the area, the militants reportedly started arriving there and rebuild some of the damaged houses. Sources said the US planes targeted the school and the adjacent house, where around three dozen militants were residing. Taliban commanders said majority of the slain militants belonged to Afghanistan’s Khost province and they were secretly laid to rest at Ahmadi Shama graveyard near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Lower Kurram.

Five people were killed and 17 injured in a car bomb blast outside the Hujra (male guest house) of the union council chief in Bazidkhel village of Peshawar in the afternoon of February 17, The News reported. Faheemur Rahman, the union council chief of Bazidkhel, eight kilometres south of Peshawar on Kohat Road, alleged that the Mangal Bagh-led Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) was involved in this “cheap act” of terrorism. Eyewitnesses said the blast occurred in a car parked on a street near the Hujra of Rahman. The blast also destroyed two cars and damaged six buildings. “It could be linked to the killing of nine tribesmen in Bazidkhel. Nine members of the LI were killed by a Qaumi Lashkar (militia), comprising residents of Bazidkhel and the nearby villages, when they reportedly made a failed attempt to kidnap Rahman on February 4. Mangal Bagh had warned through his FM radio of revenge, directing the villagers to hoist black flags atop their houses or every villager would be considered equally involved in the murder of his men. The villagers of the nearby towns had constituted a Qaumi Lashkar after threats from the Bara-based militant group and other militant organisations.

32 persons were killed and 145 others injured when a suicide bomber exploded himself in the funeral procession of a slain employee of the Tehsil Municipal Administration near the busy Shubra Square in Dera Ismail Khan on February 20, The News reported. Sources said the funeral procession of local Shia community leader Sher Zaman alias Shera, who was killed in firing by unidentified persons on February 19, was heading towards Kotly Imam Hussain for his Namaz-e-Janaza (funeral prayer) and burial when a suicide bomber ran into the mourners and blew himself up. While there was no immediate claim for the blast, Police and witnesses blamed sectarian extremists. “We cannot immediately say who could be behind the bombing but it appeared to be linked with the ongoing sectarian attacks,” said Saadullah Khan, the local police station chief. “The head and a foot of the suicide bomber has been found at the scene. The bomber appeared to be 20 years old with a beard,” he added. The suicide bombing consequently led to rioting and firing in the air by some angry funeral participants. They reportedly targeted an approaching Police patrol vehicle, prompting the authorities to impose an indefinite curfew in the city. In the Sikligara area, a Police mobile van was also fired at. However, the Policemen in the vehicle escaped unhurt, sources said. Riots broke out in the city following the blast, and Police confirmed that two people were killed in the firing that followed the suicide bombing, according to Daily Times. Separately, Police said they had arrested three of the four people suspected of killing Sher Zaman.

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.

Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar claimed responsibility for the attack. “It was our man who martyred himself in Jamrud… We warned the government to stop military operations in Khyber, Swat and other tribal areas, otherwise we will completely shut down the NATO supply line… We have shown that we can do that,” Omar told AFP. Earlier, in the night of February 5, another suicide bomber had rammed a car bomb into a police station in Mingora in the Swat District of NWFP, injuring 11 soldiers.
