Elections remained peaceful throughout the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on February 18 amid fears of suicide attacks, bomb blasts and violence from militants, Daily Times reported. NWFP Special Home Secretary Khalid Khan Umarzai said that the elections all over the province were held with a peaceful atmosphere, except for an incident in Karak district in which one person was killed and another wounded when supporters of the Awami National Party and an independent candidate clashed in the PF-40 constituency’s Ghara Khel polling station. However, minor violent incidents were reported from the province. Militants blew up Middle School Shakardara polling station in the Matta area of Swat district and set ablaze the election material. Gunship helicopters later shelled the Shakardara area but no casualties were reported. Militants also targeted a security forces convoy with remote-controlled bombs in the Shakar Dehri and Charbagh areas, while a bomb exploded in the Dheri area of PF-83 constituency. No casualty was reported in these incidents. Peshawar remained peaceful during the elections and no untoward incident was reported in any part of the city. In Charsadda, Dera Ismail Khan and Bannu, no violent incidents were reported. According to Dawn, women voters were barred from casting their votes in several parts of the NWFP. In some areas, polling was stopped over allegations of bogus voting, leading to scuffles among female supporters of a number of candidates. In the outskirts of Peshawar, some political parties had joined hands in barring women from casting their votes. Tribal elders and local leaders of ANP, PPP, PML-Q, PML-N and JUI-F struck an agreement on February 17-night to keep women out of the electoral process, some people of Shakkarpura area of Peshawar told Dawn. "The local leadership, after holding a jirga (council), decided that women will not cast their votes. They made the announcement on Sunday night from a local mosque," they said. Threatening pamphlets issued by militants and religious extremists were plastered on walls on the Kohat road close to Darra Adam Khel, warning women of suicide attacks if they came out to vote. Similar threats forced reportedly women to remain indoors in the Baddabher, Sarbund, Matanai, Sungo, Daibahadur, Achar, Ghari Ata Mohammad, Bahdur Kalay and Mathra areas. In Timergara, women were stopped from voting in the Lower Dir district, officials and witnesses said. The number of registered women voters in the district was 145,377. No woman turned up at any of the polling stations. The overall turnout was also low because of the boycott announced by Jamaat-i-Islami which has a large following in the district.

At least 171 vehicles of the US-led NATO forces, including 62 armoured personnel carriers, were torched by armed attackers in two parking bays on the Ring Road in the vicinity of Pishtakhara in Peshawar on December 7- morning, The News reported. Around 130 vehicles were completely destroyed in the attack, while 40 others were partially damaged. The attack is the biggest ever on NATO logistics in Pakistan, during which a watchman was killed while two others were injured when they offered resistance to over 300 attackers, who were armed with rocket launchers, hand grenades, petrol bombs and AK-47 rifles. A worker at the Port World Logistics on Ring Road near Pishtakhara said 106 vehicles were parked in their parking lot, including trucks, Humvees, cranes, fire brigade trucks and jeeps. Over 60 other vehicles were parked at the Al-Faisal Terminal, located across the Ring Road. A worker of the Port World Terminal said that over 300 armed men fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the main gate of the parking lot and after breaking in, opened indiscriminate fire on watchmen, killing one on the spot and injuring two others. He added that the attackers later fired rockets at the parked vehicles, hurled petrol bombs and sprinkled fuel on the trucks to set them ablaze. The firing of rocket launchers and automatic weapons that started at around 3:15 am (PST) continued for almost 45 minutes. The attack is second in the past week after the December 1 similar assault when two drivers were killed and 15 NATO trucks were set ablaze. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan had warned of attacking the NATO supplies through Pakistan if the American forces did not stop the missile strikes in FATA and parts of the NWFP. Since then, NATO trucks were attacked twice on the Ring Road, two kilometers away from the Peshawar Cantonment.

The number of attackers could not be ascertained, he said, and it was not clear how they entered the terminal and set ablaze the vehicles. Meanwhile, a Pentagon official said on December 8 the attacks would have a minimal impact on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan and no effect on combat operations. "The overall impact on our logistical efforts to resupply US forces, NATO forces… as well as Afghan forces has been small and had an overall insignificant impact to date… There’s been no direct bearing on our immediate combat capabilities," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman.
