According to Daily Times, four Pakistan Army personnel, including a Major and a Lieutenant, were killed on July 6 in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on a military convoy in the Dir district of North West Frontier Province (NWFP). "Four soldiers have been martyred in an IED explosion," said ISPR Director-General, Major General Waheed Arshad. He, however, denied that the attack was a reaction to the standoff with the Lal Masjid brigade in Islamabad. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. According to the locals, the outlawed Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) could be "behind the blast." Dir is a stronghold of the Jamaat-e-Islami and the outlawed TNSM. The attack is the second such in as many days and comes after cleric Fazlullah in Swat gave a call to his supporters for "jihad" on his illegal FM radio channel following the action against Lal Masjid.

President Pervez Musharraf escaped another assassination attempt on July 6-morning when around 36 rounds fired at his aircraft from a submachine gun in Rawalpindi missed their target, according to Daily Times.

The rounds were fired by a sub machinegun 10.62 installed on the roof of a two-storey house, Fazal Manzil, in Asghar Mall close to the Islamabad Airport and the Chaklala airbase. Security force personnel subsequently seized a submachine gun, two anti-aircraft guns with tripods and two satellite antennas and arrested the house owner, Muhammad Sharif.

18 soldiers and two civilians died and 35 others, including nine civilians, were injured in a bomb blast aimed at a vehicle carrying Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel in the Swat district of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on October 25, according to Daily Times. The blast occurred at Nawan Killi, about a kilometer from Swat city, at around 2:45 pm (PST). It set off an explosion of ammunition carried inside the military truck, triggering bullet fire. The blast also damaged 25 shops, a service station, a CNG station and a petrol pump. "I suspect this was the handiwork of a suicide bomber… Part of the truck has been blown up. There is no crater to suggest that it was a roadside bomb. It has been hit from the side," Frontier Constabulary Commandant Malik Mohammad Naveed, whose force suffered most casualties, told Dawn. NWFP Home Secretary Badshah Gul Wazir said: "Investigations are on. But it appears to be the work of a suicide bomber, whether he walked up to the truck or rammed a vehicle into it is yet to be determined." Deputy Inspector-General of Police Akhtar Ali Shah said the evidence suggested a suicide bombing. An AFP report quoted a Swat administration official Fazlur Rehman as saying that 30 people had died in the blast.

15 persons were killed and 80 others injured in the near-simultaneous blasts targeting lawyers in court premises in the three cities of Varanasi, Faizabad and Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. In Varanasi, three blasts killed 11 persons and injured 45 people. Four persons were killed and 14 injured in two explosions at Faizabad. In Lucknow, there was only one blast and no casualty was reported. Police sources said the banned Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami was behind the blasts, Hindustan Times. They suspected that the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants sought the help of HuJI as both have close ties with each other. The report added that on November 17, lawyers of the Sessions Court in Lucknow assaulted three JeM militants who had planned to abduct Congress party General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. Lawyers of the State had also refused to represent Wali Ullah, mastermind of the March 2006 blasts at the Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi as also Jalaluddin Molla, a key HuJI militant arrested in the State in June 2007. Ammonium Nitrate and timer devices were used in triggering the blasts in Lucknow and Varanasi, according to a PTI report. The Union Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal, who described the incidents as "pre-planned conspiracy", said the organisation behind the attack was yet to be identified.

The Governor of Goa, S. C. Jamir, survived an assassination attempt on November 24 when his convoy was attacked with improvised explosive device (IED) blasts in the Mokokchung district of Nagaland, according to Times of India. Two security force personnel were injured in the attack, which was the fourth attempt on the life of the former Nagaland Chief Minister. Officials said the attack occurred when Jamir's 30-vehicle convoy was passing near Changki around 6 am (IST). He was coming from his hometown, Mokokchung, and was heading towards the State's commercial hub of Dimapur, the officials added. Sources said four of the six IEDs planted by militants exploded seconds after Jamir's vehicle passed by. Police suspect the attack was the handiwork of NSCN-IM, which had earlier dubbed Jamir as "anti-people and anti-national". However, the Naga outfit denied its involvement and alleged that the attack was "stage-managed". "The life attempt was staged-managed to generate a sympathy wave for Jamir and Congress in Nagaland," an NSCN-IM statement said. In 1993, Jamir was injured in an attack at Nagaland House, New Delhi. Another abortive bid on his life was made in Kohima in 1995. Four years later, he escaped another ambush on the National Highway-39 near Kohima.

Two suspected suicide bombers were killed in Haroonabad in the Bahawalnagar district of Punjab province early on December 30 when the devices they were carrying exploded prematurely in an apparent botched attack on former religious affairs minister Ejazul Haq, according to Daily Times. “My guess is that they were there to target Haq who had visited the area a day earlier,” Bahawalnagar District Police Officer Zafar Abbas told Reuters. Haq was in the area to campaign for the next month’s general elections and had already left his house, which is 200 yards away from the blast site, by the time the explosion occurred, Zafar told NNI. He is contesting for a National Assembly seat from Haroonabad as a Pakistan Muslim League-Qauid candidate. The police found scattered body parts and the wreckage of a motorcycle at the scene of the blast, and suspect that the bombers either met an accident or fell from the bike detonating the explosives.
