According to The News, the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) personnel claimed on January 15 that two alleged teenage suicide bombers were killed while a third committed suicide by swallowing poisonous capsules in the Mohmand Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). An unnamed official stated that the three alleged young suicide bombers were on their way to Ghalanai, Mohmand Agency’s regional headquarters, in a Land Cruiser from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas. He said the FC soldiers deployed at the Khapakh Post on the Pakistan-Afghanistan highway - about six kilometers west of Ghalanai - stopped the vehicle and asked the three boys to disembark for a body search. According to him, one of the boys alighted and another remained inside while the third attempted to escape. The official said the soldiers immediately opened fire and shot him dead. He was identified as Nadir Khan, a resident of Swabi district in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP). However, the alleged suicide bomber before his death exploded the vehicle through a remote control device, killing another 13-year old boy, who was inside the vehicle. The soldiers reportedly took the third suicide bomber into custody and brought him to Ghalanai. However, the boy, suspected to be from Waziristan, swallowed poisonous capsules and subsequently died.

A suicide bomber on February 16 rammed his explosives-laden car into the election office of an independent candidate in Parachinar city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), killing at least 38 persons, including six children, and injuring 109 others, reports Daily Times. The Interior Ministry has confirmed the death of 27 people.” It was a suicide attack, there were people outside the candidate’s house and they were waiting for food when this man attacked,” Caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz told AFP. “It is a very unfortunate incident. Maximum security measures are in place for February 17 and 18 and the campaign is going to end tonight,” he added. According to eyewitness, the bomber hit the election office of independent candidate for NA-37 Kurram Agency, Syed Riaz Hussain Shah, where a large number of people had gathered. “A man with long hair drove a car into the crowd and blew himself up. There were bodies and blood everywhere,” witness Laiq Hussain told AFP. The blast came on the final day of campaigning for National Assembly (NA) polls scheduled to be held on February 18, and was the bloodiest in a series of attacks since Benazir Bhutto’s murder in December.
