Seven persons, including six women, working for a non-governmental organisation (NGO), were shot dead at Sher Afzal Kalley area in Swabi District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on January 1, reports Daily Times. An employee for Support with Working Solutions (SWWS) organisation, working on health and education, told Daily Times that the van was on its way from a centre of the NGO when the gunmen ambushed it at Sher Afzal Kalley. The driver of the vehicle carrying the local NGO staff was wounded critically, District Police Officer Abdur Rashid said. “The gunmen were waiting for the NGO staff by the roadside and ambushed their van when it reached there,” said the Police Officer who, however, did not say what the motive of the killing was. Five of the women were teachers, the sixth was a health worker and the man worked as a health technician, officials said. “Four men came on two motorbikes. They attacked their van, a Toyota HiAce.

Taliban leader Maulvi Nazir was among 10 Taliban militants killed in a US-operated drone strike in the South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on January 3, reports Daily Times. The drone targeted the Taliban leader’s moving convoy. “Maulvi Nazir was on his way to Wana from Birmal when the convoy was hit in Sarkundi area (in Birmal tehsil), killing him and nine others,” officials sources said. Maulvi Nazir is the second top Taliban leader to be killed in a drone strike after Baitullah Mehsud, who was chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) when he was killed in 2009. Maulvi Nazir had ‘earned fame’ in spring 2007 when he led a successful uprising against foreign militants in Ahmedzai Wazir-held areas, ousting Uzbek militants along with their local supporters. He linked administration of polio vaccination to cessation of drone strikes and no polio drive could be launched in Ahmedzai Wazir areas since the ban in June 2012. Security agencies warned the Government of likely backlash from the supporters of Maulvi Nazir. “There may be backlash from a Taliban group and the federal government should direct all provincial capitals to increase vigilance against any threat,” security officials spoke on condition of anonymity. The Pentagon (US) welcomed reports that Maluvi Nazir was killed in a drone strike, saying his death would represent a “major development.” Pentagon spokesman George Little did not confirm the reports of the killing, but said, “If the reports are true, then this would be a significant blow, and would be very helpful not just to the United States but also to our Pakistani partners.” Dawn, however, reported that Nazir was killed along with his five guards when a missile hit his vehicle while he was going to Wana from Birmal on January 2. Maulvi Nazir’s key aide Rata Khan was among the other militants killed when the vehicle was attacked near Angoor Adda on the Afghan border, the official said. Nazir had survived a suicide bombing in November 29, 2012. The TTP, the umbrella organisation of Pakistani militant groups, denied its involvement, but Nazir, under pressure from the government, ordered the expulsion of Mehsud tribesmen from Wana. The TTP leadership comes from the Mehsud tribe. He had entered into a peace agreement with the government after his group expelled militants of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, led then by Tahir Uldashev, in 2007 from the area. Nazir’s fighters avoided attacking government and Security Forces’ installations in the tribal region and cooperated with the local administration, an official said. The military is believed to have struck a non-aggression pact with Nazir ahead of its 2009 operation against militants in South Waziristan. Nazir was understood to be close to the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network. Nazir had property in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. He earlier used to be a member of the Hizb-i-Islami, an Afghan militant group. Nazir’s group quickly appointed his close aide Bawal Khan as a replacement, according to one of his aides. But a Reuters report named the successor as Salahuddin Ayubi.

Twenty militants were killed and 12 others sustained injuries in air strikes carried out by Army warplanes in the Kukikhel area of Tirah Valley in Khyber Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on January 4, reports The News. The sources said that fighter jet bombed the sanctuaries of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Dwatoy and Bragat areas, killing 20 militants and causing injuries to 12 others. The official sources said that ‘commander’ Abdul Wali alias Umar Khalid, designated head of TTP for Tirah valley, was also present in Dwatoy at the time of the attack. Some reports suggested that he was among the dead. However, it couldn’t be verified from independent sources or the TTP due to lack of communication facilities in the Tirah Valley. The Kukikhel part of the Tirah valley fell to the TTP a few months back after the militant group defeated the Kukikhel Afridi tribal lashkar (tribal militia). The sources said that the ‘commander’ Tariq Afridi-led faction of TTP having bases in the valley had claimed responsibility for the assassination of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Senior Minister Bashir Bilour in Peshawar and also for the killing of 22 kidnapped members of the Levies force in Frontier Region Peshawar. Sources said that TTP cadres had celebrated the death of Bashir Bilour by resorting to festive firing for two hours in Dwatoy and surrounding areas. The fresh airstrikes conducted by the Security Forces (SFs) might be a reaction to the assassination of Bashir Bilour and the deaths of 22 Levies personnel.

Seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were killed and 12 critically injured in an encounter with the Communist Party of India-(Maoist) cadres at Karmatiya forests of Latehar District of Jharkhand on January 7, reports The Times of India. Two Maoists were also killed, the Police said quoting villagers. Hundreds of Maoists ambushed 200-odd troopers patrolling the forest around 10.30am, in what is being seen as a possible retaliation to ‘Operation Anaconda-II’ in Saranda forests. In the gun-battle, which went on for more than eight hours, several Police personnel were critically injured, two of whom belong to Jharkhand Jaguar. The encounter ended around 8 pm. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Palamu range, Praveen Singh confirmed the deaths. Six companies of CRPF and two of Jharkhand Jaguar were combing the Karmatiya jungles when the ambush took place. According to Jharkhand Police figures, a total of 24 persons were killed in Latehar in 2011 by the Maoists. The Indian Express, however, reported that one Jharkhand Jaguar Special Task Force Policeman was shot dead by Maoists and three CRPF troopers were missing. The Maoist group involved in the encounter is believed to have been headed by Arvind, an important leader thought to be holed up in the area for the past 25 days. The CRPF had been camping there since December 20, 2012, to try and capture him. The encounter, named ‘Operation Saamna’, involved about 220 CRPF and some Jharkhand Police personnel. Officials claimed at least four Maoists were killed, but no bodies have been recovered.

Acceding to The Times of India, a woman was leading the attack on Security Force (SF) personnel at Karmatiya forest in Latehar Distinct of Jharkhand that killed 11 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers on January 7. Two Maoists were also killed in return fire on January 7 and 16 SF personnel were injured. The Maoists on January 8 killed two civilians taking the death toll to 15. Combing operation was intensified following the second attack. The two civilians were killed and one critically injured when bombs exploded on Tuesday afternoon during search for more bodies inside the forest, said Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP) Kranti Kumar Garhdeshi. The Maoists had planted the bombs inside the dead bodies, which were ripped to pieces the moment the search team tried to recover them. The Latehar SP said the civilians were killed while they were accompanying Police personnel. Around 300 CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar personnel treaded deep into the Karmatiya jungles, about 250km from Ranchi as part of a combing operation when Maoists started indiscriminate firing from tree tops and hills. Over 600 Maoists, led by senior leaders, were present in the Latehar jungles and around 30 of them have been injured. CPI-Maoist central committee member Arvind was the leader behind the attacks, said Police sources. Many of the Maoists were dressed like SF personnel.

The Sarai Naurang town is a business hub of Lakki Marwat district, about 160kms south of Peshawar.

Fifteen people were killed and 119 were injured, five of them critically in the twin blasts which happened in quick succession a little after 7 pm, about 100 metres apart in the Dilsukhnagar (Hyderabad Urban District) on February 21, reports NDTV.com. Hyderabad Police sources said that the second bomb had been placed at exactly the same spot that an unexploded bomb was found during the Hyderabad twin blasts of August 25, 2007. The Times of India adds that, Union Minister of Home Affairs, Sushil Kumar Shinde seemed to reflect the principal assumption of the agencies about Indian Mujahideen (IM) being the chief suspects when he said the latest attack was similar to the 2007 serial attacks in the city. The suspicion is derived also from the testimony of the three alleged IM terrorists to Delhi Police in October 2012. Imran, Tabrez and Maqbool told the special cell that they had been assigned to do a recce of Dilsukhnagar and other communally sensitive areas in Hyderabad. Dilsukhnagar has been on the terrorists' radar for long, in 1999 when a bomb was planted near a Hanuman temple. The device was detected in time by Police. It has also been mentioned that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) targeted Dilsukhnagar in the year 2002, planting a bomb near the Saibaba temple killing two persons. Further, top sources disclosed that the twin blasts bore the signature of the IM. First, the use of cycles to plant IEDs is known to be the modus operandi of the IM, according to Indian Express. A Police official stated, ‘’The IEDs were stuffed with shrapnels, nuts and bolts and pieces of steel which points to the fact that the perpetrators intended to cause maximum damage. The use of this material has been typical of IM. But the paste of the explosives appears to be a mixture of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and ammonium nitrate but the analysis of NSG will confirm that,’’ PETN has been known to be used by Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)-based militants, particularly the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI). While evidence suggested the role of IM, the use of PETN turned confusing as it is mostly known to be used by J&K terror outfits. The British intelligence had warned India about a possible terrorist attack by IM. The alert led to a general nationwide alert on February 20, reports The Times of India. The British intelligence alert is believed to have been received by Indian agencies just as British Prime Minister David Cameron was about to land in Mumbai on February 18. The Andhra Pradesh Government has set up two special teams which will conduct an independent inquiry to assist the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in handling the case, reports NDTV. Moreover, Hindustan Times reported on February 22, that on February 13, Intelligence Bureau (IB) had issued another alert on the basis of United Jehad Council (UJC) meeting in Pakistan, where the militant groups were adamant on avenging the hanging of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Afzal Guru.

The Shillong Times reports that in a shocking incident relating to militancy and extortion, five coal labourers were reportedly shot dead by armed militants in the afternoon of May 20 in retaliation for the quarry owner’s failure to pay up extortion money on time in Nangalbibra region of South Garo Hills District. The armed group is said to have served demand notes on coal mine owners throughout Nangalbibra region in the month of April and amounts ranging from INR 500000 to INR 10 million has been demanded by the outfit. The militants came to the quarry campus and pushed the labourers to one corner before opening fire on them from their automatic rifles resulting in the death of five workers and injury to many more. The full report on the attack and the number of casualties is expected only by May 21 (today) morning due to the remoteness of the region which has no proper vehicular road and mobile telecommunication network. Meanwhile, primary suspect remains the newly formed United Achik Liberation Army (UALA) headed by one Norrok X Momin. The UALA was formed after Norrok X Momin parted ways with the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) to form the new outfit.
