Ten persons are reported to have been wounded in three minor explosions at a rally of the Jamaat-e-Islami at Nowshera in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on January 9. The Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad was addressing the rally which was organised in protest against the Bajaur Agency's by-elections at the Shobra Chowk when the blasts occurred in quick succession, according to Dawn.

About 2,000 ethnic Pashtun tribesmen rallied at Chaman in the Balochistan province on January 15 to condemn the Pakistan government’s new border control measures, according to Daily times. Chanting anti-Pakistan slogans, the protesters asked the government to abandon its plan to plant mines and build a fence along parts of its frontier with Afghanistan. "These measures are not meant to stop Taliban from entering into Pakistan. These steps are aimed at dividing Pashtuns, who live on both sides of the border," said Sardar Gillani, a leader of the nationalist Awami National Party. "Don’t divide us. Don’t stop us from going to Afghanistan… Don’t stop Afghans from coming here, because they are our brothers and sisters," he said.

Police on May 13 resorted to baton-charge and fired teargas shells to disperse protesting activists of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) in the Kabal area of Mingora in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), according to Dawn.

The activists had reportedly gathered at the Kabal ground to demand release of their associates arrested during the last couple of days. Tension has been high in the area for a couple of months as a TNSM leader, Maulana Fazlullah, has been propagating through his illegal FM radio station against the government and polio campaigns and preaching his own version of Islam.

A suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto killed 138 persons and injured approximately 550 others on October 18-night in Karachi, according to The News. Two explosions struck near a truck carrying Benazir, but she was not injured and was hurried to her house, police and officials of her party said. "The blasts hit two police vehicles which were escorting the truck carrying Ms Bhutto. The target was the truck," senior Karachi police official Azhar Farooqui told Reuters. Police officer Raja Umer Khitab said evidence at the incident site suggested it was a suicide bombing. He informed that the legs and head of the suicide bomber were found. "There were two blasts, one on the left side and one on the right side of the procession… It appears these were suicide attacks, but it is not confirmed," Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said. "This was an act of terrorism targeting Benazir Bhutto and aimed at sabotaging the democratic process," Sherpao told AFP. "We suspect these were suicide bombings because any pre-planted or timed device would have been prevented by jammers attached to security vehicles," he added. The two explosions occurred a minute apart shortly after midnight near Karsaz bridge close to the vehicle Benazir Bhutto was traveling in, at the head of a procession of hundreds of thousands of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) supporters who had flooded the streets of Karachi to welcome their leader on her return from eight years in self-imposed exile, according to Daily Times.

Four groups fighting for autonomy in the Terai region have formed a joint front and announced protest programmes, according to Kantipuronline. The groups, including a faction of the Madheshi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF) led by Bhagya Nath Gupta, announced on December 6 the formation of a front called "Broader Madheshi Rastriya Morcha". Gupta said that the front was formed as the scattered agitation was not yielding desired results in the Terai. He also claimed that other groups in the region, including the Joint Tharu National Front, the Limbuwan and Khumbhuwan groups, would also join the front. He, however, asserted that they will not forge an alliance with the armed outfits in the Terai, which have been demanding a separate State.

Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson, was assassinated on December 27 in a gun and suicide attack as she drove away from a campaign rally just minutes after addressing thousands of supporters at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, according to Daily Times. 30 more people were killed and over 100 others, including Benazir’s political secretary Naheed Khan and Sherry Rehman, wounded when a suicide attacker riding on a motorbike blew himself up after firing at Benazir who was waving to her supporters from her vehicle’s sun roof. PPP spokesman Farhatullah Babar stated that Benazir fell inside the vehicle after receiving bullets in her head and neck. Witnesses said three gun shots were heard before the suicide blast near her Black Lexus bulletproof vehicle. She later died at the Rawalpindi General Hospital. “The blast happened at around 5:10pm and the doctors pronounced her dead at 5:25pm,” Babar said. "It may have been pellets packed into the suicide bomber's vest that hit her," interior ministry spokesman Javed Cheema told AFP. Following the assassination, PPP activists reacted violently in different cities in Punjab, Sindh, NWFP and Balochistan. Angry protestors took to the streets, pelted stones, burned government and private property and various vehicles besides chanting slogans against the government, The Post reported. At least 10 people were killed in different parts of the country, including two in Lahore, during the exchange of fire. In Karachi, police said at least 70 vehicles were burnt by protesters, including 35 trucks filled with wheat. All petrol pumps were immediately closed as knots of protesters blocked many roads.

Official sources told The News that civil armed forces have been summoned in aid of the security agencies to maintain law and order, adding the security around sensitive installations and government personalities has been beefed up.
