Five Security Force (SF) personnel were killed when a group of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants from across the Afghanistan border attacked a security post at Olai checkpoint in Mohmand Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 2, reports Dawn. Four other SF personnel were injured and another one was stated to be missing. At least eight militants died when Security Forces (SFs) retaliated and pushed the attackers back to Afghanistan, officials said. A spokesman for the Frontier Corps said that militants had infiltrated from Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, adding that the post had been attacked from three directions. A spokesman for the TTP, Mohmand chapter, Mukarram Khurasani said only one of his colleagues was killed in the gun battle and claimed that heavy losses had been inflicted on SFs. The Olai checkpoint has been established near Salala check-post, which was attacked by NATO/ISAF forces on November 26, 2011.

Half of the terrorism-related stories published in the country’s key national newspapers originate from the border region in Pakistan’s northwest, says a new study released by a local media development organisation on April 5, reports Daily Times. “Almost 50 percent of terrorism stories come from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP),” says the study, ‘How Pakistani Media Reports Terrorism Related Conflict?’ The study has been conducted by the Intermedia Pakistan, an Islamabad-based media development organisation which focuses on training, advocacy and research on media issues. “On TV, the region gets 44 percent of the airtime when it comes to reporting on terrorism-related conflict.” “The study is based on in-depth content analysis of terrorism-related news reports published in a sample of newspapers and aired on select television channels,” says Sadaf Baig, the author of the report. “It unveils statistics that shed new light on the way local media covers terrorism in Pakistan.” In terms of regional break up of news coverage of terrorism-related events, the study says, “FATA dominates the coverage of terrorism with 26 percent of terrorism-related news emanating from the region, KP follows with 23 percent, Balochistan gets 24 percent coverage, Sindh 19 percent, Punjab eight percent, Islamabad six percent while Gilgit Baltistan two percent and AJK gets one percent of space in newspapers.” The study revealed that FATA and Frontier Regions (FRs) featured prominently in terrorism-related stories, adding that armed fighting and skirmishes dominated the incidents of terrorism events reported from FATA.

Pakistan is going to deploy specially trained Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) forces at 820 border posts along the Pak-Afghan border to counter the use of homemade landmines – the weapon that causes the most troop and civilian casualties on both sides of the border, reports The Express Tribune. “Special instructions are being passed to all agencies to enhance vigilance on the Pak-Afghan border. Pakistan has deployed 23 wings of the Frontier Corps (FC) for border control. The manpower deployed on approximately 820 posts established by the Pakistan Army/FC along the international border are being trained to monitor the movement of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN),” said an official document available with The Express Tribune. CAN and Ammonium Nitrate (AN) are used to manufacture fertilisers but simultaneously function as key ingredients in making homemade mines called IEDs. The FC has trained their personnel in basic Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to undertake search and disposal operations, while specialised Police units have been established to undertake EOD tasks which will be used not only on border points but during raids on IED manufacturing sites on its side of the border. IEDs have caused over 13,918 (civilian and military) casualties, which is 47% of the total casualties suffered by Pakistan over the past four years in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone. The use of Taliban homemade landmines and roadside bombs against NATO forces has reached record levels according to a Pentagon task force. IEDs are the number one cause of casualties for International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF), newly trained Afghan National Security Forces (NSF) troops and civilians. The US has devoted huge resources to defeating the IED threat over the years but with little success. The US Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) alone has an annual budget of over USD three billion, and since 2006, USD 20 billion have been spent on C-IED efforts.

More than 181,000 people have fled fighting between Government troops and Taliban or al Qaeda-linked militants in the Khyber Agency Areas of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said on April 13, reports Daily Times. “The number of people displaced by an ongoing government security operation in northwest Pakistan has now surpassed 181,000,” said a statement from the office of the UNHCR. The agency said that about 10,000 new arrivals were being registered daily at the Jalozai camp near Peshawar. “The vast majority of those registered - 85 percent - choose not to live in the Jalozai camp, opting instead to stay with friends, relatives or in rented accommodation,” said the UNHCR adding that it had distributed more than 37,000 humanitarian kits. Other UN agencies, including UNICEF and the World Health Organisation, were also providing aid. The fighting started on January 20 when the Government troops attacked terrorist groups in the Khyber Agency.
