"It was a suicide attack on a security check post in which three tribal policemen and two paramilitary soldiers [died]," military spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said. Meanwhile, the local administration sources said that 19 people including nine Frontier Corps soldiers died in the attack. They said a number of Khasadars (tribal policemen) and civilians were also killed. Security forces fired artillery shells at several hilltops after the attack, they added.

Taliban spokesman Maulvi Umar on February 6 declared a unilateral cease-fire from South Waziristan to Swat, saying no security forces would be targeted. "We will not attack any security person, be it in Waziristan or in Swat (district)," he told Daily Times from an undisclosed location. Maulvi Umar denied the cease-fire was the result of "secret negotiations", claiming the Taliban were responding to a reduction in the military’s attacks on them. "We will not attack the security forces till [our] next announcement," he said, adding, "We see a marked decrease in intensity of attacks on us." Tribal sources said a Taliban shura (council) had decided on the cease-fire after the government had "agreed to meet certain points." However, the military said that operations against militants would continue. "This (Taliban ceasefire) is [a] one-sided (announcement). We received no formal communiqué," military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said.

At least 10 people were killed and 13 others sustained injuries when a teenaged suicide bomber blew himself up amidst a gathering of the Awami National Party (ANP) and tribal Lashkar (force) at Mirali in North Waziristan on February 11, The News reported. President of the North Waziristan chapter of the ANP, Haji Anwar Shah, was among the dead. Witnesses told The News from Mirali, the second biggest town after the regional headquarters Miramshah, that a suicide bomber blew himself up when the party workers reached Eedak village where armed men of the tribal Lashkar were manning a checkpoint set up on the main Bannu-Miramshah road to search vehicles carrying goods to Afghanistan. The attacker was reported to be travelling with the ANP activists from Tappi to Mirali where they had gone as part of their election campaign. The tribal Lashkar was recently raised by the Dawar tribes-people to evict foreign militants from their area, which according to them, provoked military operations by the Pakistani security forces and caused them multiple hardships.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Afghanistan Tariq Azizuddin was abducted along with his bodyguard and driver in the Jamrud sub-district of Khyber Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on February 11, according to Dawn. "He is missing and we believe that he has been kidnapped," a security official said. A political administration official in Jamrud confirmed the incident, but said that the administration had no prior information about his visit. "We had no prior information of his travel. The ambassador would never inform us whenever he travelled to or from Afghanistan," said deputy administrator of Landi Kotal Ahmad Khan Orakzai. Officials said they had blocked the highway, set up check-posts and started searching for the Ambassador. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and the Ambassador’s cell-phone was reportedly not responding.

Pakistan's Election Commission on February 13 postponed elections in a constituency in the Waziristan region due to the law and order situation in the area, Times of India reported. Election Commission Secretary Kanwar Dilshad said in a statement that the polls to the NA-42 constituency in Waziristan had been postponed until further orders.

Pakistan will go to the polls on February 18 to elect new national and provincial assemblies.

Authorities and tribal elders in North Waziristan have reached an agreement to revive a peace deal which had brought the government under severe criticism for capitulating to the militants, according to Dawn. A grand jirga (council) of 286 tribal elders from the Dawar and Wazir sub-tribes of Utmanzai gathered at the agency headquarters in Miranshah on February 17-morning to discuss the future line of action following the expiry of a unilateral cease-fire by militants. The truce, first announced on December 17, 2007, was extended five times. It was due to expire on February 17. Witnesses said that the grand jirga reached an agreement to revive the September 5, 2006, peace deal with the government. The controversial agreement had drawn criticism, particularly from Washington which believed that it had allowed al Qaeda to regroup in the militant tribal region. Critics of the agreement said the government had capitulated to the militants by granting them major concessions without getting anything in return, particularly on key demands relating to the expulsion of foreign militants, an end to cross-border infiltration into Afghanistan and a pledge not to form a parallel government. The government had withdrawn security forces from checkpoints, released militants and paid damages.

Polling was held peacefully in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) although there were apprehensions that militants might try to obstruct the electoral process, according to Dawn. A large number of tribesmen are reported to have exercised their right to vote. For the first time in region’s history, women were seen casting vote at many polling stations in Wana, the regional headquarters of South Waziristan. Reports said that tribal elders had this time allowed them to exercise their voting right. Women were also allowed to vote for the first time in the Yakaghund and Landi Kotal areas. In North Waziristan, militants also participated in the democratic process and were seen in voters’ queues. The overall atmosphere in Waziristan was reportedly peaceful and turnout was high. The turnout in the Mohmand and Orakzai regions, however, was comparatively low. Elections were held in 10 of the 12 constituencies in FATA. Polling in the NA-42 constituency in South Waziristan and NA-37 constituency in the Kurram Agency has been postponed for security reasons. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan had already announced that it would not obstruct the polling process anywhere in the country. However, about 18,000 voters in the Tiarza area in South Waziristan, most of them Mehsud tribesmen, boycotted the polling.

The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) emerged as the single largest party in the National Assembly followed closely by the Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) in the elections held on February 18, according to The Hindu. The PPP led with 87 seats out of 272, followed by 66 for the PML-N, and 38 for the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q). Among the smaller parties, (ANP) the Muttahida Qaumi Movement won 19 seats and the Pakhtun nationalist Awami National Party got 10 seats. The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, a religious coalition which won 59 seats in 2002, was able to win only three this time. Other political parties - the PPP-Sherpao, the Balochistan National Party, the National People’s Party and the PML-F - got one, one, two, and four seats, respectively, according to Daily Times. Independent candidates won 27 seats. In the Punjab province, the PML-N won 101 seats out of 280, while the PPP and independent candidates got 78 and 35 seats, respectively. The PML-Q got 66 seats. In Sindh, the PPP won 65 seats out of 125, while the MQM and the PML-Q got 38 and nine seats, respectively. The PML-N failed to win a single seat while one independent candidate was successful. In Balochistan, the PML-Q won 17 seats out of 44, while the PPP won seven seats. Independent candidates won ten seats. In the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), the ANP won 31 seats out of 85, while the PML-Q and the PML-N have won six and five seats, respectively. The PPP won 17 seats in the NWFP. In the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), six constituencies out of a total of 12 have been officially announced. Elections in two of the constituencies were postponed. As all the candidates in the region contested the elections as independent candidates, no political parties won any inroads in the region. At a press conference following a central executive committee meeting of the PPP, co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari staked the party’s claim to form the government at the Centre with the help of allies. The party is reportedly in a position to form the Sindh provincial government by itself. "We intend to make government in all four provinces and at the Centre, so we will act as the government-in-waiting with our allies… Our endeavour and our policy is to form a national consensus government that will take along all political forces," Zardari said.

At least 10 suspected militants were killed in a missile strike on a house in South Waziristan early on February 28, according to Daily Times. The dead were believed to be of Pakistani and foreign origins, residents and officials said. The attack occurred at approximately 2AM in Kaloosha village, 10 kilometres west of Wana, headquarters of South Waziristan. "Nine militants were killed instantly while a wounded Punjabi militant passed away hours later in a local hospital," the residents said. Security officials also put the toll at 10. However, local news agencies reported that 13 people were killed in the attack and several others injured. It is the second such attack in the area after militant commander Nek Muhammad was killed in a missile attack in June 2004. Resident Sharifullah said three missiles hit the house of Afghan national Sheroo, who hailed from the Zalikhel tribe, which is allegedly harbouring foreign and local militants. "There was no immediate information about the presence of any high-value target," an unnamed official told AFP. Armed militants cordoned off the incident site after the missile strike, the residents said, adding that four unidentified ‘guests’ had arrived late on February 27 at the destroyed house. Army spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP that the deaths were caused by explosive material stored in the house, adding that 10 to 12 people were killed in the blast. "As per our information it was an explosion caused by explosive material in the house." However, a security source based in Peshawar said that the missile was fired by a US drone at about 2am. A spokesman for the United States-led coalition force based in Afghanistan said it had "no reports" that either it or the separate North Atlantic Treaty Organisation-headed force were involved in the strike. Sources said that the militants belonged to the Abu Hamza group whose leader was said to be a follower of local militant commander Maulana Nazir, according to Dawn. Nazir won government’s support after launching an armed campaign against Uzbek militants in the Ahmadzai Wazir area in April 2007. A spokesman for Nazir denied the killing of Arabs or Turkmens in the attack and said that some Afghans had died. "They were common Afghans and had been living in the area for a few years." He claimed that missiles had been fired from Afghanistan.
