Authorities should only use force as a last resort against militants near the Afghan border, newly elected North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti said on April 1, according to Daily Times. Addressing the provincial assembly, he said the use of force in the past made it harder to bring peace to the province. He said his Government would, instead, promote dialogue at all levels. "We’ll make every effort to restore peace in the province. We’ll form traditional jirgas for peace," he stated. The Awami National Party’s Hoti was elected as Chief Minister unopposed on March 31.

According to locals, commanders Iqbal Hussain and Ikramuddin led the armed militants — numbering between 40 and 45. The local Taliban marched in the Shakar Darra area, which is 500 metres from the Baryam check-post. Neither the security force personnel at the check-post, nor the area police officials reportedly posed any resistance to the show of strength. Locals said that the militants were traveling to the Pisho Dherai area. Fazlullah’s spokesman, Sirajuddin, said that the local Taliban were returning to their respective areas to resume their ‘responsibilities’.

A close aide of the TNSM leader Maulana Fazlullah has offered to surrender on the condition that security forces and the government grant him amnesty from prosecution. Talking to Daily Times over the telephone from an undisclosed location, Muhammad Ali Shah a.k.a. Nadar Mulla, said he was never involved in attacks on army. The Taliban had kept him in prison for 35 days at Imam Dheri as he had helped release five Frontier Corps personnel whom the militants wanted to kill, said the militant commander. Nadar Mulla said he left Imam Dheri along with other Taliban militants following the bombing of the area by security forces. He said he was now under pressure from Taliban commander Khan Khitab. He also said he had nothing to do with the issuing of a fatwa (edict) calling for slaughter of army troops.

A Taliban commander, blamed for the deadliest attack on United States (US) troops since they entered Afghanistan in 2001, has been killed in a shootout with security forces in Pakistan, US and Pakistani officials have said, according to Daily Times. Police killed Ahmad Shah alias Mullah Ismail, at a roadblock near Peshawar, an unnamed senior Pakistani intelligence official said. Jehanzeb Khan, a police official in Badhber, said local officers responding to an emergency call about a kidnapping on April 10 had opened fire on one car when the driver tried to speed away from a roadblock. He said two suspected kidnappers were killed and their victim was freed unharmed. An unnamed senior Pakistani intelligence official said further investigation had identified one of them as Shah. The US officials — one from the military and one working in counter-terrorism – also confirmed Shah’s death in Pakistan. Zabiullah Mujahed, a Taliban spokesman, said he did not know if Shah was dead. Shah’s death was first reported by CBS News on April 16.

A copy of the six-point agreement issued to media late on April 21 said suicide bombings and the killing of innocent people had necessitated the accord. Under the agreement, the TNSM will continue to pursue a peaceful struggle for the enforcement of Shariah, while respecting the law and condemning those who commit violence. It was not known if rebel cleric Maulana Fazlullah, Sufi Muhammad’s son-in-law, has agreed to the pact. Sufi Muhammad was arrested in 2001 while attempting to return from Afghanistan, where he led thousands of Muslim volunteers in the Taliban’s fight against the US-backed war on terror. A spokesman of Fazlullah hailed his father-in-law’s release, saying that they hoped the NWFP Government would continue these efforts. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan also welcomed Sufi Muhammad’s release.

The leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Baitullah Mehsud, has ordered his militants to "immediately cease their activities" in the FATA and NWFP, Dawn reported. "Baitullah Mehsud has issued directives to all his comrades that in order to restore peace in the region, they should cease their activities forthwith both in the tribal region as well as the settled districts of the NWFP," said a pamphlet released on April 23. "He has warned that his directives should be complied with and those violating them will be publicly punished," it said. A spokesman for Baitullah confirmed the contents of the pamphlet circulated in South Waziristan in FATA and the adjoining districts of Tank and Dera Ismail Khan in the NWFP. The development follows negotiations between the TTP and the Government, conducted through tribal interlocutors. A 15-point draft agreement, to be signed between the Mehsud tribe of South Waziristan and the local political administration, calls for an end to militancy, exchange of prisoners, withdrawal of the military and resolution of issues in accordance with local customs and the Frontier Crimes Regulation. TTP spokesman Maulana Omar told Dawn that the military had begun pulling out of the Mehsud area as a result of the talks. The draft agreement envisages the Frontier Corps would replace the military in the area. A military spokesman, however, denied that any orders had been issued to pull out the army. "Not yet… So far we have not received any orders from the government," Major General Athar Abbas said. Omar said talks between the two sides were "coming to fruition". The agreement would incorporate demands from the two sides, he added. He claimed that the TTP had in custody more than 100 military, paramilitary and Government officials. They would be released after the signing of the peace accord through a grand tribal jirga. He said the Government had released three of their people, including TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Mohammad. He expressed the hope that the Government would also withdraw forces from other areas.

The North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Government has received a list of demands from the local Taliban to end the ongoing tension and restore peace in the Swat Valley, Daily Times reported. According to sources in the Government, negotiations between the Maulana Fazlullah-led Taliban and the NWFP Government are scheduled to occur in a few days. They claimed that the intelligence agencies had forwarded the list of demands to the Government. The sources said that the Taliban have demanded the imposition of Shariah (Islamic law) in Malakand division, an end of all cases against the Taliban and amnesty for the local Taliban of the region. The Government is considering the demands to bring peace to the region, they added. The local Taliban are also in contact with the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad for peace and Shariah in the region. Sufi Muhammad has convened a shura (executive council) meeting of the TNSM on May 15 to deliberate on the peace process in the region. Further, Fazlullah said on April 30 that he is ready for talks with the Government. In a speech broadcast on his illegal FM radio station, he said that the Government must show sincerity in its efforts for peace to ensure successful negotiations. He also vowed to continue the struggle for the implementation of Shariah in the Malakand division and urged the people of the region to support his cause. Fazlullah claimed that some elements were attempting to sabotage the peace efforts by creating misunderstanding between the Government and the Taliban. This was the first transmission by Fazlullah’s radio station since it was shut down by troops during the military operation in 2007.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 30 refused to talk to the Government after the latter sent a Jirga (council) to negotiate a peace deal in the militancy-hit tribal regions. Talking to The News from an undisclosed location, the TTP spokesman Maulana Omar rejected the reports as baseless which claimed that talks between militants and the Government had resumed to resolve the conflict in FATA, Swat and Darra Adam Khel. "Yes, the government approached us once again on Wednesday and sent even a Jirga that wanted us to resume the talks. But we declined the offer as the talks have no purpose," remarked the militants' spokesman and a close aide to TTP chief and deputy chief Baitullah Mehsud and Maulana Faqir Mohammad, respectively. "Once again I fear clouds of violence are hovering over the tribal areas and some settled districts of NWFP if the present government repeats the blunders of the previous one led by Gen Musharraf," Omar said. He added that "We will never lay down arms till the army is present in the tribal areas and Swat."
