Suspected militants blew up 15 video shops in the Mardan district of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), while unidentified motorcyclists destroyed two music shops in Charsadda district on May 9-night, Daily Times reported.

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. At least 25 of the group’s activists were arrested. An unspecified number of police personnel and other people were injured in the clashes. 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. Recently, the group had announced the holding of a protest rally on May 20 to demand the release of its chief Maulana Sufi Mohammad, imprisoned for over five years. However, the NWFP government has asked the local administration not to allow the rally.

The NWFP Law Minister Malik Zafar Azam told reporters that it was a suicide attack. "I myself saw the suicide bomber’s two legs inscribed with two messages, one in Pushto and the other in Persian. The message written in Pashto warned that those spying for America would face the same consequences." Azam said it would be premature to say who was behind the suicide attack, "but it may be a reaction to Taliban military commander Mullah Dadullah’s killing two days ago in Afghanistan." He added that the owner of the hotel, which is located near the Mahabat Khan mosque, was from Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan and most of the customers at the hotel were Afghans. However, the Federal Interior Ministry’s spokesperson, Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, told a press conference in Islamabad that "We have found no clue suggesting that the attack was in reaction to the Taliban leader’s killing in Afghanistan… Dadullah was an Afghan national operating from Afghanistan and he died there. Pakistan has nothing to do with his death." He, however, said that the suicide bombing might have links with terrorists operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s Waziristan region.

Six people were killed and 15 others, including four police personnel, were injured in clashes between security force (SF) personnel and Islamic militants in the Tank city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on May 16, according to Dawn. According to witnesses, a rocket fired by the militants landed in the Rizwan Grain market of the city on Tank-Dera road, killing five civilians, including two brothers. Clashes in different parts of the city occurred for more than two hours and both sides used rockets and light cannons, causing collateral damage to bazaars and residential areas, residents said. Some unidentified people reportedly lobbed hand-grenades at district courts where SFs had set up checkpoints. The attack, however, did not hurt anyone. Later, the militants, armed with rockets and heavy machine-guns, moved into the town and started targeting the SFs. "The number of attackers was about 40 who challenged the security forces and went back to their area," an eye-witness said. People alleged that SFs fired on civilians instead of targeting militants who were seen roaming freely in the city.

Christians at Charsadda in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) have been warned by some unidentified elements through chalking on a wall of the Church to convert to Islam or leave the area, otherwise get ready for serious consequences, according to The News. Two Christian members of the Punjab Assembly asked the NWFP government to provide security to the Christian community otherwise it (provincial government) would be responsible for any harm to the local Christians. Talking to the media on May 18, Punjab Assembly Members Naved Aamir Jeva and Pervez Rafiq said that efforts were being made by certain anti-state elements to fan sectarian violence in the country through such threatening letters and wall chalking. The legislators from Punjab also condemned Charsadda police and administration for paying no heed to the genuine complaints of the Christian community.

According to Daily Times, suspected militants abducted nine government officials, including six women, at gunpoint on the Bannu-Miranshah highway in North Waziristan, officials said on May 19. Official sources said that more than 30 masked gunmen stopped the government officials’ vehicle near Nawrak, 15 kilometers east of Miranshah and near Mir Ali town, the headquarters of North Waziristan. “The officials were coming from Peshawar on a special survey mission to assess development projects in the region. They were accompanied by guards who could do little to protect them,” the officials said. The militants took away wireless communication equipment and six Kalashnikov rifles from the six guards. No group has claimed responsibility but the local administration blamed “disgruntled elements” among the militant groups.

The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal led North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government on May 22 struck a nine-point peace agreement with an Islamist cleric who has led a campaign through an unlicensed radio station against polio vaccinations and education for girls in the Swat district, according to Daily Times. In exchange for allowing the FM radio station to continue broadcasts, Maulana Fazlullah of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) agreed to now support the polio vaccination campaign and education for girls, as well as government efforts to establish law and order. He also agreed to wrap up all training facilities for militants and making of weapons, and support the district administration in any operation against anti-state elements. Maulana Fazlullah, who is also son-in-law of Maulana Sufi Muhammad, the imprisoned chief of the TNSM, and Swat District Coordination Officer (DCO) Syed Muhammad Javed signed the agreement in the presence of a council made up of some 100 local notables and government representatives. Fazlullah reportedly has considerable support among the conservative population of the district and led a campaign denouncing television, music, polio drops, education for girls and women’s empowerment through speeches on his illegal FM station. He has now been allowed to operate the radio station until Pakistan Electronic Media and Regulatory Authority laws are extended to the Provincially Administered Tribal Areas. "I have signed the agreement for the sake of peace as Islam teaches us peace," Maulana Fazlullah, 28, said after the signing ceremony in an under-construction mosque at Pam Dheri village in Swat district. Swat DCO Syed Muhammad Javed said that the agreement was in the interest of both the people and the government. "There was a misunderstanding between the government and the Maulana sahib and today’s agreement has removed this misunderstanding," he said after the ceremony. Under the agreement, the government will look for legal ways to withdraw cases against the cleric, who agreed that he would not allow his supporters to be involved in making weapons, running militant training camps in mountains areas of the district, and that he would support the government against militants. The agreement also bars the cleric and his supporters from displaying weapons in public and interfering in government departments’ affairs.

11 of the 15 members of the tribal peace committee in North Waziristan are reported to have resigned in protest against a recent military operation in Zargerkhel village. Led by former senator Mateen Shah, members of the committee, formed after the signing of the September 2006 peace agreement, handed over their resignations to Political Agent Pirzada Khan Wazir on May 23-evening, according to Dawn. They alleged that by conducting the operation, the military authorities had violated the accord. However, a government official claimed that not all the members of the peace committee were in favour of resigning and those who announced this decision had done so under pressure from militants. Four people were killed and two others injured in the operation. Tribal leaders say that the victims were innocent people and belonged to North Waziristan.

Officials said the militants fired indiscriminately on people in the house. The dead reportedly included six members of the family and seven guests. "We could hear the rattle of guns and explosions in our office," said Marwat. "It was a big attack and a large number of militants were involved," he added. However, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. Amiruddin Khan belonged to a spiritual family of South Waziristan and one of his brothers, Attiqur Rehman, was a Pir (someone who is considered to have mystic powers, according to the Sufi tradition) and his actions might have antagonised some people. After expulsion from his native area, Pir Attiq shifted to Karachi where he now has a large number of followers. He brings out a magazine, Zarbe Haq, from Karachi to propagate his ideology. Officials said the self-proclaimed Pir published editorials and articles in his magazine against militant commander Abdullah Mahsud and described him as an agent of the US. The 40-year-old Pir has been a strong critic of Talibanisation and militancy in the tribal region.

“Independent cells” on the pattern of al Qaeda inspired by the Taliban are actively spreading Talibanisation across the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Tank district is the “litmus test” for these cells to prove how serious a threat they pose to the state, officials said on May 31, according to Daily Times. “These independent cells are proving their point in Tank district,” said counter-terrorism officials. NWFP Information Minister Asif Iqbal said the people attacking Tank represented “small independent groups” operating under the Taliban name. “When the strongest arm of the government, the army, was neutralised it gave the cells hope that they could take on the relatively less equipped administration of a settled district,” officials said. “The people in Swat have no link to Baitullah Mehsud but are doing something the Taliban in Pakistan or Afghanistan would take pride in.” Brig (r) Mehmood Shah, former Federally Administered Tribal Areas home secretary, told Daily Times. “The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazlur Rehman faction) is the political face of Islamic militancy in Pakistan,” he said.

There is a province-wide offensive on girls’ schools, video stores and barber shops in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) by the Islamist radicals, their supporters and sympathisers, according to a report in Christian Science Monitor on May 31, according to Daily Times. These three, viewed as “symbols of Western-oriented life”, are being destroyed by religious extremists in a growing wave of violence. Four girls’ schools have been bombed and violent threats have been circulated that girls should stay home. While no girls or school staff have been killed, girls in some areas have stopped attending classes, the report points out. According to the report, entrenched tribal, religious, and economic imperatives in conservative areas regard the schooling of girls as either improper, since girls should not venture outside the purview of the family home, or unnecessary, since girls are often needed for work. The Monitor report notes that in 2002, the NWFP government allocated 70 percent of its entire education development budget to girls’ schools and created more than 300 primary and middle schools for girls between 2002 and 2005. Local authorities also gave parents small stipends and free clothing to encourage them to enroll their girls. It is these new schools that extremists like Maulana Fazlullah from Swat tend to target. For months, using a pirated radio channel, Fazlullah had warned locals against sending their girls to school, calling it un-Islamic and a violation of purdah (veil).
