The investigators have fixed responsibility regarding illegal use of mobile phones by Dr Shakil Afridi on two security guards of the Peshawar Central Prison, reports The News. Official sources said that finally two security guards of Dr Shakil Afridi were found guilty after investigation by an intelligence agency and the police. However, both the prison cops Khalil and Asif Mughal, hailing from Dera Ismail Khan, are under suspension as the authorities have yet to decide their fate. The remaining four guards were restored on their duties in other places of the prison after being found innocent in the case. The sources close to the investigation process said the convicted Dr Shakil Afridi had used his SIM card for making about 13 calls from his place of detention. He is reported to have made about 58 national and international calls. The Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency unearthed the telephone calls’ case after the American TV channel, Fox News claimed that its correspondent had conducted more than 40-minute interview of Dr Shakil Afridi from the prison.

The Peshawar High Court on December 11 directed the principal staff officer at the General Headquarters to form a board for looking into the suspected custodial killing of a missing person and observed that if any official of the armed forces or intelligence agencies was found involved in it, he should be tried by court martial. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth took exception to the killing of Anar Gul, who had gone missing in May 2011, and observed that his death appeared to be the custodial killing. It also directed the Provincial Home Secretary, the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) and the DIG (investigation) to constitute a committee to probe the incident and submit comprehensive report as to who was responsible for whisking him away and killing him. The bench directed the principal staff officer at GHQ to form an inquiry board under the Army Act to find in whose custody Anar Gul was and under what law he was held.

Security forces on December 16 killed five more militants – said to be Uzbeks – in a fierce encounter in Pawaki village, just one kilometer from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) airbase in Peshawar (provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), clearing the area off miscreants after the December 15 night’s attack on the Bacha Khan International Airport and PAF base, reports The News. All together 10 militants, two civilians and two SFs were killed in the two days operation. The airport was cleared 16 hours after the assault. Officials said that 10 militants armed with suicide jackets, two explosive-laden vehicles, hand-grenades, rocket launchers and automatic weapons stormed the airbase at around 8:15pm and tried to enter the airport building on Saturday night. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it had sent 10 attackers to accomplish the mission. The TTP ‘spokesman’ Ehsanullah Ehsan called different media organisations to announce that their target was the PAF installations at the airbase.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain on December 17 ruled out the need for a military operation against terrorists in Peshawar after attack on the Pakistan Air Force base inside Bacha Khan International Airport on December 15-16, saying the security situation in the district is under control, reports Dawn. “There is no need for the start of a military action in Peshawar because the law and order situation is under control. Police can take necessary steps against terrorism on their own if a need arises,” Mr Hussain told a news conference at Officers Mess in Peshawar. The Minister said the PAF base attackers were Uzbeks with heavily tattooed bodies. “Involvement of foreigners in the attack means that terrorist groups are not getting local support any longer and thus, using terrorist trainers for attacks,” he said. The Minister further said the Government was committed to continuing the fight against terrorists, who wanted to carry out attacks like those of Mehran and Kamra airbases, but the personnel of law-enforcement agencies deserved praise for foiling such attempts.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Government December 18 informed the Peshawar High Court that it has transferred about 260 suspected militants to internment centres and that 86 others would undergo four months of de-radicalisation starting in January, 2013. Most of the suspects were arrested in Swat District and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas in 2009. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth, heard from the Provincial Home Secretary, Azam Khan, that it has complied with a Peshawar High Court order to move detained suspects to internment centres or to release them if evidence is lacking, Dawn reported. The authorities released 45, Khan said. Authorities transferred suspects to centres in Lakki Marwat and in Fizza Ghut and the Pak-Austrian Institute of Tourism and Hotel Management, both in Swat, Khan said. After workers finish building the Kohat internment centre by January 15, authorities will move another 200 suspected hard-core militants there, he said. The Frontier Corps (FC) has moved about 71 suspects to five internment centres, FC spokesman Major Farrukh said.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government has submitted the “categorised lists” of missing persons in the Peshawar High Court as per the court’s direction, according to Home Secretary Azam Khan, Daily Times reported on December 19. “The list has been submitted as per the court’s directive,” he said after the hearing at the Peshawar High Court where applications about missing persons are being heard. The Home Secretary informed a division bench, comprising of Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan and Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth, that heads of security agencies, police and other law enforcing agencies held a meeting on December 14 in the office of KP Chief Secretary in which the lists were prepared. According to the fresh report of missing persons in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and tribal agencies, security agencies so far released 45 missing persons after declaring them as “white” as no proofs and evidence of their involvement in terrorist activities were found. About 261 detainees were named hardcore militants and declared as “black” in the lists and were shifted to internment centers, including 56 detainees to Lakki Marwat Internment Centre, 54 to Fizagat Internment Centre and 80 to Patham Internment Center in Swat District.
