According to Dawn, seven people, including two children and a Frontier Corps soldier, were killed and 48 others sustained injuries an explosives-laden car rammed into a pick-up near a check-post on the Bara road near Peshawar in the morning of May 5. The Bara Qadeem check-post was manned by the Police and Frontier Constabulary. Eyewitnesses said the car on a suicide mission was following a Frontier Corps pick-up from Bara and hit it when it slowed down near the check-post. The pick-up was carrying students to a school in Peshawar. The Senior Superintendent of Police Mian Ghulam Mohammad said no one had accepted responsibility for the blast. According to bomb disposal personnel, the explosives weighed about 85 kilograms. The blast also reportedly caused a deep crater in the middle of the road and damaged dozens of houses and shops.

The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has allegedly warned doctors of the public sector hospitals in Peshawar, the NWFP capital, to stop wearing shirts and trousers or face suicide bombing. A senior doctor at the Lady Reading Hospital told The News they had received a letter from the TTP, asking doctors and all other medical staff to immediately stop wearing shirts and trousers or suicide bombers would target them at their institutions. Two other senior doctors at the Hayatabad Medical Complex and the Khyber Teaching Hospital also confirmed receiving similar threats from the TTP. They said chief executives of all the three hospitals directed their staff members, particularly doctors, to stop wearing shirts and trousers so that they could be saved from suicide bombers. The NWFP Secretary for Health, Dr Sohail Altaf, confirmed the threatening letters that were received by the hospital executives from unknown people. He said he too had received a copy of the letter, adding that he did not believe the Taliban would have sent the letter.

At least 11 people were killed and 13 others injured on May 11 in a suicide attack on a camp of the Frontier Constabulary (FC) in the Spina Thana area of Darra Adamkhel, The News reported. The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Darra Adamkhel chapter, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying more suicide attacks would be carried out if the military operation was not stopped in Swat and other parts of the country. Authorities confirmed the killing of nine people, including an FC soldier and a child. Apart from the Frontier Constabulary, the Frontier Corps is also stationed at the camp to jointly curb militancy in the area. Those injured included an FC soldier and five members of a family. 12 shops, a car, a coach and two trailers were also destroyed in the blast. Eyewitnesses said a white double-cabin pick-up narrowly missed the FC camp and went off at the entrance of the military establishment. They said the explosives-laden vehicle was being driven by a young man. Police said around 200 kilograms of explosive material was laden in the car. Spina Thana is located between Matani village of Peshawar and the gun-manufacturing town of Darra Adamkhel.

A powerful car bomb exploded near the Tasveer Mahal Cinema hall in the busy Kabuli Chowk area of Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, on May 22, killing at least 10 people and injuring over 65 others, The News reported. Besides destroying the front elevation of the Tasveer Mahal Cinema, the powerful explosion also damaged another nearby movie hall, dozens of music centres and shops as well as several vehicles. The blast also disconnected power supply to the area hampering rescue efforts. Windowpanes of buildings in the adjoining Qissa Khwani, Khyber Bazaar, Mohallah Jhangi, Shoba Bazaar and Namakmandi areas were damaged due to the impact of the explosion. The Capital City Police Officer, Safwat Ghayyur, while admitting a security lapse, said 40-50 kilograms of explosives were used in the blast.

According to the ISPR media update, a known militant commander identified as Ghaniur Rehman has been arrested by the troops during the search and cordon operation. He was allegedly involved in killing police officials. A local elder said there were some 40-50 militants in Bahrain but they fled the town on May 27-evening when they came to know about the arrival of the SFs. “They (Taliban) are avoiding fighting with the security forces now and are running,” he said and added the militants had shifted to Kalam. The elder said the group of Taliban militants in Kalam was commanded by one Khushmir, a resident of Gilgit. He said five militants were killed in a clash in Bahrain. The ISPR said an explosive-laden vehicle was destroyed and two militants were killed at Satal, four kilometers short of Bahrain town. Though there were conflicting reports about casualties in the Satal incident, a man from Kalam claimed that a Taliban commander, identified as Wazifa, had been killed in the clash along with seven other militants. He claimed a ‘deputy commander’ of the militants in the area, Hameedi, confirmed the death of Wazifa. Some residents of Kanju, who managed to reach the provincial capital Peshawar on May 28, said Mingora, Kanju and Kabal towns were almost cleared as the Taliban had vacated these areas. “They have moved towards mountains,” they said. Two militants, according to the ISPR, were killed during an exchange of fire between the Taliban and SFs in Malam Jabba. The SFs also continued action in Peuchar village and carried out cordon and search operations there. The troops also ambushed a group of 15-20 militants at Manodherai and killed three of them while four others were arrested. One soldier sustained injuries in the incident. Further, a convoy of eight Army trucks carrying relief and food destined for Barikot and Mingora was ambushed at Landakay near Barikot. Four soldiers, the ISPR said, were killed in the incident but relief goods were transported safely and distributed among stranded people of Mingora.
