40 persons, including 17 children besides serving and retired Army officers and personnel, were killed and over 86 others injured, when a Friday congregation at the Parade Lanes mosque in Rawalpindi was attacked by a group of terrorists, The News reported. The high number of casualties was caused by hurling of grenades and indiscriminate targeted firing by the terrorists, reportedly numbering between six to eight. According to latest reports, two of the terrorists blew themselves up while two others were shot dead in an exchange of fire with the Security Forces (SFs). Exhaustive combing of the densely-populated locality was also being carried out by the SFs to flush out the other terrorists, who reportedly managed to escape from the spot and took refuge in the vicinity. The mosque is predominantly frequented by serving and retired Army officers, soldiers and members of their families and is not open to civilians living in the area. A serving Major General, a Brigadier, one Colonel and two Lt-Colonels were among the officers killed in the attack. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that 36 people, including 17 children, 10 civilians and nine Army personnel were killed in the attack. The ISPR said four terrorists approached the mosque inside an officers’ residential colony in the Parade Lane and lobbed grenades at worshipers, followed by indiscriminate firing. Meanwhile, two suicide bombers entered the mosque and blew themselves up, killing 36 people, who were offering the Friday prayers. SF personnel in the area retaliated and two other terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire. The terrorists reportedly scaled the mosque wall to enter the premises and carried out a double suicide attack, and when the people rushed out, their other accomplices hurled hand grenades at them and sprayed bullets with automatic weapons, killing 40 people on the spot and injuring over 86.

According to the AFP, Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters that the Taliban militants entered the mosque disguised as worshippers. Claiming responsibility for the attack, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said the Parade Lane mosque was similar to Masjid-e-Zarrar built in Madina by the munafiqeen (infidel), and was "demolished on the orders of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)". Talking to BBC, the TTP leader Waliur Rehman Mehsud said his men attacked senior army officers. "Our militants attacked the military officers (our primary target) and we will continue to attack the army," he said, adding that the civilians killed in the attack were relatives of army personnel and their deaths "did not matter," Daily Times reported.

The Superintendent of Police (Potohar Town), Kamran Adil, said there were at least four terrorists who blew themselves up inside and outside the mosque during the attack.

We are trying to ascertain our suspicions that there is at least another terrorist who has been killed and is among the dead counted so far, while at least two are hiding somewhere in the area. We are trying to track them down and arrest or kill them," he said.

Two bomb blasts killed at least 38 people, and injured more than 100 at the crowded Moon Market in Allama Iqbal area of Lahore in Punjab on December 7, according to Daily Times. The two bombs exploded 30 seconds apart at 8:45 PM (PST). The first blast occurred outside a plaza housing a branch of the Muslim Commercial Bank, while the other outside the Allama Iqbal Town Police Station, situated across the road. A suicide bomber had also targeted Moon Market in August 2008 in which nine people were killed. As the first bomb went off, the plaza where the bank is situated, and an adjacent building went up in flames, halting rescue work, Nazeer Ahmed, a security guard who was at the spot when the blasts occurred, said. Nazeer said the fire made it impossible to rescue anyone from the burning buildings. The Punjab Law Minister, Police officials and officials of the Bomb Disposal Squad, rescue officials and witnesses could not say if the blasts were suicide attacks or remote-controlled detonations. Punjab Inspector General Tariq Saleem Dogar said the bombs might have been detonated by remote control, while Superintendent of Police Ali Nasir Rizvi said he was not certain if a suicide bomber was involved. “We have recovered 33 dead bodies so far,” said Dr Rizwan Naseer, Director General of Rescue and put the toll for the injured at 95. However, Dawn reports 45 causalities in the twin blast.

A group of three Taliban militants launched a gun, rocket and suicide attack on the office of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), killing at least 12 people and injuring several others at Multan in Punjab on December 8, according to Daily Times. The blast in Multan destroyed the facades off several buildings in a part of the city largely reserved for Government and Security Agencies. The apparent target of the blast was a building housing an office of the ISI which was also damaged. Senior Police Officer Agha Yusuf said at least three Taliban militants in a car carried out the attack. He said one of them first fired a rocket and an automatic weapon at a police checkpoint, and then drove to the intelligence agency – where they blew it up. He said Security personnel were also among the 12 killed. “It was a suicide attack. There were two attackers who were stopped at the checkpost, but they tried to flee and Security personnel fired at them,” another Police Official, Arif Ikram told reporters. “The attackers returned fire and also launched two rockets, and later exploded their vehicle.” Multan’s top administrative official, Syed Mohammad Ali Gardezi, said that one military building was badly damaged in the blast. “They did not succeed in hitting the target,” he claimed.

A suicide car bomb exploded in a market outside the home of the Punjab Chief Minister’s senior adviser, Zulfiqar Khosa in Dera Ghazi Khan District of Punjab, killing 33 people and injured 60 others on December 15, according to Daily Times. Unidentified militants detonated the explosives outside the house of Khosa, who was not in home at the time of explosion. An eyewitness, Naeem, said a white-coloured car reached the gate of Khosa’s house and exploded, APP reported. Most of the dead and injured were persons shopping or working at the market. It was unclear whether the bomber meant to target the politician’s home or the market. The attack badly damaged the house and several nearby shops and buildings, including a mosque and bank. “The whole market has collapsed,” said Raza Khan, a local resident. “There is smoke and people running here and there.” The attacker had packed the car with about 900 pounds (400 kilogrammes) of explosives, Senior Police Officer Muhammad Rizwan said. Zulfiqar Khosa’s son, Dost Muhammad Khosa, said two of his cousins were among the wounded. “It was a direct attack on us,” Dost alleged, declining to speculate who was behind the blast. Meanwhile, Sardar Zulfiqar Khosa said that his residence was targeted in the suicide attack but he is not sure whether he was the target of the bomber or not. “All of my family members are safe and are in Lahore,” he told a private television channel after a suicide bomber exploded an explosives-laden car outside his residence. Khosa condemned the explosion.

The Sargodha civil court on December 15 granted 10 days’ physical remand of the five United States nationals arrested for their reported involvement in planning to join militant outfits, according to The News. They were brought to Sargodha from Lahore amid tight security and presented before the judge, where a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) requested for their 10-day remand. Meanwhile, United State’s State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in response to a question about the Lahore High Court order: “It sounds to me to be a reasonable judicial procedure.” The LHC had directed the authorities in Pakistan not to deport the arrested US nationals to any country. “We are in the process of working with the Pakistani authorities to determine their legal status, and formal charges haven’t been brought,” Kelly said. Declining to comment on the LHC verdict, Kelly said: “What we’re interested in is that their legal rights are being respected, that the local law is being followed, and that they have access to legal counsel. And we normally provide them with a list of lawyers, who are available in the matter that they’re being held for.”

The year 2009 proved to be another bloody year of the decade for media in Pakistan in which 10 journalists, in 163 cases of direct attacks on media, paid the ultimate price of practicing a difficult trade in the backdrop of rising terrorism and militancy and were killed in the line of duty, according to Dawn. Of these 10 journalists, four were killed in Punjab, three in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and one each in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Balochistan and Islamabad, according to the annual research on the state of media in Pakistan, released on December 30 by Intermedia, a Pakistani media development organisation that focuses on media research, advocacy and training. The total 163 cases included murders, assaults, abductions, explicit threats, censorship cases and attacks on media properties and establishments. Punjab bore the brunt of these attacks with 54 cases and the NWFP a close behind with 52, while Islamabad was the surprise third biggest victim of attacks on media with 28 cases. Sindh recorded 12 attacks, six attacks each were recorded in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and FATA, and three in Balochistan. Ten journalists were kidnapped in 2009, four in NWFP, two in Islamabad and one each in Balochistan, FATA, Punjab and Sindh. The report also documented at least 24 cases of assaults on working journalists across the country, in which 70 journalists were injured — 36 in Punjab, 12 in Islamabad, 10 in the NWFP, seven in Sindh and five in PoK. At least 28 journalists received threats in person or over the phone. Of these, nine journalists were in Islamabad, eight in the NWFP, seven in Sindh, and one in FATA. The Intermedia report also documented at least 35 cases of official gag orders, censorship or restrictions on publication or broadcast in 2009. Of these, the highest number of cases, 23, was in the NWFP, four in Punjab, three in Islamabad and one each in Sindh, Balochistan, FATA and PoK. Ten cases of physical and armed attacks were reported on media property and establishments, exemplified by the suicide attack on the Peshawar Press Club on December 22, 2009. Of these attacks, four were in the NWFP, two each in Fata and Punjab and one each in Islamabad and PoK. “At least 45 journalists have been killed in Pakistan in the last five years, several by suspected militants, but this is the first time that suicide squads of terrorists have targeted media persons as a specific, overt target, indicating a dramatic increase in the level of threats facing the media in the country,” Adnan Rehmat, executive director of Intermedia, said.
