A young woman working for women’s rights in tribal regions, Fareeda Kokikhel (26), Director of Sewara, was killed in Jamrud tehsil (revenue unit) of Khyber Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on July 4, reports. According to her family, three men who were hiding in bushes opened fire on Fareeda when she came out of her home in Ghundi in the morning to go to her office in Hayatabad area of Peshawar. The assailants escaped on a motorcycle when members of the family rushed to the place after hearing gunshots. She received a bullet in head and two in neck. Fareeda told a Jamrud-based journalist a month ago that she was “under threat”. But she had not named the people threatening her. “I could even be killed in Peshawar,” Fareeda had responded when the journalist asked if she would move to Peshawar following the threats. She said she had changed her mobile phone number but people threatening her got her new cell number as well and kept on threatening her. Human rights activist Zarteef Afridi was killed in a similar attack on December 8, 2011 in the same area and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the murder.

Officials, on July 13, warned that the Taliban ban on polio would put 240,000 children at risk in Waziristan Agencies of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), if a vaccination campaign didn’t start by the coming week, reports Daily Times. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Hafiz Gul Bahadur group banned polio vaccinations in the Waziristan to protest against US drone attacks. "There is a possibility that we may have to skip the polio campaign in North and South Waziristan because we are not getting clearance from the army nor is the situation conducive," a government health official said. "We have threats from the Taliban. Going to these areas for a polio campaign would be tantamount to putting the lives of our staff in jeopardy," added the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Fawad Khan, Director of health services in the FATA, said that talks were ongoing between the administrators and the Taliban, but the health workers had not yet received ‘the green light’ for going ahead in Waziristan. The Lancet medical journal has said vaccination problems led last year to Pakistan's highest number of polio cases in a decade, 198, compared to 144 in 2010.

A tribal jirga (council) of local Ulema and civic leaders on July 17 expressed hope that they would be able to convince the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to permit oral polio vaccine to be given to children, reports Central Asia Online. “We have held talks with elders of the jirga, and they would now meet with Taliban leaders to prevail upon them that vaccination safeguards the children against disabilities and it was the religious duty of the parents to protect their children against diseases,” said Siraj Ahmad Khan, political agent of North Waziristan Agency. Even though a nationwide anti-polio campaign began July 16, 318,000 children in North and South Waziristan could lose their chance to be vaccinated because of TTP threats against the campaign, he added.

The polio prevention campaign suffered a double setback when a foreign doctor of the World Health Organisation associated with the immunisation work and his driver were injured in an attack in Karachi and a tribal jirga planned in North Waziristan to prepare ground for launching the campaign there could not be held because of a curfew in force there and concerns about security of health workers. Official sources in Peshawar said the three-day national immunisation campaign was under way in the entire country except North and South Waziristan where TTP had banned it last month.

A grand jirga of tribal elders, tasked by the Government to persuade militant groups to allow polio vaccination, informed the administration that the ban on immunisation in Waziristan would continue till drone attacks were stopped. A source privy to the meeting said that in plain words the pro-Government jirga had endorsed the ban imposed by a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) group on polio campaign in North Waziristan Agency. The jirga of tribal elders, Ulema and political authorities, held at the Governor’s Circuit House in Miranshah, discussed ways of resuming polio vaccination in North Waziristan. It was attended by about 300 tribal elders and prominent Ulema from across the tribal agency. Political Agent Siraj Ahmed Khan briefed the jirga on the importance of the campaign. Leaders of the jirga told the Government functionaries that the ban imposed by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group would continue till the stoppage of drone strikes because innocent people, including children and women, were being killed in such attacks.

A suicide bomber detonated an explosive laden vehicle near the house of a pro-Government militant commander Maulvi Nabi, killing at least nine persons, including four children, three of them being girls, and injuring 13 others, in a war of attrition between two militant outfits in Speen Tall area of Orakzai Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on July 21, reported Dawn. “This is basically between two militant groups,” Orakzai tribal region’s administrator Khushal Khan told the media. An official said that Maulvi Nabi, a militant commander, had waged a war of attrition against another outfit affiliated with the larger, more powerful Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). “Both groups are involved in killing each other’s men. Maulvi Nabi is not anti-state,” the official said. TTP spokesman in North Waziristan Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility for the attack. He told reporters that Maulvi Nabi was targeted because he was supporting the Government and was against the Taliban. Maulvi Nabi had joined the TTP as a commander for Hangu District, but later developed differences with the militant organisation and shifted to the neighbouring Speen Tall.

Eleven persons were killed and 23 others injured when an explosive-laden pick-up went off in a market in Salarzai tehsil (revenue unit) of Bajaur Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Dawn. At least 20 shops, five houses and several vehicles were destroyed as the bomb ripped through the busy market owned by former Member of National Assembly (MNA) Shahabuddin Khan who is chief of the Salarzai Qaumi Laskhar (community militia). Bajaur Levies officials said that Lashkar’s leaders, who were in the area at the time of the incident, could be the target of the attack but they narrowly escaped. No eminent leader of the lashkar was killed or injured. The victims were common people who were purchasing items of daily use for Iftar and Sehri. Bajaur Political Agent Sayed Abdul Jabar Shah held militants responsible for the attack. However, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman, Ihsanullah Ihsan, in a call to reporters said, “The TTP has no concern with the blast and it has never attacked common people and public places.”

Unidentified assailants shot dead a high ranking Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘commander’, Ashraf Marwat, at in the Shaktoi area of South Waziristan Agency, reports Daily Times. Ashraf Marwat was linked to an attack on a volleyball tournament at Shah Hassan Khel village in Lakki Marwat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) on January 1, 2010 that killed almost 90 persons and injured another 60. Police blamed Marwat for helping organise the deadly 2010 attack on the Shah Hassan Khel village in which a truck packed with explosives was detonated at a volleyball tournament. Police also say Marwat killed another TTP ‘commander’, Iftikhar Marwat, reportedly because of his association with Afghan Taliban. The dispute between the two men highlighted tensions within the insurgency. Iftikhar Marwat had apparently urged terrorists from his native Lakki Marwat District to focus their fight on foreign forces in Afghanistan instead of against Pakistani security forces. That angered Ashraf Marwat, who wanted to continue attacks in Pakistan.
