In a bid to impose their own puritanical version of Islam, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) introduced “moral policing” in parts of north-eastern Afghanistan, Afghan Police claimed on April 1, reports The Express Tribune. Key leaders of the TTP – including its ‘commanders’ in Swat, Bajaur Agency and Mohmand Agency Maulana Fazalullah, Maulvi Faqir and Abdul Wali – and dozens of their loyalists had fled military operations and sought sanctuary in the Afghan provinces of Nuristan and Kunar. Sporadically, they have been mounting cross-border attacks on Pakistani border guards in Chitral and Dir Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. They have introduced “moral policing” on the pattern of the Taliban-era ‘Department for the Preservation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice’ in Kamdesh District of Nuristan province. Their armed vigilantes roam the streets to stop what they believe are un-Islamic activities. “Turbaned and bearded Pakistani Taliban fighters, clad in black clothes, punish local people for shaving or trimming beards, using mobile phones and even eating Naswar,” Provincial Police Chief Ghulamullah Nuristani told The Express Tribune by phone. These vigilantes, according to Nuristani, are affiliated with a TTP group, led by Maulana Fazlullah, the infamous cleric who had fled his stronghold in Swat District following a military operation in 2008. However, Sirajuddin, a TTP ‘spokesperson’, denied the claim. So did the Afghan Taliban. The Taliban’s shadowy Governor for Nuristan, Sheikh Dost Muhammad, dismissed Nuristan’s claim as “part of propaganda to undermine the Taliban’s growing popularity in the region”.

Five Security Force (SF) personnel were killed when a group of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants from across the Afghanistan border attacked a security post at Olai checkpoint in Mohmand Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on April 2, reports Dawn. Four other SF personnel were injured and another one was stated to be missing. At least eight militants died when Security Forces (SFs) retaliated and pushed the attackers back to Afghanistan, officials said. A spokesman for the Frontier Corps said that militants had infiltrated from Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, adding that the post had been attacked from three directions. A spokesman for the TTP, Mohmand chapter, Mukarram Khurasani said only one of his colleagues was killed in the gun battle and claimed that heavy losses had been inflicted on SFs. The Olai checkpoint has been established near Salala check-post, which was attacked by NATO/ISAF forces on November 26, 2011.

China has given rare details of what it says are the links between militant groups in its restive far western region of Xinjiang and neighbouring countries, most likely close ally Pakistan, as it unveiled a list of six wanted suspects, reports Dawn. The Ministry of Public Security published the names of the suspects, all apparently ethnic Uighurs, on its website (www.mps.gov.cn) late on April 5, along with their photographs and an outline of their alleged crimes. All six had spent time in what the ministry called “a certain south Asian country” – a likely reference to Pakistan – where they were trained to carry out terror attacks and incited militants in China to carry out suicide bombings and knife attacks. Some Chinese officials have blamed attacks on Muslim militants trained in Pakistan, though the Foreign Ministry has refrained from public criticism of the neighbour. Both Chinese and Pakistani officials have said that the militants based in western China have ties to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other militants in north-western Pakistani regions along the Afghanistan border. Officials in Kashgar, a city in south Xinjiang, said a stabbing attack there in July 2011 was orchestrated by members of the separatist East Turkestan Islamic Movement who trained in Pakistan before returning to China.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 10 claimed responsibility for the abduction of four members of a pro-government militia in Tank District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on March 25, reports The Express Tribune. The abducted men have been identified as Gul Muhammad, Mukhtiar, Abdul Wahab and Rehman. Speaking from an undisclosed location, the TTP ‘commander’ for North Waziristan Agency, Asmatullah Shaheen, said that the four men were abducted from Umer bus terminal. “We will kill them one by one if our demands are not met,” he threatened, without mentioning what the demands were. “We will not tell the media what the demands are, but they need to be met within a week.”

Hundreds of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants stormed a prison in Bannu town in Bannu District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on April 15 and freed nearly 400 inmates, including one on death row for trying to assassinate former President General Pervez Musharraf, reports Daily Times. “Between 1:30am and 2am, dozens of armed militants stormed the prison and attacked the facility from all sides with heavy weapons,” Bannu Prison Superintendent Zahid Khan said. Sources said the attack by around 200 militants was aimed at rescuing Adnan Rashid, a TTP militant who was convicted of an attack on Musharraf. TTP ‘spokesman’ Ehsanullah Ehsan claimed responsibility for the attack. “We attacked the Bannu prison and got our special members freed,” Ehsan told reporters on phone. “In a couple of days when all of them have reached their designated places we will issue details about them.

According to an April 18 intelligence agency’s report, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakeemullah Mehsud convened a meeting in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to plan targeted attacks in case of the expected resumption of NATO supplies, reports Express Tribune. An extract of the intelligence report states that Mehsud convened a meeting with several senior ‘commanders’ of TTP, Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda on an unspecified date of February 2012. The report adds that in case of the resumption of NATO supplies, the militants will show their anger through terrorist activities across the country, including targeting high-profile personalities. The report says possible targets not only include United States (US) diplomats and their bases in Pakistan, but also Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan and Maulana Fazlur Rehman of Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F).

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on April 20 said that they conducted the Bannu jailbreak operation to free Adnan Rasheed, the alleged mastermind of the assassination attempt on former President General Pervez Musharraf, reports The News. “Though there were some other high profile prisoners in the jail, our prime target was Adnan Rasheed and we are so happy to secure his release,” Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman for the TTP said. He said they had been working on the jailbreak plan for the past several months and were in touch with Adnan Rasheed and other prisoners in the jail. Adnan Rasheed belongs to Chota Lahore village in Swabi District and was serving in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) when he was apprehended by Pakistani security agencies for his alleged role in the attempt to assassinate General Musharraf. The TTP spokesman claimed that only 150 militants were involved in the attack on the jail. “Out of 150 people, only 50 took active part in the operation while the remaining100 were wearing explosives-laden jackets and were standing in different places outside the jail. We did not face any resistance as we had already made all possible arrangements for the jailbreak,” Ehsanullah said. He denied spending PKR 220 million on the jailbreak operation. “Do you believe we will pay someone? None can dare ask the Taliban to pay them,” he remarked. The Taliban spokesman claimed that they got 400 militants freed from the jail.
