The injured include 12 women and four children.” Rasheed said the bomber was carrying some 300 kilograms of explosives in his vehicle, adding that the blast caused 13 houses and shops to collapse. Police spokesman Fazal Naeem confirmed the attack and casualties, further adding that “the blast created a 10-foot deep and 15-foot wide crater.”

Former President Pervez Musharraf was aware that the Tehreek-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was plotting to kill former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, but he did not pass on the information to the authorities concerned, reported Times of India quoting the report of a team probing the 2007 assassination. The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) found that Musharraf knew that then TTP ‘chief’ Baitullah Mehsud was plotting the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, but withheld the information. The challan submitted by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Rawalpindi's Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) contained 12 charges against Musharraf. His name was added to the list of accused in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case following a statement of former Rawalpindi City Police Officer Saud Aziz, who claimed that Musharraf had given the order to change Benazir's security in-charge and the murder scene was immediately washed on Musharraf's orders. FIA, in its challan, said, "Based on motive, circumstantial evidence and statements, it is prima facie established that Musharraf is equally responsible for facilitation and abetment of assassinating Benazir Bhutto through his Government's unjustified failure in providing her the requisite security protection her status deserved as twice Prime Minister."

Leiter said LeT's previous attacks in Kashmir and India have had a destabilising effect on the region, increasing tension and brinkmanship between New Delhi and Islamabad. LeT, which has a well documented relationship with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), has been involved in some of the major terrorist attacks in India, including the Mumbai terrorist attack, the attack on the Indian Parliament (December 13, 2001) and Akshardham Temple. “We are concerned that it is increasing its operational role in attacks against coalition forces in Afghanistan,” he said. Besides LeT, the US is also focused on other outfits like al Qaeda, Taliban, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Haqqani network.

A former Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) official, Sultan Ameer Tarar alias Colonel Imam, who was reported to have been killed by militants who abducted him on March 26, 2010, is alive and in the custody of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Times of India quoting a media report reported on February 15. The militants have demanded PKR 50 million and the release of some of their jailed militants in return for Colonel Imam’s freedom, adds Express Tribune. It is reported that the militants are not executing Colonel Imam because of his close links with Afghan Taliban ‘chief’ Mullah Omar. Colonel Imam, along with another former ISI official Squadron Leader Khawaja Khalid and British journalist Asad Qureshi, was captured by TTP while travelling in the NWA on March 26, 2010, on the suspicion of spying for American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to guide drone attacks in the region. Qureshi was released in September 2010 after paying a ransom of PKR 20 million, while Khawaja was executed by his captors.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent Raymond Davis, the alleged killer of two Pakistanis in Lahore, had close links with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Express Tribune quoting The New York Times reported on February 21. The New York Times report said that Davis “was part of a covert, CIA-led team of operatives conducting surveillance on militant groups deep inside the country, according to American Government officials.” This contradicts the United States (US) claim that Davis was a member of the ‘technical and administrative staff’ of its diplomatic mission in Pakistan. Davis was arrested on January 27 after allegedly shooting dead two young motorcyclists at a crowded bus stop in the Lahore District of Punjab. A senior official in the Punjab Police claimed, “His (Davis) close ties with the TTP were revealed during the investigations”. “Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban to fuel the bloody insurgency.” Call records of the cell phones recovered from Davis have established his links with 33 Pakistanis, including 27 militants from the TTP and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) sectarian outfit.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) drones killed at least 581 terrorists in Pakistan in 2010, but only two were noteworthy enough to appear on a US list of most-wanted terrorists, Daily Times quoting The Washington Post reported February 21. The Washington Post reported that the CIA carried out a record 118 drone strikes over the last year, costing more than USD one million apiece. The CIA is increasingly killing “mere foot soldiers”, a senior Pakistani official said, adding that the issue has come up in discussions in Washington involving President Asif Ali Zardari. A Washington think-tank, New America Foundation, reported that US drone strikes soared from 33 in 2008 to 118 in 2010. The increase cost US taxpayers USD 118 million and managed to kill 581 militants. The New America Foundation, however, concluded that 12 “militant leaders” were killed by drone strikes in 2010, compared with 10 in 2008. “Even so, the data suggest that the ratio of senior terrorism suspects being killed is declining at a substantial rate” while the number of strikes multiplied, The Washington Post observed. Even by the Foundation’s more generous estimates, the newspaper noted, the CIA’s drone campaign, covertly authorised by Islamabad, hit foot-soldier types 94 per cent of the time. Meanwhile, former President Pervez Musharraf had cut a secret deal with the US in 2006, allowing clandestine CIA operations in his country. This was done to make the Americans believe that Islamabad was not secretly helping the Taliban insurgents. Under the agreement, the CIA was allowed to acquire the services of private security firms, including Blackwater (Xe Worldwide) and DynCorp to conduct surveillance on the Taliban and al Qaeda. Quoting New York Times, Express Tribune states that even before his arrest, Davis’s CIA affiliation was known to Pakistani authorities. It added that his visa, presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in late 2009, describes his job as a “regional affairs officer,” a common job description for officials working with the agency. “Davis’s job was to trail links of the Taliban and al Qaeda in different parts of Pakistan. But, instead, investigators found that he had developed close links with the TTP,” added a source. The pressure on the Pakistan Government to release Davis has been steadily intensifying. There have been a flurry of private phone calls to Pakistan from Leon E Panetta, the CIA director, and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all intended to persuade the Pakistanis to release the secret operative.

Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik on February 23 informed the National Assembly (NA) that a new strategy was being evolved to tackle the issue of terrorism in a more effective manner, Daily Times. Under the new mechanism, which would be introduced within a few days, there would be a proper check on foreign scholarships offered to students here, visits of Pakistani artists to other countries and particulars of representatives of foreign companies and non-governmental organisations operating in Pakistan, he said while speaking on floor of the House. It would be mandatory for all foreign companies operating in Pakistan to submit an affidavit containing details of their employees and activities, he added. He said that all these security measures are to be made legitimate and the ministry would start implementing them within a week. Malik said that the leaders of banned organisations, like Ayman al-Zawahiri of Ikhwan-Ul-Muslimeen in Egypt, are fighting in this region, adding that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) are also involved in terrorist activities in the region, and when he warned them, they fixed PKR 500 million as his head money. He also informed the House that five terrorists, including Brahmdagh Bugti, grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti, have been trained in Afghanistan to carry out terrorist activities in Pakistan, adding, “We would continue aggressive action against terrorists to establish peace in the country”.
