A Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader, Zia-ur-Rahman, was arrested in Islamabad on July 3, reports Times of India. However, there is uncertainty over the exact identity of the TTP leader. Conflicting reports in Pakistan's local media suggested the arrested leader is in-charge of the intelligence network of TTP. He is being questioned for his activities, said one report while adding there is no official word on the arrest. The name of the arrested leader has created confusion as there is another senior TTP leader with the name of Qari Zia-ur-Rahman, who moved to Afghanistan in the wake of major military operation in Bajaur Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in 2008-2009 and is now leading militants in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.

Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency said on July 3 that a senior commander from the Tehreek-e- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sold a suicide bomber named Sher Hassan to Afghanistan’s Haqqani Network, to carry out an attack on a local commander in Eastern Afghanistan, reported Daily Times. The National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan’s Intelligence Agency, said the bomber was a Pakistani national and was detained by NDS agents in Jaji Maidan District of eastern Paktia province before he could carry out his mission. Hassan confessed that he was bought by the Haqqani Network to target “Azizullah”, a commander whose affiliation and rank were not given by the NDS. Hassan then spent a month after his sale training with the Haqqani Network. The detained suicide bomber added that a commander under TTP leader Hakimullah Mehsud sells suicide bombers at PNR 6,000,000 to PNR 8,000,000 ($70,000 to $93,000), to the Haqqani Network for suicide missions.

Canada on July 5 designated the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as a terrorist organisation, reports Dawn. Putting the TTP on the terrorism blacklist is “an essential part of our efforts to combat terrorism and keep our communities safe,” said Vic Toews, Canada’s minister of public safety. He noted the group has claimed responsibility for “multiple” suicide attacks in Pakistan, as well as a May 2010 bombing attempt of New York’s Times Square. The TTP became the 43rd group on Canada’s blacklist, which includes al Qaeda, Colombia’s leftist FARC rebels and Hamas, the Palestinian rulers of the Gaza Strip. The move means that people in Canada and Canadians abroad are prohibited from “knowingly dealing with assets owned or controlled by the TTP” and that it will now be an offence to “knowingly participate in, contribute to or facilitate certain activities of” the outfit.

Chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Hakimullah Mehsud has been in isolation for more than a year and is rapidly losing control over the terror group he once led with absolute command and authority, The Express Tribune quoting his associates and intelligence officials reported on July 5. Insiders of the TTP outfit and intelligence officials in Islamabad told The Express Tribune that Hakimullah might soon be faced with more rebels from within the TTP after last week’s defection by one of his top commanders. Fazal Saeed Haqqani, who was appointed by Hakimullah for the strategic Kurram Agency, announced to separate his group of more than 1,000 fighters from the main outfit in what appeared to be the first serious fracture for the TTP. The defection took place within days after unknown attackers killed a spokesperson for the TTP’s Fidayeen-e-Islam group – the suicide bombing squad. The killing of Shakirullah Shakir, a key figure of the TTP, in Mirali town of North Waziristan has raised questions over how influential Hakimullah still is in the region.

One of Pakistan’s most notorious Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) radio voices, Maulvi Faqir Muhammed, is back on the air after the Army raided his stronghold in 2010 and drove him across the border into Afghanistan, reports Daily Times. Terrorists and their supporters in Pakistan have long used illegal FM radio stations to spread their message and incite violence against the Government. Muhammed was one of the most prominent militant radio personalities before the Army invaded his enclave in 2010 in the Bajaur Agency (FATA), about 200 kilometres northwest of Islamabad. Many of the terrorists in Bajaur, including Muhammed, simply slipped across the border into the Kunar province, an area of Afghanistan where the US has largely withdrawn its troops.

Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on July 8 said that intelligence reports have identified presence of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Kati Pahari and other areas of Karachi, reports Daily Times. “Intelligence agencies have identified presence of the Taliban in Karachi and the Government is working on it,” Malik said. He added that in order to bring the security situation under control, a new strategy had been evolved under which some “grey” areas of Karachi would be handed over to the Rangers and some to Police. “About 250 officials of the Frontier Corps (FC) have also been called in to assist Police and Rangers,” he said, adding, “We have started targeted actions in the troubled localities. We want to secure every street.” The minister said that 1,000 more paramilitary troops would be deployed to control the situation and if required, additional forces would also be called in from other Provinces. He said the Rangers had been given a ‘free hand’ to conduct raids and operations. “They have been asked to go for encounters when necessary to stop the killings of innocent people,” he further added. Malik also said that presence of intelligence officials has also been stepped up three times to get authentic information against miscreants. He further said that at least 80 people had been killed in the violence since July 5 while the number of injured was over 100. He said that some 173 suspects had been arrested while two alleged assailants had been shot dead. He also claimed that Security Forces had gained control of two terrorist check posts at Kati Pahari. Malik presented details of the raids taking place in various areas, adding that the Baldia Town and Katti Pahari areas were the worst hit by violence, adds Tribune. Malik disclosed that 89 suspects have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the target killings. Out of those arrested, 12 suspects are Urdu-speaking, 19 are Pathan and three are Baloch. He did not specify the ethnic backgrounds of the remaining suspects. He also said that the dead include very few politically-affiliated activists. The minister added that in some places where security forces entered to apprehend the criminal elements, children and elderly residents had been used by them as human shields. He added that security officials have ensured that no civilian lives are lost during the raids. “There is someone who is trying to de stabilise Pakistan,” the minister said, adding, that the terrorists target Karachi as it is the hub of economic activity, and that “enemies are targeting it because it is of strategic importance.”

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leadership in North Waziristan Agency denied their hand in July 5 bomb attack on a SFs convoy in Miranshah, adding that the US agents, not the TTP militants, had attacked the military personnel to achieve their own objectives. The TTP Shura (council) met at an undisclosed location. A one-page statement released after the meeting, which was presided over by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, said: “Mujahideen Shura of the North Waziristan gives last warning to those elements who carried out the improvised explosive device attack and opened fire from main bazaar a few days ago. If these people don’t stop their activities then action will be taken against them.” Three security personnel were killed and 14 others injured in the incident.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik who initially pointed figures at the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) for raging violence in Karachi, has now blamed "wives and girlfriends" for 70 per cent of the killings in the city. Malik told reporters during an interaction in Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan, that more people had been killed by those who wanted to get rid of their wives, girlfriends and boyfriends than those responsible for "target killings" in Karachi.

The Inter-Services Public Relations Director General (DG) Major General Athar Abbas on July 14 said that there are terrorist safe havens inside Afghanistan, reports Dawn. In an interview with a British media group, he said terrorists from Swat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had found Kunar and Nuristan in Afghanistan to be safe havens and from there they launched cross-border attacks inside Pakistan. General Abbas said militants and their leaders – Fazalullah, Faqir Muhammad, Abdul Wali and Hakimullah – had hideouts in these areas, adding that when NATO was pulling out its troops from the areas, Pakistan had conveyed its well-founded concerns. Commenting on a video showing the killing of 27 troops in a Dir village on June 1, the ISPR chief said the incident was being investigated to trace the culprits. He said 50 to 60 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Swat chapter militants crossed over into Pakistan and killed the Pakistani troops in an attack on their checkpost. He said the militants were led by Hafeezullah alias Kotchwan, Miftahuddin alias Shabbar and three other ‘commanders’ from Toormila.

Pamphlets describing former ‘vice-chief’ of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Maulvi Faqir Mohammad as agent of anti-Pakistan forces were distributed among peace committees of Bajaur and Mohmand Agencies. The pamphlets in Urdu and Pashto on separate papers carry the title “public notice” and read: “Maulvi Faqir Mohammad is a notorious and immoral bargainer of conscience by character. He is enemy of humanity and playing in hands of those powers who want to destroy our motherland. The number one in these anti-Pakistan forces is RAW of India.” The pamphlet further said, “Maulvi Faqir Mohammad had joined hands with the forces working against the interests of Pakistan. The people, who are patriotic sons of this soil and took oath of defending the motherland, should line up against the forces represented by Maulvi Faqir.”

The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials knew about a meeting between al Qaeda ‘leader’ Ayman al-Zawahiri and slain Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ‘head’ Baitullah Mehsud in 2008 but then "lost" track of the terror mastermind, Times of India reported on July 19 quoting a media report. The meeting, which reportedly took place during the first half of 2008, might have been a precursor to the CIA's drone attacks against Mehsud, which ultimately killed him in August 2009. Officials looking after domestic counter-terrorism efforts said ISI had informed CIA about the interaction between the two terrorist leaders. It was not precisely known whether the meeting took place in South Waziristan Agency, which was completely controlled by the TTP in 2008, or somewhere in Afghanistan.

Indian Express on July 28 reported that America's counterterrorism officials believe that al Qaeda is on the brink of collapse. “United States (US) counterterrorism officials are increasingly convinced that the killing of Osama bin Laden on May1 and the toll of seven years of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) drone strikes have pushed al Qaeda to the brink of collapse,” said US officials. US officials said that even its demise would not end the terrorist threat, which is increasingly driven by radicalised individuals as well as aggressive affiliates. Officials said that al Qaeda's offshoot in Yemen is now seen as a greater counter terrorism challenge than the organisation's traditional base. Officials also pointed to the cumulative effect of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan. “Missiles fired by the unmanned aircraft have killed at least 1,200 militants since 2004, including 224 this year, according to figures compiled by the New America Foundation (NAF). Many of the strikes have been aimed at al Qaeda allies also accused of attacking American targets; those allies include the Haqqani Network and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan,” the sources said.
