A Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Asim Mehsud on May 1 said that “we will continue to carry out attacks such as the one in Bannu,” while denying reports that escaped prisoners were handed over under any truce with the Government. Asim denied reports published in a Peshawar (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) based Urdu daily which stated that the TTP had decided to hand over the escaped prisoners to the Government as their sole aim was to release Adnan Rashid. “There were no talks between the government and the TTP for the release of the prisoners, neither any plans to hand them back to the government,” Asim said. Commenting on the condition of the escaped prisoners, the TTP spokesperson said that all prisoners had reached safe locations. As reported earlier, the TTP militants had attacked the Bannu jail on April 15, 2012.

In addition, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement emailed to The Express Tribune. TTP spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan said that their targets were Levies officials Subedar Major Javed Khan and Subedar Quarter Master Fazl Rabi. Fazal Rabi, according to Ehsan, was honoured with a ‘presidential award’ (Tamgha-e-Shujaat or medal of bravery) for killing several TTP militants. “While (Subedar) Major Javed was involved in the killing of Shaikh Marwan,” he said. Shaikh Marwan was an Arab militant ‘commander’ who was killed by Levies personnel before the 2008 military operation in Bajaur Agency. The TTP ‘spokesperson’ Ehsanullah Ehsan further said that the group knew all those involved in ‘activity’ against the Taliban, and warned that such people “will be treated with iron hands”.

16 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, belonging to different tribes, including Masoodzai, Ali Sher, Afridi and Manttak (Orakzai), surrendered to the Government authorities in Kurram Agency, reports Daily Times. The militants gave up their weapons before the political administration in presence of the media in Parachinar, the headquarters of the region. “We have shunned all [militant] activities and ready to stand with our people and Law Enforcement Agencies,” a militant was quoted as saying. “We want to start our new life because we were compelled to cooperate with TTP militants when they started their activities in Kurram Agency. Now we have realised that they are killing our own people and not waging a jihad... rather it is bloodshed of the innocent people.” The former militants told the media that they had witnessed foreign fighters working side-by-side under four commanders, Abdullah, Muhammad Rasham, Walid and Rafiqullah. They disclosed that foreign militants, including Chechens and Uzbeks, had presence in the central parts of the troubled area.

39 persons were killed in two days of clashes between Security Forces (SFs) and militants in Miranshah area of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Dawn. Officials said 12 SF personnel, 10 civilians, including women and children, and 17 militants were killed. The officials said 72 persons were injured, adding that casualty figure could go up because some persons were still trapped under the debris of houses flattened by flying shells from explosions in arms and ammunition stores hit by helicopter gunships. Most of the militants were killed in an artillery attack on a compound. They were militants of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) comprising both Punjabi and Mehsud fighters.

The under-construction mausoleum of famous poet and politician Ajmal Khan Khattak in Akora Khattak area of Nowshera District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was blown up in the night of May 9 and another explosion an hour later injured 12 persons who had gathered at the place, reports Dawn. Khattak, a former president of the Awami National Party (ANP), died in February 2010. Police said it was widely believed that the explosion was the handiwork of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) who had earlier blown up shrines and mosques. According to the bomb disposal squad, about 5 kilogrammes of explosives were used. Police said three persons tied the watchman Ashrafuddin with a rope, placed the explosives near the mausoleum and blew them up.

The University of Peshawar has beefed up security after the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Masud Kausar directed it to protect professors who received threatening letters from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Mujeeb ur Rehman of the English Department and Sarfraz Khan of the area studies centre received death threats from the TTP on May 1 because of reports that controversial writer Salman Rushdie’s novels would be included in college curricula, campus police officer Abdus Salam Khalid told Central Asia Online May 16. Both professors wrote to KP Governor Masud Kausar, who is also chancellor of the university and to the home secretary requesting protection, he said. “We have issued directives to all the 12 checkpoints at the university to carry out stringent checking of the vehicles and the pedestrians and keep vigil on suspected people,” Khalid added. More Policemen were assigned to the check post near Professor Colony to keep out villagers from nearby Nasirbagh and Malkhandher, he said.
