Suspected militants targeted music shops with explosive devices on May 4, damaging around 20 outlets in two different places in North West Frontier Province (NWFP), according to Daily Times. However, no loss of life or injuries was reported. The first explosion occurred in Tangi and damaged nine shops. A few hours later, a second explosion occurred in Charsadda, damaging at least 11 shops. Police managed to foil a third blast in Koroona Station. No group has claimed responsibility for the two blasts but letters from suspected Taliban have warned local shopkeepers against continuing their businesses.

The local Taliban on May 7 imposed a ban on the sale of CDs and cassettes and music in buses and passenger coaches in North Waziristan, according to Dawn. The Shoora (executive council) of the Taliban also ordered owners of music and video shops in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, to close their businesses immediately. Armed volunteers reportedly raided music centres and CD shops in the town and asked the shopkeepers to stop playing music. Eyewitnesses said the militants stopped passenger vehicles on the Miranshah-Mirali road and removed cassette and CD players. Locals said that the Taliban militants, who virtually control the region, also asked people not to play or listen to music at public places, including Miranshah Bazaar. Their announcement said that anybody violating the order would have to face ‘consequences’.

Pakistan has increased the number of its troops deployed along the Afghan border to 90,000 to make it more difficult for the Taliban and al Qaeda militants to cross, Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri said on May 8, The News reported. However, he provided no details of when the troop increase occurred or where exactly the troops were deployed. Kasuri announced the increase after talks with the NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer on the intensifying violence in Afghanistan. Kasuri also said Pakistan had increased the number of military posts along the frontier from 100 to 110, and challenged Afghanistan to show the same resolve to close the frontier. "This is the level of Pakistan's commitment," Kasuri claimed at a press conference in Islamabad.

The pro-Taliban Lal Masjid (Red mosque) in Islamabad on May 18 took four police personnel hostage, accusing them of spying for the government, according to Dawn. Later in the night, police registered an FIR against the two Lal Masjid clerics and 72 of their followers, citing terrorism and other charges. Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao and senior security officials reportedly held a meeting with the clerics on May 18-night and put all security agencies on high alert. But the talks, conducted by Magistrate Farasat Ali and Assistant Superintendent of Police Kamran Adil, broke down when Maulana Abdul Aziz and his brother Maulana Abdul Rasheed Ghazi refused to wait until May 19-morning for the release of 11 of their colleagues earlier detained by security agencies.

President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview with The Globe and Mail that talks with the Taliban and other opposition may be necessary to bring stability to Afghanistan, according to Daily Times. "We have to have a multipronged strategy. In Afghanistan it is only the military strategy which is working now," Gen. Musharraf said, adding that peace could not come from the barrel of a gun. "[The] political element is the negotiations between warring factions. Who are the warring factions? Warring factions are the Afghan government and the coalition forces on one side and the militant Taliban and even non-Taliban... so some form of negotiations between these two." He opined, "Maybe, there are groups who want to give up militancy and negotiate ... so I can’t lay down whether you negotiate with the Taliban, but [if] they want to go on fighting, you don’t negotiate with them, take a military angle. You negotiate, you develop contacts with people who are not for fighting." He claimed Pakistani intelligence agencies played no role in the creation of the Taliban, although he acknowledged that Pakistan gave the extremists legitimacy by being among the only countries to establish diplomatic relations when Taliban took over the government of Afghanistan. "I know for sure – 200 percent – that they were not a creation of Pakistan. They were a creation of circumstances in Afghanistan," he said. Gen. Musharraf claimed that Pakistan was the only country that had a military, political, developmental and administrative strategy to defeat extremism. "I would tell everyone: Come and learn from us. We are sitting here knowing exactly what is happening on ground," he said. "You sitting in the West don’t know anything. So, don’t teach me, come and learn from us. Come and understand the environment. And then decide on what has to be done and what doesn’t have to be done. We are doing more than any other country in the world." Commenting on casualties in the war on terror, President Musharraf said: "Unfortunately the people in the West think that their lives are more important than our lives ... they think the gun fodder should be from these countries like Pakistan and developing countries. If their soldiers, one soldier, dies, there is a problem, but 500 of ours have died. And then, yet they are blaming us. Isn’t 500 important? ... And yet Pakistan is blamed for not doing enough."

The pro-Taliban Lal Masjid (Red mosque) students on May 24 freed the two police personnel abducted on May 18, following the release of several of their colleagues as a result of ‘back channel’ negotiations between clerics of the mosque and the local administration, according to Dawn. Spokesperson of the interior ministry, Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, however, claimed that the two personnel of Islamabad Police — Assistant Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb and constable Jehangir — were released ‘unconditionally’. “They have not been released on a reciprocal basis,” he claimed. Lal Masjid students on May 18 held hostage four police personnel, Assistant Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb, constables Yasir Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed and Raja Jahangir, accusing them of spying for the government. Two of them were released on May 20. Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi, deputy in-charge of Lal Masjid, said the government had not released those whose list had been provided to the local administration, including three students and former Inter-Services Intelligence official Khalid Khawaja booked for allegedly burning audio/video CDs in the Barakhau residential area in April 2007. He said that the policemen had been freed on the request of their family members who visited the mosque on May 23.

The pro-Taliban Lal Masjid (Red mosque) administration on May 25 announced that its students would attack audio and video shops, massage centres and brothels in Islamabad if their owners did not wind up their businesses immediately, according to Dawn. "Our students can attack these outlets anytime because the deadline given to their owners had already passed," Lal Masjid cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz said in his Friday sermon. The deadline reportedly ended in April and the owners fear attacks from the mosque brigade anytime. The owner of a CD shop in Abpara market told Dawn that a group of 40 to 50 baton-wielding people, some of them covering their faces, had visited different markets two months ago and asked owners of CD, audio and video shops to switch over to other business.

Militants have warned music and video shops, as well as clandestine hashish and alcohol outlets, at Dara Adamkhel in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) to close their business, according to Dawn. “The Taliban have set July 1 as a deadline to abandon all ‘un-Islamic’ business in the area,” local resident Murtaza Khan said. The threat came in pamphlets distributed in the town. The pamphlets also warned shopkeepers to stop downloading songs as mobile telephone ring tones. “All the music shops in this area are closing now,” shopkeeper Jan Alam told AFP.

Four local Taliban militants were killed in a clash with police in the Bannu district of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on May 28, reports Dawn. Two police personnel and civilian were injured in the encounter, officials said. The District Police Officer (DPO) Mazherul Haq told a press briefing that police on a tip-off about the entry of militants from the Sokery area into the city for sabotage activities encircled the area and signalled a suspected double cabin pick-up truck to stop, adding, that the militants, instead of stopping the vehicle, opened fire on the police, injuring three persons. Police in retaliation killed four militants belonging to the Hayat group who had been patronising local Taliban militants in the district. The militants killed in the attack have been identified as Bahadur Khan, Abid, Muhammad Rehman and Amir Hayat.

The Interior Ministry’s National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) has reportedly warned three federal ministers that they are on the hit list of Baitullah Mehsud, the South Waziristan-based Taliban leader, and should take extra security measures. Sources told Daily Times in Islamabad on May 30 that Baitullah Mehsud was running the biggest suicide training camp in the country and planned to assassinate Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao, Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad and Minister for Political Affairs Amir Muqam. Mehsud is believed to have been behind the suicide attack on Sherpao on April 28, the sources said. The NCMC has formally informed Ahmad and Muqam of the intelligence reports warning of serious threats against them. "Yes I have received a letter from the Interior Ministry showing concern over my security," Ahmad confirmed. NCMC Director General Brig. (r) Javed Iqbal Cheema in his letters to both ministers said that the group that tried to kill Sherpao at Charsadda might attack them with car bombs, said the sources.
