SUBJECT: FATA AND NWFP:  WEEKLY INCIDENTS OF TALIBANIZATION, MAY 29 
JUNE 4 
 
REF: A) PESHAWAR 119 
 
CLASSIFIED BY: Lynne Tracy, Principal Officer, U.S. Consulate 
Peshawar, Department of State. 
REASON: 1.4 (d) 
Introduction 
- - - - - - - 
 
(C) Pakistan's security forces continued to gain ground in Swat, 
facing heavy resistance in Kabal, east of Mingora at the end of 
the reporting period.  Fighting also persisted in areas of Lower 
Dir and northern Buner.  Militants continued revenge attacks in 
Kohat, Shangla, Peshawar, Battagram, Mansehra, Mardan, Nowshera 
and South Waziristan.  Heavy security in Peshawar after the 
bombings of the previous reporting periods (refs B and D) 
restricted movements and stifled commerce, creating a bleak mood 
in the city; militant activity in and near Peshawar continued. 
 
2.      (SBU) Sporadic fighting continued in Mehsud areas of South 
Waziristan (SWA) and Frontier Region Tank, including a major 
militant assault on a Frontier Corps position in SWA on May 
30-31 and several other militant attacks.  Tribal militants 
kidnapped over 120 students of the Razmak Cadet College from 
Frontier Region Bannu, adjacent to North Waziristan, on June 1. 
Militants released all of the students by June 4, after pressure 
and threats from the government and tribal lashkars (ref A).  As 
sectarian tensions rose, law and order deteriorated in Dera 
Ismail Khan. 
 
3.      (C) Despite a sustained public relations drive by 
Pakistani government and military officials, many local 
residents and IDPs from Swat fear that the Taliban will regroup 
and return after the current military campaign ends.  Post's 
Swat contacts have expressed to us directly, and most newspaper 
reports have echoed, a mood of skepticism that the Pakistan Army 
is "serious" about crushing the Taliban.  These contacts cite 
the military's refusal to show journalists any of the dead 
fighters it announces killed each day; its overreliance on 
artillery bombardment, which makes for a good "show," but 
results primarily in collateral damage; the low number of 
claimed army casualties, which does not reflect the intense 
fighting claimed by the Army; and the fact that Maulana 
Fazlullah and his five key deputies have apparently escaped. 
While these observations may not accurately reflect the 
military's seriousness of intent, they highlight the difficulty 
it will face in regaining the confidence of Swatis once the 
operation has concluded. 
 
NWFP - Malakand Division 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
4. (SBU) The following incidents have occurred in the Malakand 
Division of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP), where the 
Pakistani government has been conducting combat operations since 
the last week of April.  Malakand Division includes the 
districts of Malakand, Lower Dir, Upper Dir, Chitral, Swat, 
Shangla, and Buner. 
 
May 29, Swat:  Militants injured five soldiers and two 
civilians, while the government claimed to kill 28 militants and 
arrest seven.  The Army announced that Peochar valley and 
Bahrain, in central Swat, were secured.  Jet fighters bombed 
near Shamozai, in lower Swat near the Malakand and Lower Dir 
district borders, while militants were moving nearby; four homes 
were destroyed and twenty civilians killed.  Director General of 
the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Athar 
Abbas stated that stolen U.S. weapons had entered into Pakistan 
from Afghanistan where they were being used against Pakistani 
security forces. 
 
May 29, Buner:  Jet fighters targeted the home of a Taliban 
commander near a militant stronghold in Darai Gokand.  Security 
forces claimed to defuse five improvised explosive devices 
(IEDs). 
 
May 29, Shangla:  Militants set-off a roadside bomb, injuring 
two minors.  An IED also exploded on the Alpuri-Besham road, 
frequently used by security forces as a supply route for 
Malakand operations, injuring one.  Security forces warned local 
elders of a military operation if they failed to expel militants 
 
PESHAWAR 00000135  002 OF 008 
 
 
from the area within three days.  Security forces killed a man. 
 
May 30, Swat:  Militants killed one soldier as the government 
claimed to kill 25 militants while announcing Mingora "fully 
under control."  The Army also asked residents to leave nearby 
Charbagh, in anticipation of fighting there. 
 
May 30, Buner:  Militants beheaded three residents of Pacha 
Kallay.  Security forces killed two unofficial "spokesmen" for 
militants in Sultanwas.  Interior Minister Rehman Malik 
announced it was safe for IDPs to return to Buner and Lower Dir. 
 
May 31, Swat:  Militants killed one officer and five security 
force personnel and injured six others as government forces 
entered Kalam valley, claiming to kill 12 militants in the 
fighting.  Militants also burned a government girls' school. 
Defense Secretary Syed Athar Ali announced the Swat operation 
would end in 2-3 days.  Media returned to Mingora, after a 
17-day curfew ended, reporting that the city was in ruins, 
lacking electricity, gas or phone service, with exposed corpses 
lying in the streets. 
 
May 31, Buner:  Militants killed a soldier with an IED.  The 
NWFP government ordered all public employees to return to duty 
and urged IDPs from Buner to return home. 
 
May 31, Shangla:  Militants blew up a police post near a 
rest-house in Yakh Tangi Top.  Security forces, using artillery, 
launched a security operation, killing three militants.  Reports 
indicate that power and telephone services are not functioning 
in the district. 
 
May 31, Lower Dir:  Security forces killed two terrorists at a 
checkpost. 
 
June 1, Swat:  Militants attacked a checkpost in Matta, injuring 
three soldiers.  Fighting raged in Charbagh, with the government 
claiming to kill 30 militants. 
 
June 1, Buner:  Militants continued to fight in the Pacha Killay 
area, with the DCO admitting that "Pir Baba, Gorkand and Karakar 
are still volatile."  The NWFP government fired 160 policemen 
for failing to return to duty as ordered. 
 
June 1, Upper Dir:  Police arrested seven suspected militants, 
said to be from Peochar valley in Swat, in an IDP camp in Wari. 
 
June 2, Swat:  Militants killed three soldiers as security 
forces faced stiff resistance in Charbagh, claiming to kill 32 
militants and arrest 18. 
 
June 3, Swat:  Militants killed one soldier in Matta and injured 
two as security forces consolidated their positions near Kalam 
and established two new checkposts near Bahrain.  Militants only 
reached 15 percent of their original FM broadcast coverage, 
according to the military.  Army leaders encouraged the 
government to adopt new policing strategies in Swat, 
recommending the government abolish its practice of enrolling 
100 percent of its police from the local district, thereby 
reducing the tendency of local polices to surrender so easily. 
 
June 3, Buner:  Security forces launched an operation to 
establish control over Pir Baba and Bhai Killay. 
 
June 3, Lower Dir:  Security forces launched a new operation to 
secure the area from Gulabad to Shewa and from Kithiari to 
Asband.  Security forces set up three new checkposts and shifted 
artillery, tanks and other equipment there. 
 
June 4, Swat:  Militants killed one soldier and injured two as 
security forces targeted insurgent positions in Kabal, a town in 
Swat yet to be cleared of Taliban.  Militants also injured two 
soldiers near Malam Jabba. 
 
June 4, Buner:  Militants blew up a government school and two 
houses of military officials after security forces accelerated 
 
PESHAWAR 00000135  003 OF 008 
 
 
attacks in the upper parts of the district, destroying six 
militant hideouts, and taking control of the main road from 
Daggar to Pir Baba. 
 
June 4, Shangla:  Security forces shot at militants fleeing from 
a checkpost, killing six and capturing four. 
 
June 4, Lower Dir:  Militants attacked security forces in Lal 
Qila, but were repulsed; one soldier and an unknown number of 
militants were killed. 
 
June 4, Malakand:  Law enforcement agencies arrested three key 
deputies of Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief 
Maulana Sufi Muhammad at Bilal Mosque in Amandara.  (Note. 
Militants later killed two of the TNSM clerics on June 6 in an 
attack launched as police escorted them to Peshawar.  End note.) 
 
 
NWFP - Hazara Division 
- - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
5. (SBU) The following incidents have occurred in the Hazara 
Division of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) according to 
press and consulate contacts.  Hazara Division includes the 
districts of Kohistan, Mansehra, Battagram, Abbottabad, and 
Haripur. 
 
May 29, Abbottabad:  A jirga of five tribes agreed to help the 
government stop infiltration of militants into the area. 
 
June 2, Battagram:  Militants planted two bombs on a bridge near 
the Forest checkpost on Karakoram Highway, causing some damage. 
 
June 2, Haripur:  Police announced that, working with tip-offs 
from locals, they had successfully discovered and dismantled 20 
militant hideouts and arrested several suspects.  They did not 
specify the time period in which this had taken place. 
 
June 3, Mansehra:  A bomb exploded in the Shinkiari area, 
damaging three shops, two houses, and a vehicle. 
 
June 3, Kohistan:  A jirga of elders from several tribes formed 
two lashkars to resist militant infiltration, one of which would 
guard Kohistan's border with Swat and the other of which would 
guard a Chinese-built dam project under construction. 
 
June 4, Abbottabad:  Militants kidnapped a Swat tehsil nazim 
(mayor) at gunpoint.  (Militants also kidnapped the nazim's 
brother, in a separate incident, in Islamabad.) 
 
NWFP - Mardan Division 
- - - - - - - - - - - - 
 
6. (SBU) The following incidents have occurred in the Mardan 
Division of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) according to 
press and consulate contacts.  Mardan Division includes the 
districts of Mardan and Swabi. 
 
May 29, Mardan:  Police claimed to have arrested 39 suspected 
militants, who had cut their hair, shaved their beards, and 
hidden among IDPs in various camps.  Police did not specify the 
time period over which the militants had been arrested. 
 
May 30, Mardan:  A man seriously injured in an exchange of fire 
between militants and security forces died in Mardan Medical 
Complex. 
 
June 1, Mardan:  Deputy Police Inspector-General Akhtar Ali Shah 
reported that smuggling and stockpiling of arms and ammunition 
has been increasing steadily in NWFP's second biggest city. 
 
June 4, Mardan:  Militants set off a roadside remote-controlled
