TAGS: PTER MOPS PGOV PK
SUBJECT: FATA AND NWFP: BI-WEEKLY INCIDENTS OF TALIBANIZATION: 
SEPTEMBER 1-15 
 
REF: A) PESHAWAR 449, B) PESHAWAR 447 
 
CLASSIFIED BY: Michael Via, Acting Principal Officer, U.S. 
Consulate Peshawar, Department of State. 
REASON: 1.4 (a), (b), (d) 
Introduction: 
------------- 
 
1. (C) On September 6, Peshawar suffered its deadliest suicide 
bombing in over a year when forty people were killed, including 
eight policemen, 15 km south of Peshawar (ref. B).   Security 
forces focused their most intense military efforts in Bajaur 
during the first two weeks of September, as operations continued 
in Swat and Darra Adam Khel.  Militant violence also spread into 
Upper and Lower Dir.  In Swat, security forces continued to 
attack militant positions while militants targeted local 
political leaders and their families.  Limited military actions 
against militant strongholds in Darra Adam Khel continued after 
commencing on August 29.  The Kohat Tunnel and portions of the 
Indus Highway remained closed, cutting off the southern 
districts from Peshawar. 
 
2. (C) Locals fled from violence in Swat, Kurram and Darra Adam 
Khel, as the Bajaur IDPs began their tentative return.  In 
settled areas and FATA, grassroots movements to repel the 
militants continued to emerge during the first two weeks of 
September.  In Bajaur, the Salarzai tribe appeared to hold 
ground against the militants.  North-West Frontier Province 
(NWFP) Governor Owais Ghani cited the example of other lashkars 
(volunteer militias) set up by locals in Dir, Bajaur and Mardan 
as models of how to combat militants in the area.  Similar 
lashkars were also formed in Hangu, Kohat, and by the Wazir 
tribe in South Waziristan.  Peace committees in Charsadda and 
Lakki Marwat began joint patrols with the police, as the Awami 
National Party (ANP) announced that it would support the 
creation of peace committees in villages in order to support the 
police. 
 
Swat: Operation Rah-e-Haq-II Grinds On 
-------------------------------------- 
 
3. (C) According to ODRP, on August 30, the Pakistan Army 
stepped up military operations in Swat, employing two infantry 
brigades and three wings of the Frontier Corps.  The Swat 
operation focused on Kabal and Matta tehsils, where Maulana 
Fazlullah's militant supporters had established strongholds, but 
was also intended to clear the Peochar Valley, where militants 
often retreat.  Pakistan Army sources claim that they have 
forced militants to vacate most of the settled areas.  Pakistan 
Military sources stated that almost 200 militants had been 
killed.  Militants made the termination of their fighting 
contingent on enforcement of Shari'a law in neighboring 
Malakand.  Swat remained under a constant curfew, with a growing 
humanitarian problem as shortages of essential food items and 
medicines became more prevalent.  The following is a timeline of 
significant events according to local press and post contacts 
between September 1 and 15: 
 
September 1: Militants beheaded a man on a charge of spying. 
 
September 2: Gunmen killed a policeman in Mingora.  Militants 
destroyed a market owned by an Awami National Party (ANP) leader 
in Matta. 
 
September 5: Nine locals were killed when they tried to protect 
themselves against the militants. 
 
September 7: Militants attempted to kidnap a local leader in 
Matta, leading to a fire fight with villagers in which 24 people 
were killed. 
 
September 7: Militants freed 35 locals after a short truce in 
Swat.  Five more militants were killed in Swat violence. 
Militants released 13 locals after ceasefire.  Militants 
attacked an army base camp in Swat. 
 
September 7: Militants sought the release of their fellow 
militants in exchange for releasing the Chinese engineers who 
had been kidnapped in late August in Dir. 
 
PESHAWAR 00000468  002 OF 008 
 
 
 
September 11: Gunmen shot dead a police constable and his 
daughter.  Militants blew up a telephone exchange and several 
houses in Kabal. 
 
September 13: Gunmen killed an ANP activist, and militants 
claimed they would end hostilities if the government enforced 
Shari'a law in neighboring Malakand district. 
 
September 14: Ceasefire efforts were underway in Swat, but the 
truce talks eventually failed. 
 
September 15: Some press reports alleged that Swat militants 
were getting arms from the Afghan army. 
 
September 15: Militants freed 25 security personnel who had 
previously been kidnapped. 
 
Bajaur: Military Presses On, But Displaced Families Stay Away 
--------------------------------------------- ---------------- 
 
4.  (C) On September 9, the Pakistan Army introduced an 
additional brigade of ground troops.  Although GOP claimed to 
kill over 250 militants during this reporting period, consulate 
contacts related that most locals did not believe the actual 
figures are lower.  Security force casualties were reported as 
14.  In one instance, security forces struck militants who had 
fled into Mohmand agency.  The following is a timeline of 
significant events according to local press and post contacts 
through September 15: 
 
September 7: Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, leader of the 
Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) in Bajaur, appeared in a Khar suburb to 
announce he had not been killed and vowed to continue "jihad" 
against America. 
 
September 11: Militants killed three pro-government tribesmen, 
accusing the victims of spying. 
 
September 15: Militants freed 25 security forces they had 
kidnapped in July after they stormed a checkpoint in Kabal.  A 
militant spokesman said the security men were freed as a 
goodwill gesture in negotiation between elders and government 
officials. 
 
September 15: According to national press reports, more than 
100,000 IDPs from Bajaur arrived in Rawalpindi. 
 
Kurram: Fewer Deaths but Violence Continues 
------------------------------------------- 
 
5. (C) While the number of killings decreased from the surge in 
August, daily violence in Kurram between the Shi'a Turi tribe 
and the Sunni Bangash tribe continued despite the declaration of 
a ceasefire on September 1.  The death toll in the first two 
weeks of September was approximately 85, although negotiations 
by the end of the reporting period began to reduce the violence. 
 The following is a timeline of significant events according to 
local press and post contacts through September 15: 
 
September 1: The Turi fighters claimed to take control of 
Baghzai, located across the Kurram River from Alizai. It was the 
headquarters of the Bangash tribe and allegedly a local taliban 
stronghold. At least nine were killed in the day's fighting. 
 
September 2: In violation of the ceasefire struck on September 
1, violence in the Sadda area and in Kirman, on the eastern 
border of Upper Kurram, claimed eight more lives.  The Shi'a 
fighters allegedly killed six local taliban and burned five 
houses. 
 
September 2: According to one press report, some local taliban 
fled Bajaur for Kurram. 
 
September 3-8: Ongoing clashes killed 42 in the areas between 
 
PESHAWAR 00000468  003 OF 008 
 
 
Alizai and Sadda, in Kirman and around Peiwar, 25 km northwest 
of Parachinar at the border with Afghanistan. Hospital sources 
claimed that some of the dead were not locals. 
 
September 9: The Shi'a tribesmen burned down the house of a 
local taliban commander and killed six militants. 
 
September 10-13: Ongoing clashes killed 23 in the areas along 
the road between Alizai and Sadda, in Kirman and around Peiwar. 
 
September 14: Clashes killed one in the areas along the road 
between Alizai and Sadda and around Peiwar. 
 
September 15: Mangal tribesmen attacked the Shi'a in Peiwar, 
killing four. 
 
Darra Adam Khel: Limited Operation to Quell Militancy 
--------------------------------------------- -------- 
 
6. (C) Although military operations in Bajaur and Swat drew most 
of the attention, the military operation near Darra Adam Khel 
launched on August 29 was ongoing in Frontier Region Kohat. 
Residents of the southern half of NWFP traveled lengthy 
circuitous routes to reach Peshawar because of the fighting. 
Scores of families left their homes and took refuge in other 
areas while some public and private schools were damaged.  The 
following is a timeline of significant events according to local 
press and post contacts through September 15: 
 
September 1: Four security personnel were seriously injured and 
one militant was killed during an exchange of heavy fire. 
 
September 2: Militants fired at least three rockets at Kohat 
Tunnel, causing minor damage to its outer portion.

opened fire on a Frontier Constabulary post, killing one FC
