Peshawar,APRIL 23: Bomb blasts in girls schools, CD centres and internet cafes have again intensified across the district. In the past few weeks two girl schools were attacked in the jurisdiction of Mattani Police Station in the villages bordering Darra Adam Khel in addition to the blasts in four CD shop and one internet café in Kohati locality not to mention the Babar Road blast inside the cantonment. It may be mentioned here that in nearly all blasts that occurred along the main Kohat Road in the district, dynamite concealed in a five kilogram empty ghee tin - a trade mark of the unknown attackers. People of the area are of the view that Taliban militants are behind all these attacks who 'placed a ghee tin in front of all the CD centers and the most unfortunate CD center had attracted three such tins'. Police in Mathani and Badaber villages are confused and worried about own security rather than providing security to the general public, which has created an interesting situation. The local residents, however, are not afraid of Taliban -- who had killed the notorious don Churg -- but they are fearful of the blasts, the unseen hands and underground activities in their areas. On the other hand, there is a widespread belief that Taliban have chosen either Regi or Badaber -- the two most populace villages in the district -- to formally launch their movement in Peshawar. People of Regi believe that their village has been selected as a future base camp by Taliban as the village has successfully demonstrated its ability to become a no-go-area for the law enforcement agencies in the past. There are two rivals in this connection - Taliban and Lashkare Islam Bara, for Regi. Lashkar-e-Islam has even made contacts with some locals and a few families especially the Melo family - the notorious modern-day Robinhood -- who was killed in a mysterious encounter by the police, has already joined Lashkare Islam. If the Mangal Bagh-run Lashkere Islam joins hands with Batullah Mehsud then there should be no doubts in any one's mind that Regi village would provide a good head-start to Taliban in the provincial metropolis as the villagers would also support Taliban to capture the precious Orkazai estate from its present owners and in return would provide them with an opportunity to use the village as a base camp. The most feared phenomenon - If the most feared Commondo Group of Regi, led by Namatullah Jan alias Jan Commander, joined hands with Lashkar or Taliban. The government needs to check such happening to avoid untowards situation. |
