Pakistan: Khar Suicide Bombing TR Jun12
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bajaur Agency is key terrain for the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban as it borders Pakistan’s Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa and Afghanistan’s thinly defended Kunar Province.
The Pakistani Army has consistently declared the Bajaur Agency cleared of militants.
The 04 May 2012 suicide bombing was the first major attack by militants in Bajaur Agency since December 2010.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in response to the Pakistani security forces’ killing of Sheik Marwan.
Successful targets of the 04 May 2012 attack were Major Javed Khan Bajauri Shaheed, Chief of Bajaur Levies (police) and Subedar Fazl-e-Rabbi Khan Bajauri Shaheed, Deputy Chief and Quarter Master of the Bajaur Levies (police).
