    SUBJECT: SECURITY ENVIRONMENT PROFILE QUESTIONNAIRE (SEPQ)-PESHAWAR

    REF: STATE 33533

    CLASSIFIED BY: David J. Hazarian, Regional Security Officer,
    RSO, State.
    REASON: 1.4 (d)

    The following responses are provided for the Security
    Environment Profile Questionnaire (SEPQ) Responses are keyed to
    questions in Reftel.

    (U) Demonstrations

    ¶A. Yes. There are numerous religious communities and
    organizations within the NWFP and FATA, including a high volume
    of violent Islamist islamaci radical groups that are fully
    capable of carrying out anti-American demonstrations. In
    addition, political parties, at times, include anti-American
    sentiments in their demonstrations on domestic political issues.

    i. In Peshawar, YES. There were eleven medium to large
    demonstrations following Friday prayers relating to counter
    terrorism efforts in the Tribal areas. There was also one large
    demonstration where locals were protesting against the NATO
    supply shipments transiting Peshawar onward to Afghanistan.

    ii. No, Consulate Peshawar is located within the confines of a
    Military cantonment and is marginally insulated from
    demonstrations.

    iii. The one demonstration stated in (Ai), consisted of
    approximately 3,500 individuals.

    iv. All three are possible. Pakistani military operations in the
    FATA are perceived as initiated by the U.S. or policies viewed
    by some as anti-Islamic are often blamed on U.S. influence.

    ¶B. Demonstrations are generally peaceful but have the
    potential to become violent.

    i. No

    ii. No

    ¶C. Peshawar has not witnessed a large volume of Anti-Government
    demonstrations over the past year.

    i. No

    ii. 250-700

    iii. Demonstrations are generally peaceful but have the
    potential to become violent.

    iv. No

    II. (S) Macro Conflict Conditions

    ¶A. Yes. Elements of the Taliban and Al-Qaida fighting in
    Afghanistan use sites in the NWFP and the FATA for training,
    rest, and recuperation. The Taliban have used the NWFP and the
    FATA to stage attacks into Afghanistan and have also initiated
    attacks on the Pakistan Military and Government in both the
    Settled areas and the Tribal areas. Elements sympathetic to the
    Taliban have attacked GOP buildings, officials, citizens and
    Western-associated enterprises and personnel inside Peshawar,
    often as retaliation for GOP efforts to stop Taliban and Al
    Qaeda activities. The Pakistani Military has engaged in clashes
    with Taliban elements inside the FATA and NWFP and local Police
    have engaged with militants within the confines of downtown
    Peshawar. The NWFP and the FATA have seen frequent instances of
    sectarian violence between Shi'a and Sunni elements, most
    notably in Peshawar (two bombings of Shi'a mosques in the Old
    City during the Muharram Holiday); Sectarian violence has taken
    place in Swat, Bannu, Kurram Tribal area and the NWFP's D.I.
    Khan area.

    ¶B. The conflicts mentioned above have taken place mostly in the
    FATA and NWFP to include the "settled areas", which are adjacent
    to the FATA. Almost every FATA Agency has been effected by the
    above mentioned conflicts. Heavily effected areas include Tank,
    D.I. Khan, Bannu, Swat, Mohmand, Hangu and North and South
    Waziristan. However, recently a significant number of attacks
    have occurred in the settled areas.

    ¶C. U.S. Consulate Peshawar

    ¶D. Yes, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and extremist militants are
    Anti-U.S. in nature and express this in their actions and
    demonstrated capabilities.

    III. (S) Host Country Capabilities

    ¶A. The Peshawar police are poor at deterring crime, and
    responses to emergency calls by local citizens often go
    unattended. The police have generally responded effectively to
    Consulate Peshawar's requests when assistance has been needed.
    The Police have limited resources, such as a shortage of
    vehicles, and criminal lab facilities. Their police force is
    geared toward security force work, i.e. protecting a street
    corner, than investigative work or proactive procedures. As a
    result of crime concerns a number of wealthier citizens in
    Peshawar have hired contract security companies to provide armed
    personnel at their residences.

    ¶B. The police forces in the NWFP have received significant
    training and support from the U.S. State Department, Diplomatic
    Security Anti-terrorism Training Assistance (ATA) Program and
    the Department of Justice's International Criminal Investigative
    Training Assistance Program (ICITAP). The training is first rate
    but it has not had a major effect on police capabilities in the
    province. Their ability to conduct effective investigations,
    whether it be post-blast, homicide or kidnappings is extremely
    limited.

    ¶C. Yes. Corruption tends to be wide spread and pervasive at all
    ranks of law enforcement. There are also reports of high-level
    corruption in the province.

    ¶D. Yes, Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is
    professional and capable of deterring terrorist actions.
    However, they do face resource challenges which sometimes
    affects their ability to effectively conduct counterterrorism
    operations.

    ¶E. Yes, ISI for the most part, is cooperative with U.S.
    Consulate requests for information and support. They are an
    important U.S. ally in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).
    However, there is a divided loyalty within ISI ranks which may
    cause inaction, or assistance to Taliban and anti U.S. groups.

    ¶F. Yes. A number of Al-Qaeda and Taliban members have been
    killed or apprehended.

    ¶G. Yes. Pakistani officials have been very responsive. At the
    Consulate in Peshawar, we have a platoon of Capital City Police
    and a platoon of Frontier Constabulary augmenting security at
    the consulate.

    ¶H. The airport security is below-average.

    ¶I. The customs and immigration control at airports is adequate
    but at border crossings along the border with Afghanistan and
    Iran it is ineffective.

    ¶J. Ineffective, the borders are porous. Taliban and militant
    extremists are constantly crossing the border with Afghanistan
    and engaging in terrorist and smuggling activity. The rugged
    terrain makes it difficult to patrol and control the border.

    (6) (S) Indigenous Terrorism

    ¶I. (S) Anti-American Terrorist Groups

    ¶A. Yes-Pakistan has a significant number of Islamic extremist
    militants. Jaish-i-Muhammad (banned by the GOP) aka
    Khudam-ul-Islam, Lashkar-I-Tayyiba (banned by the GOP),
    Jamaat-ul-Furqaan, Harakat ul-Jihad-I-Islami, Harakat
    ul-Mujahideen aka Jamiat ul-Ansar, harakat ul-Mujahideen
    al-Alami, Al-Badr Mujahideen, Hizbul Mujahideen, Harakat ul
    Ansar, Lashkar I-Jhangvi (banned by the GOP), Sipah I-Sahaba
    Pakistan (banned by the GOP), Hizb-e-Islami Khalis, Tehrik Nefaz
    I-Shariat Muhammadi (banned by the GOP), Taliban and Al Qaeda.

    ¶B. In Peshawar, Yes, the killing of an Amcit USAID Contractor.

    ¶C. Yes, the attack of the Principal Officer.

    ¶D. Yes, see C.

    ¶E. See C-and there continues to be credible on-going reporting
    by these groups to target U.S. interests and personnel.

    ¶F. They operate across the FATA and NWFP and inner city of
    Peshawar.

    ¶G. U.S. Consulate Peshawar which is located in Peshawar.

    II. Other Indigenous Terrorist Groups

    ¶A. In Peshawar, yes
