The document provides a quarterly situation report for Pakistan's North Zone (KP, FATA, GB, AJK) from March 2016. Some key points: 1. The first quarter saw continued political stability but a rise in militant attacks, especially using IEDs. Militant group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar emerged as the lead group claiming attacks. 2. 538 people were killed in militant violence, including 2 US consulate staff. 7 FDA staff remain missing after being abducted. 3. Operations against militants continued in FATA but extremism is spreading, with attacks now reaching other parts of Pakistan. Extortion has also become a major problem in KP.
