This is a list of terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2012. Pakistan has faced numerous attacks by insurgents as a result of the ongoing War in North-West Pakistan by the Pakistani military against militant groups, part of the War on Terror. At the same time, there have also been numerous drone attacks in Pakistan carried out by the United States which exclusively target members of militant groups along the Afghan border regions. == January - March 2012 == * January 1 Askari Raza, leader of a Shi'a political organisation ''Pasban-e-Jaferia'', was shot dead in a sectarian-motivated target killing in Karachi by two armed men riding a motorcycle a day earlier.

The attackers were also said to be injured when two other men accompanying Raza fired in retaliation although they managed to escape safely.〔(Sectarian violence: One dies, one wounded in targeted attack )〕 At least 15,000 Shi'a protestors staged a sit-in outside the Sindh Governor House on the first day of January to protest the assassination.〔(Target killing: Shia leader's murder sparks protest in Karachi )〕 *January 3 Three blasts took place in three different cities: Gujrat, Peshawar and Landi Kotal (Khyber Agency), killing in total at least five people and injuring dozens others.〔(Police: 3 blasts rock Pakistan; appear to be unrelated ), BBC〕 * January 4 A remote-controlled blast in Sui, Balochistan killed an Amn force guard and injured two other tribesmen.〔(Balochistan Violence: Blast kills Amn force guard )〕 * January 5 The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) murdered 15 Frontier Constabulary soldiers in Orakzai Agency who had been kidnapped and kept in custody for over a year.
