War on Terror
Despite its attraction for tourists, Mohmand District has been an area of conflict between Pakistan Army and some militant groups.[10]
On September 16, 2011, security forces cleared ninety percent of Mohmand District from the militants, normal life was restored and development activities were launched.[11]
In 2012, the Pakistani Army declared full control of Mohmand District and de-notified it as a conflict zone and transferred its control to the Frontier Corps.[12] However, terrorists continue to pose a threat to the peace by launching scattered terrorist attacks across from the Pakistan–Afghanistan border.
