Pakistani investigators have reportedly found a definite and irrevocable link between a Muslim charity and one of the four suspects believed to be involved in the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in February 2002. According to Daily Times, a ‘Trust Deed’, retrieved from at least two banks where the Al-Akhtar Trust International, outlawed by the American Treasury Department in 2003 for having links with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, has it accounts, shows that Saud Memon is one of the eleven trustees of the trust. Memon, an industrialist, had been named by several arrested members of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-Almi (HuMA) as their chief financial supporter. His date of birth, father’s name and his citizenship (National Identity Card number) were reportedly identical on the CID Red Book and the Trust Deed. Subsequent to Pearl’s murder, the police had sealed Memon’s residence in Karachi, where he also ran his garment business. Saud Memon remains one of the key suspects still at large in the Daniel Pearl murder case. According to the CID Red Book updated in December 2004, Memon was responsible for receiving funds from the Al Qaeda and distributing them among almost all Jehadi outfits operating in Pakistan.

According to Daily Times, three Pakistani prisoners who returned from Guantanamo Bay in September 2004 recently told a Joint Interrogation Team (JIT) of several intelligence agencies that the Americans were curious about the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and wanted information on the ISI networks in Afghanistan and Iran. They also corroborated reports that US interrogators desecrated the Holy Quran. According to documents obtained by Daily Times, JIT personnel interrogated Abid Raza, Mohammad Anwar and Mohammad Ilyas in Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas prisons from April 18 to May 10, 2005. The three, who had been taken to the Guantanamo Bay (GB) detention facility from Afghanistan in January 2002, said the Americans interrogated them about the Al Qaeda, Taliban and ISI. "But most of their questions were about the ISI. They wanted to know how many of those detained in Guantanamo had been associated with the ISI. They would to ask things like what were the networks of the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran, how the agency worked in those countries and who were working for the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran," the Guantanamo returnees told the JIT. They also claimed interrogators at GB used to desecrate the Holy Quran. "They would stand on the Quran and throw it away, saying the book teaches you terrorism," they added. During interrogation by the JIT, they also complained of torture at Guantanamo and sexual abuse, especially by women interrogators.

Daily Times quoting United States investigators reports that a member of a terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda has been deported to Pakistan after being detained for over a year. The deported terrorist was identified as Khamal Muhammad, an armed guard and cook for Harkat-ul Mujahideen (HuM).

Terrorist training camps in Pakistan have reportedly resumed functioning after a year-long hiatus and the old and new recruits are flocking to them notwithstanding the official ban, according to the Karachi-based Herald. Citing an example of the camps being reopened, the magazine in its cover story, said one of Pakistan’s oldest training camps at Mansehra in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) is bustling with activity after a year-long closure, as old and new cadres converged on it to resume their training. "Our transport fleet is back, electricity has been restored and communications systems are in place… Until 2001, thousands of fighters trained here for operations in Kashmir and Afghanistan," the magazine quoted a guide who conducted the correspondent around as saying. According to a top manager of the training camp in Mansehra, all the major organisations, including Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Al-Badr Mujahideen, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and others, began regrouping in April 2005 by renovating training facilities that were deserted in 2004. Contrary to official denials, the magazine said despite the ban, outfits like HM, HuM, Al-Badr Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) managed to stay in touch with their cadre in 2003-04, which was considered as their worst year.

The mastermind behind the July 7-terrorist attacks in London, which killed more than 50 people and injured at least 700, has reportedly been identified. The British-born man in his 30s arrived at a British port in June 2005 and left the country again the day before the attacks, according to The Times. The man is of Pakistani origin, the report said. According to the newspaper, he was involved in previous terrorist operations and has links with followers of Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network in the United States. Meanwhile, news reports have identified three Britons of Pakistani descent, the alleged suicide bombers, as Shahzad Tanweer, a 22-year-old cricket-loving sports science graduate; Hasib Hussain, aged 19; and Mohammed Sidique Khan, the 30-year-old father of an 8-month-old baby. Britain’s Press Association, citing police sources, said on July 13 that police had identified the fourth suspect but no name or details were reported. Surveillance cameras captured the four as they arrived in the capital 20 minutes before the rush-hour explosions began. In Pakistan, the Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said on July 13 in Islamabad that they would share with Britain all possible information that could help investigations into the London blasts. Asked whether there had been any arrests in Pakistan in connection with the blasts, the minister said he could not share such information with the media at this stage. But Sherpao disclosed that Pakistan had provided "intelligence information" to the British authorities and had helped them to avert a major disaster before the UK elections.

According to Daily Times, in contravention of the Election Commission’s directions of July 19 to all District Returning Officers (DROs) to exclude members of 18 outlawed Jihadi groups from the forthcoming local bodies’ elections, dozens of cadres of these groups are contesting the polls. The DROs claim that they received the directions and the list of suspect candidates only after the scrutiny process was completed. "There was little we could do (to stop members of banned organisations). They only needed to submit an affidavit to be eligible for the elections," said a unnamed DRO. The list of banned organisations provided by the Election Commission of Pakistan included Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), Sipah-e-Mohammed Pakistan (SMP), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan (TJP), Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM), Tehrik-e-Islami, Millat-e-Islamia, Khuddam-ul- Islam, Islami Tehrik Pakistan, Jamiat-ul-Ansar, Jamiat-ul-Furqan, Hizb-ul-Tehrir, Khairun Nissa International Trust, Sunni Tehrik and Jamaat-ud-Dawa.

According to Daily Times, intelligence agencies have warned the Government that banned Jihadi outfits are planning to make another assassination attempt on President Pervez Musharraf. According to intelligence reports submitted to the Interior Ministry, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Jamiat-ul-Furqan (formerly Jaish-e-Mohammed) are trying to "cultivate" a relative of the president who is not on good terms with him or against his policies, sources told Daily Times. The report says if this scheme fails, the terrorist groups, which have so far been unable to penetrate the tight security around Gen Musharraf, could target close relatives or friends of the president. In light of these reports, the Interior Ministry has asked home secretaries of the four provinces and the Chief Commissioner of Islamabad to collect particulars of the close relatives and friends of the president and submit them to the ministry.

Security agencies have secured information that activists of the Jamaat-ul-Furqan (JuF), a local collaborator of the Al Qaeda, can target foreign teams, especially the Americans and the British, when they start returning back to their countries after undertaking necessary relief work in areas affected by the recent earthquake, according to The News. "The presence of Jamaat-ul-Furqan in Muzaffarabad and other earthquake affected areas needs to be watched very closely and if there is any hint of their involvement in subversive activities in the earthquake affected areas, effective measures needs to be taken against them. This is one organization, which reportedly can target the foreign relief teams, especially the Americans and the British, when they start returning back to their countries after undertaking the necessary relief work," said one of the intelligence reports. Besides, intelligence agencies have further revealed that the JuF is providing volunteers to an Arabian militant Abu Adil from the Al Qaeda ranks who has launched a group "Al-Jehad" in North Waziristan with the objective of carrying out attacks on important Government personalities and eliminating those who, in their view, are working against the interests of Taliban. The Al-Jehad is said to be involved in attacking Pakistani security forces deployed in Waziristan and the security interests/assets of other countries, including the US troops deployed in the bordering area inside Afghanistan. According to official sources, the Al-Jehad has so far been made operational in North Waziristan under the command of one Ustaad Khalid.

Seminaries are illegally running more than 90 FM radio stations to broadcast their teachings in various districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), a source told Daily Times on December 6. The source said the channels often disturbed police wireless transmissions because they operate at frequencies reserved for security agencies. He said the channels had not been allocated frequencies by the Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) but they were using frequencies allocated for security agencies to circumvent the issue. According to the source, 27 channels are operating illegally in Swabi district alone. "These channels are very popular among residents as people know the religious scholars," said a Swabi resident.

Militants have begun to open recruiting offices in North and South Waziristan to recruit fighters against the Pakistan Army and US forces in Afghanistan, indicated a report appearing in an American newspaper on December 12. The Christian Science Monitor reports from Islamabad that videos released by the militants, and sold in local shops as part of their recruitment drive, show militants training openly. The militants have also reportedly held public gatherings, the most recent in October to mark the year anniversary since the Pakistan military bombed a militant camp in Dela Khula, killing 40 of their comrades. The newspaper points out that the harsh edicts and an upsurge in violence suggest that Waziristan is not stable. It quotes observers as saying that the area is slipping back into the hands of Al Qaeda and Taliban militants, despite the 60,000 Pakistani troops and paramilitary personnel deployed there.

Police believe a member of the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), an outlawed Sunni extremist group, has entered Japan with the aim of setting up a base in that country, a report said on December 30. A male member of the SSP entered Japan in 2003, according to documents from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the Sankei Shimbun newspaper said. Police have discovered that this man in his 30s frequented mosques in the Tokyo area and that he told other people that he came to Japan to set up a launch pad for the group, the report said. Japanese police are on heightened alert for possible terrorist activities and fear a move by the militant group to recruit members from Japan’s Muslim community and create a support network, the newspaper added.
