Confessions from seven arrested militants indicates that military action by the Myanmarese army has compelled all the Northeast rebel outfits to flee from their camps and hideouts in Myanmar. The arrested militants who belong to (Peoples Liberation Army) PLA,(Peoples Revolutionary of Kangleipak) PREPAK and(United National Liberation Front) UNLF of Manipur also disclosed that the Myanmarese army had destroyed the National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Khaplang [NSCN (K)] central headquarters and begun proceeding towards the general headquarters (GHQ) of the militant outfit. The attack on the GHQ has also forced the chairman of NSCN (K), S.S. Khaplang, to seek refuge in the jungles. Some of the fleeing cadres have managed to enter Nagaland while most of the fleeing militants, mostly (United Liberation Front of Assam) ULFA and NSCN (K) cadres are believed to have sneaked into parts of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. The actions of the Myanmarese army comes as a sequel to a series of bilateral discussions between India and Myanmar, where it was agreed to share intelligence to curb cross-border militancy, drug peddling, smuggling and maintain proper border management. Within Nagaland, the Tuensang district has witnessed fierce factional feuds between both the factions of NSCN, which had claimed 43 lives in 1999. In the past three months, 10 factional clashes have caused deaths in the district. The battle between the Khaplang and Isaac Muivah factions of NSCN in the district is aimed at achieving full control over the region, which borders Myanmar.

Identifying South Asia as a major hub of international terrorism, the US State Department in its report for 1999, has accused Pakistan and Afghanistan of harbouring several international terrorist organisations including those operating in Jammu and Kashmir. The report severely criticises Pakistan for refusal to end support to groups that train terrorists in neighbouring Afghanistan and in Pakistan itself. The report added that Pakistan has declined to close "certain Pakistani religious schools that serve as conduits for terrorism" even as it has arrested and extradited several terrorists.According to Michael A Sheehan, the Department’s coordinator for counter-terrorism, the report stopped short of labelling Pakistan as a terrorist sponsor State as "it is a friendly State that is trying to tackle the problem." The report cites "credible reports," which says, that Pakistan continues to support militant groups like the Harakat ul-Mujahadeen, a prominent terrorist group involved in Jammu and Kashmir's militancy.Reacting to the report, Pakistan vehemently denied that it was in any way supporting or tolerating terrorism. A Pakistan embassy official in Washington countered the report saying "If they have evidence, they should share it with us. We are more a target and victim of terrorism than the United States has ever been. We need to jointly fight against terrorism, Charges like this simply get our backs up,"

News reports indicate that intelligence sources have warned of a possible attack by Pakistan based terrorist groups that have opposed the cease-fire offer on Abdul Majid Dar, the Hizb-ul Mujahideen leader who had announced the cease-fire offer on July 24. The Islamabad based Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) an umbrella body for 18 terrorists outfits active in Kashmir reportedly removed its chairman, Syed Salah-ud-din, also the supreme leader of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen. The All Party Hurriyat Conference has disagreed with the Hizb’s offer and termed it as "precipitous" and hasty. Simultaneously, the Hurriyat added in its official reaction that the solution to the Kashmir problem lay in "meaningful dialogue between respective parties to the dispute". Meanwhile, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman clarified that Pakistan had no influence over the unilateral cease-fire announcement by one of the biggest militant groups in Jammu and Kashmir. He added that the "Kashmiri leadership is the best judge of how they proceed in certain circumstances and it is for them (to decide) how best to carry forward their struggle".

A news report on October 9, citing intelligence sources, has indicated that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah; NSCN-IM) is reviving clandestine contacts with China. The report added that intelligence agencies believed that covert contacts between the Chinese and the NSCN(I-M) were severed in the Nineteen Eighties. The report states that the NSCN-IM, after the extension of its cease-fire agreement with the Union government on August 1, has sent a top member to the Kunming province in China to strike a deal for a 'major' arms consignment, which security agencies suspect, is to be smuggled into the Northeast. The report adds that the NSCN-IM member is attempting to persuade Chinese authorities in Kunming to urge the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), a Myanmarese guerrilla group, to allow the arms cache through Kachin territory. The KIA has concluded a cease-fire agreement with the pro-China Myanmarese regime. It is also suspected that about 70 armed cadre of the NSCN(I-M) have been sent to Tirap and Changlang, two districts in Arunachal Pradesh on the border with Myanmar. These cadre are expected to ‘’escort’’ the arms consignment into Arunachal Pradesh from where it will be channeled to NSCN(I-M) bases in Nagaland and other parts of the Northeast.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, on October 31, announced that the State government had accepted the reports of the Inquiry Commissions into the Brakpora and Pahalgam incidents in the State while the Justice Pandian Commission which enquired into the Brakpora firing incident has been asked to inquire into two events that preceded the Brakpora firing namely the Chattisinghpora massacre and the Pathribal "encounter". In the Brakpora incident, several civilians who were part of a protest group were killed in firing by security forces. The incident was investigated by the Justice (retired) Pandian Commission. In the Pahalgam incident, several civilians who were part of a pilgrim group, were killed when two terrorists opened fire on the group and security forces escorting the group retaliated with indiscriminate firing. This incident was investigated by a senior army officer, Lt. Gen. J R Mukherjee. The Chief Minister confirmed earlier news reports citing unofficial sources which said that the Justice Pandian Commission had held personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force and the State police guilty of unjustified and unprovoked firing on a peaceful procession. The Chief Minister also added that the Lt. Gen. J R Mukherjee Commission had held personnel of the CRPF and the State police guilty of "excessive firing" and "dereliction of duty" respectively. He announced that legal action is being taken against personnel indicted in the two incidents. Clarifying on the issue of the then district police of Anantnag district, Farooq Khan, who is currently under suspension but has been absolved of any responsibility by the Pandian Commission, the Chief Minister held that the officer would be reinstated only if the proposed enquiries into the Chattisinghpora massacre and Patribhal 'encounter' absolve him of any guilt. He claimed that this was so since the complaints of the locals in Anantnag district implied that Chittisinghpura, Pathribal and Brakpora were "links of the same chain". Farooq Khan has was the District Police chief when the Chittisinghpura, Pathribal incidents occurred. Referring to the abstracts of the report on the Pahalgam shooting, the Chief Minister announced that one CRPF official and three J&K Police officials were among those who had been identified and indicted by the Inquiry Commission. He added that, on the recommendations of the Committee, the State Government would constitute a committee of top-level bureaucrats to ensure the best possible security and other related arrangements for the Amarnath pilgrims. He said that all recommendations would be implemented so that incidents like that of August 1, 2000, did not occur in future.

The Rajya Sabha, India's Upper House of Parliament, was informed on November 24 that 6699 persons, including civilians and security force personnel were killed by terrorists and extremists in the three main theatres of internal conflict, namely Jammu and Kashmir, the North-East and Bihar between 1998 and October 2000. Giving the break-up while replying to a Member's query, Union Minister of State for Home Vidyasagar Rao said, 3188 and 2641 persons were killed by terrorists in J&K and North-East respectively, while Bihar's left-wing and other extremists killed 870 persons during this period. The Minister, during his replies to various Members' queries, also accused Pakistan of carrying out a low-intensity proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir to bleed India. I D Swamy, also a Minster of State for Home, added that there was increasing evidence of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) involvement in the insurgencies in India's north-eastern region. He also said that the government was aware of reports that north-east insurgent groups were attempting to procure arms from China. He said that India's concern on this has been conveyed to "authorities in neighbouring countries, including China", and added that security forces "have been alerted to intercept any illegal consignment of weapons brought clandestinely into Indian territory". Swamy also informed the House that the key elements of the Government’s strategy to combat terrorists groups active in the North-Eastern region included: focussed efforts to counter terrorist propaganda, modernisation of the State police, removal of any sense of neglect, discrimination or alienation felt by the people through a carefully drawn up programme of socio-economic development schemes and drawing up of a coordinated action plan to tackle terrorism through synergisation of efforts of State police, Army and paramilitary organisations. The Union Home Minister LK Advani, also speaking in the House, said that measures had been taken to enhance cooperation with Nepal, particularly with regard to implementing effective border management since the Indo-Nepal border is being used by the ISI for to infiltrate terrorists through this porous border.
