According to media reports, police arrested approximately 45 cadres of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in raids on January 6. "In all some 45 of their members were picked up in raids late on Saturday and early on Sunday. At least 32 Jaish members were among the detainees", said Hassan Burki, spokesperson for the JeM. He said police in several southern districts of Punjab raided mosques, homes and offices searching for cadres and weapons. "Police entered our homes, insulting our elders and women. They searched our homes for weapons and messed everything up," Burki said. He added that the Jaish would challenge the arrests of its cadres in the courts. "The law provides protection even to criminals. We will challenge the arrests of our cadres and the government will have to tell what was their offence. If we did not get justice through the legal course, it would mean that state terrorism is being meted out to us," he said. The spokesperson claimed that Pakistan was bowing to pressure from India and the international community. "All this is being done to please India and Blair," he said, adding these detentions would not make any difference to the outfit.

A self-claimed killer of US journalist Daniel Pearl was arrested in Lahore on March 14. Adnan alias Sunny, belonging to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), appeared at a local Urdu daily's office and claimed having slain Daniel Pearl. Talking to the media, Adnan said he belonged to an educated family although they had disowned him. According to him, "I bought rat-killing pills but, later, thought to die for a cause. I planned to save a soldier like Omar Sheikh. I fabricated the murder story and reached the newspaper office." He said he narrated the story in the said office which published it later. He indicated that the whole story was fake. He claimed that he had joined the JeM in 2001 in Mansehra and got 15-day training. He said he believed Omar Sheikh was not involved in the Pearl killing and hoped his confession of owning the murder would bail Omar out.
