According to a media report, police in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) claimed on April 2 that they had arrested 14 Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terrorists. The arrests were made on April 1 in Muzaffarabad, a week after some cadres of the HM blamed their chief Syed Salahuddin for the death of former ‘chief commander of operations’ Abdul Majeed Dar, splitting the group into two rival factions. Dar was killed on March 23, in Sopore, 55km north of Srinagar, the capital of the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. Supporters of Majeed Dar accused Salahuddin of ordering Dar’s assassination because Salahuddin feared an attempt to oust him. The report said police arrested seven cadres from each Hizb faction under preventive detention to forestall a clash.

An Australian national suspected to have trained with the Al Qaeda in Afghanistan was arrested at the international airport, in Karachi, on January 4, and is being probed for links to the terrorist network, official sources said, on January 13. The suspect, a former Melbourne taxi driver, is reported to have traveled to Pakistan in 2001 to study Islam before heading to Afghanistan. An unnamed security official was quoted as saying in Karachi that his arrest was connected to the January 9-arrest of two Arab Al Qaeda suspects during a pre-dawn raid on a private residence in Karachi. One of the men arrested on January 9 was an Iraqi and the other a Jordanian-Palestinian, he said, rejecting earlier police identification of the men as Moroccan and Yemeni. A Pakistani hockey player’s daughter and politician-wife, who occupied the ground floor of the raided residence, had lived in Australia for several years and returned to Pakistan in 2002, he said. The Australian is reportedly connected to a Muslim fundamentalist group operating in Chechnya. Meanwhile, Australia’s Attorney General Darryl Williams confirmed to the media in Adelaide that the suspect is believed to have trained with the Al Qaeda and added that Australian authorities had been trying to trace him for the past year.

The Federal Government on November 15 proscribed three religio-political outfits under the Anti-Terrorist Act 1997. The proscribed parties/groups have been identified as Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan (ITP - formerly known as Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan [TJP]), Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan (MIP - formerly known as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan [SSP]) and Khudamul Islam (KI - formerly known as Jaish-e-Mohammed [JeM]). The decision was taken at a high-level meeting in Islamabad chaired by President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali. The meeting also decided to place Jamaat-ud-Dawa (the new name for Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT]) on the watch list under the same act. These groups had flouted the law by changing their names, as under the Act an organization banned once for extremism cannot function with another name. Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said that the police had sealed the offices of the three banned groups across the country. "The funds of these groups have been frozen and they will not be allowed to indulge in any public activity henceforth," said Hayat. The Daily Times has reported that Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan chief Allama Sajid Naqvi was arrested from his Rawalpindi residence.
