Three police personnel were killed in a landmine blast triggered by left-wing extremists—Naxalites—of the People’s War Group (PWG). Three Naxalites were killed in subsequent encounter that occurred between Kothur and Dachepalli villages, Guntur district, on January 5. Official sources said the police personnel were escorting three jeeps carrying officials of the State government’s Janmbhoomi (community development) programme when the Naxals triggered the blast. The officials were going to organize a gramsabha (village meeting) in Naxal-affected Kothur village as part of the Janmabhoomi programme. Soon after the landmine blast, over a dozen police personnel, who were part of the escort team, began to fire in the direction from where the Naxals triggered the landmines. During the encounter, three Naxals, including a woman, were killed. Senior police officials, including the State police chief P Ramulu, rushed to the scene and a combing operation has been launched to track down the Naxalites.

Two of the sons of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden have been arrested, media reports said, quoting Balochistan (Provincial) Home Minister Sanaullah Zehri. They were reportedly arrested in a joint raid conducted by Pakistan and American security force personnel and were also injured during the raid. The Minister said on March 7, "I am in constant touch with the security forces. I was informed by intelligence agencies that reports coming across the border (from Afghanistan) are that two of Osama's sons were caught and they were injured." He further said, "They were arrested from Rabat area in Afghanistan." The Minister also identified them as Saad bin Laden and Hamza bin Laden. Seven other Al-Qaeda terrorists were also killed in the raid, he added. However, in Washington, United States (US) counter-terrorism officials disputed the report, saying they had no information that would suggest any of bin Laden’s sons were caught.
