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.

Armed squads of the Ranvir Sena, private army of landowners, killed three persons near Koeria-Chatar village, under Makhdumpur police station-limits, Jehanabad district, on January 11. They were killed while heading to their native Khojpura village. Police recovered their bodies on January 13. Police sources said the victims had no links with any left-wing extremist—Naxalite—group and were, thus, not related to the ongoing rivalry between the Naxalites and Ranvir Sena. Khojpura and other surrounding villages are considered to be the stronghold of the People’s War Group (PWG). No arrests have been made in this connection so far. The incident comes close on the heels of the Ranvir Sena killing three persons in Lodipur village, Gaya district, on January 9.

In the first major terrorist strike since Prime Minister Vajpayee's April 18-peace initiative, two fidayeen (suicide squad) terrorists attacked an army installation at the Dogra Regiment camp in Sunjwan on the outskirts of Jammu city on June 28 killing 12 soldiers and injuring seven others, including a Lieutenant, before being killed by the troops. Official sources said that the death toll of soldiers could increase as the condition of two army personnel, who were airlifted to the Military Hospital in Udhampur, was stated to be serious. Two suicide terrorists wearing army uniforms reportedly stormed the army camp in the early hours on June 28 hurling grenades and firing indiscriminately, killing two guards at the main gate. While one of them entered the ground floor barrack and commenced indiscriminate firing on the sleeping soldiers with an AK rifle, the second terrorist took position outside the barrack. The terrorists were later shot dead by a quick reaction team of the Army, a spokesperson of the Army said in New Delhi. After the encounter, a bomb disposal squad carried out extensive sanitization of the entire area and defused three grenades thrown by the terrorists. Two AK-47 rifles with Pakistani markings and carrying Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) symbols besides 13 magazines, 470 rounds of ammunition, 23 grenades, some explosive material and Rupees 1800 in Pakistani currency were recovered from the slain terrorists. While identity of the slain terrorists has not been established thus far, the Daily Excelsior reported that an intercept said one of them could be Abu Hurera (code name).

At least 44 persons were killed and 65 others injured when three armed terrorists, including a suspected suicide bomber, attacked a Shiite Muslim mosque in Quetta, capital of the Southwestern Balochistan province, during the Friday prayers on July 4. Curfew was imposed in the city and troops were deployed to maintain law and order as angry mobs set ablaze several vehicles following the massacre. According to media reports, over 450 worshippers were offering Friday prayers at the mosque, Jama Masjid-o-Imambargah Kalaan Isna Ashri, when three terrorists opened indiscriminate fire with automatic weapons and explosive devices. In retaliation, some of the worshippers attacked the killers and one of them, who had tied an explosive devise to his chest, pulled out its pin. The device reportedly exploded killing the terrorist. However, a conflicting report said that two police officials rushed towards the mosque and opened fire on the terrorists, injuring them. Two of the terrorists later blew themselves up. The police defused the explosive device that was tied to the third attacker. He reportedly succumbed to his injuries later. Separately, head of the Federal Interior Ministry's National Crises Management Cell, Brigadier Javed Cheema, said that at least one of the assailants appeared to be a suicide bomber as he had grenades tied to his body and was blown up.
