According to a media report on July 1, Indian terrorists outfits operating from Bhutan have not responded to the June 30 deadline set by the Government there to vacate its territory. The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), active in Assam and the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO), active in parts of Assam and West Bengal, were asked by the Bhutan Government to remove their camps located in the jungles of southern Bhutan by the said deadline. The Government there, however, has reportedly said that efforts were on to resolve the matter peacefully. While speaking to a Guwahati-based journalist from the capital Thimphu on July 1, Bhutan’s Foreign Secretary, Ugyen Tshering reportedly said, "We are committed to a peaceful resolution of the problem, and have not shut our doors to anything which can ensure that. But, the response from the ULFA and NDFB rebels have been less than encouraging." However, he added, "We want their immediate withdrawal, but we never set any deadline for the withdrawal process."

According to media reports, Ramulu received threat letters and phone calls from the PWG asking him to quit his ministerial position and the party.

A similar warning has reportedly been issued to the Mahboobnagar district TDP president, T Manohar, who shifted his family to Hyderabad and restricted his movements in the Naxalite-affected areas.

According to official sources in south Kashmir, two Special Police Officers (SPO) were abducted by unidentified terrorists in the Shopian area of Pulwama district on July 2 and later shot dead.

Both the SPOs had reportedly been working with the erstwhile Special Operations Group (SOG) camp of Gagran and they had carried out a large number of counter-insurgency operations.

Minister for Rural Development and a senior Congress (I) leader, Pirzada Mohammad Sayeed, escaped an assassination attempt at Larnoo village in the Kokernag area of Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on July 4. The headmaster of a Government school died and 28 persons, including the Minister and nine police personnel, sustained injuries in the explosion. The Minister had gone to Larnoo to conduct an inspection of several Government offices. While the Minister visited the office of the Block Development Officer (BDO), an unidentified terrorist lobbed a hand grenade targeting the Minister and his entourage. Even as three of the Minister’s Personal Security Officers were injured, others of his security and escort staff fired gunshots in the air. While no terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack thus far, official sources suspect it to be the handiwork of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). The assassination attempt is the first ever-terrorist attack on any Minister of the eight-month-old coalition Government in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier this year, terrorists had caused an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in Baramulla in an attempt to assassinate Finance Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig. However, Baig had left when the blast occurred. Prior to that, unidentified terrorists had shot dead the ruling People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) Pampore Legislator Abdul Aziz Mir at his residential village of Konibal on December 20, 2002.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Mukut Mithi has alleged that the Union Government has not taken adequate steps to tackle terrorism in the State. During a conversation from Itanagar over telephone on July 8 to a journalist in Guwahati, Assam he said, "The Centre (Union Government) is simply letting the Naga rebels roam about freely in Tirap and Changlang districts of Arunachal Pradesh although after the ceasefire, cadres of the NSCN-IM (National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah) and others are supposed to be confined to their designated camps in Nagaland." He further said that an estimated 400 to 500 Naga terrorists, mostly NSCN-IM, and armed with sophisticated weapons are present in these two districts. He said, "Tirap and Changlang districts have been in the grip of rampant extortion, killings and kidnappings. My party’s (Congress) Tirap district vice-president too had been kidnapped". He also denied that he had received any communication from the Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani to probe into the alleged links of six of his cabinet Ministers to terrorists. However, he added, "But, why should the Centre make any such inquiry when trial of some of my own party MLAs is on in the state on just such charges. After all, the question of an alleged politician-militant nexus in my State has come up only because the Centre has allowed these people (rebels) to operate, rather freely, in Arunachal Pradesh."

According to the External Affairs Ministry, Pakistan based terrorist groups may intensify cross-border infiltration between August and September reportedly under a changed strategy.

The note further said that in the camps at Naukot, Channian, Lipa and Chopa in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) terrorists of Lashkar–e-Toiba (LeT) were being trained.

Official sources said that the explosions occurred within a span of 10 minutes at a community kitchen even as thousands of pilgrims were en route to the mountaintop temple.

A three-member fidayeen (suicide squad) stormed an army camp on July 22 killing eight security force (SF) personnel, including a Brigadier, and injuring 12 others, including four top Generals, a Brigadier and two Colonels at village Bangti on the Tanda road in Akhnoor. According to reports, at around 0600 hours, three terrorists alighted from a vehicle and stormed the army camp at Bangti lobbing grenades and firing. While a sentry killed one of them, the others managed to enter the adjacent barrack and opened indiscriminate firing killing seven troops, including two Junior Commissioned Officers, and injuring six others. Later, another terrorist was shot dead by SF personnel in retaliatory firing. A few hours later, while a team of front ranking army officials were inspecting the incident site, a third member of the suicide squad hiding in the bushes inside the camp initially lobbed a grenade and then blew himself up killing Brigadier V K Govil and injuring among others, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Hari Prasad, Commander of the Nagrota-based 16 Corps Lt Gen T P S Brar, two Major Generals D Khanna and T K Sapru, Brigadier Baldev Singh of 10 RT Brigade and two Colonels. Unnamed army sources were quoted as saying that Gen Prasad and Gen Brar had sustained minor injuries and they are "fully functional". While the identity of the slain terrorists is yet to be established, official sources suspect that the trio were Pakistanis. Three rifles and Rupees 6,000 in Indian currency were recovered from their possession. Meanwhile, a hitherto unknown group, the Al-Shahuda Brigade, suspected to be a front organisation of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. The attack on the camp was carried out to protest visiting Pakistani opposition leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s remarks that the Line of Control (LoC) should be converted into a permanent border and that the Kashmir issue should be resolved within the framework of the 1972 Shimla Accord, a hand written press release faxed by the outfit to a news agency’s office in Srinagar said. "We are of the view that self-seeking Muslims have always damaged the cause of Islam and Fazal-ur- Rahman is the chip of the old block. He has hurt the feelings of Kashmiri Muslims," the release added. This is the second major attack on an army camp within a month. A suicide squad had attacked the army camp at Sunjawan on June 28 killing 12 troops and injuring seven others.

As reported earlier, both Prasad and Brar had received splinter injuries when one of the three terrorists involved in the attack blew himself up when they were visiting the camp. Fernandes also said that the LeT "is involved in this attack and Al-Shuhda Brigade (which claimed responsibility) is a shadowy militant outfit and cover of it."

According to media reports of July 23, the 81st National Assembly of Bhutan has adopted a resolution requesting the Royal Government to make ‘the last attempt’ to persuade the Indian terrorist outfits to remove their camps from the jungles in Samdrup Jongkhar and its vicinity. The Assembly that concluded the discussion on July 14 decided that the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) would be allowed to close down their camps within this year ‘peacefully’. The Assembly also warned that the terrorists would face ‘military action’ if they fail to comply with the resolution. Earlier reports had indicated that the Bhutan Government had asked these groups to leave Bhutan by June 30, 2003 or to face military action. However, the Government there has decided to give them one more chance. According to Bhutanese authorities, the ULFA that is active in the Northeastern Indian State of Assam has eight camps in Bhutan, including its general headquarters and an estimated 1,560 of its cadres are present there. The NDFB that is also active in Assam has eight camps with about 740 cadres and the KLO, active in parts of West Bengal and Assam has three camps with approximately 430 cadres.

On July 23, while extending full support to the Indian Government's war against terrorism, Russia strongly condemned the terrorist attacks on pilgrims and an Army camp in the State of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).

Seven pilgrims, including a child were killed and 30 others injured earlier in a separate attack on July-21 night at Katra, on way to the Vaishno Devi shrine. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Alexander Yakovenko said, "We strongly condemn these terrorist acts and regard them as challenging provocations of the international terrorism, which is seeking to destabilise the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and in the region as a whole and to scuttle the incipient advance of India and Pakistan towards a normalisation of bilateral relations." He added, "We express support to the Government of India in its determined struggle against the forces staking on extremist methods and we are confident that only consistent and uncompromising counteraction against international terrorism on the part of all members of the world community can eradicate this global evil."

Fazlue Rehman said that his party the Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam condemned the attack and the Mujahideen should cease their operations. "The ultimate end of every militant struggle is negotiations and now the Kashmiri mujahideen movements should reach that conclusion. We are striving for a peaceful solution of the issue for them," he added. Earlier, at the Wagah border, the Maulana said Jehad and a dialogue for peace did not clash with each other and a dialogue could be held even during ‘fighting’.

16 US Congressmen in a signed letter to President George W Bush are reported to have stated that they would support additional assistance to Pakistan only if the country were to act decisively on the issues of non-proliferation, democratisation and terrorism, including cross border infiltration into the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir. The statement reportedly said that Musharraf "should demonstrate real progress beyond the verbal commitments he has made on each (of the issues)". The statement further said, "It is time to dismantle the terrorist networks that threaten Pakistan's internal stability and engage in terrorism across the Line of Control in Kashmir. Pakistan can no longer afford its dalliance with Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HuM)". The statement added, "It is not enough to move terrorist camps from Pakistani controlled Kashmir to the Punjab. The camps, and the groups must be dismantled, the terrorist financial networks must be eliminated and the terrorists must be arrested and prosecuted, not merely put under house arrest or other informal detention".

The Hindustan Times has reported that US investigators have traced the funding for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to Al Qaeda accounts in Pakistan. John S Pistole, Deputy Assistant Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) counter-terrorism division, reportedly revealed this during his testimony to the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in Washington on July 31. Pistole said that they have "traced the origin of the funding of 9/11 to financial accounts in Pakistan, where high-ranking and well-known Al-Qaida operatives played a major role in moving the money forward, eventually into the hands of the hijackers located in the US". However, Pistole did not specify how those accounts in Pakistan were funded. The FBI has estimated that the 9/11 attacks cost between $175,000 and $250,000, which paid for flight training, travel and other expenses. This money reportedly flowed to the hijackers through associates in Germany and the United Arab Emirates. Those associates reported to top Al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who managed much of the 9/11 planning from Pakistan, US officials said.
