At least three persons were killed and 34 others injured in a powerful bomb explosion allegedly triggered by the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) inside a Government-run, Bombay Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) bus at Ghatkopar in Mumbai, Maharashtra, on July 28. Unconfirmed reports have put the death toll at five. While the use of high-intensity gelatin sticks to trigger the blast is being suspected, the Police Commissioner R S Sharma, however, said that the nature of the explosive used is not yet clear. The police also suspect that SIMI was being instigated by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to carry out terrorist strikes. Earlier, on December 2, 2002, two persons were killed and 31 more injured in a similar explosion near the Ghatkopar railway station.

Media reports of July 30 said that the Mumbai police were searching for two suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists– Abdul Rehman and Rawal– and Nisar Ahmed alias Janab, a cadre of the Ahle-Hadees, an Islamist extremist group allegedly linked to a Saudi Arabia-based Wahabi sect, for their suspected involvement in the July 29 bomb blast at Ghatkopar. Three persons were killed and 47 others injured in the incident when an explosive went off inside a Government-run bus. According to police, terrorists are using the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadres to carry out such strikes after training them in the use of explosives and firearms at an unidentified place in Maharashtra. The police also allege that while the two LeT terrorists had provided funds for the strike, the Ahle-Hadees cadre was involved in training Islamist cadres in subversive activities. The Ahle-Hadees cadre, Ahmed is also wanted in connection with the Mulund bomb blast case of March 13 in which 12 persons were killed and 71 others injured. He was also earlier allegedly linked to Jalees Ansari, a terrorist suspected to have masterminded approximately 60 bomb blasts in various parts of the country.

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.
