Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on December 8 declared General (Retd) Pervez Musharraf absconder due to his continuous disappearance in the judges' detention case, reports Daily Times. The Police submitted report with ATC regarding implementation of arrest warrants for the former President. Inspector Yaseen Bhutta informed the court that Musharraf had left the country due to which the warrants couldn't be implemented. However, the counsel for the accused contradicted the statement and said that his client was abroad to get medical treatment. He said Musharraf couldn't attend the proceeding due to security reasons and health problems. Prosecutor Aamir Nadeem requested the court to declare former president absconder due to his disappearance from the court proceedings in the case. Musharraf, who is facing a number of cases including the Abdul Rasheed Ghazi murder case, Benazir Bhutto murder case and high treason case, left for Dubai on March 18, hours after the interior ministry issued a notification, to remove his name from the Exit Control List (ECL). He had already been declared an "absconder" in the Lal Masjid and high treason case and the court had seized his property due to his non-appearance. The judges' detention case was registered by the Secretariat Police Station on August 11, 2009, on the complaint of Advocate Aslam Ghumman, who had sought legal proceedings against the former military ruler for confining 60 judges of the superior courts, for over five months at their homes and restraining them from administering justice.

The Foreign Office (FO) dismissed on December 22 Pentagon’s latest assessment that the Taliban and Haqqani network were freely operating from Pakistan and instead accused Afghanistan of being an epicentre of terrorism in the region, reports Dawn. “This is more of a rhetoric than anything else. Afghanistan is infested with most terrorist organisations due to the instability there, which has created space for these terrorist elements,” Foreign Office Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said.He was reacting to the recent biannual report of the US Department of Defence on security and stability situation in Afghanistan, which had said: “Afghan-oriented militant groups, including Taliban and Haqqani network’s senior leadership, retain freedom of action from safe havens inside Pakistani territory. The United States continues to be clear with Pakistan about steps it should take to improve the security environment and deny safe havens to terrorist and extremist groups.” Mr Zakaria recalled the counterterrorism operations undertaken by Pakistani security forces in the tribal areas, which had restored peace there. But he also acknowledged that a large number of terrorists had moved to Afghanistan after the start of the operations.
