An Anti Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi on July 1 indicted nine activists of the proscribed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-alami (HuMA) for their involvement in the Macedonian consulate bomb blast case. According to prosecution, the accused killed three persons on December 5, 2002, in premises of the Macedonian consulate in Karachi and later blasted the office with explosives. The accused were reportedly arrested in March 2004 following raids conducted at Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Clifton areas in Karachi and during interrogation they admitted their involvement in the case as they intended to take revenge over the killing of eight Pakistanis at Macedonian border in March 2002. The Macedonian police on May 1, 2004, had acknowledged that the killing of Pakistanis was staged to win United States’ support and that the victims were innocent illegal immigrants.

The Karachi Police were placed on a high security alert on July 4 in pursuit of two suicide-bomber sisters who are planning to launch strikes on Government targets, reported The Nation. Police launched a hunt in the city for the two sisters, aged between 18 and 20 years, following the disclosure by an arrested sectarian terrorist that they have been trained for suicide missions, police chief Tariq Jamil told AFP. "There is high alert in the city due to July 4 (US Independence Day), and though there is no specific threat we have been alerted by a militant, Gul Hasan, during interrogation that two of his cousins trained as suicide bombers will strike any day," said Jamil. Hasan, affiliated to the proscribed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), was arrested in connection with the two suicide bomb attacks on a Shia mosque in May 2004 in which at least 50 people died. Hasan is alleged to have told investigators that he had motivated his two female cousins to become suicide bombers. "My senior members will give them the target, which could either be a Shia gathering of women, any police station or any official ceremony," Hasan was quoted as telling his interrogators.

The Federal Government is reported to have arrived at a five-point agreement with four tribes in Shakai, South Waziristan, on July 5. The tribes have promised to support the Federal Government against foreign terrorists and their local patrons. Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) security chief, Brig (retd) Mehmood Shah, told Daily Times that with the signing of the agreement, the situation in Shakai was under total control. He said Chief Administrator Asmatullah Gandapur signed the deal on the Government’s behalf while former federal minister Faridullah Khan represented the Shakai tribes. Under the agreement, the Sperkai, Shudyakai, Khunyakhel and Khojelkhel sub-tribes pledged that they would not allow foreigners in their areas, would hand over the wanted tribesmen and protect army and government officials. This was the second Shakai Agreement after the April 24 deal between the army and Nek Muhammad, the tribal militant leader, who was killed during the June 17 missile attack in Wana.
