Punjab Police arrested two cadres of the militant outfit Fazal Mehsud group in Lahore in Punjab on August 2. The Police said that the arrested militants belonged to the Fazal Mehsud group, which was involved in attacks on the worship places of the Ahmadis in the provincial metropolis. The arrested militants, based in Miran Shah, revealed that they were getting arms, ammunition and financial support from Afghanistan and Indian agents. During interrogation they also revealed that the group had prepared a list of 18 places in Lahore which they wanted to target in the near future. The Punjab Governor was on the top of their list as they had planned to blow the Governor’s House in their first attempt. The sources further revealed that the group had also dispatched two suicide bombers to attack PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif while it had a plan to attack the Jamia Al-Muntazir during the visit of Interior Minister Rehman Malik in October, 2010. As their fourth target, the militants had planned to attack the Weapon Depot of the Punjab Police at Thokar Niaz Baig where three bombs were to be planted.

Over ten terrorist outfits reunited on the intervention of certain high-profile jihadis (Holy War) belonging to various countries, Daily Times reported August 3, adding that the outfits were earlier divided and were carrying out their activities separately. The sources said this was decided in a high-profile meeting comprising prominent jihadis and leaders of small terrorist outfits in July in an area near Balochistan. They added that these outfits were divided for half a decade due to differences between their leaders and carried out terrorist acts separately in major cities of Sindh. The sources said during the meeting, the heads of all the outfits reconciled and agreed to work in collaboration with each other. They said that during the high-profile meeting, the terrorists also altered their modus operandi and decided to shift the strategic wings of their groups to Punjab from other parts of the country. According to the sources, these “strategic wings” would be shifted to different cities of the province, including Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan and Gujrat.

Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah on August 4 said that they wouldn’t prevent Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD)’s relief work as it may end up creating goodwill for it, reports Times of India. "It’s a delicate situation and authorities would tread carefully," he told Times of India from Lahore. "It would be impossible to stop anybody, even if he was associated with a banned organisation in the past from humanitarian work," he said and added that JuD chief Hafiz Saeed was under surveillance. The floods in Pakistan, which have left over 1,500 people dead, seem to have provided a new lease of life to JuD and its latest avatar, Falah-e-Insaniyat, which has pitched in with relief work. The banned organisation has carried out relief work in southern Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province with the authorities looking the other way. It had earlier carried out relief work during 2005 earthquake to galvanise support for ‘jihad’ (holy war) against India.

Other speakers included Sunni Tehreek Chief Sarwat Ijaz Qadri, Jamaat Ahle Sunnat Nazim Ala Riaz Hussain Shah, SIC General Secretary Hanif Tayyab and others also spoke.

The sources said law enforcers, following information revealed by arrested terrorists, had booked nine more terrorists from Shahdara, including Rana, Waqas alias Shah Jee and Hafeez, who were the main facilitators of the terrorists, and Rizwan, a would-be suicide bomber, allegedly involved in the attacks on Ahmedi worship places in Model Town and Garhi Shahu. During investigation, law enforcers also recovered a USB from the possession of one of the arrested terrorists that contained ‘important’ information. The sources said according to the data found in the USB, there are six more groups of terrorists hiding in Lahore, adding that law enforcers also found information about terrorists’ new modus operandi for carrying out their activities. They said in the USB, law enforcers also found the method of operating timed-devices with electricity poles to cause massive destruction. During investigation, it was also disclosed that the nine arrested terrorists had been involved in exploding NATO tankers a couple of months ago in Islamabad. The sources added that the terrorists were arrested by US forces in Afghanistan detained in the Shabarghan Jail from where they were handed over to Pakistani authorities and later released.

The Punjab Government on August 12 sought intelligence gadgets from Norway to counter terrorism, reports Dawn. A formal request to the effect was made by Provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah during his meeting with Norwegian Justice and Police Minister Terje Moland Pederson in Oslo, Norway. Pederson agreed to extend all out cooperation to the Punjab Government in this regard. Sanaullah apprised Pederson of the measures taken by the Punjab Government to combat terrorism and improve the policing system. Pederson said terrorism had become an international phenomenon rather than being a problem of any specific country and urged all nations to come forward to combat it. Also, the Norwegian Minister sought the Punjab Law Minister’s cooperation in provision of speedy justice in property and murder cases involving Norway-based Pakistanis in Pakistan.

On August 15 that Pakistan’s Inter-Services-Intelligence(ISI) have revealed that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Jandullah outfit and banned local militant outfits plan to target foreigners, embassies, Shia clerics and Imambargah in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Okara and Karachi. According to sources, the intelligence agencies have also warned of attacks on Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leaders at the party’s public meetings, district police lines, office of the divisional police officer (DPO). The TTP has tasked Abu Adil Mujahid to carry out the potential attacks, they added.

The report goes on to warn that a motorcycle owned by the Punjab Police Special Branch has also been stolen and it is feared that it might be used in a terrorist attack.

Sources reported that more than 300 hardliners and their mentors from various parts of the country have gathered across the provincial metropolis, acquiring houses in Afghan and Pashtun populated localities, sources told Daily Times, adding that several high-profile hardliners are also hiding in posh localities across the city. Intelligence personnel have informed Police high-ups that more than 100 individuals belonging to six different terrorist outfits entered the city and set up their residences in the past few months. “Due to the floods, a large number of hardliners also migrated to the provincial metropolis from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and from southern Punjab,” the sources said. The intelligence reports said that there are numerous Afghan nationals living across Islamabad, posing themselves as “Pakistani Pakhtoon” and “surprisingly” most of them also have Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs). “These Afghan nationals facilitate terrorists through their contacts and widespread business, and allow no one except Afghans to enter their inner circle,” the intelligence reports added. The intelligence reports declared the scrap market in Misri Shah in Lahore as the safest hub for hardliners across the provincial metropolis.

With the country reeling from the devastation of the worst floods in its history, President Asif Zardari warned on August 16 that if the political leadership failed to lead the nation, extremists and militants could step in to fill the vacuum, reports Dawn. Speaking at a dinner hosted in honour of the editors of prominent national dailies at the Presidency, Asif Zardari said the political leadership should not be afraid of leading the nation even if in doing so they attract criticism. Though the challenge thrown up by the natural calamity is unprecedented, the President voiced confidence that the whole nation along with all political groupings could rise together to overcome it. Briefing editors on the catastrophe, the president said that 71 Districts throughout the country had been hit by floods, including 24 in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, 19 in Sindh, eight in Punjab, seven in Azad Kashmir, seven in Gilgit-Baltistan and six in Balochistan. Close to 1,400 people have been killed, over 720,000 houses destroyed and over 1.2 million people adversely affected. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has suffered the most followed by Punjab and Sindh. Referring to United Nations (UN) Chief Ban Ki-Moon’s visit, Zardari said that the UN chief has himself witnessed the extent of damage to life, property and infrastructure during a tour of the flood affected areas. “He assured us of all-out support on behalf of the UN to cope with the catastrophe,” he added.

Appealing to the West for immediate help, President Asif Ali Zardari on August 19 expressed the fear that children of flood-affected people and orphans may end up at terrorist training camps, reports Daily Times. “We are giving them everything we’ve got.

For example, militants can take orphaned babies and put them in terror training camps,” the President said at a joint press conference with US Senator John Kerry after visiting flood-affected areas of Multan and Jampur. President Zardari urged the international community to help Pakistan in its hour of need so that the affected families could be enabled to stand on their own feet and not to fall prey to terrorist organisations.

Federal Government asked the provinces to initiate action against terrorist organisations, which are operating in the country under the guise of charity, reports Daily Times. The Government asked the respective Home Secretaries of all the provinces to constitute a task force headed by a DIG to identity such elements and initiate action against the charity organisations, which had been banned by the Government. The proscribed organisations or terrorist outfits would not be allowed to operate in the country under the garb of charity, the Government said. Interior Minister Senator Rehman Malik chaired a meeting at the Interior Ministry to review the law and order. He told the participants of the meeting that the Government had noticed that all terrorist outfits were likely to involve themselves in charity work in the flood-affected areas.

The lack of global response in flood hit Pakistan opens up room for militant and religious outfits to intervene. The gap is being filled by religious organisations that are ready to provide the people with food and funds too. “We are the people of Pakistan and the masses trust us. We have sympathisers and volunteers in all parts of the country and will not leave our people in their hour of need,” a Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD) volunteer said. It is a fact that, if the world community does not come out to rehabilitate the affected people, the terrorists will come in and that will certainly damage not only the war on terrorism, but the attempts to weaken militancy in the northern and under-developed areas of the country.
