According to Asia Pulse, Australia has re-listed six groups as terrorist organisations, warning that anyone associated with them faces up to 25 years in jail. Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock, named the six organisations as Lashkar-e Jhangvi (LeJ), Jaish-e-Mohammad, both Pakistan-based and Asbat al-Ansar, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and the Islamic Army of Aden. The six groups were originally listed as terrorist organisations in April 2003, but Australian laws provide that the listing of a terrorist organisation expires after two years. "The government has decided to re-list these groups as I continue to be satisfied on reasonable grounds that they are directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act," said Ruddock.

Spanish authorities have reportedly charged 11 Pakistani nationals over suspected links with Al Qaeda operatives who carried out the Madrid train bombings in March 2004 which killed nearly 200 people. One of the eleven, Shahzad Ali Gujar, is suspected of having transferred funds to Al Qaeda cadres, including Amjad Farooki, whom Pakistani security forces killed during September 2004 and who was implicated in the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. According to Dawn, investigators believe Al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan received some 800,000 euros ($1 million) in funds from Spain. Mohamed Afzaal, believed to have headed the Pakistani cell in question, is suspected of sending money in September 2004 to Rabei Ousman Sayed Ahmed alias "Mohammed the Egyptian", who is currently in custody on suspicion of involvement in the train bombings. Two of the eleven, Gujar and Adnan Aslam, are suspected to have met "Mohammed the Egyptian" in Brescia, Italy, in May 2003. Gujar is also suspected of having met Othman el Gnaout, another suspect in the Madrid bombing, three days before the attack, while he is additionally suspected of meeting Saed el Harrak, also in Spanish detention, the day after the blasts. The judge overseeing the case is reported to have said that "a group was constituted in Barcelona with a view to supporting global jihad from Spanish territory (via) the financing of concrete terrorist acts and people recruited to carry them out."

On April 14, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee while accusing Pakistan of having "double standards" on terrorism said that the terrorist infrastructure in that country was still intact despite the thaw in bilateral ties. "Pakistan is having double standards on terrorism as on one side it is saying something else and on the other it is abetting terrorism in the name of religion in J and K," the Defence Minister said in Chandigarh. Crediting the security forces for the decline in infiltration in Jammu and Kashmir, he, however, said a large number of terrorists were still present at "launching pads" waiting for an opportunity to cross over. "Infiltration attempts are still on and the terrorists are being given special training to negotiate the border fence," he said while addressing a seminar on "Peace Perspectives in South and South East Asia - Challenges and Opportunities" at the Punjab University.

While ruling out a "military option" for resolution of the Kashmir "dispute," Pakistan’s President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, proposed settlement of the issue on the basis of three principles and warned that the issue could flare up again if not resolved permanently. During a breakfast meeting with senior editors in New Delhi on April 18, Gen. Musharraf also refused to set a time-frame for the resolution of the Kashmir "dispute" but said it had to be resolved in a "reasonable time." "There is no guarantee of a permanent solution unless we resolve the basic dispute. It can erupt again under a different environment and different leadership. An agreement means nothing in a different environment. We have to resolve the Kashmir dispute amicably between India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir," the President said in the hour-long interaction. Advocating an "out of box" solution without any "rigid time-frame," Gen. Musharraf reportedly said that he had achieved more than what he expected as both sides had shown flexibility in their approach, including on the Kashmir issue.

Pakistani investigators have reportedly found a definite and irrevocable link between a Muslim charity and one of the four suspects believed to be involved in the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in February 2002. According to Daily Times, a ‘Trust Deed’, retrieved from at least two banks where the Al-Akhtar Trust International, outlawed by the American Treasury Department in 2003 for having links with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, has it accounts, shows that Saud Memon is one of the eleven trustees of the trust. Memon, an industrialist, had been named by several arrested members of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-Almi (HuMA) as their chief financial supporter. His date of birth, father’s name and his citizenship (National Identity Card number) were reportedly identical on the CID Red Book and the Trust Deed. Subsequent to Pearl’s murder, the police had sealed Memon’s residence in Karachi, where he also ran his garment business. Saud Memon remains one of the key suspects still at large in the Daniel Pearl murder case. According to the CID Red Book updated in December 2004, Memon was responsible for receiving funds from the Al Qaeda and distributing them among almost all Jehadi outfits operating in Pakistan.

King Gyanendra while stating he was ‘‘disappointed’’ by the strong international opposition to his February 1 move claimed that ‘‘extreme situations require extreme measures’’ as Nepal was going through difficult times. In his first-ever interview with the foreign media after taking over power, the King told Time magazine that he was "disappointed" because the objective of the February 1 move was to fight for democracy against terrorism. According to him, "Our friends must tell us whether this is incorrect or help us in this cause... I am saddened by our friends that curbed much-needed assistance. They feel it will be used against democratic forces. That lopsided opinion has not been thought through." King Gyanendra also said Nepal could not afford the conflict anymore and added, "Democracy is here to stay. (That) commitment is something a King has made to his people. But undisciplined freedom has nearly brought about the end of democracy. Why is it, when we talk of freedom, that everyone forgets their duty to the nation?"

Sources said it was for the first time that a terrorist publication had been proscribed by the PoK Government during the last 15 years. The TuM, led by Sheikh Jamilur Rehman, had been publishing the magazine for the last eight years from Muzaffarabad, capital of the PoK. Sources added that the magazine in its recent issue published a few articles on the recent visit of US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, the split in the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and the role of Pakistan, India, and the US in starting the Muzaffarabad-Srinagar bus service and had condemned these Governments along with the PoK Government. The magazine was especially critical of Pakistan’s policy on Kashmir. Interior Ministry of the PoK Government reportedly notified the ban on the basis that such articles could promote sectarianism in the region.

"The Government is not interested in using weapons. They (the Naxalites) are our brothers and sisters and we know that this is a socio-economic problem than one of law and order. We can solve this problem through dialogue and discussions. But when the talks are taking place, if some people move about with arms and terrorise people, that is not correct," the Home Minister said. He also indicated that Naxalite activities in Karnataka have not increased as much as in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.

The United Jehad Council (UJC), an umbrella organisation of all Pakistan-based Jehadi groups, has reportedly said that militant organisations will not give up their weapons till Jammu and Kashmir is freed from Indian rule. UJC Chairman Syed Salahuddin told Daily Times on April 24 that people suggesting times had changed and the role of the gun in liberation movements after 9/11 had ended were living in a "fools’ paradise". "Let me make it clear that nobody will lay down his or her weapon till Kashmir is liberated," he added. Certain conditions would have to be met if, at any stage, President Pervez Musharraf or any other dignitary called for a cease-fire for a certain period to facilitate the current composite dialogue process with India, Salahuddin said. According to him, "Firstly, UJC leaders will consider the ceasefire call, secondly, the Indian government has to admit that Jammu and Kashmir is disputed territory and thirdly, the demand for the release of Kashmiri prisoners from Indian jails and an end to military operations and atrocities by the Indian Army will have to be met."

The United Jehad Council (UJC), an umbrella organisation of all Pakistan-based Jehadi groups, has reportedly said that militant organisations will not give up their weapons till Jammu and Kashmir is freed from Indian rule. UJC Chairman Syed Salahuddin told Daily Times on April 24 that people suggesting times had changed and the role of the gun in liberation movements after 9/11 had ended were living in a "fools’ paradise". "Let me make it clear that nobody will lay down his or her weapon till Kashmir is liberated," he added. Certain conditions would have to be met if, at any stage, President Pervez Musharraf or any other dignitary called for a cease-fire for a certain period to facilitate the current composite dialogue process with India, Salahuddin said. According to him, "Firstly, UJC leaders will consider the ceasefire call, secondly, the Indian government has to admit that Jammu and Kashmir is disputed territory and thirdly, the demand for the release of Kashmiri prisoners from Indian jails and an end to military operations and atrocities by the Indian Army will have to be met."

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has said it opposes the proposed joint mechanism between the Government and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as the latter had neither given up its separatist agenda nor taken the path to democracy. "Without an assurance by the LTTE in word and deed" that it would end child recruitment, stop political killings, end abduction of rivals and pave the way for "free and fair elections in the north and east," the JVP "will not agree to any programme" with the Tigers, JVP leader, Somawansa Amarasinghe, stated at a press conference in Colombo on April 26. The JVP termed the proposed joint mechanism "a bridge" to a rebel demand for regional self-governance and held out a caution that the current path adopted by the international community would "pave the way for a one-party rule, dictatorship and isolation of Tamil people in the north-east and another war."
