The abducted Indian Forest Service official, D Sathyen, was released unharmed in the South Garo Hills district of Meghalaya on July 2 after about a fortnight amidst claims by the State Government that no ransom had been paid to the abductors, according to Assam Tribune. Sathyen, who is in-charge of Balpakram National Park, was escorted back to the Divisional Forest Officer's office at Baghmara in the South Garo Hills district, said Principal Chief Conservator of Forests V K Nautiyal. Sathyen's wife, an employee of State Bank of Travancore at Kochi in the State of Kerala, had appealed to the abductors through e-mail to free him, saying her family would not be able to pay the ransom demanded for his release. Director General of Police L Sailo told Press Trust of India in the capital Shillong that "I do not think any ransom was paid for Sathyen's release." He added that despite the Achik National Volunteers' Council (ANVC) disclaimer, it was believed that the banned outfit was "very much responsible".

The Union Government said on July 2 that a cease-fire call by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) will be a "welcome step." "If they (militants) announce ceasefire, well it is a welcome step. Let them say it," Home Minister Shivraj Patil said during an interview in New Delhi. He was responding to a query whether the new Government will initiate a cease-fire in J&K on the lines of the announcement made by the previous Government during Ramzan period two years ago. Further, while stating that talks with the separatists could not go beyond the framework of the Indian Constitution, Patil added "the Centre is willing to talk to anybody who is willing to talk to us but with preparation. Without preparation if you jump into it (talks), nothing comes out." The Home Minister also observed that there has been no escalation in violence in J&K going by the feedback the Government has received. According to him, "incidents have taken place but if you take sum total... I don’t think there is a scope to come to the conclusion that there has been an escalation."

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.

According to Daily Star, ten prominent politicians, 22 journalists and a number of intellectuals have received death threats on July 11 from an Islamist militant outfit, Mujahideen al-Islam, which accuses them of acting against Islam and its efforts to turn Bangladesh into an Islamic state of Pakistan. One of the outfit’s leaders, Maulana Patowary, reportedly issued the threat in a circular distributed among the organisation members. Patowary termed the politicians as prime enemies of Islam and blamed them for constituting a tough barrier to reinstituting Pakistan. "These sinners are the foremost ones among those the Quran ordains to kill," he stated. Similar death threats had been sent to 22 journalists two days ago and three Dhaka University teachers two weeks back. He also claimed that Islamist organisations, including Hizbut Tahrir, Harkatul Jihad and Al Qaeda, have the photos and addresses of these politicians and announced his target to hoist the flags of Islam and Pakistan soaked in their blood.

The former ‘Special Commander’ of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias ‘Colonel’ Karuna, said on July 11 that he would launch a political party "within a month" and alleged his former leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, was pursuing a war strategy. In a telephonic interview with the BBC Tamil Service - the first since he left his eastern base in April 2004 - Karuna also claimed that he had personally given an arms procurement list to the LTTE chief for arms procurement, Kumaran Pathmanathan, during his travels to Thailand as a member of the outfit’s peace negotiating team. He also warned that the eastern people would "rise in revolt" against Prabhakaran, if they were "continued to be tested." While claiming that he was in the eastern Batticaloa district, Karuna "completely rejected" the contention that he and his supporters were behind the killings of LTTE cadres in eastern Sri Lanka. He also rejected as "completely false" charges that the Army Intelligence was supporting him.

The visiting US Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, said in New Delhi on July 14 that the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan still exists and stressed that infiltration, which continues, should end. "Clearly, all the infrastructure that supports cross-border terrorism has not been dismantled… Some has been dismantled," Armitage said at a press conference when asked whether the US was convinced that Pakistan had dismantled the terrorist infrastructure existing on its soil. On infiltration, he said "any level of infiltration is too much from our point of view. There is infiltration. You get various opinions here about whether it is up or down. It is down probably. But the point is not to have it at all." On the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, he said, after a meeting with Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, that "people are still dying. It is not acceptable." During his day-long visit, Armitage also had meetings with External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and the National Security Adviser J N Dixit.

Pakistan has reportedly asked the United States for more intelligence to help its forces neutralise top Al Qaeda terrorists believed to be hiding near the Afghan border. Federally Administered Tribal Areas Secretary, Brig. Mehmood Shah, said he had no specific information about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden or his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri. "We haven't got any intelligence," he told Reuters. "In fact, we are asking our friends, the Americans, if they have any from the satellites, because they have better capabilities. I think they have not been able to give us that," said Shah. He also added that a group of 100 to 150 foreign terrorists were holed up in the mountains near Shakai, South Waziristan.

A media report indicated that on July 14 the High Court (HC) of Lisbon, Portugal, has ordered the extradition of Monica Bedi, associate of Indian mafia don Abu Salem, an accused in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. The Indian Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) petition seeking directions to keep Bedi in custody till her extradition trial was also accepted by the HC. The order was communicated to the CBI officially on July 16 by authorities in Lisbon. The HC had ordered her extradition in November 2003, which was, however, challenged by Bedi in the Supreme Court, which sent the case back to the former asking it to give a reasoned order as to why she should be extradited. She is currently serving a two-year jail term awarded by a lower Portuguese court on charges of entering the country on a forged document and continuing to use the same for stay in that country. Monica Bedi and Abu Salem were arrested by the Lisbon police on September 18, 2002.

On July 21, the Andhra Pradesh Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy, announced that the ban on the left-wing extremist (also known as Naxalite) outfit, the People’s War Group (PWG), and its six frontal organizations - Radical Students Union, Radical Youth League, Singareni Karmika Samakhya, All India Revolutionary Students Federation, Dandakaranya Adivasi Kissan Mazdoor Sanghatan and Andhra Pradesh Rythu Coolie Sangham - has been allowed to lapse. The Government has decided not to extend the ban, due to expire on July 22, as a prelude to direct talks with PWG representatives, the minister added. Before the announcement, Home Minister Reddy reportedly consulted the PWG emissaries — Gaddar, Varavara Rao and Kalyan Rao — and the mediators named by the Government — K.G. Kannabiran, S.R. Sankaran, Potturi Venkateswara Rao, A.B.K. Prasad, Keshav Rao Jadhav, Bojja Tarakam and S. Seshaiah. The Home Minister also informed that the modalities and other logistics for talks would be finalised in two or three days and made public. The ban on the PWG was first imposed on May 21, 1992, by the Congress Government led by N. Janardhan Reddy. It was lifted on June 21, 1995, by N. T. Rama Rao after the Telugu Desam Party returned to power. It was reimposed by his successor, N. Chandrababu Naidu, on July 22, 1996.

According to a July 25 report in Kuensel, national security remained high on the agenda of the National Assembly in Thimphu as members urged the Government to maintain a high alert along the southern border, particularly in the aftermath of the military operations that took place in December 2003. The Speaker of the National Assembly, Dasho Ugen Dorje, also noted the concern raised by the Bumthang chimi (local representative) that about 2,000 people from the refugee camps in Nepal had joined the Maoists and had entered India and they might try to create problems for Bhutan. However, he expressed satisfaction as these people could not enter Bhutan directly and must come through India, and so the risk was not as serious as might seem to the members. The Prime Minister, Lyonpo Jigmi Thinley, reportedly said that military camps had been established across the length of the southern border with 175 officers and 5,000 troops deployed for security duty between Sibsoo and Daifam.

In a new videotape sent to Al-Jazeera on July 28, the men said they had carried out their threat, the station reported. Both Pakistanis were working for the Kuwait-based al-Tamimi group in Baghdad.

According to Daily News, 34 child soldiers were released to the UNICEF-supported transit centre in Kilinochchi on July 30 by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). "UNICEF welcomes the release of these children… All of these children will go home soon and we are very glad to assist them in reuniting with their families," said Geoffrey Keele, UNICEF spokesperson in Sri Lanka. UNICEF also said the LTTE has continued to recruit children across the North and East despite having made a commitment to put an end to this practice. "Over the past three months, recruitment of children by the LTTE has continued despite commitments the organisation made to cease all underage conscription. This is simply unacceptable and all recruitment must cease now," Keele stated.
