The LTTE said that the only way to halt the violence in the country is to confine the military to barracks. The political wing leader of the outfit, S.P. Thamilselvan, said Reuters in an interview, "The activities of the military over the civilian population are exactly as it was during war time. I believe the only way to stop violence is to restrain the military in its barracks…. Armed groups operating with the military, and assisting the military in creating this terror-filled, violent environment, must be disarmed and their operations in the Tamil homeland must be stopped." He added, “Aerial bombardment, artillery shelling, deep penetration attacks by the Sri Lankan army inside the Tamil homeland, civilians disappearing, families being murdered en-masse ... as we read the situation, the government is readying for a full scale war. The only way to bring an end to the current violence is to implement the ceasefire agreement immediately." He also said, "We can re-examine our position when the EU countries change their position and accept parity of status and neutrality in relation to the two parties in the peace efforts. While the EU announcement is in place, their presence in SLMM will only create confusion about the peace efforts and operations of the SLMM."

The arrested persons, including one electronics engineer educated in United States, claimed themselves to be members of Tablighi Jamaat, a conservative Islamist missionary group, reports Tripurainfo. “It is a queer mixture of 18 years old fruit seller to 33 years old USA educated electronics engineer. We have strong reasons to suspect that they were here with something more sinister design. With their background, present occupation and activities we cannot rule out that they might have been engaged in assessment and evaluate Muslim youths in the border areas to create a network for far greater Islamic operations”, said the Director General of Police of Tripura, G.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, said that the serial blasts in Mumbai were carried out by terrorists with support from across the border, according to The Hindu. He further warned Pakistan that it would be difficult to carry forward the peace process if it did not control terrorist elements operating from its territory. Prime Minister said, “I have explained it to the government of Pakistan at the highest level that if the acts of terrorism are not controlled, it is exceedingly difficult for any government to carry forward what may be called as normalisation and peace process." Commenting on whether talks on confidence-building measures with Pakistan will continue, he added, “Pakistan, in 2004, had solemnly given an assurance that Pakistani territory will not be used to promote, encourage, aid and abet terrorist elements directed against India. That assurance has to be fulfilled before the peace process or other processes can make progress.”

Senior Maoist leaders and political party representatives held talks in Kathmandu on July 14, and agreed to convert the existing House of Representatives (HoR) into an interim parliament by inducting more members. The interim parliament will be officially decided on at the second round of "summit talks" scheduled for July 21. Maoist Chairman Prachanda said the talks were successful in resolving the confusion that surfaced after the signing of the eight-point agreement on June 16. "The talks have brought about a conducive environment," Prachanda said, adding that "illusions and suspicions [over the eight-point deal] have been eliminated." Jhalanath Khanal, a CPN-UML leader who participated in the talks, said the Maoists were "not negative" about the parties' proposal on inducting some outside members (reference to Maoist members) into the existing HoR. "There was a general consensus to have an 'interim parliament'. But nothing was decided on its modalities," Khanal said.

The Sri Lankan Government categorically declared that it will not attempt to disarm the LTTE breakaway faction led by ‘Colonel’ Karuna, because it does not want to get entangled in another war. The Defence Spokesperson, Keheliya Rambukwella, said that if the LTTE expects us to hunt down the Karuna faction, that's not possible at this stage simply because we will then have two wars to fight in the country, one with the LTTE the other with Karuna. He, however, assured that the Government was taking all steps to maintain law and order and the Karuna faction or any other armed group will be strictly dealt with. He said, "We cannot take chances, although the most prudent thing to do is to negotiate for a peaceful settlement. But we must keep in mind that we are dealing with one of the most ruthless internationalised terrorist organizations. We have to be prepared even for the worst because we are responsible for 19.5 million people and the assets of this country."

On July 21, India asked Pakistan to hand over Syed Salahuddin of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and the underworld don Dawood Ibrahim as proof of its cooperation in the battle against terror. A statement by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said though India gave Pakistan details of terror groups and individuals during the Home Secretary-level talks in May, no action was taken so far. However, India would continue to provide Pakistan with all possible evidence of terror activity, the MEA spokesman said. He further said, If Pakistan really wanted to convince the Indian people that it was taking action against terrorists, some steps had to be taken immediately. Also, Islamabad could ban the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the parent wing of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and arrest its leader, the spokesman said.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) political wing leader, S.P.

He reiterated that the deadline issued by the outfit till September 1, 2006 with regard to the removal of the three officials from the EU countries from the SLMM would remain unchanged. He also called for the Sri Lankan Government to remove all armed forces from civilian areas and begin ‘to fully implement the cease-fire agreement (CFA)”. The peace process and the CFA are based on the parties having parity of status and the international community could make “genuine efforts” in moving the peace process forward, stated Thamilselvan. He claimed that the All Party Conference created by the Government was “merely a strategy using delaying tactics to mislead the international community”.

Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) and Foreign Minister KP Sharma Oli has ruled out the possibility of forming an interim government until the Maoist arms were managed, reports Nepal News. Speaking at a programme in Pokhara on July 22, Oli said, "the interim government will not be formed immediately after the UN takes charge of the arms management process." He alleged that formatting of interim government was being delayed as the Maoist leaders were busy making political speeches. On the arms management, he said that once the United Nations began the arms management, the weapons of the Nepal Army would be kept in the barracks, while the Maoists’ arms would be collected at one place and kept under UN supervision. “The government removed the red corner notice against the Maoist leaders and released the Maoist detainees. Maoists are now free to stage political programmes. But the rebels have not stopped abduction or extortion,” Oli added.

Reuters has reported that Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) conducted air strike, using Kfir fighter jets, on known LTTE targets in the general areas (areas under Government control) of Verugal in the Trincomalee district where the outfit were keeping the sluice gate closed without allowing water to flow into thousands of Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamil villages since July 20. The SLAF spokesperson, Group Captain Ajantha Silva, said, "The government want to send irrigation engineers to the location. That is why we have taken action against identified rebel targets in that area. It was an aerial bombing raid." The Government accused the outfit of blocking water supplies to farmland in Trincomalee, where the Government and outfit both control territory. A Government statement, referring to the air raids, said the "limited operation" was conducted purely on "humanitarian grounds" to neutralize the disruptive forces it said were preventing free flow of water to over 15,000 families. However, S. Elilan, a top LTTE leader in Trincomalee, blaming the military, stated that Sri Lankan air force jets struck three times, wounding two civilians and destroying two houses. He added that the outfit suffered no casualties.

The Media Centre for National Security stated, “This morning the security forces conducted a limited air operation against this air facility. The operation was conducted to prevent the construction of this unauthorized air facility which poses a grave security threat not only to the sovereignty of Sri Lanka but to the entire region.” The outfit sources confirmed the air attack but made no mention of the airstrip being bombed, claiming that bombs were dropped “from high altitude near a civilian settlement”.

Tensions remained high over the LTTE’s forced closure of the water supply from the Mawilaru Anicut (irrigation channel) to the Seruwila, Muttur and Ichalampattu areas in the Trincomalee district since July 20. Several hundreds of villagers and farmers affected in the water blockade episode joined a massive protest on July 27 evening demanding the LTTE to immediately release water along the canal. The Government Peace Secretariat said, “The LTTE’s forcible closure of this water supply in an area until recently controlled by the Government is a hostile act committed against the civilian population in contravention of the Ceasefire Agreement.” Meanwhile, the LTTE justified their action by claiming that the Sri Lankan Government did not uphold a promise to build a water tower to serve outfit-controlled areas. "We don't see any logic for this kind of aerial bombardment. It is an act of war," said outfit’s military spokesperson Ilanthiraiyan.

Noor Illahi alias Tipu, a top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre on whose disclosures two Police constables and three Army personnel were taken into custody for their Lashkar connections, made a revelation during his questioning that the terrorists were collecting SIM cards of Bharat Sanchar Nagar Limited (BSNL) and Airtel not for communication network but to use them as ‘mobile bombs’. Several such ‘mobile bombs’ were already in the possession of LeT militants, Tipu said during his interrogation by police. The ‘mobile bomb’, which hasn’t been used by the militants anywhere in the State so far, will explode as soon as a ring is given on its number from another telephone, Tipu said during his questioning.

The National Security Adviser M. K. Narayanan said on July 28 that Indian security and nuclear installations are under "very serious threat" from Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) that may be planning a "major assault". In an interview to CNN-IBN he said, "At the moment, we have at least two or three serious threats... There is information that maybe one of our atomic installations could be the target, " adding, "it’s LeT operation... It is a very serious threat." He added that LeT was far greater threat than Al Qaeda due to its greater reach and said, "LeT is an integral part of Al Qaeda but sometimes it becomes even bigger because of its contacts. We have not come across their involvement in the US but in Europe and Asia, they are very active". Narayanan said there were inputs from intelligence agencies that LeT was devoting a great deal of effort to selecting people who were educated and tech savvy. On speculation that LeT may have infiltrated the armed forces, he said "there is a concern...They are not doing small jobs but thinking of bigger jobs. So, if there is an infiltration whether it is armed forces or sensitive areas of bureaucracy, it is a matter of concern".

Finland on July 28 announced that it will withdraw its observers from the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM), given the security situation on the ground, said the Finnish Foreign Ministry said. Its mission desk officer, Marita Maunola, told international media, “Based on the fact that the LTTE are not going to guarantee the monitors' safety after September 1, we will recall our observers by then.” Finland is the first of three European Union (EU) countries - Denmark, Finland and Sweden - to announce a pullout from the Swedish-led SLMM. Hours later, Denmark said it would also pull out its 12 monitors. As reported earlier, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) called for the removal of monitors from EU countries after the EU listed the outfit as a terrorist organization in May, claiming these monitors can no longer observe the Sri Lankan cease-fire agreement impartially.

The Sri Lanka Air Force carried out four air strikes on LTTE targets in Pudukuruppu, Mullaitivu, Verugal and one other LTTE-controlled area and subsequently the troops were clearing the areas till the reports last came in. The Sri Lankan defence spokesperson, Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, said air force jets pounded outfit positions in the area to weaken the insurgents, adding, "There is a plan designed by the military to achieve the target, which is to supply water to the civilians.” He reiterated that air and land strikes will continue until the Mavil Aru sluice is saved from the outfit. Further, according to reports the LTTE cadres in un-cleared areas (area not under government control) of Mavil Aru opened fire towards a school compound and two villages in the Kallar area in an attempt to stop the Government’s efforts to reopen the sluice gates kept closed by the outfit blocking water supply along the Mavil Aru since July 20.

Chief of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) Major General Ulf Henricsson said that the four-year-old CFA is dead and far from a real cease-fire. In an interview with a news agency, Henricsson said, “In reality [the LTTE and Sri Lanka government] more or less have terminated the ceasefire agreement in their actions.” Asked whether the war will resume, he said, “I don't think either side has the capacity for a full-scale war. They definitely could continue and maybe increase the violence. There is also a risk that violence will spread, for example to Colombo, if they don't take care of the situation.”

The Sri Lanka Government stated on July 30 that its troops had advanced towards Mavilaru reservoir, shut down by the LTTE since July 20, in the Verugal area of Trincomalee district. The Government's defense spokesperson and Minister of Policy Planning Keheliya Rambukwella said that the troops advancement were hampered by land mines and because the outfit cadres had positioned themselves on high ground. He also said that air force planes bombed outfit positions in the area of the water blockade as the troops came under LTTE mortar fire. The air strike started on July 26. Meanwhile, the Trincomalee district leader of the LTTE, S. Elilan, denying the military claim that the Government troops have entered the outfit region and is 700 meters away from the reservoir, which is in outfit held area, said that the troops had not entered the LTTE-controlled area yet.

The Trincomalee district political wing leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), S. Elilan, reportedly stated that Sri Lanka's four-year cease-fire agreement (CFA) is now void and the country’s two-decade civil war is back on. He told Reuters on July 30, "The cease-fire agreement has become null and void at the moment," adding Government troops were continuing an advance towards their forward defence line in the east in a water supply dispute. "The war is on and we are ready. The war has begun. It is the government which has started the war... Militarily we have decided to fight back if the Sri Lankan army enters our area,” said Elilan. He added, "It is now appropriate for the SLMM to declare publicly that the ceasefire agreement is not holding anymore on the ground."

The 24-member National Monitoring Committee on Code of Conduct for Ceasefire (NMCC) on July 31 made public its first "observation" report on the 25-point cease-fire code of conduct signed by the Government and Maoists on May 18. The NMCC concluded that the separate letters written by the Government and Maoists to the UN seeking its help in the management of arms was against the spirit of the 12-point understanding and clause 3 of the code of conduct. It said the Government also violated the agreement by unilaterally writing the letter to the UN. The report has pointed out that some of the industries have not resumed full operation due to pressure from the trade unions of the Maoists and other political parties. It said local Maoist cadres were found to be reluctant in returning individual property they had seized and were not prepared to create an environment for the displaced to return home.

He also said that the cease-fire monitors could not enforce the cease-fire agreement (CFA) but only observe it, and both the Government and LTTE have committed to uphold the truce.
