The Union Government is reported to have warned to scrap the extension of cease-fire with the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) following its suspected involvement in the abduction and subsequent killing of six persons including five security force (SF) personnel, along the India-Bhutan border, according to Telegraph. While the civilian was found dead at Udalguri district of Assam, the place of abduction, on May 22, the dead bodies of SF personnel were recovered at Belsiri Nala under Bhairabkunda police outpost in the dense jungle of West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Assam and Bhutan, on May 29. Meanwhile, the Union Government reportedly agreed, in its first round of talks with NDFB at New Delhi on May 27, to extend the truce that was signed with the outfit on May 25, 2005. According to the source in the Assam Chief Minister’s Office, which communicated the Union Government’s warning to the outfit, “Delhi has made it clear that it will do everything for peace but reckless acts will not be tolerated. It has also asked the outfit to keep a close watch on mischief-mongers in its ranks. Otherwise the ceasefire will be reviewed.”

Three terrorists were shot dead on June 1-morning during an abortive attempt to storm the headquarters of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindu organization, at Nagpur in Maharashtra. Police said the terrorists, suspected to be from the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), attempted to drive a white Ambassador car, fitted with a red command-light, towards the building shortly before dawn. When guards at the perimeter of the three-level security cordon flagged down the car, its driver attempted to crash through the barriers. RSS chief K.S. Sudarshan and other top functionaries were not present in the building at the time of the attack, according to The Hindu. The Mumbai-based Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had information about the attack on the RSS headquarters in Nagpur and tipped off the Nagpur police about the same, which helped foil the attack, Times of India reported. ATS chief, Inspector-General of Police, K. P. Raghuvanshi, said, "We informed the Nagpur police." Deputy Chief Minister R. R. Patil told reporters that security at the RSS premises was then beefed up and RSS functionaries were warned about a possible attack. Meanwhile, intelligence sources in New Delhi reportedly said all three terrorists were thought to be Pakistani nationals, although no detail of their identities was available. "We had reason to believe that an operation of this kind was being planned and asked the Nagpur police to be prepared," an unnamed senior official said.

President Mahinda Rajapakse on June 1 told the visiting United States Undersecretary for South and Central Asia, Richard A. Boucher, that he would seek a "fresh outlook" on a negotiated political settlement for the continued ethnic conflict in the country. He said that he would ask an all-party conference, scheduled to be held on June 2, today, "to work out suitable proposals for devolution of power." He emphasised that the "failure of earlier proposals to solve this crisis was because they did not have the agreement of the LTTE, and it would not be practicable to impose any unilateral solution, without agreement with the LTTE." He added that there is the need "to seek a Sri Lankan solution and not be confined to the solutions in other countries." However, he "did not rule out the possibility of some of those solutions being suitable in the Sri Lankan context." The President also said the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has to be a part of the process of changing the constitution. He said, “It would not be useful to agree on any solution or introduce change to the power structure without their participation. First of all they will not accept such a solution. We have to involve them.” He reiterated that the Government would not opt for war. "I conveyed my stand that I will not opt for a military solution," Rajapakse told Associated Press. He also reiterated that there are no paramilitaries operating from Government-controlled areas and if there were, his Government would disarm them.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) is reported to have confirmed on June 2 the rape of 25 women by cadres of the outlawed United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) at Parbung and Lungthulien in the Churachandpur district in January 2006. The Commission has asked both the Centre and the Manipur Government to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation package for the victims and continue deployment of security forces in the area, according to Nagaland Post. Commission member Malini Bhattacharya, a former Member of Parliament, submitted the NCW report to Governor S.S. Sidhu and Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh on June 2. A team led by her prepared the report after visiting Lungthulien and Parbing villages, where the alleged mass rape occurred, in May 2006. "The commission will submit the report to the Centre very soon. We will also meet Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil and seek measures for the victims' rehabilitation," she said. Bhattacharya informed that the girls were still in a "traumatised and terrorised state", which called for immediate medical attention and counselling. She reported that 18-armed militants raped 15 girls aged between 15 and 27 years on the night of January 16, 2006 at Lungthulien, forcing the villagers to flee to neighbouring Mizoram the next morning. Ten other girls were raped at Parbung before the Lungthulien incident.

Police have arrested 17 people, including five teenagers, on terrorism-related charges, a senior Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer told a televised news conference in Toronto on June 3-morning, according to Dawn. All the men arrested were residents of Canada and most were Canadian citizens, said Mike McDonell, Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP. The 12 adults and five youths were reportedly of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin. McDonell said it was a "home-grown terror cell intent on launching attacks against targets in Southern Ontario" which would have been more devastating than the Oklahoma City bombing. "This group presented a real and serious threat. They had the capacity and intent to carry out a terrorist attack," he added. Police said they recovered three tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a quantity three times the amount used by Timothy McVeigh to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

Canadian terror suspects arrested last week in Toronto had reportedly considered launching an aerial assault and may be tied to groups in the United States, Britain and Pakistan. The National Post newspaper said the Toronto-area suspects sought military training in Pakistan and may have asked a British man for help to arrange the schooling. Briton Abid Khan, aged 21, is said to have visited Canada in 2005 at the same time as two US terror suspects, Ehsanul Islam Sadequee and Syed Haris Ahmed, both in US custody, the newspaper said. The group “developed a plan for traveling to Pakistan where they would attempt to receive military training at one of several terrorist-sponsored camps,” the FBI said in the documents. Khan was arrested on June 6-night at Manchester airport upon his return from Pakistan. Globe and Mail, citing reports, said Khan, who was being interrogated by British police, may have lived with one of the Canadian suspects.

The LTTE's political wing leader and head of its delegation to Oslo, S.P. Tamilselvan, said that outfit was engaged in "involved discussions with the Norwegian facilitators on key issues, including the role of the truce monitors." He added, “We do not intend to conduct talks with such a delegation. At any rate, we do not have the sanction of our leadership to do so," adding, among the issues that the LTTE would take up at the talks, was the role of those member countries of the SLMM, which had banned the LTTE. He said, “Members of the European Union cannot now be accepted as neutral." Meanwhile, Erik Solheim, Norway's Minister for International Development, urged the LTTE to reconsider its rejection of European Union citizens as monitors. He stated, "Norway cannot fill the vacancies. There will be two possible outcomes, either it continues with a minimum set-up or we will have to approach other countries, which have not banned the LTTE. He said that could take up to six months to organize and would involve removing current monitor head, Swedish Major General Ulf Henricsson.”

Norway's Minister for International Development, Erik Solheim, told media that the scheduled talks between the Sri Lankan Government and the LTTE to be held on June 8-9 were a "failure" and accused the LTTE for the breakdown. Commenting on the LTTE’s objection to nationals of EU member states serving in the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM), he said, “That would take away two thirds of the Nordic mission. Both the LTTE and the government need us. It is a little like shooting yourself in the foot.” He also blamed the EU for contributing to a breakdown in talks, adding, there is no doubt this was (EU) ban an underlying issue hardening the position of the outfit prior to the Oslo meeting.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on June 9 reaffirmed its position that a solution to the conflict should be based on the "right to self-determination," reports The Hindu. A unilateral communiqué issued by the outfit from Oslo on June 9 and released to the press on June 10 contained significant omissions from an earlier joint communiqué by the Government and LTTE in December 2002 after the third round of negotiations between the two parties. In that earlier statement, it was "agreed to explore a solution founded on the principle of internal self-determination in areas of historical habitation of the Tamil-speaking peoples, based on a federal structure within a united Sri Lanka." The departures from the 2002 document were the omission of the phrases "internal self-determination," and "federal structures" as the basis for a solution. Instead, the outfit's June 9 communiqué merely said that it "reaffirms its policy of finding a solution to the Tamil national question based on the realisation of its right to self-determination."

Issuing a statement, it said that it had "taken the unprecedented step of writing to the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tiger rebels asking them about their commitment to the peace bid". The statement added, “The responses by the parties ... will determine which steps will next have to be taken by the Norwegian government and the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission, in close partnership with other actors in the international community.” It further added, “The grave situation in Sri Lanka, with escalating violence in breach of the ceasefire agreement, is intolerable for the civilian population and a cause of great concern to the international community. … The full responsibility for halting violence and giving the peace process a new start rests with the parties.”

The Communist Party of India (Maoist) on June 10 condemned the Orissa Government's order banning it in the State along with seven other pro-Maoist organisations, The Hindu reported. The party announced that it would organise a countrywide road blockade on June 14 and 15 to protest the proscription and the ‘ongoing suppression of people's voices' through the Government-supported Salwa Judum programme in the State of Chhattisgarh. "The ban is a brutal assault on the democratic rights of the people," ‘secretary’ of the party's ‘State Committee’, Sunil, said in a two-page statement. Stating that the Naveen Patnaik Government had been treating CPI-Maoist and organisations such as the Chasi Mulia Samiti as ‘virtually unlawful’ outfits since long, the party said the ban had exposed the ‘real character’ of the ‘so-called democratic system of the country.'

Local Taliban and religious leaders in North Waziristan on June 11 issued public notices warning people of “serious repercussions” if they do not shun “un-Islamic activities” like watching movies and listening to music, Daily Times reported. The announcement comes a day after the military bombed a terrorist hideout, killing up to 20 terrorists. The Taliban warned tribesmen to avoid hashish, heroin and wine, end all smuggling, ban all “un-Islamic” video and audio cassettes, ban dish antennas in houses and bazaars, and close all gambling dens. All such places of gambling will now be used for a “noble purpose”, the announcement said. The Taliban also announced a ban on interest on loans, and staged fights between birds and animals. “Any person committing these atrocities from Monday [June 12] will be punished accordingly if spared by the government,” said the announcement. Sources said that most local tribesmen supported the announcement, believing its implementation would bring peace to the troubled tribal agency.

At least sixty-four civilians, including 15 children, were killed and eighty-six others were injured when a state-run passenger bus carrying 150 passengers was destroyed in a twin side-charger claymore mine explosion in the Anuradhapura district on June 15. The Government's spokesperson on security issues, Keheliya Rambukwella, blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for the attack saying, "There is no iota of doubt that it is the LTTE." He also said, "There is no declaration of War, the peace agreement is on, but, we have to look at it very seriously", adding that the Government would not hesitate to take military action if needed, to safeguard the civilians. Subsequent to the attack, security forces (SFs) carried out an aerial attack in the LTTE-held Sampoor and Maullativu area and drooped bombs near the outfit headquarters of Kilinochchi on June 16, today.

Reacting to the SFs aerial attack, head of the outfit’s peace secretariat, S. Puleedevan, told Reuters, "If they are attacking Kilinochchi, they are showing they are ready for war."

The Commander of 11 Corps, Lt. Gen Mohammed Hamid Khan, claimed that the Pakistan Army has put militants in Waziristan “on the defensive” and the situation in the Waziristan tribal areas has “cooled down tremendously”. Gen Hamid Khan told Washington Post in Peshawar that the army had shifted from mass raids to “snap operations” based on intelligence, and now controls key towns once in the hands of militants. He said, “In my view, stability for Afghanistan is the best thing for Pakistan. All the turmoil there affects us; we get the refugees, the criminals, the drugs, the weapons. The miscreants have much safer sanctuaries on that side than on ours. If we want strategic depth, better we should have good relations than instability.” However, Afrasiab Khattak of the Awami National Party reportedly said, “North and South Waziristan are in the grip of Talibanisation” and all of the seven federally administered tribal agencies “can come under its grip, too. The army has put up an honest fight, but it has failed, and the government has failed. The traditional system has been made ineffective, and the Taliban have moved into the vacuum.”

While the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) is a document signed by the government of Sri Lanka and LTTE, the agreement of treaty status relating to the establishment of the SLMM, the Status of Mission Agreement (SOMA), is between the Government of Sri Lanka and the Royal Norwegian Government." The statement added, "Any structural changes to the monitoring mechanism of the CFA would have an impact on the disposition and outlook of the monitoring process requiring consequential changes to SOMA."
