The Afghanistan Senate Speaker Sibghatullah Mojaddedi during his visit to India on June 1 accused Pakistan of being an "exporter of terrorism" to other parts of the world and blaming it for all problems in his country, reports The Hindu. Addressing the concluding session of an international conference on terrorism in New Delhi, he said, "Pakistan is exporting terrorism to different parts of the world. Eighty to 90 per cent of terror attacks around the world can be traced back to Pakistan. The ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] is exporting terrorists trained in their terror camps," Mijaddedi said. Criticising the allied forces fighting the "war against terror" in Afghanistan of turning a blind eye to the terror camps operating in Pakistan, he said, "We are suffering because of the interference of ISI in our country; everyday we lose our people, young and old indiscriminately."

The Union Government appointed M. L. Kumawat, Special Secretary (Internal Security) of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), as Chairman of the Cease-fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) and Cease-fire Supervisory Board (CFSB) in Nagaland, according to Morung Express. Kumawat took over charge in New Delhi on June 1. According to sources, "Gen Kulkarni has miserably failed to stop the inter-factional clashes and implement the agreed Ceasefire Ground Rules (CFGR) in the state, for which the MHA has replaced him by Mr Kumawat." The sources added, "The appointment of MHA officer as the chairman of the CFMG and CFSB is likely to change the entire insurgency scenario and lead towards a peaceful atmosphere in this decades-long insurgency-affected State."

The Himalayan Times reports that the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) suspects most of the persons disappeared by the State and the non-State sides have already been killed. NHRC spokesperson Gauri Pradhan, after studying the complaints that the commission had received, said the human rights body came to know that most of the disappeared persons have already been killed. "Investigations have revealed that both the state and the non-state sides had detained people without following the minimum standard of the rule of law and had killed them saying that they died during encounters," he added. Out of 2240 people disappeared by the State, the status of 1,427 people has already been made public while the whereabouts of 671 are still unknown. Similarly, of the 1,059 people disappeared by the CPN-Maoist, 739 were made public, 21 were killed and the whereabouts of 299 people are still unknown, according to NHRC.

A negotiated end to the conflict is still possible but not before the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is "verifiably demilitarised and democratised," said Dayan Jayatilleka, Sri Lanka's Permanent Representative to the UN, in an e-mail interview, according to IANS. He added that the conflict would only end when the outfit’s leader Velupillai Prabhakaran gets 'demilitarised one way or another'. When he was asked if there was any room for a possible negotiated settlement to end a war, he said, "Yes but not with the Tigers, and certainly not with Prabhakaran. With him there can be no peace.'' A peaceful, negotiated settlement is possible only if it recognises that any solution has to be within a single, united Sri Lanka, and the LTTE is verifiably demilitarised and democratised, he asserted.

The LTTE has condemned the Government’s moves to devolve more power to the North and East. The head of the outfit’s political wing, B. Nadesan, said the plan under which the Government recently held local elections in the East contained "no basis for a settlement." "Recognition of Tamil sovereignty and right to self-determination are key issues in creating a climate for a negotiated settlement," he told the pro-LTTE Website Tamil Net on May 30. He also accused Colombo of blocking peace broker Norway from meeting LTTE leaders by refusing to provide access to LTTE-held areas. Sri Lanka's main financial backers -- the United States, Japan, the European Union and Norway -- should keep up their peace-building work, Nadesan said, urging Colombo to allow diplomats to meet LTTE representatives. However, the Eastern Province Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan said that the only way to find a solution to the conflict is to devolve powers that are vested in the Central government, according to Colombo Page.

A suspected suicide bomber blew up his car outside the Danish embassy in Islamabad on June 2, killing at least eight persons and injuring 30 others, Daily Times reported. The Danish Foreign minister said a Pakistani cleaner employed at the embassy and a Danish citizen of Pakistani origin had died and three other local employees were hurt, but the embassy’s four Danish staffers were unharmed. There was no claim of responsibility for the blast, but officials said it was likely linked to anger over blasphemous caricatures, which were recently reprinted by Danish newspapers. The explosion, which occurred at around 1.05pm, damaged the main gate of the embassy and the front of the building. It also left a six-foot deep crater in the road. Windows were also broken in the nearby home of the Indian High Commissioner. Anjum Masood, a manager for the UN-funded group Devolution Trust for Community Empowerment, said dozens of its 100 employees were wounded, mostly by flying glass. Inspector General of Police, Syed Asghar Raza Gardezi, said that it was a suicide attack. Police sources said the car bore a red number plate used only by diplomatic corps, saying this had allowed the vehicle to bypass the police picket set up near the embassy. Interior Secretary Kamal Shah told reporters that initial investigations had revealed the amount of explosives used was in excess of 15 kilograms.

Al Qaeda has said it was behind the suicide attack on Denmark's embassy in Pakistan on June 2 which it mounted in revenge for the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad, The News reported. An Internet statement, signed by al Qaeda's leader in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, said Denmark was targeted as it had not apologized for the publication of the cartoons. The attack was "revenge against the infidel government... of Denmark which published degrading drawings of the prophet... and refused to apologize but continued... and was followed by leading Crusader states, organizations and figures," it said. The attack was in line with a pledge of revenge by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, the group said in the statement, posted on Islamist Websites. Its authenticity, however, could not be independently verified. The statement also said a recorded message from al Qaeda suicide bomber who carried out the attack would be issued.

The LTTE has said that the national question cannot be resolved by killing innocent civilians or political leaders. In an interview with BBC Sandeshaya, head of the outfit’s political wing, Balasingham Nadesan, said, "You cannot resolve the Tamil ethnic issue by killing the president or innocent civilians." He also denied any knowledge of killing civilians in the south and said that many other elements are operating in the south. Stating that it is the responsibility of the Government to initiate a fresh dialogue he accused the Government of launching military offensives against the LTTE and denied that the outfit is being defeated by the military in the north. He also denied media reports that head of organisation’s peace secretariat, Seevarathnam Pulidevan, has been arrested by the outfit’s leadership. Separately, denying media reports of his arrest Pulidevan himself accused the Sri Lanka military of ‘fabricating stories when they cannot achieve military victories’. He also dismissed reports of an internal dispute within the LTTE, insisting that the organization continued to function as usual, adds Daily Mirror. Pulidevan also ruled out the possibility of having peace talks with the Government without the participation of Norwegian facilitators and added, "The LTTE has no problems. Our only intention is to receive the Norwegians in Kilinochchi as they are the official facilitators. Till then we will not discuss anything."

Police sources told Daily Times on June 6 that the police had seized 1000-kilograms of explosives along with bullets, ball bearings, metal scraps and broken pieces of mirror, adding, religious literature was also seized from the suspected terrorists. They said that the terrorists had been captured after a massive sweep of the city was launched on intelligence reports that three explosives-packed vehicles had entered the city to target sensitive locations. Security forces placed Rawalpindi and Islamabad on red alert following the discovery of the explosives, AFP reported. City Police Officer Rao Muhammad Iqbal said: “It’s true that the city police have arrested four suspected terrorists and seized three explosives-packed vehicles from them. An investigation is underway, although it’s premature to presume anything at this stage.” He appealed to people to contact the police as soon as they saw any suspected vehicle or person.

The Hindu reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have blasted a high tension 220-KV power supply tower in the forested Bastar region. Security forces who scanned the forests from helicopters on June 6 located the tower. Hundreds of villages in the Jagdalpur, Bijapur, Dantewada and Narayanpur districts in the southern districts of the state have plunged into darkness as a result. A senior police officer said, “It would take at least one week to restore power supply”. The power disruption has brought to a halt mining in Bailadilla, which has India’s largest iron ore deposits, thereby affecting the operations of the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) and mining facilities of the Essar company. “The total loss to NMDC could be INR 10-11 crore (100-110 millions) a day,” a senior official of the corporation said. “The pumping operations have come to a standstill,” an Essar spokesman said.

Leader of the House in the Senate Raza Rabbani on June 6 tendered an apology on behalf of the ruling coalition for military operations carried out in Balochistan in different tenures. “Such operations were launched in the name of federation, but they actually weakened it,” he said after Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-Mengal) Senator Sanaullah Baloch submitted his resignation to the Upper House Chairman Mohammadmian Soomro. Rabbani said the government would not allow demographic change in the provinces, and said the proposal denying the right to vote in Balochistan to those who settled in the province from elsewhere was being considered. The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid’s (PML-Q) Mushahid Hussain said, “We as a nation should apologise to the Baloch.” Hussain, who headed a subcommittee on Balochistan during the previous government, said his party had taken the initiative with a “positive mindset”, and that it made efforts to reconcile with the people of Balochistan. “But there was another line in the system that favoured confrontation. Hawks within the establishment sabotaged our efforts,” he said, but without clarifying to which hawkish segment he referred. He further added that the PML-Q would support the government for settling all Balochistan issues through talks. He said the use of military was not the solution to province’s problems.

The Pakistani government is not holding peace talks with terrorists but only with peace-loving elements as part of a multipronged strategy to fight extremism, said Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Afghanistan on June 6, reported Daily Times. “We will not engage with terrorists,” Qureshi told reporters, adding, “Those who pick up arms and rifles are neither your friends nor our friends. We are engaging with those elements that are peace-loving and want stability in their regions and want to live a normal peaceful life.” Qureshi added that Islamabad believed it needed to adopt a more comprehensive approach to fighting extremism that included political engagement, socio-economic development and “when required”, military measures. Pakistan has already signed a peace deal with pro-Taliban militants in the Swat Valley. It is also in talks with al Qaeda-linked leader Baitullah Mehsud, who has vowed to continue “jihad” in Afghanistan while pursuing peace negotiations.

Sri Lankan Minister for Community Development and Social Inequity Eradication P. Chandrasekaran has said he had received positive signals from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) indicating that it would be open to talks, reports The Hindu. Claiming to be on a mission to meet political leaders in Tamil Nadu and New Delhi to create an atmosphere conducive for Indian intervention, he said that India should play the role of a mediator to end the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. "They [LTTE] are aware of our efforts. With Norway withdrawing from the peace talks, there is a need for a mediator. India has the moral duty and right to intervene in the Sri Lankan crisis," Mr. Chandrasekaran said, addressing a press conference in Tiruchirapalli on June 9. Other countries stayed away or were being kept away from the crisis, but India should not keep itself aloof. The war should end, and a permanent solution should be found to the problems of Tamils through talks. India, he said, could bring the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE to the negotiating table, despite their seemingly rigid standpoints. Daily News quoted Chandrasekaran as saying that the LTTE had also evinced interest in Indian intervention and favourable signals had emanated from the outfit in this regard.

Any future terror attack against US interests would most likely be carried out by militants based in Pakistan’s restive tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen said on June 10, according to Daily Times. The top military official told a press in Washington that tribal groups with ties to al Qaeda in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) represent the worst security threat to the US. "I believe fundamentally that if the US is going to get hit, it is going to come out of the planning of the leadership in FATA," he told reporters, adding, "That is a threat to us that must be dealt with." The new government, Mullen said, faces "significant challenges as it gets underway, and at the same time is looking to the best way to deal with this challenge".

A little known Sri Lankan rebel group, Ellalan Force claimed responsibility on June 10 for recent bomb attacks on transport vehicles as revenge for what it said were Government attacks and aerial bombings on Tamil civilians. "We want to claim that we are responsible for the bomb attacks on the transport vehicles and other attacks," the outfit said in an e-mail to Reuters. The military said that the outfit is a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)-linked group. The attacks have been carried out as a stern reply to the Government forces' Long Range Reconnaissance Petrol (LRRP) attack and aerial bombing on innocent civilians, the Ellalan Force said in the mail. "The LRRP attacks and the aerial bombings on Tamil innocent civilians must stop. The Sinhalese must understand (the) situation clearly and think about why the 'Ellalan Force' continue their attacks." The mail also urged Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese ethnic group to put pressure on the Government to stop killing innocent Tamils. The military, on the other hand, denies any LRRP involvements in killing Tamil civilians. "Our LRRP never attack innocent civilians. LRRP is doing their attacks targeting LTTE cadres with arms," military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Reuters.

India cannot make 'any healthy, fruitful contribution' to resolving Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict until it changes its mind on the LTTE’s struggle for an independent State, K.V. Balakumaran, a senior leader of the outfit told an Australian Tamil radio, according to IANS. "Our regret is that the Indian policy makers are viewing (the) Tamil people's struggle through the lens of their country's political warfare. Until the Indian central government approaches this intellectually and recognises that ours is a struggle for survival by an oppressed people in the land of their birth, India cannot make any healthy, fruitful contribution," the pro-LTTE Website Tamil Net quoted Balakumaran as saying.

President Mahinda Rajapakse has asserted that in spite of the cost in lives and damage inflicted to Sri Lanka's tourist trade he would not resume peace talks with the LTTE until the organisation agreed to disarm, according to Reuters. "When they are weak they call on the international community to arrange a ceasefire. During this period they train and rearm and then fight back. This time if they want to talk, they should disarm first," he said. Commenting on concluding a peace deal with Velupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE chief, he said, "This man and the three or four henchmen around him are blood-thirsty killers. They have no feelings. It is very difficult to deal with them."

Secretary General of the Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process (SCOPP), Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha, responding to a statement made by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE’s) ‘Peace’ Secretariat chief, Seewaratnam Pulidevan, that he wishes to meet with Norwegian peace-brokers, said that the team headed by Norway's Special Peace Envoy John Hansen Bauer, would, for now, not be allowed to visit the Wanni. Prof. Wijesinha dismissed the LTTE request as a meaningless propaganda exercise in the absence of a roadmap to ending the 25-year conflict. "Bauer had wanted to go. But we have told him, we want a very clear idea of why he is going to the Wanni," he said, insisting that only a commitment on the part of the LTTE for decommissioning of weapons and in particular what they want Bauer to come and talk about at this juncture. "Unless you have a clear road map that leads to a democratic political solution, I don't think you can take any LTTE claim to negotiate a deal seriously. "Part of that road map would be a ceasefire and commitment ... guaranteeing the laying down of arms. That road map should make very clear to us that there is a very genuine commitment to negotiate to a political solution," he added.

Large quantities of explosives and other war material meant for Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are being seized in Tamil Nadu, indicating the outfit’s tactic to wage a long war, according to IANS. Security agencies from the Central and Tamil Nadu Governments are regularly confiscating ammunition and dual use goods that officials say are destined for the LTTE. Since the start of 2007 until now, Indian authorities have seized unusually large volumes of ball bearings that are used as shrapnel, aluminium bars, both ordinary and electronic detonators, boat building equipment, walkie-talkies, batteries and petroleum products. Also found hidden or abandoned have been chemicals, including sulphuric acid, high-speed outboard engines for boats, cycle spares, tyres for cycles and motorcycles, power generators, and surgical equipment including medicines. Some of the seizures run into tonnes and detonators in thousands. The quantity of chemicals totals hundreds of litres. A vast majority of the findings have been reported from the coastal district of Ramnad, which overlooks Mannar district in north-western Sri Lanka. Arrests of couriers have been few in relation to the materials seized. Some of the seized goods were found buried or in safe houses. Others were simply abandoned when the Police came too close to catching the messengers. Both Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils have been involved in the incidents.

But he added that if the BLA asked him to talk to Islamabad, as an elder of the Baloch nation, he would present his terms and conditions: the Punjabis must vacate Balochistan. "The other issues are all domestic and could be discussed later on ... I can co-exist with a pig but not with a Punjabi," he said at his Karachi residence. He said he was "pleased" with the BLA and did not regard Mengal’s Balochistan National Party (BNP) as a nationalist force as it did not factor in the Baloch of Iran and Afghanistan. "The BNP does not have a majority on the mountains. God knows, it is not the BNP giving arms, shoes, support and money to those fighting in the mountains," Marri said.

The Hindu reports that on June 16, 2,400 detonators were seized from two civilians, identified as Ravikant Kumar and Shrawan Kumar belonging to Rohtas district, at Mughalsarai railway station. Police sources said that both persons were intercepted by the police when they alighted from the Gaya-Mughalsarai Passenger train at around 12-30 pm (IST). While Ravikant, who was carrying 1,400 detonators in a bag, was arrested by the police, the other person managed to escape leaving behind a consignment of 1,000 detonators. The detonators were manufactured by AP Explosive Private Limited, Nalgonda in Andhra Pradesh and Haryana Explosive Private Limited. Interrogation revealed that the two persons were carriers who had been given the consignment by an unidentified person at Dehri in Rohtas district. Ravikant told the police that twice before in May he had delivered two separate consignments of 1,000 and 700 detonators in Mirzapur. Previously, on the night of June 12-13, 3100 electronic detonators were seized by the police on Platform No. 3 of Mughalsarai station. Two persons carrying the consignment managed to flee after dropping the bag. These detonators were also made in the Nalgonda explosive manufacturing factory.

Swat-based Taliban have suspended contact with the NWFP government to protest against the slow progress on a peace agreement they entered into less than a month ago, said Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan, adding, that "some elements were interfering in the peace process," as a result of which Taliban had decided to temporarily freeze contact with the provincial government. Contact with the NWFP government has been suspended for "a period of one week to see if the government takes steps to accelerate the progress on issues discussed in the May 21 peace agreement," said the spokesman. He said the provincial government had already been told about the decision. The spokesman added that a delay in the release of Taliban prisoners had forced the decision. "Under the agreement, the prisoners should have been freed 15 days after the deal," said Khan. As reported earlier, 18 Taliban prisoners were set free by the Government following the peace deal while another 55 are still in prison. NWFP Information Minister, Iftikhar Hussain, has however said they were not told about any such decision. Hussain said that there had been no severing of contact, though admitted that the Taliban had complained of the slow progress.

Italian Police said they have arrested 33 suspected members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in pre-dawn raids across the country on June 18, according to Daily News. Police in Naples said the suspects were picked up in 10 cities including Rome, Genoa, Bologna, Naples and Palermo at the end of a two-year investigation. Some 200 police were involved in the operation which saw raids across the country including the island of Sicily, an official with the police counter-terrorism cell told AFP. Police believe the suspects, all Sri Lankan citizens, extorted money from their fellow nationals in the various cities and sent it home to finance the LTTE. Luigi Bonacura of the Naples police said the operation effectively dismantled the Tiger network in Italy. Tamil expatriates in Italy are forced to contribute money to the LTTE, Police said.

As reported earlier, President Mahinda Rajapakse had said last week that his Government would consider restarting a peace process only if the outfit agreed to lay down their weapons.

On June 19, Manohar Parrikar, leader of opposition in the Goa legislative assembly said that the naxalite (left-wing extremist) activities are spreading to the state, reports Times of India. "In the last two or three years there have been Naxal activities in the state. There are Naxals from the tribal areas of Jharkhand who have links with CPI (ML), a banned organisation operating in the state", he said while chairing the Goa Legislative Assembly ad hoc committee on home affairs. The issue attracted great concern during discussions. The issue of SIMI entering Goa was also discussed. IGP Kishan Kumar said, "We are fully aware of the sensitivity of the issue." A top police official confirmed that the Goa police have prepared a report on naxal activity in the state that would be soon submitted to the government. The report clearly states that at the present time the group may not be an apparent cause of concern, but if not checked it could quickly turn into a serious law and order problem. According to the report, a group of about seven persons, three of them from Goa, having Naxal links are operating in the mining areas under the guise of uplifting the underprivileged. Targeting the mining areas of Bicholim, Quepem and Sanguem, the group has often spoken briefly, yet powerfully against mining activities, police harassment and people's rights

The Hindu reports that four Pakistani soldiers were killed and three others injured in a clash with a jihadist group on June 19. Speaking to journalists in Islamabad Pakistan army spokesperson Major-General Athar Abbas said the troops died in a clash near the town of Hajira, east of the Line of Control (LoC), in the district of Poonch, with “unknown miscreants.” He offered no explanation of how the fighting had broken out, but confirmed that the soldiers’ deaths were not caused by Indian military action. Highly-placed Indian military sources stationed in the area, however, told that the deaths were most likely the outcome of an accidental clash between Pakistani troops and a jihadist group. A senior army official said the clash began when a group of jihadists trying to infiltrate into the Indian side were fired upon by Indian soldiers forcing them to retreat and run into a Pakistan army patrol. “In the fog of the fighting it is possible the jihadis mistook the Pakistani army troops for an Indian ambush, or the other way around”, he said

Basil Rajapakse, the presidential advisor of President Mahinda Rajapakse, on June 19 admitted that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) represented a ‘fair number of Tamils’ but ruled out any quick truce with the rebels, reports Asian Age. "They (Tigers) represent the Tamil people but they are not the only ones. That has been proved. But this does not mean they do not have the strength or that they do not represent the Tamils. They do represent a fair number of the Tamil people. But unfortunately their methods cannot be accepted or approved," he told in an interview to the Daily Mirror in Colombo. Commenting on the possibilities of negotiations with the LTTE, he said while the Government was "always ready" for talks but that could happen only at the right time. "The President is always willing to have negotiations and a settlement. The best scenario is where we negotiate and settle it with the LTTE. But at present we can’t forget the problems of the Tamil people till the LTTE comes forward. We are meeting the needs of the people and crushing terrorism while inviting the LTTE for negotiations. We are willing to look into their grievances," he added. He also said that laying down of weapons by the LTTE "is not necessarily conditions." "Those are conditions that have to be worked out," he added.

The banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) has once again rolled up its sleeves and started getting active across Pakistan, and especially in Karachi, but with a new name Ahle Sunnat wa Aljamaat Pakistan (ASWJP) which roughly translates into The Sunni Party. It has started by requesting Sunni people to voluntarily shut down their businesses and offices on Youm-e-Shahdat (the day of martyrdom) of Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (RA) on the 22nd of Jumadi-Uthani, June 27. The central information secretary of the SSP and ASWJP, Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Nadeem, told Daily Times on June 24 that they had started work in the name of the ASWJP because of the ban on the SSP. "The case against the ban is in court," he added. The SSP was banned in 2002 by the government and most of its leaders were arrested. The leaders were released in 2003-04 and started limited work under ASWJP. It organized a rally in April 2008 in Karachi after surfacing after six years.

25 more LTTE militants were killed and two soldiers sustained injuries as the SFs engaged in operation ‘Rice Bowl’ on the Mannar Front fully captured the Andankulam area and 13 square kilometres surrounding it on June 27, an unnamed senior military official told Daily News. According to sources, the LTTE has lost almost all the bases they had within the Mannar ‘Rice Bowl’ area with the fall of Andankulam, the strongest LTTE position in the ‘Rice Bowl’ area, the official added. "Tiger cadres operating there ran out of the area taking all belongings as troops took the area in a surprise move yesterday," he added further. With the capture of Andankulam, troops are in the process of completing the task of liberating the entire Mannar ‘Rice Bowl’ area which is the most fertile land in the Mannar district, neglected without cultivations due to LTTE occupation. The SFs believe that Andankulam was the strongest Tiger base in the area as the LTTE had its main operation rooms in Andankulam.

Mizoram police recovered arms comprising 17 AK 47 and 56 rifles from a truck at Buichali village, 30 kilometres west of capital Aizawl, on June 28-afternoon, reports Telegraph. The Superintendent of Police of Special Branch of Aizawl district, K. Rozina, on June 29 said the truck was on its way to Cachar district in Assam from Champai district in Mizoram. The truck was captured and its driver and cleaner were detained for further interrogation. Sources said the arms were purchased at Chiang Mai, an arms market along the Thailand-Myanmar border. Sources suspected that the arms were meant for the Assam-based Black Widow (BW), by adding that the outfit is now using a large quantity of cash, collected in the last few months through extortion, to buy modern weapons from different places. The militant group is currently reported to be in Kathmandu to explore the possibility of buying arms from Nepal to south Assam. “We have held back our operation against the DHD (J) as it had given us indications about further extending the truce. The government is looking into the nitty-gritty of responding to its ceasefire offer. But the haul has forced us to take a fresh look at the situation,” a source in the home department said.

Foreign elements hailing from Central Asian Republics (CAR) are disturbing peace in the FATA, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on June 29, according to Daily Times. Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Gilani said that the foreign militants from CAR are behind the current unrest and spike in violence in the FATA. Dismissing foreign pressure and involvement in the crackdown on militants in the FATA, he said that this is a provincial matter and the federal Government acts on the invitation and advice of the province. The prime minister also said that the NWFP Government had concluded a peace agreement with tribal chiefs but they violated the agreement by hanging people publicly, kidnapping members of minority and by setting girls’ schools on fire. “No government can afford a parallel government and we will never compromise the country’s sovereignty, dignity and self-respect,” Gilani said. He stated that the Government was adopting a three-pronged strategy to counter militancy in the FATA: political dialogue, development in the region and use of force as a last resort.

More contingents of the Frontier Corps on June 30 arrived in Bara and were deployed in the Shalobar, Qambarkhel and other areas. Bazaars and public places in Bara, located 15 kilometers from the provincial capital Peshawar, remained open as normalcy was reportedly returning to the area after two days of curfew. Members of different groups, which were banned by the federal Government on June 29, offered no resistance except the one on the first day of the operation at Gandao check-post where a tribesman was killed and two security force personnel injured in a clash. "There is no threat to Peshawar. Apart from deploying heavy contingents of Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and regular police, the force has strengthened 44 points on the boundaries with Mohmand and Khyber agencies and FR Peshawar and Kohat right from Mathra up to Matani to stop any militants incursion," the Capital City Police Officer Mohammad Suleman told the media. He added that 45 platoons of the Frontier Constabulary were assisting regular police as security had been beefed up at 30 different points in Hayatabad to secure the township against any retaliation of the Bara tribesmen.

Seven tribesmen were killed and nine others sustained injuries in a blast at the base camp of a banned outfit in the Bar Qambarkhel area of Bara sub-division in Khyber Agency on June 30, according to The News.

An explosion at the office of the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) in Damak on June 30-night destroyed part of the building near its main gate, Nepal News reported. According to apfanews.com, a news portal run by refugees, the explosion took place at around 8 pm (NST). Nepal Samacharpatra daily said unidentified assailants hurled three small bombs into the office before running away. The daily quotes a local police officer as saying the explosion did minor damage to the building. No casualty has been reported. The Jwala Singh faction of the JanatantrikTerai Mukti Morcha (JTMM-J) subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack. The Urlabari in-charge of the JTMM-J told over phone that his party cadres hurled bomb at IOM office by mistake, which should have been exploded at telephone towers. The IOM has been involved in resettling Bhutanese refugees to United States, which vows to take some 60,000 as a gesture to end the two-decade long crisis.

Six persons were injured in clashes between local construction entrepreneurs and the Young Communist League (YCL) cadres that ensued in a dispute over registering tender bids at Uadaypur, district headquarters Gaighat on June 30, reported Kantipuronline. The injured persons include central member of the Nepal Student Union Rakesh Khatri, who is also working with local Routa Construction Company, Maoist supporter Nirmal Regmi, and Police Head Constable Prameshwor Yadav. The tenders which should have been registered in Lahan of the Siraha district had been transferred to Udaypur due to Maoist pressure. According to Ramesh Rai, Kathmandu-based construction entrepreneur, the Maoists have been turning back all constructors other than Maoist supporters from the DAO. "Their plan is to allow only pro-Maoists to register tender applications," he said. Amar Bahadur Khatri, a pioneer construction entrepreneur in the district, complained that local constructors were not allowed to register tenders.

The CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda blamed the Terai-based parties of delaying the formation of a new Government by obstructing the Constituent Assembly (CA) proceedings, according to Nepal News. "The [announcement of] resignation by Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala immediately paved way for the formation of a new government, however the process has again been delayed by the obstruction created by the Tarai-based parties," Prachanda said speaking to a group of South Korean journalists that reached his residence at Nayabazaar to interview him on June 30-morning. In a question about the army-integration, he said that there are plans to cut down the size of both the Maoist People's Liberation Army and Nepal Army which he referred to as a national army. "There is no need to have more than 50,000 soldiers in the national army," he added, and suggested that those who are laid off can be put into development works.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has "lost their capability of fighting as a conventional army" because of the offensive the military is waging against them, Army Chief Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka said, according to IANS. "The LTTE has lost the capability of fighting as a conventional army. Although they are (still) fighting us, they (are) not in the same manner as was in the past. That type of resistance is not there anymore," Fonseka told members of the Foreign Correspondents Association on June 30. He said that although the LTTE's fighting capabilities had been badly weakened, it would take another one year or so "to completely defeat them militarily". Claiming that not less than 9,000 militants have been killed in clashes with Sri Lankan troops since August 2006, the Army Chief said that government troops "are now working on the overall plan of completely defeating the LTTE militarily", not just capturing fresh territories. "We do not just go for terrains, but we go for the kill. This is the difference between the military operations in the past and the present," he added. Commenting on the ongoing military operations in the North, the Army Chief said the troops had regained several hundred square kilometres where the Tigers held sway. He said the troops were just four kilometres short of the LTTE's strategic Sea Tiger base at Vedithalthivu in the north-western coastal belt in the Mannar district. "I am sure the LTTE will totally lose even their present capability in less than one year. Then they will resort to a totally different type of tactic," Fonseka said.

The security forces engaged in the Wanni liberation operation, entered a decisive phase on June 30 as the troops created the biggest ever military front to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the western flank of Wanni with two Army divisions that independently operated in Mannar and Vavuniya linking together from southeast of Periyamadu. With the successful completion of the liberation of the Mannar ‘Rice Bowl’ the troops attached to the 58 Division in Mannar made this strategic move, moving further towards North East of Mannar to link with the 57 Division troops operating South of Periyamadu. "With the linkage of the two Divisions, infantry battalions engaged in the Wanni liberation operation created a 75 km long massive military front from the West of A-9 road in the Western flank of Wanni front," General Officer Commanding of the 58 Division Brigadier Shavendra Silva told Daily News. "With this move the Security Forces operating in the Mannar sector are now positioned some two and half kilometres South of Vedithalthivu," he stated, adding, "We will continue to keep the pressure on the LTTE further and will take measures to counter their attacks and take maximum killings." The troops attached to 57 and 58 Divisions have so far liberated 1,084 square kilometres in Vavuniya, Mannar and Mullaitivu districts.
