Government on June 1 extended the ban on Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) by two more years, reports News.lk. A statement issued by the Indian Home Ministry on May 14, stated that even though LTTE was defeated in Sri Lanka, "Recent reports reveal that remnant LTTE cadres and leaders are regrouping in Tamil Nadu." The possibility of LTTE's remnant cadres using India and especially Tamil Nadu as a rear base for their regrouping activities and the possibility of them entering in the guise of Tamil refugees cannot be ruled out, reported the Indian media quoting the Home Ministry statement. Quoting sources, media reports said that LTTE sympathisers were posing a threat to India as they continue to spread anti-India sentiments through the medium of Internet. Certain remnant cadres have been noticed in Tamil Nadu and an extension of ban on LTTE was required, sources added.

Several police agencies had earlier said that IM was a splinter faction of the Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), which was banned in 2001. The IM was banned on June 2, 2010. In its 4,478-page charge sheet against the four arrested accused filed before a special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act (MCOCA) court on May 25, the ATS said, "The IM has been expressly created by (the) ISI of Pakistan ostensibly to spread terror in this country through Indian front outfits."

The Sangai Express reports that to pave the way for bringing different armed groups to the negotiating table, top officials from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) are reportedly meeting leaders of Manipur militant groups currently lodged in jails both inside and outside the State. According to an informed source, the Union Government is determined to resolve the vexed insurgency problem that had been besieging Manipur for the last many decades and has specifically prevailed upon the Home Ministry officials to meet and convince detained militant leaders to have meaningful dialogue with the Government. While evading a direct comment on whether there is any positive response from the militant leaders, source said after a few months there would be clarity on the outcome of the meetings.

The Shillong Times reports that the Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh on June 1 preferred to downplay the emergence of the breakaway group of the ANVC (ANVC-B). “A small fraction of a breakaway militant group does not worry the Union Government much,” Singh said on the sidelines of his visit to the North Eastern Police Academy (NEPA) at Umsaw in Ri-Bhoi District. Singh, however, stayed away from commenting on the claim of the Meghalaya Government that the ANVC-B was a result of error in the tripartite ceasefire agreement signed between the Union Government, Meghalaya Government and the ANVC on July 23, 2004. Commenting about the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), the Union Home Secretary said that the GNLA has suffered a lot of reverses in the past few months. He also commended the efforts taken by the State Police to control the activities of the outfit. “We are confident that we would very soon catch all their cadres,” Singh stated.

Resentment is brewing up in Gilgit Baltistan (GB) with the local representatives there calling on the US to support the right of self- determination of the people of the disputed region, saying that they are being oppressed by the Pakistan Government, Daily Excelsior reported. A three-member delegation of US embassy in Islamabad, including Lisa Buzenos, Political/Economic Officer and Kimberly Phelan, Political Officer, met chairperson of GB United Movement (GBUM), Manzoor Hussain Parwana in Gilgit on May 31, reports said. Parwana called denial of the right of self-determination and degradation of local national and cultural identity as two main issues for the people of GB, saying that with abundance of natural resources and enviable geo-strategic location the region fulfils the criteria to sustain as an independent country. "We expect brotherly relations with our neighbours namely India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, China and Afghanistan but do not expect them to treat us like a colony. The international community including our neighbors should respect our will to exist as an independent nation. We intend to use our land and resources for the well-being of our people but would refuse to let our neighbours exploit us to enhance their strategic depth or use our poor people as cannon fodder," Parwana said in a statement that was distributed in Washington on June 1.

The grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti and the head of Balochistan Republican Party (BRP) Brahmdagh Bugti on June 1 said the NATO supply through Balochistan is not acceptable but if they (the Pakistani Government) want to do so, the Baloch should be taken into confidence, reports Daily Times. In an Interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Urdu Service, Bugti, who is currently on exile in Switzerland, said he was against all sorts of external intervention in the Balochistan issue be it from Pakistan, the United States (US) or from any other country. He said the ‘independence of Balochistan cause’ lacks international support but lobbying was being done in the US, United Kingdom (UK) and Russia. Further, the Baloch leader said that Pashtuns would not be part of “independent Balochistan” as the territory would be consisted of the Baloch majority area. He accused the Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for using power and money to divide Baloch leaders struggling for their “independence”. Although Brahmdagh did not support killings of people in an armed struggle of the Baloch Republican Army (BRA), he avoided condemning such a struggle.

The lawyers, representing Doctor Shakeel Afridi jailed after helping the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) find slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, appealed against his conviction on June 1, reports Daily Times. Afridi was on May 23, 2012 sentenced to 33 years in jail. He was arrested after United States (US) troops killed bin Laden in May 2011 in Abbottabad where he set up a fake vaccination programme in the hope of obtaining DNA samples to identify the al Qaeda leader. But he was convicted for treason over alleged ties to terrorist group Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) and not for working for the CIA, for which the court said it did not have jurisdiction. The appeal, filed by his brother Jamil Afridi through lawyers, said the allegations were “false, concocted and without foundation”. It said Afridi had “no association” with LI and that the conviction should be dismissed because he had no opportunity of defence or fair trial. The appeal said Afridi was abducted by LI in 2008 and ordered to pay PKR 1 million. The court said Afridi paid PKR 2 million to the faction and helped to provide medical assistance to terrorist commanders in Khyber Agency of Federally Administered tribal Areas (FATA). The terrorists have denied any links to Afridi, saying they fined him for over-charging patients, and have threatened to kill him.

The pace of repatriation of Afghan refugees has declined sharply over the past two years mainly because of the uncertain security situation in their country, Dawn reported on June 1. According to officials, under an agreement signed in 2012 between Afghanistan, Pakistan’s Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAFRON) and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), about three million remaining refugees were to be repatriated to Afghanistan by the end of December 2012, but a very small number of them have since returned. The Afghan Government is trying to resettle them before the exit of foreign troops in 2014 and beyond. On May 30, the jirga (tribal council) members met SAFRON Minister Shaukatullah Khan who assured them that the Pakistan Government would take every possible step to accelerate the pace of repatriation of Afghan refugees. The Minister called upon the UNHCR to increase the support package for refugees from USD 150 per person to USD 500 because they would have to purchase households for themselves on return. The jirga was informed that at present more than one million of the three million Afghan displaced persons were not registered with the authorities and because of this they were facing a number of problems. The elders complained to the Afghan minister of various problems being faced by the refugees, including police harassment and health and education related issues, and asked him to resolve these issues. The refugees demanded full security for their families’ life and property for resettlement in Afghanistan.

Indian security agencies are not hopeful of Myanmar immediately launching a Bhutan-type operation to flush out northeastern militants from the country, reports Times of India on June 2. The news report quotes a security source saying, "It's NSCN (Khaplang) chief SS Khaplang who calls the shots there. Ulfa and the NDFB have smaller contingents. Ulfa has about 200 Ulfa fighters while the strength of the NDFB is just about 100. Manipuri outfits have about 3,000 militants. The size of the NSCN (Khaplang) [Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang] is also quite big", he added. "Let's see how Myanmar deals with the militants this time. Earlier, it used force against them only to extort money. We have marked the rebel hideouts. We think the militants can be driven out easily if Myanmar acts like Bhutan." The sources said.

Pakistan’s decision to allow two US military officials to return to a liaison post is a “sign of improving coordination between the United States and Pakistan”, Dawn quoting the American Forces Press Service reported on June 2. The story, posted prominently on the front page of the official Pentagon website, quotes spokesman Navy Capt John Kirby as saying that the two officers returned to Pakistan recently at the request of the Pakistani Government. Earlier, Capt Kirby told a news briefing at the Pentagon that there were no US military trainers in Pakistan. “A couple of liaison officers, from the US Regional Command East, Bagram, have returned to the area around Peshawar to coordinate and continue to liaise with the 11th Corps headquarters there at the Pakistani military.” The 11th Corps’ area of responsibility includes the border region that matches up with the US Regional Command East on the Afghanistan side.

DNA reports that the Karnataka Government is set to roll out welfare initiatives to bring people in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected areas to the mainstream, according to State Home Ministry sources. “Around 12 villages have been affected by Naxal activities and the people living in those villages need to be offered facilities—including connectivity, employment and security—that will help them relate to the mainstream. All government departments should earmark 10% of their budgets to the development of villages marked as Naxal-affected areas,” Western range Inspector General of Police Pratap Reddy said. State Home Ministry sources said that it was not possible to tackle a sensitive issue like Naxal influence on youth with law and order machinery and coercive methods. Instead, all Government departments, including sports and youth affairs, must reach out to the people in those areas and launch public contact programmes. Deputy commissioners of Mangalore, Udupi and Chikmagalur districts will be given directions to not wait for the government packages but to use the available funding and manpower to take up welfare initiatives in Naxal-affected villages. Villages like Menasinahadya, Eedu, Navuru, Kuthluru and Naravi are likely to get immediate attention, the sources said.

The Police found several computer files which show that the accused were keeping daily tabs on the investigations. Pictures of the nine accused in the 2006 Malegaon serial blast cases were also found in their computer.

The anti-terrorism squad (ATS), probing the triple blasts, had seized a computer and several DVDs from Habib Mansion in Byculla (East). The room was taken on rent by arrested accused, Naqi Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar, and was reportedly used by Indian Mujahideen (IM) leader Yasin Bhatkal alias Imran and two suspected Pakistani bombers. The Police also found a Tata Photon, a USB connection to use internet, attached with the seized computer. The forensic analyzer, in the report, stated that they also found contents in Muslim language. But observers say there is no specific language in India which could be called a Muslim language. The hard disc analysis showed that the suspected accused had been surfing net to read stories about bombs blasts across the country.

The Human Rights activist Asma Jehangir on June 4 said that the country’s security establishment was planning to get her killed using one of the many jihadi (holy warrior) outfits operating in the country, reports The Hindu. She spoke out on a couple of primetime talk shows; stating that the military – particularly the Inter Services Intelligence – was upset with her for picking up cudgels for the Baloch people and speaking out against the role of the security establishment in the restive province of Balochistan. Jehangir went public with her fears after an “information-leak from a responsible and highly credible source.” Alarmed by this leak, leading members of Pakistan’s civil society said: “What makes the reported conspiracy to liquidate Asma Jehangir especially serious is, firstly, the environment of target-killings, in which dissident persons’ dead bodies are being dumped all over, and, secondly, the fact that the finger of accusation has been pointed at the extraordinarily privileged state actors.” In a statement issued through the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, they said this is not a conspiracy against one individual alone but a plot against Pakistan’s future as a democratic state. “We wish to make it clear to all and sundry, especially those who preside over the security apparatus, that they must not under-estimate the consequences of any harm being caused to the life of Asma Jehangir.”

US drone attack killed 15 militants in Hisokhel, east of Miranshah, the headquarter of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 4, reports Daily Times. Officials said two missiles slammed into a compound in the village of Hisokhel before dawn. “Fifteen terrorists were killed in a dawn strike on a compound. The bodies of those killed were unable to be identified,” a security official in Miranshah said. He said there were unconfirmed reports that foreigners were among the dead. In the debris, local people found letterheads of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), wooden beds, blankets and mattresses. Dawn reported that al Qaeda’s ‘second-in-command’ Abu Yahya al-Libi was the target of the US drone strike. US officials confirmed to The New York Times that Libi had been the target of the missile attack in North Waziristan, but could not say whether he had survived. A senior Pakistani security source in Peshawar, meanwhile, told The New York Times that it “looks like he has been killed.”

Hindustan Times on June 5, reported that, investigations into the 13/7 Mumbai serial blasts has led government agencies to Haryana’s Mewat District, known as the birthplace of the Tabhligi Jamaat religious movement.

in view of increased air traffic and threat perception, the security grid at both the strategically important airports of the State is being expanded and State Cabinet will clear the proposal of Home Department for creation of additional 347 posts of different ranks of Police personnel. Sources said that though the work load at Jammu and Srinagar airports has increased considerably during the past some years due to operation of multiple flights yet there was no change in the composition of security at these airports. "As the present scale and composition of security at strategically important Jammu and Srinagar airports is not commensurate with the present air traffic, it is necessary to augment the deployment of security cover", they said. "Out of the requirement of 380 posts worked out for Jammu airport, 196 posts have already been created and 184 posts are yet to be created. Similarly, as against requirement of 347 posts for Srinagar airport, only 146 posts are in place and additional 201 posts are required to be created", sources said.

Kanglaonline reports that Union Home Minister (UHM) P. Chidambaram, on June 5, said the problem of left-wing extremism was affecting some eastern states in the country but most of the insurgent groups in northeast were now holding talks with the Centre. “The States which are affected by this left-wing extremism are Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal to some extent,” the Minister told media persons in Bhopal. Stating that northeast has a very special place in the country, he said most of the insurgent groups there had entered into a dialogue with the Government. Terror incidents in northeast and in Jammu and Kashmir last year (2011) were the lowest in two decades, he said. Right now, Madhya Pradesh is among the states which are not affected by Naxalism. However, he raised the Naxal issue with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan when they met earlier in the day. “I have asked him to come to New Delhi to make a presentation on the State on the issue,” Chidambaram said.

Madhya Pradesh Government plans to make a presentation to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on the emerging situation of Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) to back its demand to declare nine more Districts as Naxal (LWE) affected, reports The Times of India. The State makes the demand arguing that it wants to take preventive steps to check spread of Naxalism by taking up development initiatives well in advance in the backward regions. So far only Balaghat District has been declared as LWE-affected. "We don't consider Madhya Pradesh as a state badly affected by Naxalism unlike the states of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar and one district of Maharashtra and three districts of Orissa", Union Home minister P Chidambaram told newsmen during his visit on May 5. "Chief Minister Shivraj Singh wants to give a presentation on the emerging situation of Naxalism. I have invited him to Delhi and promised to work out some arrangement," he said. Referring to Naxalism, the home minister said Naxal casualty figures were low this year but the situation is really "worrisome" as many States were facing grave challenges. He said the Centre was providing all possible assistance to States to fight Naxalism through multi-pronged strategies, including for development of respective regions.

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, in an interview on the peace process between New Delhi and the NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) says that elections are fought on party lines and this divides the Nagas. This is the time when Naga undergrounds (rebels) have come closest to the Government. If we lose this opportunity, we will have to start from zero, he said. The undergrounds were fighting for sovereignty but they have realised, reconciled that the situation is such that now we have to live in the Indian Union. That is why this is the closest moment for the Nagas and the Indian government …this is the time for a solution, he said. He however further said that a piecemeal settlement for the Nagas may not be good. Whether we are integrated or not integrated, Naga interests should be protected wherever they are.

Sahar Samay reported on June 5, 2012 that according to US Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, "There is ongoing conviction among US officials that sanctuaries in Pakistan have allowed Afghan militants to sustain their insurgency and that elements of the ISI continue to support them”. The CRS said ISI is also regularly linked to anti-India terrorist groups, including the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), responsible for the November 26, 2008 (26/11) attack on Mumbai. "Some reporting has cited Afghan insurgent commanders claiming that in the latter months of 2011 the ISI increased its direct contacts with the Taliban, vigorously encouraging more violence, and even supplying them with new high powered explosives manufactured in Pakistan," said the CRS, which as the name suggests, is the independent research wing of the US Congress. CRS said that the classified NATO report, detailing information gathered through thousands of interrogations of captured Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants, was leaked in January 2012 and reportedly indicates that Afghan insurgents continue to receive direct support from the ISI. The report further offers that, "Pakistan's manipulation of the Taliban senior leadership continues unabatedly," and "Senior Taliban leaders meet regularly with ISI personnel, who advise on strategy and relay any pertinent concerns of the government of Pakistan."

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has claimed that the funds received by Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Yasin Bhatkal from Dubai through the hawala (illegal money transfer) channel were used to send recruits to Pakistan to receive terror training, as reported on June 5, 2012 by dnaindia.com. Apart from being used in the July 13, 2011 (13/7) blasts, the funds were also used to pay the deposit for the Habib Mansion flat in Mumbai. The ATS, in its chargesheet, said, “During the course of investigation it has transpired that Yasin Bhatkal has utilised the money received by him through hawala for paying the deposit of the rental room in Mumbai and other places. The funds were also distributed to other members for the purpose of causing terrorist acts and sending Muslim youths to Pakistan for terror training”. Until now, the investigators had claimed that only Bhatkal, alias Shivanand, was in touch with arrested Delhi-based hawala operator Kawalnayan Pathreja. However, investigations have now revealed that Wakas Shaikh, one of the planters in the case, was also in touch with Pathreja. “We had seized two broken mobile phones and two pocket diaries from Pathreja’s residence, but one of the diaries contained a page of the month of July wherein the name of Wakas Shaikh was written by Pathreja. This means Wakas was in touch with him and some dealing had taken place in the month of July between them,” said the officer. Further, Investigations revealed that suspected Pakistani bomber Waqqas (Wakas Shaikh) had helped his co-accused steal two Activa scooters from Grant Road and V P Road areas a day before the explosions, as reported by The Times of India. Last week, the ATS arrested Naqi Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar for stealing two bikes and two Activa scooters. In its chargesheet, the ATS said that Waqqas had accompanied Ahmed and Akhtar when they went to steal the vehicles. According to sources, Waqqas had joined a gym in Byculla and went there regularly to work out. "He stayed in a rented room in Habib Mansion in Byculla for almost nine months with the other suspected Pakistani bomber, Tabrez. Waqqas also participated in assembling of the bomb in the rented room. On the day of the blasts, Waqqas and Tabrez went to Opera House on one of the stolen scooters around 1.30pm and the former planted the bomb there near a hawker. The bomb was not fitted into this scooter," said a source

Pakistan summoned U.S. Charge d’affaires Richard Hoagland to the Foreign Ministry to convey the Government's serious concern over repeated drone strikes. Hoagland was told that drone strikes represent a “clear red line for Pakistan'' as they are unlawful, against international law and a violation of sovereignty. However, the US State Department declined to comment on the Pakistani Foreign Office’s demand for a discontinuation of drone strikes – terming it an “intelligence matter” – the spokesperson hinted there was little chance that these operations would cease and explained that drone operations were a part of Washington’s counter-terrorism strategy. “I can’t talk specifically about classified operations,” said US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner during a briefing.

Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Syed Qaim Ali Shah on June 5 argues that the recent spree of targeted killings in Karachi is not politically motivated; instead, he claims that it is a turf war between criminal gangs who are out to occupy each others’ territory in show of might, reports The Express Tribune. Addressing a press conference at the CM House, Shah said, “Every murder cannot be attributed as targeted attacks. There is no politically motivated murder, but there is a conspiracy for giving air to ethnic and sectarian violence in Karachi.” Promising strict action against those involved in criminal activities, he said that 60 to 70 per cent killings were due to personal enmity while the rest could be attributed to ethnic and sectarian divide. But he claimed that “these sectarian and ethnic killings have been controlled to some extent”.

The Government provided police guards to different leaders of anti-Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Adezai Qaumi Lashkar (community militia) except its chief and assured them of full legal support, reports Dawn. Addressing a joint press conference along with the leaders of different peace bodies at Malik Saad Police Lines in Peshawar on June 5, Superintendent of Police (SP) Shafiullah Khan urged the volunteers to continue activities against militants in their respective localities. During the press conference, Adezai Qaumi Lashkar was represented by Waqif Khan, Qari Sajid and Fazl Malik while Bazidkhel Qaumi Lashkar was represented by its head Fahimur Rehman. However, head of Adezai Qaumi Lashkar Dilawar Khan was not present on the occasion. He even expressed ignorance about the press conference when contacted by Dawn. The SP appreciated the role of peace bodies against militants in the rural areas of Peshawar and hoped that Police and volunteers would continue to coordinate with each other for elimination of terrorism. He said that peace bodies had been formed when Dr Suleman was Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) to check movement of anti-state and anti-social elements. Mr Khan said that at least 10 peace bodies had been formed in the past. All of them would be revived to keep close liaison with Police for maintenance of peace and pinpointing criminals and terrorists in their areas, he added. He said that 260 personnel of community police would continue to work in rural areas and get salaries.

The United States (US) on June 5 said that al Qaeda number two Abu Yahya al-Libi was killed in a drone attack at Hisokhel, east of Miranshah, the headquarter of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 4, reports Dawn. “Our government has been able to confirm al-Libi’s death,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney, ending a prolonged US tussle with a man who once escaped from a US jail in Afghanistan, and had defied previous attempts to kill him. “It is significant,” another US official said, saying Libi headed al Qaeda operations in Pakistan and had outreached to affiliates such as Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has attacked US targets. News of the killing of Libi followed reports detailing the scope of the US campaign against global terrorism, including revelations that President Barack Obama personally presides over a “kill list” of top suspects. Al Libi, a hero in militant circles for his 2005 escape from the US military prison in Bagram, Afghanistan, was elevated to al-Qaeda’s No. 2 spot when Ayman al-Zawahri rose to replace the slain Osama bin Laden. Militants and residents in the area told Pakistani agents that al-Libi was in the house when it was hit, Pakistani intelligence officials said. They said the mud and brick house was completely destroyed. A local Taliban chief, on condition of anonymity, said al-Libi was not present at the house, though his guard and driver were killed. However, residents of the village said Libi was killed as an unusually high number of militants gathered there after the drone strike and they kept people away. They usually bury the bodies after a drone strike in the nearest graveyard, said one of the villagers, describing the aftermath of previous strikes in the area. This time they put all the bodies in their cars and took them away.

The Government is demanding the release of a vital UN report on the war, mentioned in the UN Secretary General's Panel of Experts (PoE) report on accountability issues in Sri Lanka, as the number of deaths due to war contained in the document runs counter to claim that over 40,000 people perished in the final stages of the war from January to May 2009, reports The Island.

The UN estimated the number of wounded persons at 18,479. The UNSG's panel has made specific reference to what it calls the United Nations Country Team, which carried out the survey in the Wanni region during the war, but it has stopped short of revealing the contents thereof in detail.

Investigations revealed that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives had used social networking websites, and that's how they managed to stay under the investigators' radar, as reported on June 6, 2012 by rediff.com. The investigators also found that some IM operatives were trying to conduct recruitments through their Facebook accounts. The IM has been quick in the use of technology when it came to planning and executing their operations. They started out with the use of email, then moved on to chats and later Skype, a video conferencing application. However, when the Police finally realised, the cadres improvised by using the 'save draft' option and the cache to store their messages in accounts which were accessed through a common username and password. The police say that the cadres had started using social networking websites as far back as 2008, but it was only used as backup. However, post 2008, because of strict monitoring by investigators; the cadres started using social networking websites extensively

Investigators probing the July 13, 2011 (13/7) triple blasts have learnt that Delhi-based hawala (illegal money transfer) operator Kanwalnayan Pathrija not only transferred funds for the bombings, but also used three SIM cards obtained on fake documents as reported by The Times of India on June 6, 2012. The SIM cards were from a set of cards provided to operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM). According to the chargesheet filed by the anti-terrorism squad (ATS), suspected Pakistani bombers Waqqas Shaikh and Tabrez alias Danish, arrested accused Naquee Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar and wanted accused Tehseen Shaikh and Muzaffar Kola had used SIM cards which were obtained using forged documents. "Pathrija (42) used three such SIM cards," said an ATS officer. "We have obtained the call detail records of these SIMs." The ATS chargesheet in the 13/7 case also mentions that the DNA of a woman was found in Byculla's Habib Mansion, the building where the suspected bombers stayed. "We had sent several seized items to the state forensic science laboratory for analysis. The forensic reports state that one of the three toothbrushes seized by the police from the room contains a woman's DNA," said an ATS officer. "It is likely that a family stayed in the room before the bombers rented it. Our probe has not reaveled the involvement of a woman, but we are probing all angles," the officer added.

The centre on June 6, 2012 told the Supreme Court that a red corner notice has been issued against Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Fasih Mehmood for his alleged role in various terrorist activities, but refuted his wife's claim that he was abducted in a joint operation by Indian and Saudi Police in Dubai, according to Hindustan Times. Additional Solicitor General Gaurab Banerjee also submitted to the bench of justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and J.S. Khehar, a copy of the "red corner notice (RCN)" which was issued through Interpol and carried a warning, that Fasih "may be armed, dangerous and violent." The notice stated that 30-year old Fasih, a resident of Bihar's Darbhanga district, was a member of the IM and responsible for the Pune German Bakery blast on February 13, 2010; Bangalore Chinnaswami Stadium blasts on April 17, 2010 and Delhi's Jama Masjid shootout and blast on September 19, 2010. During the course of investigation, 7 persons were arrested and interrogated. They voluntarily confessed that they along with Fasih Mehmood and other absconders belong to the banned outfit called IM. The absconding accused Fasih Mehmood is an active member of IM since 2003. At present the absconding accused is hiding himself in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was submitted that several cases under various Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections like 120B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging or attempting to wage war against India), besides various provisions of the Explosives Substances Act and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act have been lodged against Fasih. Further, the centre told the Supreme Court that its agencies had no role in alleged arrest of Fasih Mehmood on May 13, 2012, according to The Times of India. Responding to the court's notice, Gaurab Banerjee told a bench of Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar that its investigating agencies neither accompanied Saudi Arabian Police in effecting the alleged arrest nor had he been brought to India. Banerjee said "The external affairs secretary and the home secretary have conveyed that neither Indian agencies nor its officials were part of any alleged action to arrest Fasih in Saudi Arabia. It is not correct to say that Indian police arrested him. He is not in India”.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) claimed on June 6, 2012 that it was aware of the whereabouts of a July 13, 2011 (13/7) accused, Muzaffar Kola, listed as wanted in the case charge sheet. He has not been arrested so far owing to his medical condition, reports The Hindu. Muzzafar Kola, owner of the Dubai based company Muzzafar Kola Enterprises, was in Bhatkal, Maharashtra, even as the ATS charge sheet listed him as a wanted accused. ATS chief Rakesh Maria said, “We have given it in the charge sheet. We know he is in Bhatkal. He has undergone surgeries. Because of his medical condition we have not arrested him. What's the point of arresting him when he would be in the hospital instead of jail? We have said in the charge sheet that his passport has been confiscated so that he does not move out of the country.”

United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Communist Party of India–Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have links, Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi on June 6 said, reports The Telegraph. When asked about Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram statement at a media conference recently that there was nothing to suggest that ULFA had links with Maoists, Gogoi said, “Let him say that. He has got his own sources; I have my own (sources)”. Gogoi said he was aware about Maoist infiltration into Assam and their links with ULFA for a long time. Gogoi also said the Maoists had links with many insurgent groups in the Northeast and Ulfa was just one of them. Gogoi stressed on improving connectivity in the remote areas, especially along the border to counter insurgency. CPI-Maoist has expanded their bases in Assam by forming a Lower Assam Leading Committee, reports Times of India. "The Lower Assam Leading Committee in central lower Assam area is at the initial stage now with a handful of cadres. They are yet to find a leader for this area," a senior police officer said. "The CPI (Maoists) picks up groups in society, which have been agitating against the government for autonomy to protect their unique identities. They have managed to recruit a few youths from these communities and the motivation is on," the officer added.

A new book ‘Confront and Conceal’ by The New York Times journalist David Sanger reveals that US used troop movement threat to spur Pakistan Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani to act against Haqqani network, but he refused, reports Indian Express. The US intends to keep between 10,000 to 15,000 counter-terrorism troops in Afghanistan, much beyond its troops’ drawdown in 2014, which could cross over into Pakistan in case of crisis, a top Barrack Obama aide had warned Pakistan Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. The aide conveyed this to the Pakistan Army Chief at a secret meeting in Abu Dhabi in October, 2011 in a bid to spur Pakistan to take strong action against the Haqqani network, the book claimed. But the threat didn’t appear to have made the desired impact.

Dawn reported that on June 6 differences cropped up between office-bearers and members of (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) FATA Lawyers Forum (FLF) after its patron-in-chief Abdul Kareem Mehsud announced to suspend the forum’s cabinet, but the rival group insisted the suspension was illegal as Abdul Kareem had no legal authority to do so. The reason for these differences was the announcement of some office-bearers and members of the forum to contest the case of Doctor Shakeel Afridi, who is suspected of having links with Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and was recently convicted for supporting the militant outfit, Lashkar-e-Islam (LI).

Lashing out at the Punjab Government, Adviser to the Prime Minister (PM) on Interior Affairs Rehman Malik on June 6 while talking to the media at the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) Headquarters in Islamabad asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to desist from patronising terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), as they were only harming the country, reports Daily Times. Adviser Malik requested the Punjab Government to join hands with the Centre rather than protesting against the rulers, and let democracy prevail in the country. Commenting on Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s protest against load shedding and his recent visit to his camp office at Minar-e-Pakistan, Malik said, “You cannot get anything by travelling in buses... Why haven’t your Police recovered the kidnapped son of the late Governor? Why don’t you tell the nation that you have failed?” He also criticised the Provincial Government for dealing with foreign subjects. “When the Iran delegation comes to Pakistan, they say that a deal has been finalised between Punjab and Iran. For God’s sake, this is one federation,” he added.

Terming drone attacks on Pakistani soil as ‘self defence’, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta made it clear that the campaign will continue, reports The Express Tribune. “We have made it very clear to Pakistani leaders that we will continue to defend ourselves,” Panetta, who is wrapping up his nine-day tour of Asia, said during an interaction at the Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) in New Delhi. His assertion came a day after Pakistan summoned the US envoy in Islamabad and lodged a protest over continued drone strikes, terming them unlawful and a violation of the country’s sovereignty. “This is about our sovereignty as well… The leadership of those that were involved in planning (the 9/11) attacks located (themselves) in Pakistan,” he said. “We had a strike yesterday (Tuesday) that hit another (al Qaeda) deputy leader,” he said referring to the death of Abu Yahya al Libi. Panetta termed the US-Pakistan relationship “complicated… often times frustrating, often times desperate, often times difficult.” “They have provided some cooperation… They have been engaged in going after those who threaten their country… (But) there are times when, frankly, the cooperation is not there,” he added. But, at the same time, he called it a ‘necessary relationship.’ The defence secretary said it was “extremely important” for the US to maintain its relationship with Pakistan given its nuclear capability. “The US cannot just walk away from that relationship,” he said. Talking about efforts to reopen transit centres and supply routes to Afghanistan from Pakistan, Panetta said “We are negotiating with them to see whether we can arrive at an agreement that will re-open those areas.”

This is for the fifth time, since the proceedings began in early 2009, that the judge conduting trial has been changed. The proceedings have dragged on behind closed doors at Adiala Jail without much progress.

United States (US) State Department Spokesman Mark Toner said on June 6 that though Pakistan has formally informed the US that sentencing of Doctor Shakeel Afridi was not linked to his help in tracing slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, there seems to be no change in the view of Obama administration that 33 year imprisonment to the physician was not justified, reports The Times of India. "We continue to express our concerns about his continued incarceration. We have actually gotten some clarity that the charges against him are not related to the bin Laden case apparently," said the official. "We did get a response from the Pakistani Government. This, however, doesn't change our view that the prosecution and conviction of Doctor Afridi sends the wrong message about the importance of our shared interest in taking down one of the world's most notorious murderers, bin Laden. So we would just continue to urge the Pakistani Government to consider his appeal," he added.

They cleared that the prime minister made Cabinet decision to hold CA elections just one hour prior to the termination of the CA tenure without looking into constitutional, legal and political complications and obstacles. The move has wasted all efforts and resources invested to the constitution making process and caused a political crisis aggravating mistrust and conflict among the major political parties.

Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou warned on June 7 that jihadi fighters from Afghanistan and Pakistan are training militant groups in northern Mali, reported Dawn. “We have information on the presence of Afghans and Pakistanis in northern Mali…They are believed to be working as instructors,” he told the France 24 News Channel. “They are the ones who are training those who have been recruited across various West African countries,” said Issoufou. Mali has plunged into chaos since the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya in 2011 scattered mercenaries and weapons across the Sahel. The Tuareg rebels fought alongside a previously unknown militant group called Ansar Dine (Defenders of Faith), which is believed to be backed by al Qaeda’s North African branch. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has been active for years in northern Mali, where it has launched attacks against Government Army positions, kidnapped foreigners and allegedly benefitted from drug running. “I think all these organisations cooperate amongst themselves, whether the Shebab in Somalia, Boko Haram in Nigeria, AQIM in Algeria and in the Sahel in general, all the way to Afghanistan,” he said. “Our concern is that the Sahel not becomes a new Afghanistan.” Issoufou said he feared the hardline militant groups regrouping in northern Mali could spread to his country, which has also been hit by AQIM attacks in recent years. “These groups in northern Mali are continuing to get their supply of weapons from south western Libya,” he said.

Pakistan on June 7 said that it will ‘soon’ reopen the Ground Lines of Communications (GLOCs) for NATO containers to re-enter Afghanistan and this could happen in a ‘week’s time’, reports The News. The United States (US) too admits that GLOCs will open ‘soon’ but has refrained from giving a timeframe. When a senior Pakistani diplomat, monitoring the deliberations, was approached, he told The News, “We will open GLOCs soon. My hunch is in a week’s time” that could be around June 14, 2012. Earlier, when a senior official of the State Department was asked the same question, he told The News, “There is a “package deal” being discussed at high levels, which includes Coalition Support Fund (CSF), but the deal is not yet quite concluded. We remain hopeful.” He confessed that he was unaware of any ‘dates’ for either opening of GLOCs or the amount fixed for reimbursement of the CSF. “We would be delighted if Pakistan would announce sooner, rather than later, the opening of GLOCs. However, Pakistan has not yet conveyed to us any hints about a date,” he added.

The United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on June 7 called for a UN investigation into US drone strikes in Pakistan, questioning their legality and saying they kill innocent civilians, reports Daily Times. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay made the remarks at the end of a four-day visit to Pakistan. “Drone attacks do raise serious questions about compliance with international law,” Pillay told a news conference in Islamabad. “The principle of distinction and proportionality and ensuring accountability for any failure to comply with international law is also difficult when drone attacks are conducted outside the military chain of command and beyond effective and transparent mechanisms of civilian or military control,” she said. She said the attacks violate human rights. “I see the indiscriminate killings and injuries of civilians in any circumstances as human rights violations.” The UN human rights chief provided no statistics but called for an investigation into civilian casualties, which she said were difficult to track. “Because these attacks are indiscriminate it is very, very difficult to track the numbers of people who have been killed,” she said. “I suggested to the government that they invite the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Summary or Arbitrary Executions and he will be able to investigate some of the incidents.”

United States (US) Defence Secretary Leon Panetta on June 7 said that Washington was reaching the limits of its patience with Islamabad because of the safe havens the country offered to insurgents in neighbouring Afghanistan, reports Daily Times. It was some of the strongest language used by a top US official to describe the strained ties between the US and Pakistan. “It is difficult to achieve peace in Afghanistan as long as there is safe haven for terrorists in Pakistan,” said Panetta. “It is very important for Pakistan to take steps. It is an increasing concern, the issue of safe haven, and we are reaching the limits of our patience,” he told reporters. The US has long pushed Pakistan to do more to help in the war against terror, but the relationship has received a series of blows, not least by a unilateral US raid into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden last year that humiliated Islamabad.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Mohammad Qateel Siddiqui, accused of executing terror attacks in Bangalore and Delhi and involved in the attempt to blow up Pune's Dagadusheth Ganapati temple, was strangled to death by two other prisoners in a high-security cell of Pune's Yerawada central jail on June 8, 2012, reports The Times of India. Siddiqui was in custody of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) since May 3, 2012. He was handed over by Delhi Police, who arrested him on November 22, 2011. The terrorist was believed to be a close associate of Yasin Bhatkal, the main suspect in a string of terror attacks. Prison Superintendent S.V. Khatavkar, who was later suspended by the Maharashtra government for the security lapse, said that Siddiqui was found dead in his 10 ftx10 ft cubicle in the 'anda' cell of Yerawada. "We later learned that gangster Sharad Mohol and his aide Alok Bhalerao, who were also lodged in the anda cell, had strangled Siddiqui to death with a drawstring from a pair of shorts around 9.45am," he said. Further, the Maharashtra government has now asked prison authorities to separate terror accused from other high-profile criminals, according to Hindustan Times. The directive was issued soon after Siddiqui’s murder came to light, said Police sources. The directive is significant considering Arthur Road, Yerawada and Nagpur central jails hold high value criminals including Ajmal Kasab, the Pakistani national convicted for his role in the 26/11 terrorist attacks. Apart from him, the state is particularly concerned about the key IM operatives arrested in the 13/7 Mumbai serial blasts which includes Haroon Rashid Abdul Hamid Naik, Naquee Ahmed, Nadeem Sheikh and Kanwar Nain Wazirchand Pathrija. All the four accused are currently in Arthur Road jail in Mumbai which also houses key Chhota Rajan henchmen facing trial in various cases.

Jammu Police stepped up searches for Parvez Ahmed Tak, a resident of Kishtwar town and a major missing link in the missing mystery of actor Laila Khan and her four other family members. "An all out hunt has been launched for Tak, who had driven Laila Khan and her four other family members to Jammu. His name in the missing case of Laila Khan had surfaced after the recovery of a Mitsubishi Outlander car, parked in a shop for past several months, in the heart of Kishtwar town’’, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG, Doda-Ramban range) Gareeb Dass said. The DIG said it has now become almost certain that Laila Khan along with her four other family members had been driven to Jammu by Tak from Nasik (Maharashtra) in February 2011. Since then there had been no trace of either Laila Khan or any of her four other family members. As reported earlier, the recovery of a Mitsubishi Outlander car belonging to Laila Khan’s family has raised doubt about their involvement in Delhi High court blasts.

local newspapers carried notices of at least seven panchayat members, including women, from Rajpora in Pulwama District announcing their resignations on June 8. "We inform everybody that we have nothing to do with panchayats and are not affiliated with any political party," one of the notices said. Earlier, on June 5, Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) had asked panchayat members in the area to resign triggering mass resignations of panchs (member of panchayats) and sarpanchs (head of panchayats) in south Kashmir, where Kulgam is located. Reports said the JeM’s purported threat along with a similar warning from the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) earlier is the reason why around 20 panchs and sarpanchs have quit. A number have been shot at, mostly in their legs. Meanwhile, officials have denied such resignations. "None of the panchayat members have submitted their resignations officially," an unnamed official said. Another unnamed Police officer said, “(We are verifying) whether the posters were actually issued by militant organisations or someone else to keep them away from day-to-day work." India Today adds that locals say that posters of JeM were seen in villages of Pulwama and Shopian Districts this week, warning elected rural body members to resign within a week's time or face consequences. The posters were reportedly pasted on electricity poles, walls of mosques and shops in public places. Pulwama Superintendent of Police, Amit Kumar, admitted that three to four posters were seen in a few areas. "At some places posters were of LeT, at others they were of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen [HM] and Jaish. We are investigating the case. They might be posters of militants and there is possibility it could be foul play as well," the officer said. On June 8, more than a dozen such resignations and non-affiliations of rural body members, including women members, appeared in the local newspapers in the shape of advertisements, the report further added. "I am resigning from the post of elected rural body membership. Now onwards I have nothing to do with this post and am not affiliated with any political party. The information is for general public," reads one such resignation from Abdul Rashid Dobi, panch of ward number 6 from Darbgoom in Pulwama. It was published as paid advertisement in a Srinagar based Urdu daily. A woman panch, Ameena Bano from ward number 8 of Village Sahpora in Pulwama, also resigned from the post. She also announced her resignation in the form of paid advertisement in a newspaper. Her resignation advertisement read, "Without coming under any influence from any political or apolitical body, I am resigning from the post of panch. In future, I have nothing to do with this post and I will have no connection with any political or apolitical body."

Outgoing General Officer Commanding (GOC, 15 Corps), Lieutenant General Syed Atta Hasnain on June 8, said that it is impossible to bring infiltration to zero level in Kashmir valley, according to Daily Excelsior. "There is no force in the world that can bring the infiltration to zero level… it is never possible for us to bring the graph of infiltration level to zero level. Like the previous years, some incidents of infiltration have taken place but the number of attempts has definitely come down," said General Hasnain. He said that some incidents of infiltration have remained un-reported adding that the infiltration attempts made in strategically important areas get coverage in the media. "Usually the infiltration that takes place in the Uri sector gets media coverage while as occurrence of such incidents at other places do not find a place in media. We established contact with militants at some other places and even yesterday an infiltration attempt was foiled." He said that infiltration usually takes place in April and May adding that this year [2012] as the winter has been prolonged the attempts of infiltration may take place in June as well. He said Sopore, Baramulla, Kupwara and other areas of North Kashmir have direct impact of the infiltration attempts since they fall in vicinity of the Line of Control (LoC). Hasnain said that 300 militants are operating in the Kashmir Valley and that most of them are operating in North Kashmir. He also said that militants are trying to regroup in South Kashmir especially in Pulwama District. "We have reduced the night patrolling in the areas of South Kashmir and this may be the reason that militancy has been revived to some extent in South Kashmir especially in the Pulwama district. We are working in collaboration with Jammu and Kashmir Police and over the next two weeks we would be able to wipe militants who have come up yet again," said Hasnain. He further said that militants have changed their strategy and they are using cars for planting bombs. He said the car bomb blast at Bijbehara along with the recovery of explosives laden car from Chanapora area in Srinagar are significant reminders about this development on the militant front. "There are enough explosives with the militants operating in the Kashmir valley although the weaponry is less. It is quite possible that the militants may strengthen their ranks in Kashmir in the months to come. As such it is important to notice their movements and take steps that would defeat their designs," said Hasnain.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has given approval for the setting up of Coastal Police stations in Malabar Coast as reported on June 8, 2012 by The Times of India. The central government will also provide infrastructure facilities for the setting up of coastal Police stations. Minister of State for Home, Mullappally Ramachandran, said that the Central government had decided to sanction fund for the setting up of coastal Police stations in the wake of the findings that the coastal regions and terrestrial waters were utilized by the anti-national forces for carrying out extremist and terrorist activities in the country. The stations will be set up at Vadakara, Mahe and Thalassery, said Mullappally. Already sanctioned Coastal Police stations in the state are Vizhinjam (Thiruvananthapuram), Neendakara (Kollam), Thottampally(Alapuzha), Fort Kochi (Ernakulam), Azhikkode (Thrissur), Beypore (Kozhikode), Azheekkal (Kannur) and Thalangara (Kasargode).

A Federal Judge James Zagel on June 8, sentenced a Pakistan-born Chicago taxi driver Raja Lahrasib Khan (58) to seven and a half years in prison for attempting to send money to Ilyas Kashmiri a terrorist with alleged links to al Qaeda and leader of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HUJI), telling him that he had violated a citizenship oath made to God promising never to do harm to the United States (US) reports Dawn. Khan unfolded a piece of crumpled paper and read a brief statement apologising for seeking to send funds to Pakistan-based terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri. ”I made a bad decision. I did something for which I am ashamed,” said Khan. After Khan’s arrest, authorities accused him of taking steps to send cash to Kashmiri after Kashmiri indicated he needed money for explosives. Khan believed Kashmiri was getting orders from Osama bin Laden, prosecutors said. He sent USD 950 in 2009 to an individual in Pakistan for delivery to Kashmiri; he also took USD 1,000 from an undercover agent, allegedly believing that it would be used to buy weapons and possibly other supplies.

At least 18 persons, including 13 members of a militant outfit, were killed on June 8 in a fierce gun battle with Security Forces (SFs) in Chagai District, reported Dawn. “The leader of the gang, Mohammad Azam, was killed in the gunfight,” Chagai Deputy Commissioner, Doctor Tufail told the media, adding that the criminals killed in the fierce gunfight were wanted in several heinous crimes. Soon after the incident, Levies and armed tribesmen started pursuing the assailants and surrounded them in a mountainous area of Zarkan. The armed militants opened fire on the Levies personnel and tribesmen, who returned fire, killing 13 militants of the group. Five tribesmen were also killed in the gunbattle which continued for several hours during which the assailants used heavy weapons, including rockets and RPG. However, Levies personnel remained unhurt in the encounter. “The gang has been active in Chagai and other Districts of Balochistan for 20 years,” Doctor Tufail said, adding that it was wanted in a number of cases of murder, looting, attacks on Government and security officials and abduction-for-ransom. A large quantity of arms and ammunition, including heavy machineguns, RPG, rockets, rocket-launchers and other automatic weapons, loaded in two vehicles were seized. A senior Levies officer said one Sardar Ali Mardan had an old enmity with the gang over the killing of a brother of the gang leader sometime ago by people of the Mohammad Hasni tribe.

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin on June 8, vowed to turn the guns on Pakistan if it stopped backing jihadis in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) who, he claimed, were fighting "Pakistan's war", reported The Times of India. "We are fighting Pakistan's war in Kashmir and if it withdraws its support, the war would be fought inside Pakistan," said Salahuddin, who also heads the Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC), a grouping of terrorist organisations based in Pakistan. He said he was "desperate and agitated" with the new approach adopted by Pakistan in the peace process with India. "Kashmir has been the key issue but now it has become peripheral as all claims of supporting our struggle politically, diplomatically and morally are nothing but lip service," Salahuddin claimed. He said he believed that militancy alone is the solution to the Kashmir issues. "All those who were involved in the so-called peace talks eventually admitted that India is not serious and that it gained more and more time to implement its own design for the region," he claimed. Salahuddin said he believed the Pakistanis were silent because of the existing dichotomy on the Kashmir issue that has placed Islamabad in a dilemma on whether to support militancy or the peace process. He said he further believed the Pakistani people must play a vital role in mounting pressure for the Kashmir cause and in forcing the Government to withdraw its new approach, which is "hurting the Kashmir struggle"

Hundreds of families were forced to flee when Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a fresh offensive against Kukikhel tribe in Tirah valley of Khyber Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on June 8, reported Dawn. Sources said that about 500 families, belonging to Maniya Khel and Sra Vela localities of Tirah, reached Ghundi village of Jamrud tehsil (revenue unit) while around 300 more temporarily settled down in Ali Masjid area. A resident of Maniya Khel, Saifullah told the media “Taliban came in a large number. They were heavily armed”. He added that Kukikhel volunteers could not offer any resistance as they had exhausted all their ammunition and also vacated most of their bunkers. Saifullah further said that Taliban were also supported by Ansarul Islam (AI), a local militant outfit headed by Maulana Mehboobul Haq. He also alleged that the local militant outfit was affiliated with Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F). Further, another Kukikhel volunteer Noor Zahir said that his tribe, which had earlier vowed to expel Taliban from their soil at any cost, lost most of their areas to Taliban fighters of Tariq Afridi group. He said that Taliban started consolidating their position in the areas, which the Kukikehl volunteers vacated after the offensive was launched. “Taliban occupied our houses and seized most of our belongings including household items, cattle and stocks of edibles, which we use to keep for winter,” he said.

The Jammu and Kashmir Government on June 9 claimed that no panchayat (village level local self government institution) member has resigned, reports Deccan Herald. “Such reports are baseless and mischievous. Chief Minister (Omar Abdullah) has taken up the issue of threats issued by unknown elements against panchayat members with the security agencies,” said Ali Mohammad Sagar, Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj. “I am the concerned minister and I can tell you we have not received any resignations from any panchayat member whatsoever,” he added. Sagar also said the government has asked Police to take necessary measures to find out the truth behind the threats and ensure safety and security of panchayat members. As reported earlier, media reports had indicated that at least half a dozen panchayat members had resigned from their posts announcing it through paid advertisements in vernacular dailies after militant threats. Meanwhile, the Government has reportedly put a very strong mechanism in place to check the activities of mischievous elements who were responsible for resignations (though not official) of about half a dozen Panchayat members in the Kashmir valley and ensure that the trend was completely curbed. "There was no specific reason and common reason behind half a dozen Panches issuing resignation letters in the newspapers instead of giving them to the concerned authorities", official sources said. Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra confirmed that a security mechanism has been put in place all across the State, not confining it to the Kashmir Valley where some resignations have been reported, to ensure that not only the Sarpanches and Panches have a free, safe and secure environment but the common man also. "We will get to bottom of the conspiracy. Who are the people behind it (the resignations)? Who have sponsored the conspirators? At who behest the posters or threatening letters to the Panchayat members have been issued? We will go into the roots and come up with a detailed report very soon’’, Rajendra said. The DGP admitted that night police patrolling was being revived in some sensitive areas, where it had been stopped earlier due to peaceful environment. "The patrolling has proved quite successful. The trend of any fresh resignation has stopped. Still, we have to go into roots of the problem and find out reasons for the resignations, though they were very small in numbers’’, Rajendra added.

Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal, head of judicial commission formed for the recovery of missing persons, on June 9 held foreign intelligence agencies responsible for the deteriorating situation of Balochistan, claiming that there was concrete evidence against them, according to Daily Times. Justice Iqbal said that foreign intelligence agencies wanted to deteriorate the situation of Balochistan in order to de-stabilise Pakistan. About missing persons, Iqbal said that the Chief Minister of Balochistan had sent a list of 945 ‘missing’ persons to the commission, and added that the complete details of even 45 persons on the list had not been made available. “We sent the list back to the ministry for correction but it never came back,” he pointed out. The commission’s chief said that in the past week, 12 people who had been missing were recovered from Balochistan. He claimed that some of the missing persons were in Afghanistan and they could not be recovered because they were in US-controlled territory. He said that 42 bodies of missing persons were found in Balochistan. He also said that “there is a baseless propaganda about the actual figure of missing persons in the country.” He said that according to the commission, the total number of missing persons stood at 460, including 18 from Islamabad, 117 from Punjab, 174 from Sindh, 170 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 57 from Balochistan while 12 each from Azad Kashmir and Federally Administered Areas (FATA).

Ongoing conflicts in different areas of the country are not being properly reported in media due to pressure and threats of different pressure groups and there is a dire need to address this sensitive issue, noted the participants of a roundtable discussion on June 9, according to Daily Times. The roundtable discussion with editors and reporters from print media, and representatives of civil society organisations on “Reporting Conflict” was organised by Pakistan Press Foundation (PPF). The ongoing situation in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is very critical and conflict reporting in these areas has become very difficult, as the reporters there have to face threats and pressures from different sides including military, militants, local administration and political groups. In Balochistan even journalists were asked by the Balochistan High Court not to publish the statements of militant organizations. Local media somehow covers the local issues of conflict areas; however, they are often neglected by the mainstream national media. Due to the sensitive natures of the ongoing conflicts, more and more news editors are opting not to publish even the reports based on real facts due to immense pressure of stakeholders, mainly the law enforcing agencies and militant outfits. Because of this pressure and threats, many correspondents request their editors not to carry their byline, or change the dateline of their news so as to ensure their safety and security.

Pakistan on June 9 said it was following a well-thought-out strategy to eradicate terrorism and would follow its own timeline in this endeavour, according to Daily Times. Maintaining that Pakistan was steadfast in its commitment to fighting terrorism, the Foreign Office said the country was following a “well thought out strategy to eradicate the menace of extremism and terrorism” and would follow its own timeline. “We are fighting terrorism and extremism in our own national interest and nobody should doubt our resolve and determination in this regard. Our sacrifices remain unparalleled and our resolve unshakable,'' the Foreign Office said, pointing out that Pakistan had repeatedly said it would neither allow its territory to be used against any country nor allow any safe havens on its territory. According to the Foreign Office, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta was oversimplifying some of the very complex issues that “we are all dealing with in our efforts against extremism and terrorism”. These issues need to be seen in the context of overall peace and stability in Afghanistan and the broader region, the statement added. Earlier, Panetta had said, “We are reaching the limits of our patience, and for that reason it is extremely important that Pakistan take action to prevent this kind of safe haven.”

The Times of India while quoting the United States (US) Counterterrorism officials on June 9, reported that the death of al Qaeda's ‘Deputy leader’, Abu Yahya al-Libi on June 4, 2012 is likely to accelerate a shift in power from the group's dwindling leadership in Pakistan to its increasingly autonomous franchises, particularly the branch in Yemen, whose focus on attacking American interests is sure to continue. American counterterrorism officials said Libi had played a pivotal role as the organization's theological traffic cop, enforcing a unified message and ensuring that younger fighters in the affiliates did not go off the rails. For now, Ayman al-Zawahri, Qaeda's nominal leader, still holds the broad influence that he has consolidated since Osama bin Laden's death on May1-2, 2011. But the hierarchical structure of global jihad may be loosening a bit. Libi's death in a drone strike has torn at the connective tissue between the group's embattled leadership in Pakistan and its far-flung affiliates across the Middle East and Africa. Libi's killing may even augur increased violence as younger, more impetuous fighters vie to seize mantle of global leadership, said analysts. Osama Bin Laden himself, in the documents that US navy SEALs recovered from his house in Abbottabad, worried about "the rise of lower leaders who are not as experienced and this would lead to the repeat of mistakes."

The United States (US) and Pakistan are working on the language of a possible US apology to end their stalemate and reopening of NATO’s supply routes to Afghanistan by Pakistan, as reported on June 9, by Dawn. Pakistan wants the US to apologise over a November 26, 2011 air raid that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers at the Salala military post in Mohmand Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The US had initially agreed to apologise but changed its mind after aides warned President Barack Obama that the move could harm his re-election campaign. Pakistan closed NATO’s supply routes to Afghanistan after the raid and is refusing to reopen them unless the Americans apologise. A team of US experts has been based in Islamabad for the past six weeks, trying to end the dispute and reopen the supply routes. On June 8, another senior US official, Assistant Secretary of Defence Peter Levoy, also joined the team.

US President Barack Obama has ordered a ‘sharp increase’ in drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas in recent months, website Bloomberg quoted two officials on June 9, according to Tribune. The US officials said that they expect Pakistan to halt Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operations in the country in retaliation to the drone strikes and shut down the only air base being used for drones. The US officials were further quoted as saying that Obama’s decision to increase drone attacks reflected the “mounting US frustration with Pakistan over a growing list of disputes”. Meanwhile, Pakistani national security officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to Bloomberg, claimed that all CIA officers working on the drone program were expelled and the drones were now being launched from bases in Afghanistan.

a Senior Official, District Coordination Officer Siraj Ahmad Khan said that around one hundred thousand illegal Afghan nationals have returned to their country from Peshawar since the City District Government issued warning to them on May 25, 2012. Khan claimed that unregistered Afghan nationals were leaving Peshawar voluntarily and a large number had gone back during the last couple of days via Torkham border. “Approximately 100,000 illegal Afghans have gone back to their homeland so far,” Siraj Khan told the media. He added that about 400,000 Afghans had been residing in the provincial capital illegally. He said that eviction of illegal Afghans would gain momentum in the coming days. However, a source said that International Agencies, monitoring cross border movement of registered and unregistered refugees between Pakistan and Afghanistan, did not report significant rush of Afghans at Torkham. “United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation of Afghanistan did not report considerable increase in number of Afghans, returning to their country,” said the source, adding that the United Nations (UN) Agency and Afghan Government regularly checked cross border movement. He said that 50 to 60 Afghans were deported at Torkham every week that was a routine matter. “Everyone will feel visible change if 100,000 Afghans leave Peshawar,” he said.

Nine persons, including four gangsters and one Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) activist, were killed in separate incidents of violence in Karachi on June 10, reported The Express Tribune.

Around a dozen men from Sheraz Comrade’s group parked outside Haji Salamu’s house and opened fire after he refused to openly support the PAC.

the UCPN–M senior vice-chairman, Mohan Baidya, has refused to meet Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda arguing there was no point in holding further talks with the party supremo, reports Republica. Baidya had refused Dahal´s phone request for a meeting on June 8 saying he would not sit for talks unless Dahal commits to meet three preconditions. Baidya also said past meeting between the two had not yielded any results. Baidya said his first condition was that Dahal needed to correct his past mistakes through ´self-criticism´. In Communist parties, self-criticism is not considered a normal move and is seen as a disciplinary action. Baidya faction had termed Dahal´s move to deploy the Nepal Army in the PLA cantonments as ´surrender´. Likewise, Baidya faction has also expressed strong reservation over the BIPPA agreement reached with India, terming it as ´anti-national´ move. Similarly, Baidya has demanded Dahal to abandon the line of parliamentary system and revisionism and also accept the line of new ´democratic revolution´ as another precondition to hold further discussion.

According to a Colombo Page report, Swiss prosecutors have planned to interview the head of finance of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who is imprisoned in Netherland. They have also planned to question some 25 senior ranks LTTE members; some of whom are currently imprisoned in Sri Lanka. They are investigating into suspected money laundering by 12 members of the Swiss LTTE to the Netherlands and Sri Lanka. The prosecutor office suspects that the Tamils used fake pay slips of Sri Lankans resident in Switzerland to obtain loans of $73,000 - $104,000. Once obtained, the cash was couriered to Sri Lanka where it was laundered locally and eventually used to finance the purchase of weapons during the civil war, the prosecutor believes. The investigations in Sri Lanka come after the Swiss Prosecutor’s Office made an official request to Sri Lankan authorities in 2011, which was granted. The mame of the LTTE members and date of arrest is unknown.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has claimed that hi-tech preparations were being made by the Governments and the Army in tribal Bastar region in Chhattisgarh to supress the revolutionary movement, reports The Times of India. In a 17-page detailed paper, highlighting various issues pertaining to the "Peoples' movement" in Dandakaranya region in general and tribal Bastar region in particular, the Maoists said unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones manufactured in US and Israel are also being used on a vast scale in the region. Alleging that the UAVs were being used for suppression of the peoples' movement, the CPI-Maoist has condemned its usage continuing its tirade against presence of Army in tribal Bastar region in Chhattisgarh. It also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for extending its support to the UPA government at the centre and favouring deployment of Army. "The UAVs take real time images, find out about the guerrillas' movements and their camps on the ground and send the data to the control room and in turn they are sent immediately to the forces participating in operations through modern devices", the paper said adding that small UAVs named 'Netra' that run on rechargeable batteries are carried and used by the forces during the operations. It claimed that 1800 new mobile towers were being built in the Maoist movement areas. A Regional Navigation Satellite System is being established under the direction of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Claiming that all these resemble war preparations, the Maoists' paper explained in detail their point of view regarding the presence of Army in tribal Bastar region. The rebels described the government claims a facade. The paper further pointed out that the troops' presence in Bastar was not just for training, alleging that it was an excuse to cover up preparations for war against revolutionaries.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) estimates that the face value of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) in circulation is over INR 160 billion, Indian Express reported on June 11. “The quantum of fake currency floating around in the country is enough to keep the terrorist machinery well-oiled and running. The closest that one possibly gets to a figure is the one calculated by a government committee in 2011 — over Rs 16,000 crore,” says the NIA report. Such notes, believed to have been routed from Pakistan, have been seized not only from India but also from Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Holland, says an NIA report, which also names Denmark, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE among the countries from where FICN is being sent. “The FICN is being pumped either with the help of active terrorists infiltrating through our borders or with the help of couriers who travel to Dubai, Bangladesh, Nepal and other countries and then supply the FICN to border smugglers in exchange for a proportionate amount of genuine Indian currency,” the NIA report further said.

The Special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, on June 11, postponed the recording of the statements of the accused in the July 11, 2006 Mumbai serial train blasts after the defence moved an application seeking to record the testimonies of two witnesses, according to Indian Express. One of the defence lawyers, Advocate Abdul Vahab Khan, moved an application seeking permission to examine a metropolitan magistrate, who had recorded statements of arrested accused under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Special judge Yatin D. Shinde will decide on the application on Tuesday (today). The court, meanwhile, allowed another application seeking permission to recall a witness, who had already deposed before the court as a prosecution witness. “This witness is a sanctioning authority and sanctioned most cases between 2005-08 and has claimed that the banned organisation Indian Mujahideen (IM) was responsible for all the blasts between this period. We need to examine him on certain aspects, which he has earlier told the court,” said Advocate Khan. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) probing the case had arrested 13 accused claiming they were members of the banned organisation Student’s Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). The agency in its chargesheet had charged them under various sections of Indian Penal Code, MCOCA and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

UN Secretary General's annual report (2011) released on June 11 on children and armed conflict said the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) recruit and indoctrinate children for children's squads and associations, particularly in Chhattisgarh and some Districts in adjoining States, reports The Times of India. This is part of the Maoist strategy for mass mobilization, the report said. It also pointed to recruitment of children by vigilante groups like the Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group). The report said, "In 2011, incidents of attacks on schools by Maoist armed groups continued to be reported." It quoted the Union home ministry statistics which showed that Maoists destroyed 258 school buildings, mostly in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar, between 2006 and November, 2011. "Government statistics indicate that the number of attacks on school buildings has declined progressively since 2009," the report said. Also, use of schools by security forces continued in 2011, it said. The Supreme Court, at least twice, ordered security forces to vacate schools in Chhattisgarh, most recently in November 18, 2011. "In January 2011, the Government of Chhattisgarh conceded that security forces were using 31 schools," it added. UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon recently sent the annual report to the Security Council.

With a view to check circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs), the Uttar Pradesh (UP) government on June 11, directed banks to be especially alert in order to check the menace and ensure security of automatic teller machines (ATMs) installed on the Indo-Nepal border, reports moneylife.in. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mohammad Azam Khan said, "We have directed banks to ensure special alertness to check circulation of fake currency (FICN) and emphasise on security of ATMs installed on the Indo-Nepal border". The minister said that the state government was also going to direct the Police to not only arrest those caught with FICN but also arrest the sources from where they got it. The Times of India adds that admitting the menace of FICN, the minister said that there is nothing to hide about the fact that the number of fake currency cases are on the rise in the state. At times, incidents of fake notes from bank ATMs had also come to light, the minister said, adding that in view of this Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had been requested not to allow money into ATMs manually and deploy guards there after their character verification. The Pioneer further reports that the Akhilesh Yadav Government is considering proposing an amendment to the Indian Penal Code (IPC), making banks or ATMs equally responsible if they issue counterfeit currency to any customer. Khan added, “We will amend the IPC and send the amendment to the Central Government for approval”. Khan revealed that 18 cases had been registered so far in connection with counterfeit currency notes in the State.

With the pressure of the Security Forces (SFs) building up on militants they are desperate to aim at soft targets across Kashmir Valley to make their presence felt, Director General of Police (DGP) K Rajendra said on June 11, Daily Excelsior reported. He said that there is lot of pressure on the militants operating in the State from their handlers across to act, adding, "And there are large numbers of soft targets available which militants aim at to show their presence." The DGP also said that all those strikes that were carried out in Srinagar in recent months have been carried out by militants who came from outside Srinagar for the purpose and fled soon after. He said that there are no known sleeper cells of the militants in Srinagar but didn't rule it out also. He said that militants target Srinagar and other towns for their high news value. The DGP said that there are no fresh recruitments of militants taking place in the State. He, however, didn't rule out few odd cases in parts of Kashmir Valley. He said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is making desperate attempts to recruit youth in Sopore but they are finding it very difficult. "There is hardly any recruitment as there is no support for it. One odd child they may recruit," he said. The Police Chief said that despite the elimination of top ‘commanders’ and coming down of the infiltration, the militancy is not over yet. He said that there are still around 200-250 armed militants in the State. "They are mostly in South and North Kashmir with Central Kashmir being least affected", he added. The DGP said that Tral, Shopian, Sopore and Kulgam are affected by the militancy and any one can sneak in other areas of Kashmir Valley to carry out the strike due to easy connectivity. He said that location of Sopore and its background is the cause behind survival of militants in the area. He said proximity of Sopore to the Line of Control (LoC) through Bandipora, Kupwara and Baramulla, easy to operate and easy escape routes in the area are behind the growth of the militancy in the area. On the recent threat to Panchs (member of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and Sarpanchs (the head of Panchayats), the DGP said that some elements are spreading rumours and causing panic to subvert the elected system in the State. He said that there have been some incidents and some of the Panchs and Sarpanchs have been targeted for various reasons other than militancy. "It is not something alarming", he added. Rajendra, however, said that Police is investigating these cases where the Panchs and Sarpachs have been targeted and have been threatened through posters. "We have mapped these areas, mostly in South Kashmir, where these incidents have taken place and joint patrolling is being done by the security forces in these areas", he added. On financing of militancy, he said that SFs have managed to block various channels of funding militancy in the State. But, he said, they are using multiple channels. He said that Police have identified the people who are channeling hawala money and have managed to choke the funding to a great level. Rajendra said that there are various channels like money transfer and depositing of money into the accounts of Over Ground Workers (OGWs) from third country. "Other banking channels of funding militancy are also being used", he added. The Police Chief said that LoC trade is also being used to fund militancy in the State. He said that modus operandi is under invoicing of the goods. He said that six cases have been registered in funding of militancy through LoC trade routes of Uri and Poonch.

Dawn reported that the TTP took full control of Kukikhel-dominated areas of Tirah Valley in Khyber Agency as more families left their homes and moved to Jamrud town of the Agency. Sources said that besides fortifying their positions in the newly-occupied localities, TTP had also torched houses of some Kukikhel elders in Bagh and Sra Vela. They said that the TTP made announcements on loudspeakers from local mosques and asked residents to hoist white flags atop their houses and volunteer one person from each family to join the outfit. One resident of Jamrud, Muhammad Irfan, told the media that except for Puk Darra and Daman-e-Koh, all areas, including Sra Vela, Bagh, Pathai, Ghakhai, Baarhi Saporhi and Maniyakhel, had fallen to TTP and residents had moved to Ali Masjid and Ghundi in Jamrud. He however, denied that any offer had been made by the political administration to any of the displaced families and said they had not received any assistance from local authorities. “The entire Tirah Valley, except Bazaar Zakakhel, is now under effective control of three militant groups, TTP (Tariq Afridi group), Mangal Bagh-led Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) and Ansarul Islam (AI),” confirmed Bakhtiar Mohmand, Assistant Political Agent of Jamrud.

Pakistan Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani's office turned down a request for a meeting by visiting US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Peter Lavoy, reflecting the strains that have hit ties between the two countries since 2011. A meeting was requested by the Americans but the General Headquarters declined it, unnamed Pakistani officials were quoted as saying. The officials said they were not aware if Lavoy was given any reasons for the decision. US officials in Washington too confirmed the development. One unnamed Pakistani official indicated the request was turned down because of allegations by US officials that Pakistan was not doing enough to rein in militants operating along the border with Afghanistan. "There are several reasons for turning down (a meeting with) Lavoy. It is to tell the Americans that you cannot be bad-mouthing us day in and day out and then expect a meeting with Pakistan's most powerful personality," the official said.

The Pentagon said June 11 that the United States (US) has withdrawn negotiators from Pakistan after talks failed to produce an agreement on reopening vital NATO supply routes into Afghanistan, reports The News. "The decision was reached to bring the team home for a short period of time," Pentagon spokesman George Little said. The team of negotiators had been in Pakistan for about six weeks, he said, as US officials had believed they were close to a deal with Islamabad to lift the blockade on NATO convoys. But no breakthrough was imminent and there was no scheduled date for a resumption of the negotiations, added Little. The US, however, would continue to maintain a "dialogue" with Pakistan and the departure of the expert negotiating team did not mean Washington had given up discussions with Islamabad, he said. "That's not to be taken as a sign of our unwillingness to continue the dialogue with Pakistanis on this issue," he said, adding that the negotiators are "prepared to return at any moment."

Terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has built their own Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) network that allows secure communication over the Internet, free of monitoring from authorities, as reported by therightperespective.org on June 12. The private system, known as Ibotel, is similar to other VOIP networks like Skype that encrypt audio signals into binary data. But because Ibotel was created privately by tech exports recruited by the terror network, it has so far been impenetrable by Indian authorities. According to a senior government official, “And even if we know their IP addresses and the time and date of their audio or video calls, we remain technologically handicapped because we can’t intercept what transpired between them”.

The statement emphasised on the death of Maoist politburo member Koteswara Rao's encounter death at Burishole in Bengal on November 24 last year. Apart from Kishanji, the Maoists declared that Srikant, one of the senior leaders of Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee died on February this year. Srikant, a member of the outfit since 1993, was suffering from a heart ailment. He played crucial role in the outfit's organisation in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra and last year during an ambush he sustained injuries. Sunita who was with the outfit for past 30 years also died due to illness. She was suffering from breast cancer. The red brigade lost their Telangana based leader Gundeti Shankar who died of snake bite in the deep forests of Telangana. Security agencies suggested that the Maoists were now facing a leadership crisis as a good number of their senior leaders were either in jail or were killed in encounters. They are now trying to build up the next line of leadership through their party congress. But due to regular operations, they have deferred their scheduled congress.

Times of India reports that two days after the lapse of the deadline (June 10) given to Indian insurgent groups (IIGs) by the Myanmar Government to leave the neighbouring country, army personnel have been positioned in close proximity of the rebels' camps, but there is no report of any militants fleeing across the border to India. "The Myanmarese army has positioned itself close to the camps of IIGs at Taga and other places but everything is as usual. There are more than 3,000 cadres of IIGs in Myanmar and there have been no reports of any of these groups moving to India, though there is pressure on the Meitei outfits," a top security source said. "There is certain pressure on the outfits of Manipur. Even Khaplang is under pressure from the Centre to withdraw his support from all the other IIGs, particularly the Meitei outfits," the source said. "For all these years, the IIGs having been staying in Myanmar and it could not have been possible without some kind of understanding with the Myanmarese army and its intelligence. We know for sure that the Meitei groups and other IIGs have been paying money to the Myanmarese army and intelligence through the NSCN (K). So, whatever is happening now is feared to be just a cosmetic venture. Six months ago, the Myanmarese army had closed in on camps of IIGs, but without firing a single shot, the army withdrew from its position. The same thing is happening now," the source said.

A local cleric, Maulvi Ibrahim Chisti, declared the polio campaign ‘un-Islamic’ and announced at the local mosque that jihad should be carried out against the visiting polio vaccination team in Muzaffargarh District, reports The Express Tribune. According to details, the local polio team entered the District’s rural Khan Pur Bagga Sher area and asked local families to cooperate with the campaign. When the local cleric, Maulvi Ibrahim Chisti found out about the campaign, he immediately went to the biggest mosque in the area and declared that polio drops are ‘poison’ and against Islam. He added that if the polio team forced anybody to partake in the vaccination campaign, then jihad was ‘the only option’. As a result, the polio team returned to Muzaffargarh city without carrying out immunisation, and reported the matter to Muzaffargarh Health Executive District Officer (EDO) Doctor Aashiq Hussain. A Police inquiry was ordered, after which a raid was carried out in the cleric’s area. However, Chisti had already escaped by the time the Police arrived. Residents said the cleric had tried to convince them that the polio campaign was a ‘western conspiracy’ to render the population impotent. After the Police raid, the polio team returned to Khan Pur Bagga Sher to implement the polio immunisation campaign.

He accused Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) of carrying out the attack because he had been opposing them for a long time and would not succumb to their pressure. “We are determined to fight the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) because they are against Pakistan and killing innocent people,” Fahim added.

The Pakistani Government should “bite the bullet” and re-open supply routes to NATO forces in Afghanistan in order to ease tensions with the United States (US), a senior US Government official said on June 12, reports Daily Times. The US had said on June 11, 2012 that it was withdrawing its team of negotiators from Pakistan without securing a long-sought deal on supply routes for the war in neighbouring Afghanistan, publicly exposing a diplomatic stalemate and deeply strained relations that appear at risk of deteriorating further. “If the civilian government in Islamabad would bite the bullet and make the political decision to open the ground lines of communication, that would deflect some of the negativity right now,” the official said. “It wouldn’t automatically turn things around, but that would be an important step.”

According to the 2012 Global Peace Index (GPI) released on June 12, Sri Lanka has achieved great improvement in the GPI. Sri Lanka's GPI score experienced the largest year-on-year improvement of the 158 nations surveyed and it climbed 27 places to 103rd position overall and 17th in the Asia Pacific region ahead of India (142) and Pakistan (149), reports Colombo Page. The GPI indicator of the number of deaths from organised (internal) conflict fell sharply in response to the fact that there were no casualties in 2010, compared with 15,565 in 2009. There were related declines in the homicide rate, the frequency of terrorist acts and the Political Terror Scale. The level of internal conflict nevertheless remains "moderate", reflecting signs of intermittent violence and reports of continued abductions and disappearances. Military expenditure has declined in 2011 as a proportion of GDP amid pressures to cut the country's deficit but the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) predicts a possible rise in defence spending in 2012, justified by security officials to repay loans on military hardware acquired to fight the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

India has requested the US to provide it access to the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attacks accused and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, reports NDTV.com. On June 13, India raised the issue with the US when External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington for the third round of strategic India-US dialogue. Both Headley and Rana are currently in the custody of US authorities. Headley is accused of conducting recce of 26/11 targets for the LeT, which carried out the attacks. However, Rana was acquitted of federal charges that he aided the terrorists who carried out the attacks. At a joint press conference with Clinton, Krishna told reporters, "India's interest in further access to Headley and Rana, in accordance with our legal procedures, for the investigations into the Mumbai terror attack of November 2008, was raised." In response, Mrs Clinton said the two countries are sharing information related to terrorism and other related issues. "With respect to information-sharing it is our policy and practice to share information, and we do that. I'm not going to go into details because we think our cooperation on intelligence-sharing, on homeland security issues, on counter-terrorism has gotten to a new level," she said. However, The Hindu added that Krishna noted that the U.S. had not briefed India on any progress in the case of Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of 26/11, on whose head the Obama administration recently placed a USD 10 million bounty. Krishna also implied that no further promises had been made by the US regarding India’s years-old plea for further direct access to Headley. While the U.S. defused growing anger and suspicion in the Indian corner by granting India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) access to Headley for ten days in June 2010, additional opportunities to question him have not materialised.

The Jama'at-ud-Dawa (JuD) has resumed online jihad, The Hindu reported. In a video address posted on its website, the website went online on June 13, JuD ‘chief’ Hafiz Muhammad Saeed explained the decision. “The media is a two-edged sword,” said Saeed, adding, “Rather than being overwhelmed by the media, we wish to use it in a positive way and, god willing, use it to spread our message of proselytisation and jihad.” Saeed's message is studied in its moderation. The website says the JuD “nullifies [sic., throughout] all kinds of violent ideologies that resort to use of force against innocents souls anywhere in the world.” Instead, it says, the organisation “struggles for the restoration of Pakistan's true Ideology of Islam that should stand as an example for Muslim world.” The website makes no mention of terrorism-related charges that recently led the US to announce a USD 1 million reward for information leading to Saeed's arrest. Instead, it notes that Saeed toured the US in 1994, lecturing on “Islamic Perspectives of Raising Children.” The internet registry service www.who.is does not hold ownership details for the Jama'at website, but records it is hosted by the Karachi-based internet service Magsnet. Magsnet's website says it is a marketing and web development firm whose clients include Nokia, Telenor, Standard Chartered and Barclays.

A new video featuring al Qaeda’s number two Abu Yahya al-Libi, who the United States (US) says was killed on June 4, 2012 in a drone strike in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan, has been posted online, reports Dawn referring to monitoring services. Both the SITE Monitoring Service and IntelCentre, which keep tabs on militants’ websites, said it was not clear when the video had been made. SITE said the video production date only indicated it had been produced by al Qaeda’s media arm As-Sahab sometime after November 2011. In the video, Libi denounces Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as a “tyrant” and calls his Government a “criminal regime”, according to the SITE’s translation. He urges the Syrian people to continue fighting and calls on fighters in Iraq, Jordan and Turkey “to rise to help their brothers and to sacrifice themselves for them.”

a senior Foreign Office official admitted that the apology, and not tariff rates, is the main hurdle for the resumption of NATO supplies to Afghanistan. Pakistan is willing to drastically reduce the taxes and transit fees it intends to impose on NATO supplies passing through the country only if the US accepts full responsibility of the Salala air raid and offers a public apology. “Once the US tenders an apology, the issue of taxes and transit fees will be settled in no time,” said the official requesting anonymity.

A senior United States (US) lawmaker Dianne Feinstein who also chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee (SIC) said on June 13 that apologising to Pakistan over the November 26, 2012 Salala incident would improve Washington’s relations with a key ally, reports Dawn. “National Security of the US will be better served with a positive relationship with Pakistan,” Senator Dianne Feinstein said during a Senate hearing on budget priorities for 2013. He observed that both sides made mistakes in handling the November 26 incident, which caused the death of 24 Pakistani soldiers in a US air raid. Senator Feinstein noted that the dispute over the supply lines could be solved “with some civilian acceptance of the mistakes” the US had made. Such an acceptance could also lead to the reopening of NATO supply lines, she said, adding that “it would do well to apologise” for the mistakes made.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that the US should examine setting conditions for aid to Pakistan but not cutting it off, as Islamabad's closure of supply routes to the Afghan war cost American taxpayers millions of dollars a month, reported The News. Asked during a Senate budget hearing whether he would recommend halting aid to Pakistan, Panetta said: "I'd be very careful about just shutting it down." "What I would do is look at conditions for what we expect them to do," Panetta said, without elaborating. The American war effort there has become more costly, Panetta said, because of Pakistan's decision last November to ban trucks from carrying supplies to NATO forces in landlocked, neighbouring Afghanistan. That forced NATO to use longer, more costly routes through northern countries. Panetta told Congress that the US was spending about USD 100 million a month "because of the closure of the (routes)."

The Times of India quoting Pakistan Body Count on June 13 reported that there is a steep decline in suicide attacks in the past few years. According to the data collated by Pakistan Body Count, an organisation that maintains a 'news-report based database' of suicide and drone attacks carried out in the country, the number of incidents as well as causalities, have witnessed a steep decline compared to 2009 and 2010 - the peak years in terms of causalities. The incidents which failed to reach even double digits in the five years spanning between 2002- 2006 suddenly spiked to 57 in 2007. The bombings claimed over 800 lives in that year. They went unchecked for the next two years and reached a peak in 2009 when 90 suicide bombings claimed over thousand lives. Although the number of incidents started declining in 2010 but the number of fatalities increased. In 2011 there were 44 blasts killing 625 people- nearly half of the 2009 figures. By March 2012, when the data was last updated, there were only 16 such blasts which took 119 lives.

However, Karim also said that if Chetia had not applied for political asylum like some of the ULFA leaders, he would have been pushed back to India long before.

It may be mentioned here that the Chief Minister had been demanding partial revocation of AFSPA from five peaceful Districts of the State including Jammu, Srinagar, Budgam, Samba and Kathua. Former Army chief Gen V K Singh had strongly opposed even partial withdrawal of the AFSPA.

SFs recovered a 4-kilogram Improvised Explosive Device (IED) from the Teok Habigaon area under Charaideo sub-division in Sivasagar District on June 14, reports The Telegraph. SFs sources following the recovery said that there was information about the movement of a group of Anti-Talks faction of United liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-ATF) militants in the area since the last few days. “The outfit has been serving extortion notices to oil companies, several businessmen and tea garden owners in Upper Assam. A few blasts would create fear among the public and ensure that the persons who have been served with extortion notices pay up,” a Police official involved in counter-insurgency operations said.

Srinagar Police on June 14 neutralized a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) module that was operating in Srinagar and arrested its five cadres, reports Daily Excelsior. However, the brain behind the module is still absconding. Deputy Inspector General (DIG, Central Kashmir range) Syed Afhad-ul-Mujtaba said that four of the arrested militants belonged to Pulwama District while the fifth one is a resident of Zewan-Srinagar. "We have been able to crack the conspiracy that was hatched to plant IED [improvised explosive device] in a car at Chanapora Bridge on May 17 and so far five arrests have been made. We are on lookout for the others and hopefully they too would be tracked down soon," said Mujtaba. "In order to disturb prevalent peace and public order a criminal conspiracy was hatched by the active militants of LeT outfit operating in the Tral and adjacent villages of the South Kashmir. Bilal Ahmad Bhat alias Bilal Lalihari resident of Lelhar-Pulwama, Sajad Ahmad Bhat alias Shadak resident of Zewan-Pantha Chowk and a Pakistani militant Qasim alias Qasim Bhai along with their other associates were entrusted with the responsibility to carry out IED explosion in the Srinagar city," said Mujtaba. He said Qasim Bhai was instrumental in supplying the ignition gadgets besides imparting training to other members of the module to trigger the IED. "Qasim Bhai coordinated the whole operation by providing money and arranged other logistics through a well knit over ground worker module. Mohammad Yusuf Lone coordinated with other members of the module to carry out the task. Yusuf used to work as source for the law enforcement agencies but later on switched over his loyalty to LeT," he said. "The explosive material was provided by Muzaffar brother of Sajad, who is an active militant of LeT. The explosive material was procured clandestinely from some of the magazines, which provide blasting material to the quarries operating in the Zewan and Khonmoh areas," he said. He added that on May 16 the explosive laden vehicle was brought by Sajad, Qasim, Bilal and other associates to the assigned place. The DIG further said, "An LeT explosive expert who is a foreigner had devised the car bomb which was detected in time and defused through a controlled explosion in Nowgam area of the city on May 17 by us. The explosive material used to prepare the bomb was locally procured by the militants. It comprised of gelatin sticks used locally for rock blasting," adds IANS. As reported earlier, on May 17, a car heavily laden with explosives was seized and the explosives defused on the city's outskirts

Generally we kill such people as they are responsible for the death of several Maoist leaders, but this is for the first time that we are forgiving such mistake. We are also a part of the locals and we have decided to forgive him, but if he repeats his mistake, we will not forgive him,” an unidentified Maoist said.

Afghanistan is expected to use the latest round of international talks on its future on June 14 (today) to raise pressure on Pakistan over so-called militant safe havens ahead of the departure of foreign troops, reports Dawn. Representatives from 29 countries will gather in Kabul for the one-day conference, which follows a meeting in Istanbul in November aimed at mapping out the future of the war-torn country after NATO troops leave in 2014. Afghan President Karzai says peace depends on regional cooperation to smash sanctuaries for militant networks waging violence in his country, and has voiced hope that Pakistan can help in this process. Pakistanis say that the Americans and Afghans are trying to find a scapegoat in them for the deterioration of the decade-old war in Afghanistan. But in Afghanistan and the United States (US), critics say Pakistan’s resistance to cracking down on militant sanctuaries has only fuelled attacks. “That is why we have continued to witness major attacks, including on US interests inside Afghanistan, that have frustrated US and Afghan officials,” Najib Mahmood, a political science lecturer at Kabul University, said.

at least four to six armed assailants shot dead a man, Pir Dad, near his house in Baloch Para in the PIB Colony Police Station jurisdiction. Following the incident, fear gripped the area, where the routine and commercial activities were partially suspended. Police officials said the deceased was maternal uncle of Ahmed Ali Magsi, who is accused of having connections with Lyari gangsters and has also been nominated in the cases registered against the killings of several workers and supporters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in PIB Colony and other areas. The name of Magsi appeared in the media when he was accused for the killings of MQM PIB Colony Sector Committee member Mansoor Mukhtar and his brother on March 27, 2012. At that time, the MQM had also demanded Magsi’s arrest. Police officials said that since Mukhtar’s killing inside his house in PIB Colony, the PIB Colony and its surrounding areas had become no-go areas for the Magsi group, but despite that, “the Magsi group was active and killing MQM men and law enforcers”. Heavy contingents of Rangers and police were deployed to avoid any possible clash between Magsi group and the MQM, as police officials believe there would be a reaction.

Daily Times while quoting diplomatic sources reported that international pressure was mounting on Washington and Islamabad to end their stalemate on the issue of reopening NATO route. Pakistan and the US are denying that there was international pressure in this connection, nevertheless, they express their desire to strike a deal at the earliest pertaining to opening up what is being technically dubbed as Ground Lines of Communication into Afghanistan that are causing tension between Islamabad and Washington. However, Foreign Office spokesman Moazzam Ahmad Khan, dispelled the impression that there was any pressure from United Kingdom (UK) Foreign Secretary William Hague and Danish Foreign Minister Villy Sovndal, Being friendly countries of Pakistan and the US, they do worry about the situation and have desired that the two countries should come closer. He said that the international community is concerned about the security and peace in the region and they understand that role of Pakistan and the US is crucial in the area. “They (Denmark and UK) wished that Pakistan and the US should reach some deal by negotiations and they should sit together to understand each other. But they never put pressure for doing this or that,” he added.

Dawn on June 14 (today) reported that in 17 of 20 countries surveyed by Pew Global, more than half respondents disapproved of United States (US) drone attacks targeting extremist leaders and groups in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. But the unmanned aerial strikes are popular in the US, according to the research. Sixty-two per cent of Americans approve of the drone campaign, with Republicans taking a clear lead. As many as seventy four per cent Republicans support the drones. Sixty per cent independents and 58 per cent Democrats also back the strikes. Outside the US, India is the only country where drone supporters outnumber those who oppose it. Thirty-two per cent of Indians surveyed said they supported the strikes. Twenty-one per cent said they were against it. Others expressed no opinion. The highest support for drones outside the US is in Britain where 44 per cent approve the strikes. But a majority — 47per cent — opposes it. The strongest opposition to drone strikes came from Greece where an overwhelming majority — 90 per cent — says the attacks should stop. Only five per cent say the strikes should continue. Egypt is close second with 89 per cent opposing the drones and only 6 per cent supporting it. Eighty-five per cent respondents in Jordan and 81 per cent in Turkey also oppose the drones. Pew also conducted a separate survey of drone strikes in Pakistan which will be released later. In predominantly Muslim nations, American anti-terrorism efforts are still widely unpopular. Just 7 per cent of Pakistanis have a positive view of President Obama, the same percentage that voiced confidence in President George W. Bush during the final year of his administration.

Foreign Minister (FM) Hina Rabbani Khar during a Ministerial Conference in Kabul on June 14 accused Governments of doing a “terrible job” at working together to tackle militancy in Afghanistan as she called for a more unified approach, reports Dawn. The conference aimed at building greater regional cooperation on Afghanistan and its future beyond the pullout of NATO forces in 2014. Khar reiterated Pakistan’s stance that it has suffered enormously as a result of terrorism, and said a more united front was needed among international allies. “We have been making the claim that we need to all work together to ensure that we win against them rather than they win against us,” she said. FM Khar responded to US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta’s remarks on “losing patience” by saying she was “glad we are not losing patience with anyone, despite losing 24 soldiers”. She was referring to NATO air strikes on a Pakistani border post on November 26, 2011. Pakistan was not supporting any militant group and that it was doing whatever it could to advance the peace process in Afghanistan which she said must be “Afghan-led, Afghan-owned”, she said. She further said, “Pakistan still wants an unconditional apology and the reassurance that the Salala type of incident does not happen again.”

Recent revelations about clandestine United States (US) drone campaigns against al Qaeda and other militants are not part of two major leak investigations being conducted by federal prosecutors, sources familiar with the inquiries said on June 14, reports Dawn. Most detailed information on the drone wars, which were initiated by the George W. Bush administration but expanded by President Barack Obama, is highly classified, officials said. But Obama and top administration officials, including White House counter-terrorism Chief John Brennan, recently have been alluding more openly to drone operations in public remarks, and detailed news coverage has been widespread. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has not filed a “crime report” with the Justice Department over reports about Obama’s drone policy and a US “kill list” of targeted militants, an action which often would trigger an official leak investigation, two sources familiar with the matter said requesting anonymity. However, the CIA did file a “crime report” following publication by the Associated Press last month of a report disclosing the foiling of a plot by Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to attack an airliner using a newly designed underwear bomb, sources said. Officials said the second leak investigation involves a series of revelations in a book and article by a The New York Times journalist about the alleged role of US agencies in cyber-warfare activities against Iran.

on June 14 (today), the hard-line faction of the UCPN-M has expressed its dissatisfaction over the seven-point agenda floated by Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal for party unity, reports Kantipuronline. The faction has said that the seven-point agenda does not create a basis for unity as there is nothing new to it. According to Dev Gurung, an influential leader within the hard-line camp, Chairman Dahal has failed to live up to his commitment to state in writing that the present line adopted by the party has failed and that he would apologise for the mistakes. “We expected that he would say in writing whatever he had committed to us,” said Gurung. He said that they had expected Dahal to apologise for failing to deliver a pro-people constitution, disbanding Peoples Liberation Army and the process of army integration. “Instead, the chairman has said that he is ready to apolgise if he has made any mistakes. This is not what he had told us,” said Gurung. Gurung also informed that the faction would respond to Dahal's proposal on Thursday.

Marak said in a statement. “If they still show no response in the coming week, then a total non-cooperation movement will be launched against the 24 legislators,” he said. Marak said the third phase of agitation, which will start from June 25, will be nothing less than a total boycott of all the 24 legislators.

The Telegraph reports that the Khaplang faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-Khaplang) on June 15 listed reasons for split. Wangtin Naga, minister for information and publicity of the NSCN-K, said the split in the outfit on June 7, 2011, was because of differences in political ideologies regarding talks with the Centre among the top brass. He said Kitovi Zhimomi, ‘general secretary’ of NSCN-Khole-Kitovi, wanted to enter into dialogue with the Government of India without ‘chairman’ S.S. Khaplang as New Delhi did not want to talk to the latter, who is from Myanmar. He said Kitovi also wanted to settle the issue of Nagas in Nagaland only, which was opposed by some leaders of the outfit. The NSCN-K had claimed that the Khole-Kitovi faction wanted to settle for an economic package, compromising the sovereignty of Nagaland, which has been pending for over 60 years. The rival faction also reportedly wanted the Centre to increase the number of Assembly and parliamentary seats in Nagaland. The outfit (NSCN-K) would not compromise on the sovereignty of Nagaland though Khaplang was not against any group or faction who wants to settle for financial or economic packages or an autonomous council, Wangtin said, while cautioning Indian Government that talk with one or two groups would not permanently solve the Naga problem.

revered social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi has been given round-the-clock protection, for the first time in Karachi, against an alleged Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) threat, officials said on June 15, according to Daily Times. “There is a threat to him by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which wants to kidnap him and use him to get their detained militants released in exchange,” an unnamed security official said. Aslam Khan, a senior Police official, said, “A letter containing a hit-list has been intercepted, which includes Edhi and two police officials, including me,” he said. But Edhi’s son and deputy, Faisal, told AFP that the TTP had visited his father’s office on June 6 to assure him that he was not a target. “They told my father that they respect him and admire whatever he does, and won’t target him ever,” Faisal said.

Republica reports that the Central Committee meeting of the dissident faction of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (UCPN-M) led by senior vice chairman Mohan Baidya has endorsed a political document that proposes revolt as its main political line and terms the acceptance of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement(CPA) one of the major mistakes. The 17-page document prepared by Baidya will be presented at the national gathering of leaders and supporters of the faction starting from June 16 in Kathmandu. “The objective circumstances are favourable for revolution but we should create the subjective circumstances for revolution,” the document reads. The faction has concluded in its document that national and international circumstances are also conducive for revolution. His argument is that the "capitalist" parties like Nepali Congress and the Communist party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) are in crisis and there is no possibility of revival of "old forces" like the monarchy. Likewise, it has concluded that the "capitalist and imperialist" countries are also in crisis. In the document, Baidya has labelled Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda and another vice chairman Baburam Bhattarai as the main obstacles to an immediate people’s revolt. “The [national and international] situation is favourable for revolution but there is no possibility of an immediate revolution because of Dahal and Bhattarai who deviated from the revolutionary line,” the document further states. “Now, we should struggle against the rightist revisionists and capitalists, bureaucrats and compradors.”

The officers of the Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) interrogating Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Mohammed Kafeel Ahmed, in connection with July 13, 2011 (13/7) triple blasts in the city, have said that he is the key conduit in what is believed to be a well-spread out hawala (illegal money transfer) network that channels underworld money to the terror group. Kafeel, the caretaker of a local mosque and well-versed with scriptures, travelled across the country to spot and train fresh recruits into the IM cadre, ATS officials said. The interrogation has also revealed that Kafeel knows how the INR 3.75 crore ransom collected in the 2001 kidnapping of shoe baron Partho Roy Burman in West Bengal was routed through hawala channels. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) believe that the money was used to fund the 9 /11 World Trade Centre attack in US, as well as the attack on the American Center at Kolkata in 2002, and that the kidnapping was carried out by persons who went on to form the home-grown IM. His interrogation has revealed over a dozen names that play a crucial role in the IM set up. Kafeel, along with Muzaffar Kola could throw light on terror financing through hawala networks, said police sources. Kola, whom the ATS alleges to be the key person who channelled INR 10 lakh to 13/7 mastermind Yasin Bhatkal through his hawala network, was also involved in the transfer of ransom money in the Burman case.

another Police constable, identified as Mukhtiar Sheikh was arrested on the basis of disclosure made by the previous three arrested constables, as reported on June 17. Sources said earlier Mukhtiar Sheikh was detained in the aftermath of November 26, 2008 (26/11) attacks in Mumbai for supplying SIM cards to LeT militants. But the case was dropped against him later on the ground that he was trying to infiltrate into the terror group. As Police continued interrogation of four arrested Police personnel amidst preliminary investigations that nearly a dozen constables could be directly involved in the militancy in Srinagar, the arrests had also caused concern to Central security agencies, which suspected that the constables might have been involved in gun-running and extortion. In view of their concern, Police officers have provided access of all four constables to Central security and Intelligence agencies. "We have provided access to all Central security and Intelligence agencies of four arrested constables though it was the Jammu and Kashmir police which blew the cover over this," Police spokesman said. Official sources further confirmed that the Police personnel had provided SIM cards to the militants. Constables had also been frequently changing their mobile phone numbers while passing on the information to HM militants

Central security agencies have asked Jammu and Kashmir Police to tighten security around All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders especially its former chairman Abdul Gani Bhat amid reports that terrorists may carry out assassination attempts to vitiate the atmosphere, as reported on June 17, by Daily Excelsior. A threat assessment was recently carried out for the separatist leaders in the Kashmir valley following intercepts that banned Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were planning to carry out the killing so that the peaceful atmosphere is vitiated in the region, official sources said. According to the sources, Bhat, who has blamed HM militant outfit for the killing of his brother Mohammed Sultan Bhat in 1995, was the prime target of terror groups. Despite the Hurriyat leader having given in writing turning down the security of the Jammu and Kashmir Government, officials from State and the Centre favoured increasing of "shadow" security cover to him.

The Assam Tribune reports on June 17 that that Mizoram Government is firm on the arrest of top leaders of the Hmar People’s Convention-Democracy (HPC-D) even as United People’s Front (UPF) of Manipur urged both the Centre and the Mizoram Government to release them. State Home Minister R. Lalzirliana said that the HPC-D’s ‘army chief’ Lalropuia and ‘deputy army chief’ Biaknunga were arrested as the outfit has been indulging in illegal activities inside Mizoram including murder, intimidation and extortion. Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla also accused the HPC-D of violating the terms and conditions of the Suspension of Operation (SoO) signed with the security forces under the supervision of the Union Home Ministry. Lalropuia and Biaknunga were arrested on June 10 from Silchar (Assam) airport by the Mizoram Police and were brought to Aizawl the same day and were charged with murder, criminal intimidation and extortion. The UPF condemned the arrest, saying “the HPC-D is one of the constituents of the UPF in signing the SoO and that the Mizoram Government should make approach for peace rather than arresting leaders of the militants who wanted that their demands be met without resorting to violence”.

The Sitamarhi District administration on June 17 prevailed upon Union Rural Development minister Jairam Ramesh and persuaded him not to venture into Naxal-dominated areas, reports The Times of India. The minister wanted to visit a village for verification of rural development work there. Led by the Superintendent of Police (SP), the District administration asked the minister not to go to Giddha gram panchayat (village level local self-government institution) under Runnisaidpur block, 35km from the District headquarters. "We have received reports that landmines have been laid by Maoists on a 3-km stretch of kutcha road leading to the panchayat," the SP told Ramesh as the minister was about to get into his car around 10am. Jairam told The Times of India, "This is my first experience when administration has refused to permit me to visit such an area. Once in Malkangiri, my chopper could not land due to lack of arrangement for refuelling there while in Saranda, landmines had exploded barely two km away from a place I had visited." He said following the repeated pleas of the SP, he had to cancel his programme. Ramesh expressed concern over the shortage of Police force and the low number of Police Stations in Bihar. In Sitamarhi, he said, for the 3.5 million people across 17 blocks, there are only 18 Police Stations, which are also ill-equipped. "This number should be doubled," he said, adding that "whether it is terrorism or Naxalism, the police have to fight the menace just as it was achieved by Punjab Police". Jairam also met chief minister Nitish Kumar in Patna before leaving for New Delhi.

Two troopers were injured on June 17 as Pakistan continued to violate ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC), according to Daily Excelsior. Colonel R.K. Palta said, “Pakistan resorted to unprovoked firing, using heavy automatic and small arms fire, from 12 different posts at 10.pm Saturday (June 16). Later at 11.15 pm, Pakistan fired mortars and a large number of high explosive rounds on Indian posts in the same area. The firing continued till 12.30 am on Sunday (June 17),” as reported on June 18, by dnaindia.com. The Indian Army also retaliated by controlled effective firing to the Pakistani provocation. “Troops exercised utmost restraint. The response to Pakistani firing, though controlled, was effective fire. The Indian Army continues to maintain a high level of alert all along the LoC (Line of Control),” he added. The tension started on June 11, when Pakistani forces violated the ceasefire at Krishna Ghati sub-sector of Poonch sector in which a Border Security Force (BSF) trooper was injured. He succumbed to wounds in the night of June 13. Efforts to de-escalate the situation received a jolt when Pakistan postponed the flag meeting scheduled to be held at Chakan-Da-Bagh on June 16, without giving any reasons. The Cross-LoC trade via the Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing also remained suspended, awaiting de-escalation of the situation in the Krishna Ghati Sector. The crisis further deepened on June 16 night when Pakistan Army once again fired on Indian posts in the Krishna Ghati sector without any provocation.

India has for the first time lodged a strong protest with Pakistan and given concrete evidence proving that Indian Mujahideen (IM), which has been responsible for a series of bomb blasts across the country, is a front of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), as reported on June 18, by Deccan Herald. New Delhi has also categorically told Islamabad that LeT was using the Pakistani soil to give training and other logistical support to the IM. The issue was discussed at length during the recently concluded home secretary-level talk in Islamabad. Pakistan’s intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), has for long been trying to project that IM was India’s internal problem of 'home grown terror' as most of its members were Indians. The basic idea of ISI, intelligence sources said, behind floating IM was to show that terrorism was India’s own domestic issue and that Pakistan has nothing to do with it. But Indian intelligence and security agencies have now busted that myth giving a complete list during the secretary-level talks to Pakistan of LeT’s terror camps in Pakistan where IM cadre, comprising mostly Indian recruits, were being trained. The details of this elaborate dossier reveals that LeT was using at least five camps in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) to train IM terrorists in use of making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and training of arms and ammunitions. These important camps, which have been on the radar of Indian agencies, are: Bait-ul- Mujahideen at Shawai Nalla; Al Massada, Ibn Taymiyya, Abdullah Bin Masood, Masker Al Aqsa. All these training camps are in Muzaffarabad in PoK. The dossier also states that most of these men are 'launched across the border' mostly through the Maskai-e-Ummalkura which is basically a tent camp used for transit close to the Indian border. The details provided by the Indian side go on to reveal that the top LeT commanders like Abu Muzammil and Abu Sama, are actively involved in training the IM terrorist. These two LeT operatives often cross over into India also to supervise Lashkar operations in the Kashmir Valley, particularly in North Kashmir. In addition, India also reiterated that the two founders of IM, Riaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, continue to live in Karachi under the ISI’s protection. “Information was also provided to Pakistan as to how Indian youth from various parts of the country are taken to Pakistan through Nepal and Bangladesh for training. This is the first time that India has taken up the IM issue with Pakistan so strongly,” a senior home ministry official said. The current chief of IM in India, Yasin Bhatkal, who is still on the run, is also suspected to have been trained by the LeT at these training centres in Muzaffarabad.

abduction-for-ransom has become a nightmare for residents of the volatile Kurram Agency, forcing many of the tribal families to leave their native towns and seek accommodation in Rawalpindi and Islamabad Districts of Punjab province, reports Dawn. After re-opening of Thall-Parachinar Road recently – which remained blocked since 2009 as armed militants had occupied this lone route to the restive area – the residents are now faced with the menace of kidnapping-for -ransom by militants. According to Member of National Assembly (MNA) Sajid Hussain Turi, so far 50 people of Turi tribe were abducted by militants, while over PKR 80 million had been paid by the victim families in ransom for securing release of their relatives. “The militants kidnap young and earning members in order to bargain for hefty ransom.

The High Commissioner urged states to conduct investigation that were transparent, credible and independent and provide victims with effective remedies. The Permanent Representative of Pakistan Ambassador Zamir Akram reiterated the position of the Government of Pakistan that drone strikes were contrary to international law and a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, and were counter-productive. He called upon the international community to pay heed to the concerns expressed by the High Commissioner and the Special Procedures with regard to drone attacks. The prominent human rights organisation, Amnesty International, in its statement, also said that the drone attacks “disregard human rights law” and that “the carrying out of killings….represents a fundamental challenge to the whole international system for the protection of human rights.” The American Civil Liberty Union, in its statement, called for “increased transparency and accountability regarding the use of armed drones for targeted killing”, and expressed concerns that “United States (US) drone killings have not complied with international law requirements mandating the protection of civilians.”

Nepal News reports that the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), the largest party in the dissolved Constituent Assembly, has formally split with the dissident Mohan Baidya faction announcing the formation of a new party, Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M). The Baidya faction announced the new party at the end of the three-day national gathering of its cadres at Sherpa Sewa Kendra in Bouddha, Kathmandu on June 18. Baidya, who was vice chairman in the UCPN-M, leads the new party, but the office-bearers are yet to be named. The new party has 44-member central committee, comprising those who were in the central committee of the UCPN-M. During the closed door session, almost all the discussion panels had suggested the leadership to form a new party rather than going for a patch-up with the party establishment. The national gathering also endorsed Baidya's political paper which calls for preparations of "people's revolt on the foundation of people's war". His paper described the UCPN-M establishment as "reformist and right-leaning", blaming it for the failure to promulgate the new constitution. Despite floating the new party, Baidya group has said it would still keep open the doors for talks with the UCPN-M leadership on ideological issues. The Hindu adds that in a document presented at the gathering, Baidya said, “The objective circumstances are favourable for a revolution. We should now create the subjective circumstances for revolution.”

Following inputs from the three arrested National Liberation Front of Tripura-Biswamohan faction (NLFT-BM) militants, Tripura Police conducted searches in 10 locations across the State in the past 24 hours, reports Times of India. Sources said during a search in the houses of arrested militants, who have been provided Government accommodation under rehabilitation package following their surrender in 2004, Police in Agartala had seized some incriminating documents belonging to the outfit. The seizure also included a letter addressed to NLFT-BM ‘Chairman’ Biswamohan Debbarma in Kokborok dialect. The news report states that NLFT-BM has recently recruited some 70 freshers in the outfit, who are now undergoing arms training in Myanmar and Bangladesh. In addition, Biswamohan keeps shifting his base between Bangladesh and sometimes in Aizwal (Mizoram) and the surrendered people were actively associated with NLFT-BM network, taking advantage of the rehabilitation package. According to the report, NLFT-BM has been suffering from shortage of funds for the past one year and they could not even pay arms rent to Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K). As a result, the NLFT-BM wanted some money to procure arms and repay the rent. SFs had arrested three former NLFT-BM militants and collaborators, Dhanu Koloi, Bishu Koloi and Ratasree Koloi on June 17.

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Shakeer Ahmad alias Chhota Hafiz, who was carrying a reward of INR two million on his head and was wanted to the National Investigating Agency (NIA) in connection with September 7, 2011, blast outside Delhi High Court, has sent feelers to the security agencies that he was ready for surrender along with some other militants on some conditions, according to Daily Excelsior. Confirming the conversation, top official sources said that Chhota Hafiz was presently hiding somewhere in Warwan hills in Kishtwar District. "Though we would like Chhota Hafiz and other militants to surrender and face trial in Delhi High Court blast and other cases, we continued our efforts to nab them simultaneously anticipating that offer of surrender by the militants could be a ploy to delay police operations’’, they asserted. Chhota Hafiz along with Aamir Kamal alias Kamran and Junaid Akram Malik were wanted to NIA in the Delhi High Court blast. All three carried a reward of INR two milion each on their head — INR 1 million announced by the NIA and an equal amount by the State Government. Sources said Chhota Hafiz, Kamran and Junaid Malik along with another HM militant, Mohammad Shaffi were all camping in upper reaches of Warwan but were putting up separately to avoid getting trapped together by the security forces.

A United Nations (UN) investigator, Christof Heyns, on June 19 called on the US President Barak Obama administration to justify its policy of assassinating rather than capturing al Qaeda or Taliban suspects, increasingly with the use of unmanned drone aircraft that also take civilian lives, reports Daily Times. Heyns, UN special rapporteur on extra-judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, in a report issued overnight to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), urged Washington to clarify the basis under international law of the policy. The US military has conducted drone attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, in addition to conventional raids and air strikes, according to Heyns. “Disclosure of these killings is critical to ensure accountability, justice and reparation for victims or their families,” he said in a 28-page report. “While these attacks are directed at individuals believed to be leaders or active members of al Qaeda or Taliban, in the context of armed conflict (example in Afghanistan), in other instances, civilians have allegedly also perished in the attacks in regions where it is unclear whether there was an armed conflict or not (example in Pakistan),” he said. Human rights law requires that every effort be made to arrest a suspect, in line with the “principles of necessity and proportionality on the use of force”, the investigator said. Citing figures from the Pakistan Human Rights Commission, he said US drone strikes killed at least 957 people in Pakistan in 2010 alone. Thousands have been killed in 300 drone strikes there since 2004, 20 percent of whom are believed to be civilians. “Although figures vary widely with regard to drone attack estimates, all studies concur on one important point – there has been a dramatic increase in their use over the past three years,” Heyns said.

Afghan authorities on June 19 said ‘regional spy agencies’ were behind the December 6, 2011, suicide attack in Kabul targeting a Shia gathering that killed more than 80 people in a veiled reference to Pakistani intelligence, reports Dawn. Attorney General (AG) Eshaq Aloko said the attack was planned in Peshawar, by “regional spy agencies” aimed at “provoking sectarian violence,” adding, “Although the Jhangvi group claimed responsibility, it was masterminded by some spy agencies in our neighbouring countries.” He added that two militants had been arrested in connection with the attack. The prosecutor said one of those arrested came from Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan, which borders Pakistan’s militant-infested tribal belt, and was paid PKR 10,000 to bring two suicide attackers to Kabul. He said the two arrested militants had confessed over the plot.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain said on June 19 that terrorists are facing internal differences so they will be unable to complete their anti-state agenda, reports Dawn. He said that Government was ready to hold talks with militants for establishment of durable peace in the country as it was essential for development and progress. However, he added that strict action would be taken against them if they refused to hold negotiations and challenged the writ of the Government. “We have two options — either to launch a clean-up operation against militants or face worse situation than the past,” the Minister said.

Chairman of the newly formed Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) Mohan Baidya on June 19 said his party was against parliamentary politics and that it might not even register with the Election Commission, reports Nepal News. He also accused the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai of ruining the achievements of the 'people's war' and compromising the party's basic principles. Speaking at a press conference organised in the capital to officially announce the new party on June 19, Baidya said his faction decided to part ways after the UCPN-M establishment chose "reformist and rightist path" and that their activities were guided by opportunism. The hardliner leader also accused Dahal and Bhattarai of trying to compromise national independence. "They went on to disarm the People's Liberation Army instead of integrating them in a respectful manner. They also failed to draft the constitution," he said claiming that the UCPN-M will not remain as big once his party expands its organisational base to all levels. However, Baidya said there was still possibility of unity with Dahal and Bhattarai if they admitted their mistakes and accepted the ideological line of the new party. According to him, his party has decided to keep open the door for talks for unity until its general convention slated for the month of Falgun. The party does not see the possibility of "people's revolt" right now, but it "might opt for it after preparations", Baidya added. Other senior leaders of the new party including Ram Bahadur Thapa, C.P Gajurel, Dev Gurung and Netra Bikram Chand were also present at the press conference

Deccan Herald reports that Intelligence agencies have warned Karnataka that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are attempting to regroup in Malnad area benefiting from Police's reluctance to initiate action against them and growing discontent among the villagers living close to the thick jungles of the Western Ghat over their land ownership. The Maoists are giving high priority to increasing their footfalls in the about 100-kilometre stretch of Malnad area - comprising seven Districts of Chikmagalur, Shimoga, parts of Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Hassan and Kodagu – and have deputed central committee member Kuppu Swami to establish a base and recruit cadres. Swami, who hails from Bangalore, has been tasked with supervising the expansion plan as he is familiar with the territory and knows the local dialect. Masquerading under assumed identities such as Kuppu Devaraj, Ramesh, Rayanna, Balaji, Jogesh and Yogesh, Kuppu Swami carries a reward of INR 700,000 and INR 1 million announced by Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh Governments respectively. Intelligence inputs with the Security Forces (SF’s) suggest that the cadres from neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Kerala are camping in the Western Ghats along with local Maoists belonging to groups led by Vikram Gowda, Latha, Mahesh and Sundari.

The protest movement in Jammu and Kashmir was never 'indigenous' in nature and was financially and logistically supported by Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) from the very outset, US attorney Neil MacBride has said, India Today on June 20 reported. The attorney made this claim in his explanation of reasoning for the sentencing of Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, executive director of US based Kashmiri American Council (KAC). He said the KAC was run by the ISI. "The KAC was incorporated on April 4, 1990. Fai admitted in a letter to the ISI in 1995 that he had already by that time been working with the ISI for more than a decade," MacBride said. Fai, however, had claimed the ISI-KAC link was only limited to receipt of funds from the spy agency. Fai had said he was approached by an ISI official with an offer to provide funding to KAC. Fai claimed he concealed his connections to the ISI because revealing them would have undermined "his credibility with his constituents and particularly with the government of India and the indigenous Kashmiri resistance." Fai was arrested in July 2011 and charged with being part of a long-term conspiracy with associate Zaheer to act as agents of the Pakistani government in the US without disclosing their affiliation. Fai was sentenced to two years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for conspiracy and tax violations last [2011] March. The sentencing was made in connection with a decades-long scheme to conceal transfer of at least USD 3.5 million from the Pakistani government to fund his lobbying efforts in the US. The sentencing was announced among others by MacBride, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The letter titled “Ban on polio campaign in North Waziristan” expressed serious concern over reports regarding TTP’s ban on polio campaign in North Waziristan and asked the Governor to hold dialogue with militant leader Hafiz Gul Bahadar to save children from becoming handicapped. “All the available means must be utilised to ensure that the polio campaigns in the area are not disrupted for the sake of the future of 161,000 children there,” a one-page letter said. It said that the Government was extremely concerned about eradicating polio from the country in general and FATA in particular.

The Ministry of Defence through an affidavit submitted in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) claimed on June 20 that neither the Federal Government nor the top brass of the Armed Forces had inked any secret agreement with the United States (US) to allow drones attacks in the tribal areas, reports The News. Deputy Attorney General (DAG), Muhammad Iqbal Mohmand submitted the written reply of the Ministry of Defence in the division bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan and Justice Waqar Ahmad Seth. During the previous hearing the bench had directed the DAG to explain whether they had allowed the US to carry out drone attacks in the country’s tribal areas. The DAG told the bench there was no secret deal between the Federal Government and US and this was the reason it had opposed the drone strikes, taken up the matter with the US Government and passed resolution in the National Assembly against these attacks. He argued that the drone strikes in the tribal areas were in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international conventions and the Government was even ready to pursue the case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). To a query, he said the US started the drone strikes during former president Pervez Musharraf’s rule and the court should summon him and ask about any verbal or written deal on drone strikes with the US. The court had already made Musharraf a party in the petitions filed against the drone strikes and given 15 days to his lawyer Mauzzam Butt to get power of attorney from him to submit his written reply about the drone strikes.

Two former top United States (US) officials Stephen Hadley and John D Podesta said this policy of “stick” should accompany “carrot” too, arguing that Washington can't afford to do away with Islamabad at this point of time, reports The Indian Express. “Given the distrust in the relationship, the US may be tempted to escalate its indirect conflict with Pakistan over Afghanistan, break any pretence of cooperation, and instead seek to contain the Pakistan-based insurgency to prevent it from operating in Afghanistan, India, or elsewhere,” said Stephen Hadley and John D Podesta in an article in July-August 2011 issue of the Foreign Affairs magazine. “Proposals for ramping up pressure on Pakistan include increasing the drone strikes, conducting US Special Forces operations in the country, cutting Islamabad off from international financial resources, labelling Pakistan a state sponsor of terror, and imposing sanctions,” they wrote. “But ending cooperation with Islamabad would considerably undermine US interests in the country. And given the resiliency of the Taliban insurgency and the inability of the Afghan Government to support itself, such a break is unlikely to achieve US goals in Afghanistan, either,” wrote Hadley and Podesta. Hadley was the National Security Advisor under the US President George W. Bush; Podesta was the White House Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton, from 1998 until 2001.

The Sangai Express reports that six persons were killed in a gun battle between Naga militant groups that took place in the remote Haochong village, located about 68 kilometres North of Nungba Police Station, in Tamenglong District at about 2.30am on June 21. The killed persons include two civilians, two cadres of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and one Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) cadre. Another militant killed has not been identified. While some reports said that cadres of NSCN-K and ZUF who were camping together at Haochong were attacked suddenly by rival NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) cadres, other reports suggest that the gun battle did not involve NSCN-IM. The battle was fought between the NSCN-K and ZUF cadres who were camping together and the two civilians were killed by stray bullets.

A bomb on a donkey cart killed three people at a Sufi shrine in Peshawar, the Provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on June 21, according to Dawn. “Three people have died and 21 are wounded,” Police official Asif Iqbal told AFP, adding, the dead included a five-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl who had come with their parents. “The bomb was planted in a donkey cart parked near the shrine,” he said. The donkey, whose front legs were tied with a rope, was blown to pieces, he said. The device was fitted with a timer and carried between eight and 10 kilograms of explosives, he said. “It appears that the target was the worshippers who were gathered here,” another Police officer, Tahir Ayub, said. The shrine houses the graves of several Sufi saints. The tomb of popular Pashto poet Rahman Baba is also near the Panj Peer shrine.

A UN expert urged the United States on June 21 to demonstrate that its drone attacks are legal, warning that the United Nations may be called on to investigate if Washington fails to act, Daily Times reported. Unless the US puts in place mechanisms to investigate its drone attacks, “the recommendation will be that the UN does”, Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson told reporters on the fringes of the Human Rights Council in Geneva. “Each and every US attack will be investigated. Somebody needs to do right by these victims.” Describing drones as “rather like leaving a loaded gun around and waiting for someone to fire it”, Emmerson said that the international community was “extremely concerned about the use of targeted killings”. Emmerson, the special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, said that 300 drone strikes took place in Pakistan between 2004 and 2012.

Making it clear that dual nationals cannot be part of assemblies, the Supreme Court (SC) observed on June 21 that foreign nationals could not be allowed to have direct access to country’s nuclear programme and other state secrets, according to Dawn. “If dual nationals are allowed to enter assemblies, imported Prime Ministers will come to power and rule over us,” Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry remarked. The Chief Justice said the law allowed citizens to hold dual nationality, but did not extend the concession to lawmakers. “The Constitution cannot be negated due to international law either,” the Chief Justice said. “We will ask the Election Commission to issue a notification like the one it issued a few days ago,” he said, in a clear reference to the notification de-notifying Yousuf Raza Gilani as Member of the National Assembly. He was heading a bench hearing a case pertaining to lawmakers holding dual nationality. The petitioner, Advocate Waheed Anjum, had accused as many as 14 lawmakers belonging to Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) of holding foreign passports despite a clear bar in the Constitution on dual nationality holders from becoming a lawmaker. The parliamentarians with dual nationality, however, claimed that they were loyal to Pakistan.

The US has said it was preferred to keep the cooperative relationship with Pakistan, than to totally cut it off, The Express Tribune reported. In a joint interview with Charlie Rose on a show by the same name, both US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Secretary of State James Baker underscored that despite differences on some important regional and international issues, severing ties with Pakistan would not be in Washington’s interests. Suggesting on how to proceed on the difficult relation, Clinton said that “first of all I completely agree it is not in our interests to cut off our interest, it is in our interest to do better direct and manage that relationship and we are asking Pakistanis to do more of and better.” “I think that our relationship with Pakistan has been challenging for a long time. Some of it is of our own making,” Clinton admitted on the programme. The Secretary added “we are living with a country which has a lot of difficult issues both for themselves and then for us and others.” In another context she said, “When I first went to Pakistan as Secretary in 2009 that I found it impossible to believe that somebody in their government didn’t know where he [Osama bin Laden] was, and I still believe that. That he took up residence and built this huge compound in a military garrison town.” However, she conceded, “But to be fair, we have no evidence. We have never been able to prove that anyone at the upper levels knew that. I have no reason to believe that the civilian government knew anything.” She, though, said that the answer perhaps lay with lower level military and intelligence officials. “So who was in what level of responsibility in the military or the ISI, whether they were active or retired, because we do know that there are links to retired members, but we’ve never been able to close that loop,” the Secretary of State said. Clinton once again called on Pakistan to immediately release Dr Shakil Afridi, who had helped the Central Investigative Agency (CIA) to trace Osama bin Laden, and stop treating him like a “criminal”. “They should release Dr (Shakil) Afridi,” Clinton said. “This is something that is so unnecessary and gratuitous on their part. Pakistanis claimed he was their enemy as well and my argument to them is that this man contributed to ending the al Qaeda leadership that was in their country and they shouldn’t treat him like a criminal,” she said. Pointing out that the militants were harming the host as well, she said that Pakistan, despite the talk of sovereignty, were losing it. “They are losing sovereignty, large areas that are ungoverned; they have a rash of terrible attacks more than 30,000 people have been killed in the last decades. They talk a lot about sovereignty, well the first job of any sovereign nation is to protect your own people and secure your own border and that is what they should be doing.” Clinton added that Pakistan needs to recognise that “as the US withdraws from Afghanistan it is in their interest to have a strong stable Afghan government and that can only come from by being part of the solution at that [negotiation] table to try to help with Afghanistan’s economic, political and security development rather than doing everything possible to undermine it”. Former Secretary of State James Baker said, “I think we need to maintain the relationship with them because they are a nuclear power, and because we do not want to see nuclear conflagration in the sub continent and see any more proliferation than we have already seen.” When asked whether the US could use a threat to stop aid to leverage the US into getting the Pakistani side to stop double dealing the US, Baker said, “I am not sure we give them enough so that’s gonna make them stop them – they should know we are upset about this and that should make them stop.” Asked by the host whether he was contradicting himself on urging for cancelling aid, Baker said that the US needs to “maintain a relationship with them [Pakistan], but we need to get their attention. We shouldn’t break the relationship right now, sever the relationship totally.”

US diplomats working in Pakistan face increasing harassment amid a sharp deterioration in ties in the wake of last year’s killing of Osama bin Laden, a State Department report said on June 21, The Express Tribune reported. Such harassment and obstruction is described by US embassy staff as “deliberate, willful and systematic,” according to the 76-page report by the department’s watchdog, the office of inspector general. “Official Pakistani obstructionism and harassment, an endemic problem in Pakistan, has increased to the point where it is significantly impairing mission operations and program implementations,” the report said. Harassment included such things as delaying visas for staff, blocking shipments of materials for aid programs and construction work, and surveillance of staff and contractors.

Home Ministry issued an alert on the possibility of a terror strike by Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) modules in the coming weeks, reports Oneindia.in. The alert was issued to both the Mumbai Police and the Odisha Government. There were reports on June 21, which mentioned the possibility of terror strikes by terrorist groups, but the Home Ministry on June 22, stated that their alert was based on inputs received from Assam Police with chances of LeT targeting the Puri Rath Yatra in Odisha. The fact that the LeT has been recruiting Assamese youth for terrorist activities since 2001 unravelled the gravity of the situation. Security agencies are taking into consideration this fact and heightened alert. The LeT is understood to be remarkably expanding their base in the North East, especially the Bangladesh border areas that have seen many insurgent activities. The terror alert has been communicated to all State Police officials and has also warned of a possible strike by the LeT in Mumbai (Maharashtra) as well. With the real plan for the strike yet to be known, the security officials are on an overdrive to find out the possible target of the group.

Police said on June 22 that the Policemen who were arrested for their links with militants had struck deal with terrorist groups for providing sensitive information and carrying their weapons from one place to another in lieu of money, according to India Today. Police said that on June 15, Muhammad Abas Rather of the criminal investigation department (CID) was summoned for questioning regarding an incident. "During his search, police recovered a document written in Urdu containing information about how to prepare IEDs and how to use them. It indicated that the person was in league with militants and was planning to explode IEDs to terrorise people. Even though the person was with department of police and was an employee of the CID wing, he was in league with anti-national people and involved in terrorist activities," a remand application of Police reads. The accused, the application said, met Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Shabir Ahmad alias Adil in Tral area of Pulwama District. During the meeting, he demanded lakhs of rupees from the militant in lieu sharing information, it added. "Then he met Muhammad Ilyas, Riyaz Ahmad and Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh. It was decided that militants would be provided pictures of police officials and their residential houses. They also decided to provide information regarding movement of police officials in lieu of huge money," the application reveals. Moreover, the remand application said that during investigation it was found that Rather was involved in ferrying weapons from one place to another. The Police hinted that more arrests are expected. The court remanded the four accused cops till June 30. On June 16, four intelligence sleuths - Muhammad Abas Rather, Riaz Ahmed, Mohammad Ilyas and Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh - were arrested for their alleged links with militants. Of the four, Mukhtar is the same Policeman who was arrested in the aftermath of 26/11 Mumbai attacks for giving SIM cards to the attackers.

The Shillong Times reports that Director General (DG) of Border Security Force (BSF), U.K. Bansal, on June 22 asserted that Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) ‘chairman’ Champion Sangma has been arrested and is currently jailed in Bangladesh. Bansal’s statement has confirmed reports appeared earlier that the militant chief is finally in the custody of the authorities. When asked for details about the arrest, the BSF official refused to comment further even though he said: “I am saying he is in jail from a long time now.” He said that the GNLA chief has to complete his sentence in Bangladesh before his extradition to India. Since his reported arrest in Bangladesh on November 2011, the GNLA ‘chairman’ is said to have been out of touch with the ‘commander-in-chief’ of the outfit, Sohan D Shira. However, the Meghalaya Police have so far maintained a stoic silence on the GNLA chairman’s arrest in Bangladesh. According to Bansal, both the BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) are working closely to ensure that there is no cross-border movement along the Indo-Bangladesh border. The BSF official also made it clear that militant activities in the State are under control since the State is going to elections next year (2013). When asked about the anti-India insurgency camps that are operating on Bangladeshi soil, Bansal stated that these are intelligent reports which are sometimes reliable but are not verified reports.

The Telegraph reports that the Breakaway faction of the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B), on June 22 announced that it would relax the ongoing agitation in Garo hills for two weeks, as some time would be given to the 24 legislators from the region to make their intentions clear. “The ongoing agitation against the 24 legislators of Garo hills will be relaxed for two weeks.

Marak, the ‘chairman’ of the outfit, said in a statement. “However, if nothing happens in these two weeks, then the third phase of agitation will start, where every legislator who fails to take up his responsibility as an elected representative will be boycotted,” Marak said. For the past two weeks, the faction has been on agitation in the form of a one-hour shutter-down strike and night road blockade.

UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda‘s bid to fill key vacant posts in the party after it split has hit a snag as the number of viable contenders has gone up unexpectedly. The posts of senior vice chairman, general secretary and secretary are now vacant after Mohan Baidya, Ram Bahadur Thapa and CP Gajurel parted ways to form the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist on June 18. Dahal held several rounds of informal deliberations, but failed to fill the posts as both his and Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai´s candidates have been vying for the positions. There are at least five candidates for the top three posts. A leader close to Dahal said the task of appointing a general secretary has become tough. Three leaders—Post Bahadur Bogati and Standing Committee (SC) member Krishna Bahadur Mahara from the Dahal camp and Top Bahadur Rayamajhi from the Bhattarai side—have claimed the post.

concerned over mass resignations of panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) members in Gadchiroli District, the Centre has asked the Maharashtra Government to ensure safety and security of elected representatives from CPI-Maoist threats in the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] hotbed, reports Business Standard on June 24. Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram spoke to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan recently and asked him to do the needful to protect the elected civic body members in Gadchiroli, many of who have put in papers after the Maoist intimidation. Official sources said during last one month, two Gadchiroli zilla parishad (district level local self-Government institution) members from Etapalli tehsil (revenue unit) quit their posts following Naxal ultimatum. Four panchayat and one zilla parishad member in Bhamragarh in the District had also resigned from their respective posts. The sources said of late Maoists have abducted many panchayat or zilla parishad members in Gadchiroli and released them only after they agreed to abide by the Naxal diktats. The Maoists, they said, do not want any development in rural areas of Gadchiroli as under-development and lack of connectivity give them free run in these remote areas.

in a change of strategy, the CPI-Maoist has decided to call off violence against armed outfits, including their splinter groups, for three months, reports The Times of India. The Maoists have invited leaders of other groups to come together on one platform and fight against the unified command of the Centre and the State Governments carrying out Operation Green Hunt. Bihar Jharkhand North Chhattisgarh Special Area Committee (BJNCSAC) spokesman Gopal in a statement issued on June 24 said the decision of unilateral ceasefire was taken to invite the other armed groups working in individual capacity for the common people to work from a unified and stronger front. "We can set aside our personal differences in ideology for the betterment of common people and when the government is harassing villagers and trying to suppress their movement for neo-democracy, all the groups must understand the need of the hour and join hands," the release reads. The appeal has been issued in the name of the People Liberation Front of India (PLFI), Jharkhand Liberation Tigers (JLT), Jharkhand Janmukti Parishad (JJMP), Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), Shashtra People's Morcha (SPM) and any other such armed group working for people's cause. The release says, "If these groups are working for the common people, they must come on one platform and accept the offer for ceasefire because the government has intensified the imperialist attack to gain control over jungles, villages and natural resources to hand it over to the corporate houses. If these groups do not understand the urgency of unifying our resources to fight the common enemy, their stance would be exposed," the release reads. Appealing to their own ranks and files to observe restrain, Gopal has asked the Peoples’ Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) cadres to abide by the diktat and refrain from attacking any member of the armed groups. "Our PLGA members must be vigilant and retaliate in case there is an attack but they have to avoid confrontation with the other groups during the period of cease fire," the release reads.

Apart from opposing the national park expansion plan, the Maoists have also urged the elected representatives to resign from their posts as they have so far played an indifferent role in addressing the grievances of people who voted them to power.

The United States (US) on June 24 said that Pakistan Government is "deliberately, willfully and systematically" harassing and obstructing American diplomats in the country, marking a new low in the already strained ties between the two nations, reports Times of India. The harassment and obstruction has increased dramatically and reached "new levels of intensity", said a State Department report, which has urged Washington to take the issue up at bilateral talks with Islamabad. The Department's internal watchdog said the harassment of diplomats had heightened since the May, 2011 US raid on a compound in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden and rose further after November 26 NATO air strike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, prompting Islamabad to block NATO supply lines into Afghanistan. "Official Pakistani obstructionism and harassment, an endemic problem in Pakistan, has increased to the point where it is significantly impairing mission operations and programme implementation," said an internal report of the US State Department office of Inspector General.

According to officials, Jindal was one of the five handlers present in the control room in Karachi. He was directing terrorists carrying out 26/11 attacks at every step. He also coached the 26/11 terrorists to pose as members of fictitious terrorist organistaion- Deccan Mujahideen to misguide the investigation, according to The Times of India. According to IB sources, during the interrogation, Abu Jindal has admitted to handling the attack on Nariman House during 26/11, reports IBNLive. Jindal reportedly told the Police that he was the one who trained the 10 terrorists. As per the details, he was actually involved in guiding and directing the terrorists at every step during 26/11 attack. Jindal has also admitted of travelling along with Ajmal Kasab (the lone terrorist arrested) and other terrorists on the same boat to the Indian border. Kasab's testimony, earlier to Mumbai Police, names Jindal for seeing off the 10 attackers at Pakistan shore. Abu Hamza, Abu Qaafa and Lakhvi were the others. According to NDTV, Jindal has 10 aliases and was sent to Saudi Arabia by LeT to gather funds for another major operation after 26/11. The Times of India quoting sources said, "Abu Jundal knows the Bhatkal brothers - Riyaz and Iqbal, bosses of Indian Mujahideen based in Karachi -- very well. He claims that the Bhatkal brothers used to come to joint meetings of Lashkar and IM. For the Jama Masjid attack, the Bhatkal brothers asked Jundal to provide a man, an expert in firing”. Further confirming the arrest, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on June 25, “The person who goes by the pseudonym of Abu Jundal has been apprehended and has been remanded to the custody of law enforcement agencies”, reports Telegraphindia.com.

Ranjan Daimary faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD) ‘publicity secretary’, B. Naijab, on June 25 said that there was no alternative but to form a separate Bodoland, reports The Telegraph. Owing to the State Government’s [Assam] failure to protect the entire indigenous belts and blocks from the illegal possession of the non-indigenous, this has forced the Bodos and other tribals to take up arms to regain their ancestral land, said B. Naijab. Naijab expressing his displeasure over the role of the State and the Central Government said that even after they declared [NDFB-RD] the ceasefire there was no positive move from both the Governments.

the Centre is taking the frequent desertion by Police personnel to join Naga rebel outfits seriously, reports The Telegraph on June 25. This was stated by inspector-general of police (intelligence) C. Sangtam while commenting on the recent desertion by two Nagaland Armed Police (India Reserve) personnel with arms to join a rebel outfit. Sangtam confirmed that the two deserters had joined a Naga outfit but did not disclose the identity of the outfit. But sources said on June 6, havildar Hotrong Chang deserted with one 9mm pistol, 10 live rounds and one radio set and on June 18, havildar Neiphukhrie deserted with one AK rifle, 47 rounds of live AK ammunition and some rounds of 9mm ammunition and a radio set. The sources said the duo had joined a certain outfit based near Dimapur. In the past, several Naga police personnel had deserted with arms and ammunition to join militant outfits. In April, Assam Rifles arrested police constable Enyimi Chakhesang for allegedly supplying ammunition from the police central store, Chumukedima, to members of the NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). The subsequent special investigation team probe led to implication of six Police personnel, including a superintendent of Police.

A hoped-for peace deal ending the war in Afghanistan will likely remain out of reach unless both the United States and Taliban put more clear and consistent offers on the table, Mohammad Sadiq, Islamabad’s ambassador in Kabul said on June 25, reports Daily Times. “We don’t think all these issues can be solved by fighting. There must be a political process, but the parties need to be serious about it,” Mohammad Sadiq, said during an interview to Reuters. “There is a lack of clarity on both sides,” Sadiq said, referring to the US and Taliban negotiating positions. The role of Pakistan, with deep historic ties to Taliban, will be pivotal in US efforts to broker a peace deal between the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the terrorist group, whose leaders are believed to be based in Pakistan.
