The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on November 1 demanded an "Interim Self-Governing Authority for the NorthEast (ISGA)," with majority powers for itself and complete control over regional administration "until a final settlement is reached and implemented." This was enumerated in the outfit’s Interim Administrative proposals which were handed over to the Sri Lankan Government through the Norwegian facilitators. While setting a five-year deadline for "a final settlement," of the ethnic conflict, the LTTE said that "if no settlement is reached and implemented'' by then, the interim body's "independent election commission'' would "conduct free and fair elections in accordance with international democratic principles under international observation'' to choose the members of the ISGA. The LTTE's demands reportedly include "all powers and functions in relation to regional administration exercised by the Government in and for the northeast'' including revenue, law and order, land and marine resources. Further, it has sought control over finances with powers over domestic and international borrowings and to "engage in or regulate internal and external trade." LTTE political wing leader, S.P. Tamilchelvan, termed the eight-page proposals as "reasonable, rational and practical."

Norway has no intention of abandoning the peace process, Deputy Foreign Minister Vidar Helgesen said on November 14. "We have received very clear assurances that the Ceasefire Agreement will be respected including freedom of movement for Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres and the Sri Lankan Armed Forces have been instructed to continue extending their fullest co-operation to the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission," Helgesen said at a media briefing in Colombo. He said Norway would continue as a facilitator, provided that there is clarity about who is holding responsibility on the Government side. Until such clarity is re-established, there is no space for further efforts by the Norwegian Government to assist the two parties in making further progress in the peace process, he added. He also said that Premier Wickremesinghe is effectively "out of the peace process" due to his power struggle with President Kumaratunga.

The Federal Government on November 15 proscribed three religio-political outfits under the Anti-Terrorist Act 1997. The proscribed parties/groups have been identified as Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan (ITP - formerly known as Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan [TJP]), Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan (MIP - formerly known as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan [SSP]) and Khudamul Islam (KI - formerly known as Jaish-e-Mohammed [JeM]). The decision was taken at a high-level meeting in Islamabad chaired by President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali. The meeting also decided to place Jamaat-ud-Dawa (the new name for Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT]) on the watch list under the same act. These groups had flouted the law by changing their names, as under the Act an organization banned once for extremism cannot function with another name. Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said that the police had sealed the offices of the three banned groups across the country. "The funds of these groups have been frozen and they will not be allowed to indulge in any public activity henceforth," said Hayat. The Daily Times has reported that Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan chief Allama Sajid Naqvi was arrested from his Rawalpindi residence.

The Federal Government has reportedly sought cash pledges from over 1,000 activists of three terrorist groups proscribed on November 15 in an attempt to prevent banned groups emerging under new names. "The government has asked around 1,000 activists of the proscribed organizations to submit bonds worth Rs 100,000 each that they will not indulge in terrorist activities," Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, Director General of the National Crisis Management Cell at the Interior Ministry, told Daily Times on November 19. Cheema said that the demand for the bonds was made in the context of Schedule IV of the Anti-Terrorist Act. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said that the Government had decided to seek "guarantees" from the terrorists instead of arresting them as "a new strategy". "We are not going for the arrest of members of these banned groups… We are closing down their offices to deny them a forum. We are seeking guarantees from them that they do not indulge in such activities in the future. This is providing them an avenue to correct their behaviour. If they disobey the government ban again they will be punished," said Hayat. The Minister added that "We have decided to ban a few more groups and a decision in this regard will be announced in a few days."

The six-party Islamist fundamentalist alliance, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), is to defy the new ban on renamed ‘Jehadi’ outfits and will support an outlawed Shiite group in its ranks. The MMA chief Shah Ahmad Noorani said after a meeting of chiefs of the six-party group in Karachi on November 18, "We condemn the ban on religious groups and the Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan (ITP) will remain part of the MMA." Under a new crackdown launched on November 15, the military regime proscribed the ITP along with two other groups which had earlier been outlawed in January 2002. Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan, the new name for the outlawed Shia group Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan (TJP), is a member of the MMA.

The Federal Government has proscribed three more terrorist groups under the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 on November 20. "Three more extremist organisations have been banned by the Ministry of Interior namely Jamiat-ul-Ansar, Hizb-ul-Tehreer and Jamaat-ul-Furqan," said an Interior Ministry statement. Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said these groups face the same charges on which three other organisations were banned previously. On November 15 the Government had proscribed Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan (formerly known as Tehreek-e-Jaferia Pakistan [TJP]), Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan (formerly known as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan [SSP]) and Khuddam-ul-Islam (formerly known as Jaish-e-Mohammed [JeM]). These six groups had reportedly flouted the law by changing their names, as under the Act an organization banned once for extremism cannot function under another name. The Minister said that immediately no leaders of these groups would be arrested but the provincial Governments have been directed to ensure that their activities are monitored round the clock. Jamaat-ul-Furqan is a breakaway faction of the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammed, which is led by Maulana Masood Azhar. Jamiat-ul-Ansar is the renamed outfit of the outlawed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), which is led by Fazlur Rehman Khaleel. Hizb-ul-Tehreer is a London-based Islamist outfit, which advocates the establishment of Islamic law worldwide.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, in his "Heroes' Day" address denied allegations that the outfit was re-arming for war and also claimed that its counter-proposals are not a step towards secession. According to him, "The allegations leveled against our draft proposals that they aim to create an independent Tamil State or that they contain stepping stones for separation are not true. Our proposals do not constitute a framework for a permanent, final solution. Our draft proposals deal with an interim arrangement." He also refuted charges that the outfit has been rewarded too much during the cease-fire period and said instead that they have suffered heavy loses during the last two years, pointing to the sinking of what he called two LTTE merchant ships. However, the LTTE chief admitted that they are recruiting in a "small-scale" for maintaining an ‘administrative structure’.

Mafia don and prime accused in the March 1993 Bombay serial blasts case, Abu Salem, and his associate, Monica Bedi, were held guilty by a Portugal Court on charges of forgery and the continued use of forged documents. Salem was charged on three counts by the Sixth Penal Court of Lisbon which sentenced him to three years prison term for forgery and continued use of forged documents; two years for resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer on duty; and one year for perjury on account of willful and deliberate false depositions before a competent court there on his identity as Arsalan Mohsin Ali, a Pakistani national. Although under Portuguese law, the terms of imprisonment add up to six years, the court sentenced him to a prison term of four and a half years. His associate and film actor Monica Bedi was found guilty on charges of forgery and continued use of forged documents. However, the court sentenced her to a lesser term of two years, as Salem reportedly confessed to having secured a passport for her in the name of Sana Malik Kamal. Both were arrested in Lisbon, capital of Portugal, on September 18, 2002, on an Interpol ‘red corner’ notice.
