Pakistan on October 1 rejected US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage’s criticism of its military’s cooperation in blocking Taliban infiltrators into Afghanistan. Armitage, who is scheduled to meet President Pervez Musharraf on October 4 in Islamabad, said on September 30 that he believed Musharraf was genuinely attempting to curb Taliban and Al Qaeda activity in Pakistan’s western tribal regions, but that he did not have full support. "But I do not think that affection for working with us extends up and down the rank-and-file of the Pakistani security community," he told US lawmakers in Washington. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that, "The president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. All security agencies are answerable to him and they follow his direction faithfully… Our government is working as one unit."

Maulana Azam Tariq, leader of the outlawed Sunni group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and Member of National Assembly, was assassinated along with four others in Islamabad on October 6. Their car was reportedly ambushed by three unidentified gunmen in the Golra Mor area of the national capital. Besides Maulana Azam Tariq, those who died in the attack were his driver and three security guards, said official sources. Inspector General of Police, Islamabad, Major (retd) Muhammad Akram reportedly confirmed the death after three close associates of the Maulana and some party colleagues identified his body. No one has claimed responsibility for the assassination thus far. This was the second attempt on his life. Earlier, the Maulana was injured during a bomb explosion in the Lahore High Court premises on January 18, 1997, in which at least 26 persons were killed. Azam Tariq won the National Assembly elections from Jhang as an independent candidate. He is reported to have formed the Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan after the Federal Government proscribed the SSP on January 12, 2002. Meanwhile, security agencies have barricaded all the exit points of Islamabad and Rawalpindi and security has been beefed up in the sensitive areas and religious places.

The News quoting an official report has indicated that over 100 sectarian terrorists wanted in hundreds of sectarian murders during the last one decade in Pakistan remained untraced by the security agencies thus far. Profiles of 133 terrorists from the proscribed sectarian outfits – the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-e-Mohammed (SMP) - wanted in sectarian killings were prepared by the security agencies. Official sources have indicated that thus far an estimated 33 have either been arrested or killed in encounters with the police. Further, many of these wanted sectarian terrorists were regrouping after a brief lull in sectarian violence since the fall of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. These terrorists are allegedly responsible for the fresh wave of sectarian violence in Quetta, Karachi and now in Islamabad. An official report has reportedly revealed that majority of these wanted terrorists had been living in the President Palace in Kabul during the Taliban regime. A majority of these terrorists trained in Afghanistan returned to Pakistan after the US attacked Afghanistan.

According to media reports, the United States has designated Pakistan-based Mafia don Dawood Ibrahim as a global terrorist having links with the Al Qaeda and financing activities of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other terrorist groups. Ibrahim, an accused in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, is part of India's most-wanted list of 20 fugitives handed over to Pakistan. The US Treasury Department on October 16 announced that Dawood Ibrahim alias Sheikh Dawood Hassan has been put in the list of 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' and his assets within the US have been frozen. Such a designation freezes any assets belonging to Ibrahim within the US and prohibits transactions with American nationals, the announcement said. The US administration is to request the United Nations (UN) to list Ibrahim in pursuance of relevant Security Council resolutions. The UN listing will require that all its member-states freeze his assets and also impose a travel ban.

The Mujahideen have a right to cross the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir to "fight a jihad against Indian forces", claimed Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), at the close of a three-day Jamaat-ud-Dawa (the new name of LeT) congregation on October 17 at Pattoki in the Punjab province. "This cannot be called infiltration because Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan and fighting for freedom is not a sin," said Saeed. While admitted that LeT cadres were ‘fighting’ in India and other parts of the world, he noted "Jihad is our obligation and we will sacrifice everything for it. We are not just fighting in Kashmir, but also in Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya." The Daily Times reported that former Inter Services Intelligence Chief General Hammed Gul also attended the congregation and met Saeed.

Pakistan on October 29 made a response to the Indian confidence-building measures (CBMs) and hoped that discussions on the CBMs would lead New Delhi to resume a sustained and composite dialogue with Islamabad on all contentious issues, notably the Kashmir dispute. Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokhar told a press conference that Pakistan had decided to respond positively to the Indian proposals along with some of its own steps. Referring to the Indian proposal of introducing a bus service between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, the foreign secretary said that could be welcome provided there were checkpoints manned by the United Nations and Kashmiri passengers carried UN travel papers. Besides, Pakistan offered medical aid and assistance to Kashmiri victims of violence and rape, and to widows from the Valley. Pakistan, he said, was offering scholarships for 100 Kashmiri students for studies in graduate and post-graduate courses in professional institutions. Pakistan, the secretary said, accepted the proposals pertaining to the resumption of the Samjhauta Express between Lahore and Delhi, sports ties, visa camps with provision of necessary infrastructure and staff, land border crossing by people in the age group of 65 and above, and setting up of a hotline between Pakistan's maritime agency and Indian coast guards to ensure humanitarian and expeditious assistance to arrested fishermen of either country. About the Indian suggestions for Mumbai-Karachi ferry service and opening a land route between Munabao and Khokhrapar, the secretary said these issues should better be left for consideration at negotiations whenever the two sides decided to resume dialogue.
