Akmal Hashim, a terrorist of Pakistani nationality, arrested from the Damal Hanjipora area of Jammu and Kashmir on August 23, was flown to Mumbai on September 2, according to The Hindu. Affiliated to the Al-Badr outfit, Hashim is to be questioned for his possible role in the July 11, 2006-serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. According to Hashim's interrogation report, a group of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists with whom he had been billeted in the Gool-Gulabgarh high-altitude forests of Udhampur claimed organisational responsibility for the bombings. "Mujhe Lashkar ke bhaiyon ne bataya ki hamney blast karaye [the Lashkar brothers told me that their organisation had executed the bombings]," the report records Hashim as saying. Hashim, belonging to the Gujrat town in Pakistan, served as a Lance Naik in the Pakistan Army until 1996. After resigning from the Army, he reportedly joined the Al-Badr.

All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) demonstrated demanding immediate eviction of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, who have reportedly encroached on the Kaziranga National Park in the Jorhat district, reports Assam Tribune. “Of late, there has been quite an increase in the population of unauthorized settlers on government land bordering Kaziranga. This growing population is definitely a grave potential threat to the national park, as the encroachers do not have any source of viable income and it is natural for them to indulge in activities detrimental to the national park’s interests to eke out a living,” said senior officials of the Forest Department. However, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, denied that there has been any encroachment of tracts in the Kaziranga National Park or of other forest reserve areas in the State.

An agenda paper prepared by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for the September 5 conclave of Chief Ministers on internal security, says that cross-border terrorism has spread to the hinterland and infiltration, in comparison to the same period last year, has trebled. Indian Express quoting from the agenda paper reports that Pakistan still continues to aid and abet terrorism and terrorist groups, particularly the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), are targeting India with the help of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The total number of infiltration have doubled from 21 (January-July 2005) to 50 (January-July 2006) while the number of infiltration foiled have declined during the same period. According to the paper, cross-border infiltration has nearly trebled from 170 (January-July, 2005) to 476 (January-July, 2006). The number of grenade attacks in Jammu and Kashmir (January-July 2006) total 176. Although the MHA claims that the total number of incidents involving Naxalites between January-July 2006 have gone down to 930 as compared to 1039 during January-July 2005, the number of casualties has increased from 407 to 487 during the same period. The agenda paper says Naxalites are now organising themselves on military lines.

According to Daily Times, Pukhtoon militants who fought against the US-led invasion of Afghanistan have formed a new anti-Shia militant group, according to investigators inquiring into the assassination of Shia leader Allama Hassan Turabi. Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials had reportedly learnt of the new group from interrogations of three men arrested for suspicion of involvement in the prominent Shia cleric’s murder in Karachi. The FIA team, headed by its Director General, Tariq Pervaiz, has sent a report to the Interior Ministry detailing its findings. The suspects, Sultan Mehmood alias Saifullah, Mohammad Amin alias Khalid and Mohammad Rehman alias Mani, told investigators the group was planning suicide attacks against Shia leaders, says the report. The new militant group is led by Mufti Ilyas and Hazrat Ali of Darra Adam Khel. Its members include men who recently fought against US forces in Afghanistan, and have links with Abdullah Mehsud, the militant leader responsible for the attack on Chinese engineers at the Gomal Zam Dam site, and other militants from Waziristan and Afghanistan. It also includes some women members. The report says that the new group has no links with any other militant groups, including the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), and is active in Quetta, Karachi and other major cities in Pakistan. It also says the group has established a supply line of weapons and ammunition between Darra Adam Khel and Karachi.

Defence spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella told The Hindu, "it is a follow up to the arrest of eight persons by the U.S. on August 19 on charges of conspiring to provide material support to LTTE as well as legislation by Sri Lanka Parliament last month against money laundering. There are certain charges against the TRO and if the investigations do not reveal any link, the freeze would be lifted." The Financial Intelligence Unit of the Central Bank begun investigating the TRO financial transactions under the recently introduced Financing of Terrorism Law, adds Daily News.

The United States, United Kingdom and Australia have started investigating this internationally registered charity organisation, which is reported to run active branches in 28 countries, including Switzerland, France, Germany, Norway and Denmark, for any terrorist links.

The Sri Lanka Government expressed satisfaction over the recapture of strategic Sampur and neutralising LTTE artillery threats but stressed the victory would not lead the country to an all out war. Addressing the media on September 4, Defence spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said the Government's real victory was in the progress of the peace process, adding, "Our objective was not to capture land. What we did was in the national interest. What the government troops performed was not a war for conquer of a part of the land or eviction of the public living there. Troops launched attacks on selected LTTE targets that were posing a huge threat to security in Trincomalee in order to neutralize LTTE’s gun positions. We knew our targets and went for that and it should not be interpreted as a full-scale war or an attempt to conquer a part of the land or so. With the re-capture of the area, LTTE threat factor has been scaled down to a great extent. He also said that despite the recent military operations, both sides have pledged to uphold the truce, adding, "We are happy the LTTE has not withdrawn from the CFA as they warned before the recapture of Sampur. There is no victory there. But the Government is happy it could neutralise artillery threats to the naval port and other vital economic centres in the East." Over 200 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres were killed in the ongoing conflict in Sampur, according to him.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy said on September 5 that the two-pronged strategy of development and vigilance pursued by his Government had resulted in containing threat to internal security both from Maoists and terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Participating in the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal Security, Reddy said the law and order situation in the State was under control. He said Maoists posed the biggest challenge to law and order with the group's activities affecting 500 police station areas spread over 19 districts. The Chief Minister said the Maoists had no public support and were engaging in hit-and-run tactics. He said that the Government had set up a Department for Remote and Interior Area development to speed up developmental activities in the areas that were usual recruitment grounds for extremists. During the last two years, he said, 2.5 lakh acres of land had been distributed to the poor and the Government had undertaken an ambitious programme to bring additional land under irrigation. In order to promote employment opportunities for tribal youth, the State Government trained over 7,000 youths in various trades and of them, some 2,200 were employed. In addition, 3000 home guards were recruited from extremist- affected areas. The Government also strengthened intelligence network and raised two India Reserve battalions. The Chief Minister sought deployment of two battalions of Central paramilitary forces in the State to neutralise the Maoists. Claiming that the State's policy to rehabilitate surrendered extremists was successful, Reddy said during the last three years, over 8,000 Maoist cadres had surrendered and Maoist violence was under control with security forces gaining the upper hand. Referring to Islamist extremism, the Chief Minister informed that security agencies unearthed eight modules of militant outfits and 87 persons had been arrested in the last three years.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said intelligence agencies had warned of a further intensification of terrorist violence with the possibility of more Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks, according to The Hindu. He said that use of suicide bombers; attacks on economic and religious targets and targeting of vital installations, including nuclear establishments and Army camps, were very much on the agenda of terrorist outfits. The Prime Minister also said intelligence reports had suggested that terrorist modules and "sleeper cells" existed in some of the urban areas. Dr. Singh said the country was confronted with an array of complex internal security problems and threats and each of these needed to be dealt with in different ways. Focussing on left-wing extremism, terrorism and how to assuage feelings of insecurity among minorities, particularly Muslims, the meeting also reviewed developments in the North-East and Jammu and Kashmir. Stressing upon the need to have greater alertness by the States and local intelligence agencies as also the police, who have a locational advantage, the Prime Minister said that unless the "beat constable" was brought into the vortex of the counter-terrorist strategy, the capacity to pre-empt future attacks would be severely limited.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh said that the Centre should play a more “proactive role” and that the Maoist problem could be effectively tackled with the constitution of a dedicated force on the lines of the Rapid Action Force that was formed to deal with riots. He made a plea that at least hundred battalions should be earmarked for the purpose of combating left-wing extremism. Criticising the Centre’s “battalion approach”, he said only sending paramilitary forces would not help put an end to the problem. “The first condition that needs to be fulfilled is a national policy on Naxalism on the lines of Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast. It should be kept in mind that it is an inter-state movement and different states following different policies could only prove counter-productive,” he said, after the meeting, citing the example of a ban on the movement in one state when efforts were being made to initiate talks simultaneously in another state.

Speaking at the Chief Ministers’ Conference on Internal Security in New Delhi on September 5, the Karnataka Chief Minister, H.D. Kumaraswamy, disclosed that 13 districts had been affected by left-wing extremism and there were about 200 Maoist cadres with 60 operating in two or three armed groups in the Malnad region. He further said, "They have automatic weapons, 8 mm rifles, IED (improvised explosive device) and hand grenades, and have also two-way VHF communication equipment,'' adding, several initiatives had been taken by the Government to tackle the danger posed by the Maoists and an anti-Maoist force had been set up with 543 personnel and located at Udupi in the Malnad area. He said a proposal to raise a commando force on the lines of the Greyhounds/National Security Guard was being finalised. On terrorism, he said Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists with links to their counterparts in Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the country had infiltrated Karnataka, especially to Chintamani and Mulbagal in the Kolar district. "These terrorists try to operate through madrassas and other organisations in the State,” he said and added that their objective was to destabilise the economy by attacking vital installations. Kumaraswamy also urged the Union Government to establish two Rapid Action Force battalions in the State, which could be used to tackle terrorism, Naxalism and communal disturbances.

Taliban militants signed a peace agreement with the Government on September 5, pledging not to launch cross-border attacks in Afghanistan and not to shelter foreign fighters, according to Daily Times. The agreement aims to end two years of violence in North Waziristan, where hundreds of people have died in clashes between security forces and Taliban militants. The Taliban had been observing a unilateral cease-fire since June 2006. Taliban representative Azad Khan and North Waziristan chief administrator Fakhar-e-Alam signed the agreement in Miranshah, in the presence of army commander Major General Azhar Ali Shah. “Misunderstandings between the administration and Taliban led to unpleasant moments, but we are happy that a new beginning starts today,” parliamentarian Maulana Nek Zaman of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal said at the ceremony, witnessed by around 500 tribesmen. A 10-member committee of tribal elders, clerics and administration officials was set up to monitor the progress and implementation of the agreement, a Government statement read. Under the agreement, the Taliban accepted the Government demand that cross-border attacks would not be launched nor foreign militants sheltered. They also agreed not to attack Government buildings or security forces, and not to conduct “target killings” of Government servants, tribal elders and journalists. In return, the Government agreed to stop air and ground operations; return all weapons and other material seized during operations; restore privileges of tribesmen; and remove all check-posts.

The Bahraich District court in Uttar Pradesh on September 6 granted permission to withdraw a treason case against the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) chief Shahid Badar Falah and 11 other members of the outfit, according to Hindustan Times. The court also analysed audio and video recordings of Falah’s speech on the request of a group of lawyers, who were opposing the withdrawal. District Government Council (DGC) Anwar Ahmad Khan, who was pursuing the case, submitted several arguments before the court for withdrawing the case. The DGC said after studying the case diary of Falah he found that no prima-facie case can be made out in the matter and there was no ground to continue the case. Besides, the base of the First Information Report (FIR) was very weak and there were several errors in the FIR lodged by the Kotwali police against Falah and others. SIMI’s lawyer Mohammed Farooq reportedly said all the accused were innocent and they did nothing unlawful. Falah had allegedly delivered an inflammatory speech at Sir Syed Girls College in Bahraich on September 16, 2001. He called Muslims to take Quran in one hand and sword in the other hand and also allegedly said we would follow rules of Quran and not those made in the Constitution.

A peace deal between Pakistan and pro-Taliban militants does not give “safe haven” to terrorists who may be hiding on tribal lands near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, US President George W Bush said in an interview on September 7, according to Daily Times. “I don’t read it that way,” Bush said of the agreement signed on September 5 in which the militants agreed to stop attacks in the region. “What he is doing is entering agreements with governors in the regions of the country, in the hopes that there would be an economic vitality, there will be alternatives to violence and terror,” Bush said in an ABC News interview. Bush said he did not know all the details of the agreement but added that he would be seeing Musharraf “pretty soon”. “You know, we are watching this very carefully, obviously,” Bush noted.

President Pervez Musharraf on September 7 publicly acknowledged that Al Qaeda and Taliban militants were crossing from Pakistan to launch attacks inside Afghanistan, stressing that such actions were neither Government- nor ISI- (Inter-Services Intelligence) sponsored, according to Daily Times. In an address in Kabul attended by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, General Musharraf said: “There are Qaeda and Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Certainly they are crossing from (the) Pakistan side and causing bomb blasts and terrorist activities in your country.” However, he claimed, “Let me say neither the government of Pakistan nor ISI is involved in any kind of interference inside Afghanistan.” Saying that both sides had to now end the “blame game”, he urged Kabul to work with Islamabad on a new strategy to combat the Taliban. According to a joint statement issued by the Pakistani Foreign Office at the conclusion of Gen. Musharraf’s two-day visit to Afghanistan, the leaders had agreed to consolidate relations between the two countries. They agreed that extremism, terrorism and the phenomenon of Talibanisation were a common threat to Afghanistan, Pakistan and the region.

In one of the biggest-ever haul of weapons in the country, the Andhra Pradesh Police on September 8 recovered 600 unloaded rockets, 275 unassembled rockets, 27 rocket launchers, 70 gelatine sticks and other explosive material belonging to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) from the Mahabubnagar and Prakasam districts. While 16 rocket launchers and 600 rocket shells packed in 53 gunny bags were seized at Jangireddypalli village in Mahabubnagar district, another 275 rocket launchers packed in 27 bags were recovered from an unclaimed consignment in Kranthi Transport company, a private cargo mover, in the Giddalur town of Prakasam district. The recovery also included two tonnes of spares to rig 16 rocket launchers, high-tensile springs used to propel explosives from shells, fins that could be attached to shells, 500 live .303 rounds, detonators, wire, an electronic weighing scale and two digital thermometers. New Indian Express reports that the ammunition was shipped from Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu, in May 2006 and it reached Vijayawada and Proddatur from where it was re-directed to Achampet and Giddalur. Two persons, one at Achampet in Mahabubnagar and another at Proddatur in the Kadapa district, were arrested. Director General of Police, Swaranjit Sen, informed that the police had arrested a Telugu Desam Party leader, Dandi Hanmanth Reddy, at Achampet bus stand on September 7-night and under interrogation, Reddy revealed details of the dump, which was to be handed over to Maoist ‘district secretary’ Sambasivudu. Sen also said the rocket launchers were of superior quality and "this is perhaps the single largest number of such shells recovered in the country." The Maoists apparently intended to use the weapons to attack police stations and vehicles carrying VIPs, he added.

On September 8, forty people were reportedly killed and 65 others sustained injuries in three bomb explosions at Malegaon town in the Nashik district of Maharashtra.

The area near the burial ground was crowded with people who had gathered to offer prayers on the occasion of Shab-e-Baraat (night of salvation). The second explosion took place near a mosque while the third occurred at Mushawarat Chowk. The explosives reportedly had been rigged to bicycles. According to The Hindu, many of those killed and injured were children. No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts thus far. Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh described the blasts as "a terrorist act" but said he did not know who was responsible.

The North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Governor Ali Mohammad Jan Aurakzai has ruled out withdrawal of the army from North Waziristan, and said troops will remain along the Afghan border to check infiltration, according to Dawn. “The peace agreement is by no means meant to pull back army from the area; the troops will remain there,” Aurakzai told the media on September 8. He rejected an impression that the Government had signed a deal with militants or the local Taliban. “We have not signed any agreement with the Taliban; this is a deal between the government and the Utmanzai tribe,” he said in reply to a question. He said that Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and others had been excluded from the amnesty offered to foreigners living in the tribal area. About the number of foreigners in the area, he informed that exact figures were not available but they might be in hundreds. Governor Aurakzai did not agree with a suggestion that the army had failed to curb militancy in North Waziristan and opted for dialogue after suffering heavy losses. “Operations were successful and the army had killed many terrorists in the area. But certainly, the military operations had caused collateral damage due to which militants had gained sympathies of the common tribesmen who lost their relatives and property,” he stated. He also disclosed that compensation was being paid to the affected people in South Waziristan and the government had sanctioned Rs230 million for the purpose.

Chairman of the CPN (Maoist) Prachanda on September 8 said his recent remarks that the insurgents would not be confined to cantonment unless an agreement was reached on a comprehensive political package were provoked by the Prime Minister's comments. During his live question-answer program in BBC Nepali Service, the Maoist chairman said he made such remarks after Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala said that Maoists will not be recognized as a political party till they give up arms. "After the responsible people in the government, including the prime minister, started making such irresponsible comments we smelt a rat in the government's intention," Prachanda said, adding that "we still stand by our agreements but we are not ready to lock up our arms first and start dialogue for political settlement."

Power supply to 15 of the 29 districts of Balochistan, including capital Quetta, was disrupted after four pylons supporting two transmission lines in Mach were blown up by the insurgents on September 10-night, according to Dawn. According to the Quetta Electric Supply Company (Qesco), saboteurs planted explosives round four pylons of 220kv Uch-Sibi-Quetta transmission line and 132kv Sibi-Mach-Quetta line and detonated it. The blast blew up the huge towers plunging more than half of Balochistan province into darkness. “The power supply to 28 out of 55 grid stations was affected and with blowing up of four towers Qesco is facing a shortage of 300MW electricity,” Qesco spokesman Jabrail Khan said. “Restoration of the two transmission lines will take at least two weeks to complete,” Khan said, adding that Qesco would suffer a daily loss of PKR 30 million until the supply was restored. The affected districts include Quetta, Kalat, Mastung, Khuzdar, Kharan, Nushki, Chagai, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, Zhob and Sherani.

Two bomb explosions occurred at two markets in the Bannu city of North West Frontier Province on September 11, damaging several video shops. “Several video shops, including a videogame shop, were damaged when two explosions targeted two different markets in the early hours of Monday,” District Police Officer Muhammad Iqbal Khan told Daily Times. He said he believed that pro-Taliban militants were behind the attacks, given that three months ago, shop owners of “un-Islamic” businesses, such as those selling music or videos, were told to shut down or else face the consequences. Deputy Nazim Fakhruddin Khan also believed that the blasts were the work of pro-Taliban elements.

Speaking at a program in Kathmandu, Mahat said, "I do not think the Nepali Army will back the King in seizing power in the future as the army has also learnt lessons from the recent Jana Andolan (People’s movement) II." Mahat noted that the army had also suffered a lot and faced humiliation on the international front after it supported the King's February 1 takeover. Commenting on the issue of Maoist arms management, Mahat said that there would not be free and fair elections to a constituent assembly under the Maoists' "shadow of arms".

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on September 12 (today) that Pakistan has not done enough to control terrorist outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), reports Press Trust of India. Speaking to media personnel accompanying him on the two-nation tour of Brazil and Cuba on board the special flight, Dr. Singh said that both the countries should move forward on the dialogue process. He, however, pointed out that terrorism acts as a ‘dampener’ and violence ‘vitiates’ the atmosphere. “Our position is quite clear. Terrorism today constitutes a threat for both countries. And, therefore, I believe that consistent with joint statements of January and September 2004 and April 2005, it is incumbent on us to work together in a manner that inspires confidence that both of us are very serious about tackling the menace of terrorism. That is the minimum that I feel should commit our two governments, our two systems to work to achieve”, he said. Speaking about his scheduled meeting with General Musharraf, the Prime Minister said, "I will share with General Musharraf our perceptions of what is the role of external elements in promoting terrorism in our country. We will have an exchange of views on all issues particularly the commitment of Pakistan not to allow its territory and that includes parts of Jammu and Kashmir which is in their occupation to mount terrorist attacks against India.”

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court in Mumbai on September 12 pronounced four of the eight members of the Memon family guilty in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. Justice P.D. Kode delivered the judgment convicting Yakub Memon, Yusuf Memon, Essa Memon and Rubeena Memon. The judge held the mother of the Memon brothers, Hanifa, and Raheen, Yakub Memon's wife, and one of the brothers, Suleiman Memon, not guilty. The verdict on the 123 accused will be pronounced in batches. According to The Hindu, all the four found guilty face charges under the TADA and various sections of the Indian Penal Code. They will be sentenced subsequently and could get jail terms from five years to life imprisonment. At least 257 people died and 713 were wounded in 13 bomb blasts across the city on March 12, 1993. The prime accused, Dawood Ibrahim, Anees Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and his wife and Ayub Memon and his wife are absconding. The Central Bureau of Investigation submitted in the charge sheet that the serial blasts were masterminded by Dawood Ibrahim, who is reportedly based in Pakistan at present, with the help of his associates Tiger Memon and Mohammed Dossa, allegedly at the instance of the Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan's external intelligence agency, to avenge the demolition of the Babri mosque in December 1992. While Dawood was already outside India when the blasts occurred, Memon and Dossa fled a day earlier. The Memons had allowed the use of their garages to load RDX into vehicles used for bombing 13 crucial points in Mumbai, The Hindu reported.

These immigrants claim to be residents of Asom,” stated Jyrwa, adding, “Meghalaya is now a safe haven for these illegal foreign nationals because there are no restrictions. They will have no takers if they fail to produce valid documents to prove their claims”. The KSU leader further said, “With 80 lakh Bangladeshi immigrants adding to Asom’s population, there is no reason why we should not co-ordinate amongst ourselves and act against these swamping outside force”. Jyrwa informed that at least 1,500 suspected immigrants were detected in Meghalaya in the second week of September.

President Pervez Musharraf has blamed the West for breeding terrorism in his country by bringing in thousands of Mujahideen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and then leaving Pakistan alone a decade later to face the armed warriors, according to Daily Times. Gen. Musharraf told the European Parliament’s foreign affairs committee in Brussels on September 12 that Pakistan was not the intolerant, extremist country often portrayed by the West, and terrorism and extremism were not inherent in Pakistani society. “Whatever extremism or terrorism is in Pakistan is a direct fallout of the 26 years of warfare and militancy around us. It gets back to 1979 when the West, the United States and Pakistan waged a war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan,” Musharraf told EU lawmakers. “We launched a jihad, brought in Mujahideen from all over the Muslim world, the US and the West… We armed the Taliban and sent them in; we did it together. In 1989 everyone left Pakistan with 30,000 armed Mujahideen who were there, and the Taliban who were there,” he said, adding that Pakistan had “paid a big price for being part of the coalition that fought the Soviet Union.” Musharraf claimed that the scourge of terrorism had been eliminated from Pakistan and that efforts were underway to root out extremism, but this would take time. He also reportedly warned the West that Taliban insurgents were a more dangerous terrorist force than Al Qaeda because of the broad support they had in Afghanistan, Reuters reported. “The centre of gravity of terrorism has shifted from Al Qaeda to the Taliban,” he told EU lawmakers, adding, “This is a new element, a more dangerous element, because it (the Taliban) has its roots in the people. Al Qaeda didn’t have roots in the people.”

The Maoist leadership alleged that the Government was ferrying arms and ammunition from India on September 12-night and in protest organised chakkajam (ban on vehicular transport) all over the country, including the capital. However, the cease-fire code of conduct monitoring national committee team, after an on-the-spot observation, said 33 vehicles brought to a company of the Nepal Army in Dhading’s Gajuri carried no weapons. Member of the monitoring committee, Tara Nath Dahal, said no arms were spotted in those vehicles and added some spent bullet shells were found in one old truck. Earlier, the Nepal Army had said that the transport vehicles which arrived in Gajuri barracks were meant for peacekeeping troops. Traffic was reportedly disrupted in Kapilvastu, Bardiya, Gaighat, Banke, Bara, Nawalparasi and Itahari districts following Maoist protests.

LTTE political wing leader S.P. Thamilselvan told Reuters in an e-mail interview that the outfit is ready for talks. He said, "The LTTE is ready for talks. However, the opportunities for resuming the talks will be much stronger when the Sri Lankan government ceases its military attacks and all the (truce) articles are fully respected and implemented. If the Sri Lankan armed forces continue with their cruel war all over the Tamil homeland, and continue to put the people in the Tamil homeland in great misery, I do believe that the spread of this war to all parts of the island will be unavoidable." He added, "I am afraid there is a possibility that this will turn into a full scale war.” He warned the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), "It is not possible for us to provide protection to an ICRC sponsored ship using these seas… The Ceasefire agreement (CFA), signed between the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE, does not have specific articles about demarcation lines in sea. Indeed, early problems with the ceasefire agreement were mainly about the sea access. This issue remains unresolved to this day. Under these circumstances it is not possible for us to provide protection to ICRC sponsored ship using these seas."

The Sri Lanka Government denied that it had agreed to unconditional peace talks with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and criticised the Norwegian peace facilitators for announcing a possible time frame for the talks. Government Defense spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said on September 12, "We will put forward our conditions. I cannot tell those offhand; they need to be discussed. We were always ready for talks but we were not consulted on the venue. There have been concerns over the venue in the past so we are yet decide on that”. He also said that no one has the right to make announcements on behalf of the Government of Sri Lanka, adding, "The government has not been consulted on any future discussions. Norway, or anybody, can't announce dates and venues. We will take it up very seriously, we are a sovereign state, they (Norway) are only facilitators. We have not delegated any of our powers to them. There are more matters to discuss before such arrangement.”

The LTTE political wing leader S. P. Thamilchelvan stated that it is the responsibility of the Norwegian facilitators and international community to ensure that the Sri Lankan Government adheres to the territorial demarcations, terms and conditions of the cease-fire agreement and thereby create a conducive atmosphere for talks. Speaking to Tamil Net on September 13, he said: “It is the Sri Lankan government which, launching major aggression against our controlled areas, has carried out breaches of the CFA of the utmost seriousness. It is therefore the primary responsibility of the [Mahinda] Rajapakse regime to create a conducive environment by respecting the lines of territorial demarcation underpinning the CFA so that the peace process can move forward.”

The Sri Lanka Government stated on September 13 that it remains fully committed to participating in peace talks with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), but said the specific modalities relating to dates and venue must be discussed and agreed on by the Government and the Norwegian peace facilitators. The Government Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process (SCOPP) said, “The Government is appreciative of the efforts made by the [Sri Lanka Donor] Co-Chair members to resume peace talks. The Government reaffirms the declaration of President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 22 August 2006, following a meeting with the Co-Chair Ambassadors in Sri Lanka that the Government remains ready to engage in talks with the LTTE following a clear commitment by the LTTE Leader to a comprehensive and verifiable cessation of hostilities.” It also raised concern regarding “the procedural irregularities of the statement in making commitments regarding dates and venue without prior consultation with the Government”, adding, “It is important to note that the peace process in Sri Lanka is conducted between a democratically elected Government of a sovereign State and an armed group practicing terrorism.” The SCOPP also said that it has been the experience in the past that the LTTE has always used peace talks as a period to enhance its military capabilities. “In this regard, the Government would urge the international community to put in place a practical mechanism to prevent the illegal procurement of arms and an effective blockade to the induction of weapons by the LTTE. This is an essential element to ensure a successful progression towards a political settlement,” it added.

The People's Liberation Front stated that a recent joint statement by Sri Lanka's donor co-chairs is a gross violation of Sri Lanka's internal affairs. “They critically intervene in our sovereignty. The statement of the co-chairs has placed Tamil Tiger terrorists on an equal par with the Government of Sri Lanka. The statement has expressed views that would influence the judiciary in Sri Lanka on matters that are relevant to de-merging the North and the East,” said parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa.

He said on September 14, “Some persons are making various irresponsible statements in foreign countries that peace negotiations are going to resume. They all should understand this is a sovereign state… We have learnt many lessons from the past. On each occasion the LTTE was weakened it took some rest to rebuild its power… If the LTTE has an honest intention to lay down its weapons and resume talks, the Government has no problem. However, the LTTE cannot be allowed again to go for an interval. There should be an end to this.”

According to Press Trust of India, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on September 15 sought the death penalty for three Memon brothers, Yakub, Essa and Yusuf, convicted in the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai. In his submission to judge P. D. Kode, CBI counsel C. S. Sharma said this was the rarest of rare cases as the explosions had shattered Mumbai's lifeline and killed 257 people in the span of a few hours. The court should consider the brutal force used by the brothers to cause the chain of blasts. The CBI counsel, however, asked the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act court to show leniency and grant life imprisonment for Rubina, the fourth convict.

On September 15, seven persons were arrested in Tamil Nadu in a case relating to the seizure of empty rocket shells and launchers in Andhra Pradesh, reports The Hindu. This included the agent of a lorry transport company that moved the arms consignment. However, two persons, Raghu, who booked the consignments in the name of Srinivas Reddy, and his wife Sudharani of Nellore, both belonging to a Naxalite group in Andhra Pradesh, evaded arrest, the report added. Police investigation revealed that the manufacture of components for assembling rockets and launchers had been going on for nearly three years. Nearly 700 to 1,000 components had been manufactured. Tamil Nadu Director-General of Police D. Mukherjee said parts of the rockets and launchers were manufactured at lathe workshops and foundries — Everest Engineering Company, Universal Casts and Bharath Fine Engineering, all located at Padi, Jai Tech Engineering Company and Shanthi Engineering Company, Korattur, and Arun Engineering Company and Dhanalakshmi Foundry, Mogappair. He gave the names of the arrested as Sivaji, Kumar, Ramesh, Arunachalam, Muthusamy, and Annamalai, all owners of the companies and Veerabadra Rao, agent of Kranti Transport, Mannurpet, which transported the consignments. Investigation revealed that Raghu came to Ambattur in 2002 and gained the confidence of the accused by giving them "small manufacturing orders." Thereafter, with their cooperation, he manufactured rocket components from 2003 till May 11 this year. Later, he sent them to Andhra Pradesh.

The United States (U.S.) indicated that the agreement the Government signed with pro-Taliban tribal chiefs in North Waziristan on September 5 has the ‘potential to work’, according to Dawn. In a speech at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher endorsed the deal as an effort to get tribal support to defeat terrorism. He declared that no country had done more than Pakistan in the war against terror. Noting that the Government had carved out a new strategy to deal with the cross-border activities of Taliban and Al Qaeda, Boucher said: “The agreement really has the potential to work.” The U.S., he said, understood that to effectively control the Afghan border, Pakistan needed “cooperation from local tribes and they are really trying to get in.”

People residing along the India-Bangladesh border passing through Tripura have reportedly complained that the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) had encroached upon their lands, and had committed atrocities on them, according to UNI. Reports said that villagers living on the banks of the Fenni River under Sabroom sub-division in the South Tripura district are the worst victims. A farmer, Ujjal Biswas, alleged that he has lost about 28 acres of land due to the change in course of the Fenni River some years back. "Earlier the Fenni used to flow far away for the present position. But, now the Bangladeshi authorities claim it as their land. We have lodged complains several times. Whenever any Indian authority comes to demarcate the boundary there is stiff opposition from the BDR. Sometimes they fire on us if we try to move to the disputed areas," said Biswas. Some boundary pillars were constructed by the Bangladesh Government to demarcate the boundary. However, the local villagers as well as the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel reportedly disputed the demarcation. "The actual boundary is far inside the Bangladeshi territory. They have claimed the land as the river has changed course," said a BSF officer. "The river was supposed to be the boundary between the two countries earlier. The char area which was formed due to the change in course by the Fenni is the point of dispute. Bangladesh government claims the land, which was created after the change in course of the Fenni river," added the BSF officer.

The Sri Lankan Navy and Air Force in a coordinated attack on September 17 sank a suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ship carrying weapons off the island's northeastern waters. Officials said the Navy spotted the unnamed vessel about 125-kilometres off Kalmunai in the Batticaloa district and ordered it to proceed to Trincomalee port for a search. An air force patrol craft was called in to bomb the ship when it ignored orders and opened fire on the navy. The Defence Ministry said in a statement, "When ordered by navy patrol craft to sail towards Trincomalee for checking, the suspected vessel opened fire. Tigers during the recent past were desperately trying to acquire weapons and ammunition from foreign countries, yet those moves were countered by law enforcing authorities in those countries and many Tiger inmates were arrested." Unconfirmed reports suggest that 12 to 15 LTTE cadres were on board the ship, when it sank.

AFP reported on September 18 that a Pakistani Government printing press in Quetta, capital of Balochistan province, is reportedly churning out large quantities of counterfeit Indian currency. The rupee notes are then smuggled into India as "part of Pakistan's agenda of destabilising the Indian economy through fake currency," according to Times of India. The notes are "supplied by the Pakistan government press free of cost to Dubai-based counterfeiters who, in turn, smuggle it into India using various means," the report said quoting a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) note to Indian security agencies and the finance ministry. It also mentioned how fake currency notes were concealed in music systems, crockery boxes and washing machines, and sent to India through 'carrier' air passengers who were paid Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 for carrying a consignment from Dubai and other Gulf countries. The CBI also reportedly mentions Bangkok as a major centre of fake Indian currency notes production — smuggled into India through Nepal and Bangladesh. The Reserve Bank of India has estimated the amount of fake currency in circulation at almost 1.7 trillion rupees (37.5 billion dollars), the report said.

A British Pakistani facing trial for allegedly plotting to blow up Houses of Parliament and other high-profile targets in Britain has reportedly refused to give further evidence claiming, that he fears for the safety of his family in Pakistan who have been contacted by that country's external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), after his testimony at Old Bailey last week, according to The Hindu. 24-year old Omar Khyam, who was to continue his testimony this week about his activities in Pakistan in 2000, told the court: "Before we go on to that topic, I just want to say the ISI in Pakistan has had words with my family relating to what I have been saying about them… I think they are worried I might reveal more about them, so right now, as much as I want to clarify matters, the priority for me has to be the safety of my family so I am going to stop... I am not going to discuss anything related to the ISI any more or the evidence." Khyam and six others, including his younger brother Shujah-Ud-Din Mahmood (18), were arrested in March 2004 for allegedly conspiring to cause explosions likely to endanger life. They were arrested after 600 kg of fertiliser, which police claimed was meant to make bombs, was found in a west London depot. They were accused of discussing of bombing public places including pubs and nightclubs. Last week, Khyam told the court that ISI was training militants and during his visit to Pakistan six years ago he trained in an ISI-supervised camp. "The ISI was setting up camps in what we called Free Kashmir, funding it with money and weapons and people that would train people, and logistical supplies, everything,'' he said. According to Khyam, the people who trained him in handling arms were "selected by the ISI.” "The ISI works with Islamic groups,'' he added.

President Pervez Musharraf told the UN General Assembly on September 19 that a resolution of the Kashmir issue is “within reach”, and expressed confidence that his meeting with the Indian prime minister in the Cuban capital Havana would help carry the peace process forward, according to Daily Times. “Pakistan wants a peaceful environment in the region,” and has been engaged in a peaceful process with India aimed at confidence building and resolving issues, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, the president said in his address to the 61st session of the General Assembly. Gen Musharraf said a stable security environment is important for peace in the region. Pakistan, he added, had proposed the creation of a strategic restraint regime in South Asia. “We do not want to enter into an arms race. But we will do whatever is necessary to preserve the credibility of our minimum defensive deterrence level.” Gen Musharraf also said that peace and stability in Afghanistan is in Pakistan’s interest, as it would allow the country to realise its ambition of linking Central Asia and South Asia through Afghanistan and Pakistan. “Afghanistan confronts complex security, political and economic challenges including a resurgent Taliban who also threaten Pakistan’s efforts against extremism and terrorism. The common challenge imposes a joint responsibility on Pakistan, Afghanistan and the coalition forces,” he added. The president said that problems along the regions bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan were compounded by the continuing presence of over three million Afghan refugees, “some of them sympathetic to the Taliban”. He opined that old and new conflicts had spawned a deep sense of desperation and injustice across the Muslim world. “Unless we end foreign occupation and suppression of Muslim peoples, terrorism and extremism will continue to find recruits among alienated Muslims in various parts of the world,” he stated.

In a statement to Current News Service, the HM said the message of the two leaders (President Musharraf and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh) carried “nothing new for people of Kashmir”. “The declaration uses old and traditional language and is meaningless for the people of Kashmir. Those who are clapping at the declaration are misleading the people,” the news agency quoted HM spokesperson Junaid-ul-Islam as saying. “The only declaration acceptable to the people of Kashmir is one which gives a timeframe for resolving the Kashmir issue,” he added.

India reiterated that only negotiations could resolve the conflict. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse in Havana reportedly emphasised the need for a negotiated settlement while firmly ruling out war as an option. He also underlined the necessity of considering the aspirations of the Tamil minority while convincing the Sinhalese majority to go for political concessions and argued that the island's Tamil-majority Northeastern Province should not be de-merged without a referendum and that such a referendum would only be possible when there was a 'conducive atmosphere'.

Two police personnel of the Bomb Disposal squad were killed and 29 others, including some senior police officers and journalists, were injured when a land mine planted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres exploded in the Lalgarh area of Paschim Medinipur (West Midnapore) district on September 21. In all, 19 police personnel, including the district's Additional Superintendent of Police and Deputy Superintendent of Police, were injured. Seven journalists reportedly received serious injuries. The explosion occurred when the bomb squad personnel were trying to open the tiffin-box that contained the mine, after supposedly defusing it. Banibrata Basu, Inspector-General (western range), admitted that it was “clearly a trap” laid by the Maoists. He added the bomb squad should have been more careful. “This is clearly a human error. This is not the proper way to defuse powerful explosives,” he said. The Maoist organisation had earlier called for a bandh (shutdown) in Paschim Medinipur and the adjoining districts of Purulia and Bankura during the day to mark the second anniversary of its foundation.

Pakistan on September 21 vowed to not let foreign forces enter its territory a day after US President George W. Bush said he would order American military action inside this country if Osama bin Laden was found to be hiding here, The News reported. Bush told CNN that he would authorise military action inside Pakistan if intelligence indicated that al-Qaeda chief bin Laden or other top terrorists were hiding there. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tasnim Aslam declined to respond directly to Bush’s remarks, but reiterated President Musharraf’s recent rejection of any foreign military forces entering Pakistan. “Any terrorist action to be taken inside Pakistani territory would be taken by Pakistan,” Aslam said, adding “He (Musharraf) has said that he would not allow any foreign troops to come inside our territory.”

The United States threatened to bomb Pakistan “back to the stone age” in 2001 unless it cooperated in the US-led war on terror, President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview released on September 21, according to Daily Times. Gen. Musharraf said the threat came from former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. He said the comments were delivered to his intelligence director, according to selected transcripts of the interview with CBS television’s “60 Minutes” investigative news programme due to be broadcast on September 24. “The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, ‘Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the stone age’,” Musharraf said. “I think it was a very rude remark… One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation, and that’s what I did,” Musharraf reportedly said in the interview. Armitage’s alleged threat also demanded that Pakistan turn over border posts and bases for the US military to use in the war in Afghanistan. Other “ludicrous” demands required Pakistan to suppress domestic expressions of support for militant attacks on US targets, according to the CBS. The White House on September 21 declined to comment on President Musharraf’s charge.

The report quoted an unnamed Islamabad-based militant leader as saying that the top brass of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had "conveyed to the Kashmiri militant leaders in January 2006 that they should not even think of crossing the Line of Control (LoC), armed or unarmed." It said the official funding traditionally made up the "bulk" of the financial inflows of these groups. Quoting "knowledgeable sources", the Herald said "until recently”, small groups like the Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Umar Mujahideen, Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen, Al-Fatah, Al-Jihad, Al-Barq, Tehrik-e-Jihad, and Islamic Front were receiving between 400,000 and 700,000 rupees a month. "Large organisations like HM, LeT, JeM, Al-Badr Mujahideen and others received more money, ranging between two to three million rupees," it said. "This was in addition to the funds that paid for the logistics, communication equipment, weapons, explosives, food and trekking kits for the thousands of militants, guides and porters who infiltrated," into Jammu and Kashmir.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on September 23 that infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir had diminished and his Government was sincerely pursuing dialogue with Pakistan and the people of the State, according to Daily Excelsior. "We see that levels of violence have come down during the past two years. Things have improved substantially since our coalition Government came to office. However, deliberate attempts are being made to portray the picture as otherwise," he said addressing a conclave of Congress party Chief Ministers in Nainital. Describing as "worrisome" the activities of externally sponsored terrorist groups, the Prime Minister warned of a spurt in suicide attacks targeting religious, economic and sensitive institutions in the country. He termed as disconcerting reports that suggest the existence of a number of terrorist modules and sleeper cells in some urban areas which provide the backup for foreign terrorist outfits. "The activities of externally-sponsored terrorist outfits is equally worrisome. Their involvement has grown… The concern is that there could be a further intensification involving greater use of Fidayeen [suicide squad] elements and targeting of a wider range of religions, economic and sensitive objects," Dr. Singh said.

According to Daily Times, a French newspaper quoted a French secret service report on September 23 as saying that Saudi Arabia was convinced that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden died of typhoid in Pakistan during August 2006. L’Est Republicain printed what it called a copy of the report dated September 21, and said it was shown to President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and the French interior and defence ministers on the same day. “According to a usually reliable source, the Saudi services are now convinced that Osama Bin Laden is dead,” the document said. “The information gathered by the Saudis indicates that the head of Al Qaeda was a victim while he was in Pakistan on August 23 of a very serious case of typhoid, which led to a partial paralysis of his internal organs,” it added. The report, which was stamped with a “confidential defence” label and the French secret service’s initials, said Saudi Arabia first heard the information on September 4, and it was waiting for more details before making an official announcement. Meanwhile, Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said, “The report on Osama’s death in Pakistan is totally baseless.” He said there was no possibility that the al Qaeda chief was treated for typhoid in Pakistan.

Kuensel has reported that the growing nexus between the people in the camps in eastern Nepal, Maoists and the Indian insurgents, who were dislodged from Bhutan in December 2003, were the two main issues that were discussed at the fourth Bhutan-India border management and security meeting held in capital Thimphu on September 23. “It is a confirmed fact that there is today a growing nexus between Maoists and the people in the camps in eastern Nepal … We also have information confirming radical elements from the camps in Nepal having received armed training from the Maoists,” said Bhutanese home secretary, Dasho Penden Wangchuk. The home secretary also reiterated that the Bhutanese government would not allow Bhutan to be used for carrying out activities that were detrimental to India’s security interests. The head of the Indian delegation, B.S Lalli, Secretary, Border Management of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, said that every step has been taken to ensure that elements hostile to Bhutan were not allowed to enter into the country. “The situation is generally very peaceful. There have been some efforts on the part of some few elements to stage some demonstrations but no organised effort have taken place,” said Lalli on the situation along the Indo-Bhutan border.

Meanwhile, a military spokesperson said, "The security forces are giving protection to the civilians in Mutur," adding, that officials were telling people not to leave, because security is provided by the security forces." Meanwhile, the LTTE denied any involvement in the distribution of leaflets warning residents to leave immediately.

According to Daily News and Analysis, narco-analysis tests on Tanvir Mohammad Ansari, Kamal Ansari, Faizal Shaikh, and Ehtesham Siddique, arrested in connection with the July 11 Mumbai train blasts, have revealed the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) plans in the State of Maharashtra. On September 24, sources in the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Maharashtra Police said that the RDX used in the July 11 bombings could actually be a part of the consignment, some of which was seized in Aurangabad and Nashik in May 2006. An unidentified ATS officer said “The tests have confirmed that a part of that RDX consignment was routed back to the city to trigger 11/7.” Police now are in look out for two LeT terrorists, Zabiuddin Ansari and Faiyaz Kagzi, suspected to be involved in the attack.

A full bench of the Supreme Court on September 25 upheld the death sentence of 12 people found guilty of involvement in two assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf in 2003, Daily Times reported. A military court had sentenced the 12 convicts to death. The Lahore High Court earlier rejected an appeal from the convicts, ruling that it did not have the jurisdiction to overturn the verdict of a military court. “For reasons to be recorded later, the impugned order of the Lahore High Court is maintained; consequently the appeals are dismissed,” said an order passed by the Supreme Court. The 12 convicts are Khalid Mehmood, Nawazish Ali, Niaz Muhammad and Adnan Rasheed (personnel of the Pakistan Air Force); Arshad Hussain (Pakistan Army); and Rashid Qureshi, Ikhlas Ahmad, Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti, Zubair Ahmad, Rana Naveed Ahmad, Aamir Suhail and Mushtaq Ahmad (civilians).

She also rejected reports that the agreement between the tribal and local authorities in Waziristan was at the behest of the fugitive Taliban chief Mullah Omar. “It is absolutely baseless,” she said and added that the deal particularly binds the tribal from traveling across the border into Afghanistan for acts of terror. About the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, she said, “We have no information about his coordinates, we have no information whether he is dead or alive.”

This is the most ridiculous statement,” he said, adding that Pakistan did not have financial resources to support the Taliban who, he said, were being financed by poppy growers. Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations after the formal launch of his book In The Line of Fire, Musharraf said Afghan President Hamid Karzai didn’t understand the environment in his country and said that the Taliban could not be defeated only by force. He criticised President Karzai for claiming that militants hiding in Pakistan’s tribal areas were behind the rise in violence in Afghanistan. “The sooner President Karzai understands his own country, the better,” Gen. Musharraf said, adding that the Afghan president was to be blamed for “disenfranchising” the Pushtoons, who make up a majority of the Afghan population.

According to Daily News & Analysis, Mumbai police have claimed to have identified the modus operandi used in the July 11 blasts targeting the railway network in the city. Unidentified sources in the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) said that the bombers had placed the bombs in pressure cookers fixed with timers, thus adding to the high intensity of the explosions. The cookers were hidden in leather bags, packed with old papers, to avoid identification. These bombs were put together in rented flats in Govandi on July 10. ATS sources said that among the 14 men who planted the bombs were Faizal Sheikh, Ehtesham Siddiqui, Kamal Ansari, and Tanveer Ansari, who are among the nine people arrested so far. Six men who provided logistical support for the operation have fled to Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The local Taliban have set up their office in Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan, for ‘curbing crimes and anti-social activities’ in the area, according to Dawn. Announcements were made and pamphlets distributed in the town on September 27, asking residents to co-operate with the Taliban in keeping peace in the area. The office has reportedly been set up on the premises of the main bus stand in Miranshah. The Taliban Shura has appointed a committee to run the office. “There is complete lawlessness in the area and crimes have increased. So after the peace accord Taliban have set up office to serve residents of the area and restore peace,” read one pamphlet, referring to the agreement signed between the Government and the Taliban on September 5. Another leaflet posted around Miranshah said clerics would be collecting funds to pay for a force aimed at protecting people from criminals. The Taliban have imposed ban on the movement of ‘masked men’ in the agency and asked people to inform them if anybody found moving about in the area with his face covered. The pamphlet said that if an incident of robbery, dacoity or any other criminal act occurred in the area, people should immediately contact the Taliban by phone or lodge a complaint at their office.

Police personnel on September 28 defused two `letter bombs' that were deposited in a mailbox of the Department of Posts in the Sreekariyam police station limits in the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram. According to The Hindu, officials of the Karyavattom University Campus post office alerted the police of the suspicious mails, addressed to the Principal of the Homeo College, Iranimuttom, and a private citizen living in Manacaud, after finding it ‘unusually thick and heavy’. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad at the City Police Commissioner's office later defused the `letter bombs.' The components of the bomb, a mix of potassium chlorate and aluminium powder, were similar to the ones that had exploded on the day of the President's visit earlier this month.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has launched a crackdown against Maoists in the insurgency-affected Bastar region of Chhattisgarh to recapture areas "liberated" by the Maoists, according to NDTV. The monsoon thrust, planned to surprise Maoists who usually lie low during the rainy season, reportedly commenced towards the end of August 2006 and is progressing without much bloodshed, top CRPF officials said. The strategy is to conduct surprise raids on the basis of intelligence reports and the CRPF has so far arrested over 100 Maoists and killed two, besides seizing huge quantities of arms and ammunition. Official figures show that there were 24 shootouts between CRPF personnel and the Maoists in August and September, with the para-military force losing only one soldier. Nine persons were injured during the operations. However, the "deep penetration operation" has slowed down at several places after Maoists destroyed Government primary health centres and schools -- potential shelters for the CRPF personnel. "They destroyed over 30 such structures this month alone and are distributing leaflets warning villagers against extending help to the security forces," a senior CRPF officer said.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on September 28 convicted Sarfaraz Phanse, an aide of the prime accused Tiger Memon, for facilitating the landing of explosives used in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. Judge P. D. Kode convicted Phanse for helping in the landing of arms and explosives at the Shekhadi coast in Raigad district. He, however, was acquitted of a conspiracy charge. Sarfaraz’s father Dawood Taklya has already been convicted by the TADA court for being the main accused in assisting in the landing of arms and ammunition on the Raigad coast. The court, however, acquitted five others, charged with going to Dubai en route to Pakistan for arms training, due to "weak" evidence against them. They have been identified as Mansoor Qureshi, Shaikh Kasam Babulal, Sultan-e-rome Ali Gul, Abdul Aziz Kader and Mohammed Iqbal Ibrahim. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had alleged that they could not go to Pakistan from Dubai as the conspirators did not make travel arrangements for them.

Commenting on the latest development on the peace front with reports of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) communicating their chief V. Prabhakaran’s desire to resume negotiations, the Government stated that there would not be any response from their side until the offer is made official. Cabinet spokesperson Anura Priyadharshana Yapa stated on September 28, "There is no concrete statement, it was just a verbal offer and there will not be any response until it is official." Attributing the delay in resuming peace talks to the outfit’s insincerity, he added that the outfit was still manoeuvring a war strategy that saps the Government's confidence. He reiterated, "There is no obstruction from the Government side."

He emphasised that the people in the East have to decide their own future, saying, “Neither the Executive nor the Legislature nor the Judiciary could decide the future of the easterner. It is also a myth if anyone believes that the future of the Easterners can be decided by a person like Prabhakaran. No one can deny the democratic rights of the people living in the East.” It was a crystal clear established fact that a referendum should be held in accordance with the India-Sri Lanka Pact, he added.

The Sri Lankan government stated that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) informed them that the outfit chief, V. Prabhakaran, has agreed to resume the stalled peace talks. Government Defence spokesperson, Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, stated on September 28, "We need concrete positive commitments from the leader of the LTTE to resume talks and he has given that. Brattskar returned with the LTTE response to our demand to give Prabhakaran's personal assurance on the LTTE's commitment to peace. We will shortly forward the response to the President and announce our stance." He also criticized the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) chief Lars Johan Solvberg for making comments beyond his mandate and said, “Maj Gen Solvberg has no right to speak on behalf of the international community.” He also condemned the SLMM for equating the Government, which was democratically elected by the people, with LTTE, which is branded as a terrorist group in the world. Commenting on the closure of the A-9 highway that connects the Jaffna peninsula with the rest of the island, he said it was the LTTE that forced the closure of the highway by attacking the troops in the Muhamalai area, the last entry point from South of cleared areas (area under Government control) to uncleared Wanni (area not under Government control). He also rejected the LTTE's demand for opening the A-9 highway, but proposed to open a land route through Mannar.

Balochistan continues to remain the hub of illegal detentions and mysterious disappearances of political activists and family members of political leaders, Daily Times has reported. According to unofficial estimates, around 3,000 political activists, relatives of political leaders and ordinary citizens of Balochistan are being detained by intelligence agencies. Relatives of those detained usually have no information on the whereabouts of their kith and kin and the Government has also not registered any cases against the detained suspects. Official sources said that scores of suspected terrorists, primarily Baloch supporters of the Balochistan Liberation Army, are in Government custody due to their alleged involvement in militant activity in the province. Some of these suspects have reportedly been missing for years. The extra-judicial arrests also include journalists and relatives of political leaders. “Such tactics are applied by the government to emotionally blackmail politicians and divert attention from their political struggle,” Kachkol Baloch, leader of the opposition in the Balochistan Assembly, told Daily Times.

The Mumbai Police has said that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had conceived the July 11, 2006 terrorist attacks targeting the railway network in Mumbai, according to The Hindu. Police Commissioner, A. N. Roy, told the media on September 30 that the attack was planned and executed through the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which in turn used the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and their own modules. He said that 15 people have already been arrested of whom 12 were directly involved in the blasts. The principal conspirator of the attack has been identified as a LeT top functionary, Azam Cheema, who also runs a terrorist training camp at Bahawalpur in Pakistan. Many of those arrested had received training in the use of arms at Bahawalpur on more than one occasion, Roy said. He further said that Cheema's three executive planners in India were Faizal Sheikh, a resident of Mira Road near Mumbai, Kamaluddin Ansari, who was arrested from his home in Madhubani district of Bihar, and Ehtesham Siddiqui, Maharashtra secretary of SIMI and a resident of Mira Road. The police chief said that 11 Pakistani militants in three groups had reached India via three different routes — from Nepal in the north, Bangladesh in the east and from across the Gujarat border with Pakistan. One Pakistani died in an encounter with the police at Antop Hill on August 22. Nine of the 11 escaped and might have left the country, the police said.

Sri Lanka Government stated that any future peace talks with the LTTE would hinge on its chief, Velupillai Prabhakaran, agreeing in writing or verbally to three major conditions. According to Defence spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella that include a specific time frame to resume and conclude talks, an assurance to the Donor Co-chairs that it will not use sea routes to smuggle in military hardware and a commitment not to resort to any violence during the period of talks. Rambukwella hinted that if the LTTE did not agree to these conditions, talks would be at stake and said, "If they (the LTTE) don't pay heed, we will have to fall back on the process we have already set in motion - the All-Party Conference, the All-Party Representative Committee and the Panel of Experts - to formulate a settlement to the ethnic issue.” Commenting on the outfit's offer of unconditional talks if the Government halted what it called its military offensive, Rambukwella said, "We have not resorted to any offensive action. The security forces are only defending themselves against the military actions of the LTTE," adding, a firm commitment must come from Prabhakaran and not from the outfit's political wing leader S.P. Thamilselvan or others. "He (Thamilselvan) and the others have made pledges before but have gone back on them," he pointed out.
