According to Assam Tribune, India has asked for the custody of militants, including the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘general secretary’ Anup Chetia, who have completed prison terms in Bangladesh. The handing over of the wanted militants to India figured at the ninth Home Secretary level talks between two countries in Dhaka on August 29-31. The Home Secretary, Mohammad Abdul Karim, led the Bangladeshi delegation while the Union Home Secretary, Madhukar Gupta, led the Indian delegation. India and Bangladesh have agreed to take action against militants, insurgent outfits and their leaders on the basis of real time and actionable information to be exchanged between the nodal points. The report adds that Anup Chetia has moved a court in Dhaka against his deportation to India after completing his jail term on September 1. The Director General of Border Security Force, Ashish Kumar Mitra, told reporters at Shillong in Meghalaya that Chetia was in a list of nine Indian insurgents to be deported. The militant leader has asked for "political asylum" in Bangladesh stating, he was "fighting for freedom" in Assam. Meanwhile, the Interpol has issued a red corner notice against Chetia.

Defence sources have indicated that more than 1,500 militants are waiting for an "opportunity" to sneak into India, Tribune reported. The militants have been divided into smaller groups and have been kept across the international border and the Line of Control (LoC). "Groups consist of 75 to 80 militants," a senior Army intelligence officer told The Tribune. He said, "There are launching pads, which are mobile and temporary. At one time, they try to send a maximum of 10 to 15 persons and their main aim is to avoid any contact with the security forces. The source said the group is further divided into smaller groups of three to five men and one group is assigned the task to engage the security forces so that the rest proceed for their "main mission." "The group after infiltration further gets divided into smaller groups and each group is assigned an independent mission," the source added.

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Interior, Rehman Malik, has said that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was a new face of al Qaeda, according to The News. "We have no doubt in our minds now that al Qaeda and the Tehrik-e-Taliban are one and the same thing. The nexus between the TTP and al Qaeda is there and their activities are continuing. We are left with no option except to strike against them in Bajaur. When we tried to establish one post they fired at and killed our people," Rehman Malik told representatives of foreign media at a special briefing arranged at the Interior Ministry in Islamabad on September 1-evening. He said the prime minister has given a three-pronged strategy to deal with the problem and dialogue and negotiations is one of them. However, he made it clear that the Government would enter into negotiations with only those who would abide by the law and not side with the lawbreakers. "To a great extent it is working," he claimed. He disclosed that Maulvi Namdar, the commander of a banned organisation, was killed while three groups, which were involved in militant activities in Bara, were banned. The TTP has also been banned, he told the foreign media. Malik said the Government has suspended operations against the militants and extremists but only for the holy month of Ramazan, mainly to facilitate the displaced people from these areas to go back to their homes. "But that does not mean that if somebody fires from that side we will not react. If there is one fire we will fire back nine times and we will make sure that it continues. If we noticed any training activity, any re-grouping, any firing at any police officer, Army personnel or a civilian, we will react," Malik warned. He said the Government has not signed any deal or entered into any agreement with these militants. "Not a single agreement is signed with anybody because we do not want to encourage these militants. There have been many requests, aired by these militants publicly (on electronic media) for ceasefire but we have not done it. We will continue (the operation) and ensure all possible steps to make Pakistan free of terrorism," he said.

Balochistan’s main militant groups - the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), Baloch Republican Army (BRA) and Baloch Liberation Front - have decided to suspend their activities for an indefinite period, Dawn reported. The decision was announced by Beebargh Baloch and Sirbaz Baloch, spokesmen for the BLA and BRA, while talking to journalists on satellite phones on September 1-night. "All the three militant organisations have jointly decided to suspend their resistance movement for an indefinite period," they said. They denied that the decision was the result of any deal. "We want to tell the Baloch people and the world that we can stop the movement any time and can restart it whenever we decide to do so," they claimed. The spokesmen said that during the suspension of the movement the three groups would review the overall situation in the province and if the military operation and construction of cantonments were not stopped they would respond with full force. They warned that anyone found involved in spying against the Baloch movement would be finished.

The army claimed on September 1 that it had routed Taliban militants in Bajaur, killing 560 Pakistani and foreign fighters and foiling a push to make Bajaur into a militant fortress. Major General Athar Abbas, the chief of ISPR, told a western news agency that 20 SF personnel had died and 30 were missing. "In our view, the back has been broken… Main leaders are on the run and the people of the area are now openly defying whatever the militants had achieved there," he said. He also said many foreigners were reportedly in Bajaur before the operation, but that many had probably fled to Afghanistan or other parts of the NWFP and that the operation had turned up no trace of al Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri.

Meanwhile, Nepal News quoted Gautam as saying the Government would take severe measures against the armed groups in Terai if they don't come to dialogue table. "The groups not interested in dialogue will be considered as criminal outfits," he added. The Home Minister said that he was committed to return lands and properties seized by the Maoists to the rightful owners. "This will happen as per the agreement between the government and the Maoists and among the parties over the period," Gautam pointed out.

According to Telegraph, the Union Government has received intelligence reports indicating that cadres of the ‘Bravo Company’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) are ready to return to Assam. They currently remain in camps in Myanmar. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the militants while trying to return to Assam face a transit problem since the transit route from Myanmar to India across Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh are controlled by the Naga outfits. The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) runs camps along the India-Myanmar border. "It essentially means they cannot come back without the help of the Khaplang faction of the NSCN," a source said.

Afghan intelligence claimed on September 3 it had arrested a Pakistan national who said he was paid by his country’s intelligence agency to help abduct a Japanese aid worker who was later shot dead, according to Dawn. 31-year old Kazuya Ito was abducted on August 26 in the eastern Nangarhar province, about 50km from the Pakistan border. His body was found a day later. The arrested man was named as Adil Shah and had been studying at a madrassa (seminary) in the NWFP, the National Directorate for Security said in a statement from Kabul. He said he was enlisted by the ISI and had been working with three Afghans. "Adil Shah has confessed during the investigation that the abduction and killing of the Japanese engineer was planned and implemented by Pakistan’s ISI and for that a large amount of money was given to the members of the group," the statement said. The Taliban had claimed responsibility for kidnapping Ito, who had been working in Afghanistan for five years.

At least 20 people, most of them women and children, were killed in an assault by US-led coalition forces on a village near the Afghan border on September 3, Dawn reported.

The security forces (SFs) claimed to have killed about 30 militants and wounded 35 others in a ground assault backed by gunship helicopters in the militants-infested Koza Bandai area of Swat Valley in the NWFP on September 3, The News reported. There were also reports about five civilian casualties, including four women, besides injuries to scores of others. Two SF personnel were reportedly killed and four others sustained injuries. SFs launched a ground assault in Koza Bandai, the native village of the Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan, at dawn on September 3 to clear the area of the militants. A Mingora-based military spokesman, Major Nasir Ali, told The News that 25 to 30 militants were killed and 30 to 35 were injured in the attack that was backed by gunship helicopters. He claimed that the militants had been flushed out of the area but "some pockets of resistance were still there," which, he added, "would be mopped up in the next stage of the operation". Giving details, Major Ali said militants had established themselves in the village and made the civilian population hostage. The area, he added, was a stronghold of the miscreants, which served as a launching pad for their terrorist activities in and around the suburbs of Mingora, the district headquarters of Swat. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said the SFs had destroyed 200 houses in the operation at Koza Bandai.

Unidentified gunmen fired shots at Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani’s motorcade in a high security zone on the Islamabad Highway on September 3, Daily Times reported. Rawalpindi City Police Officer Rao Muhammad Iqbal said the motorcade was on its way to the airport to pick the prime minister. "The [prime minister’s] car was going towards the airport when it was fired upon from a small hill… Two bullets hit the driver’s window." "The prime minister and his staff were not in the car," Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah said. A statement by the Prime Minister’s House said two of a number of sniper shots fired on the prime minister’s vehicle hit the window on the driver’s side. "However, because of the robust and comprehensive security measures, the prime minister and all the members of his motorcade remained unharmed," the statement said. Police said more than 20 suspects had been arrested and were being questioned. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Talking to Reuters, a TTP spokesman said Prime Minister Gilani was attacked because he was responsible for the ongoing offensives against militants in the northwest of Pakistan. "We will continue such attacks on Government officials and installations," said Muslim Khan, the Taliban spokesman in Swat.

Nanda Kishor Pun, deputy Commander of the Maoists’ People's Liberation Army (PLA), has warned that any obstruction in integration of the Nepali Army (NA) and the PLA into a national army as per the peace accord would invite conflict, reports Kantipuronline. Speaking at Reporters' Club on September 3, Pun said that unification of the two armies is essential to take the peace process to a logical end, warning, "those who are against integrating the PLA into NA are in favor of inviting conflict. There will be conflict if the two forces are not united." Pun, who is set to become chief of the Maoists' army after Prime Minister Prachanda quits the post, said that the integration process would begin within three months and the task would be completed within six months. Hinting at the Maoists intention to downsize the national army, he also claimed that a 50-thousand strong army would be enough for the country. Conveying that the Maoists have no plan to take action against the NA chief Rookmangud Katawal, he said, "We are not in favor of changing the Army Chief. I urged the NA Chief to correct the tradition of giving controversial political remarks."

Colombo Page reports that while acknowledging Sri Lankan Government's efforts to improve the freedom of movement of civilians affected by the fighting in the north, the United Nations (UN) officials in Sri Lanka on September 3 urged the LTTE to allow the civilians to leave the battle fields for safety. The UN Country Team in Sri Lanka said they have "raised with the LTTE its urgent concern that civilians be allowed maximum freedom of movement of all times." A recent UN Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) report estimates that 74,119 individuals (18,970 families) have been displaced since June due to the fighting in the north-west. UN officials said the displaced have moved into Kilinochchi district which is still under LTTE control. The IASC report stated that there were 134868 individuals (35,353 families) displaced in the district, and more than 160000 Internally Displaced Persons in the central-north area, the Wanni, controlled by the LTTE.

Times of India reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has expressed its support to the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). A statement issued by the outfit through its spokesperson Azad said, “We appeal to the people not to get diverted by the vicious calculated propaganda of the ruling classes against Muslim organizations like SIMI while allowing the hooligans of Sangh Parivar to roam freely murdering people belonging to religious minorities”. The statement asked for a ban on the “Hindu fanatical gangs” such as the “Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Hindu Munnani”. The outfit again claimed responsibility for the killing of VHP leader Lakshmananda Saraswati in the Kandhamal district of Orissa. It said, “On the 23rd of August, our People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) had carried out a daring attack on the ashram (hermitage) of the most notorious Hindu fascist leader of Orissa, Lakshmananda Saraswati, who called himself a swami but is actually a satan.”

A German man of Pakistani origin suspected of raising money and recruiting fighters for al Qaeda has been charged with membership in the terrorist group, federal prosecutors said in Berlin on September 4, Dawn reported. The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Aleem Nasir, was arrested in February 2008 at his home in the southwestern state of Rheinland-Palatinate and was charged on August 19. According to a statement from German prosecutors, Nasir traveled “regularly” to Pakistan and “by summer 2004 at the latest” he had agreed with al Qaeda leaders in the Pakistani-Afghan border region “to take part in al Qaeda activities.” His attorney, Manfred Gnjidic, said at the time of Nasir’s arrest that his client had not confessed to anything. But prosecutors said that between April 2005 and June 2007 he made at least four trips to Pakistan’s border region with Afghanistan, in one case handing over $21,732 to al Qaeda and on another at least 5,795.20 in cash. He is also alleged to have provided al Qaeda with additional equipment such as binoculars, night-vision goggles, laser range-finders, digital compasses and radios. “His duty is suspected to have been to acquire money and equipment in Germany for military use and recruit further members as well as fighters for the organisation,” prosecutors said in their statement.

The two houses lie at ‘zero point’ on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. A tribesman in Miranshah said the village crisscrossed the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. “Half of the village is in Pakistan and the other half is in Afghanistan,” said Aqleem Khan. The army, however, denied that the strike had been carried out in Pakistan’s territory. “There was no strike on our side of the border. The news is incorrect,” military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP.

Pakistan stopped supplies to the United States and NATO forces in Afghanistan through its western Torkham border on September 5, citing security concerns. A senior official said the measure followed increasing Taliban threats to trucks carrying the supplies. “All Afghanistan-bound supplies for the International Security Assistance Force have been stopped as the [Torkham] highway is vulnerable,” Khyber Agency Political Agent Tariq Hayat told Daily Times, dismissing the impression that the decision is a reaction to continued United States attacks in Waziristan. “This decision has nothing to do with the situation in Waziristan or the US attacks. This is purely a security issue and we want no untoward incident to take place as far as supplies for ISAF are concerned.” A senior border official at Torkham, 58 kilometers west of Peshawar, said the closure of the highway would also affect the US forces, which get fuel, food and other military supplies through Torkham crossing points. The coalition forces also get supplies through the Chaman border in Balochistan, but the bulk of the supplies goes through Torkham – a shorter route for Kabul where the US and NATO forces are based.

The death toll in the suicide bombing in provincial capital Peshawar on September 6 has increased to 39, The News reported. Investigators have revealed that the double cabin pickup used in the attack was the personal car of the top militant commander in Darra Adamkhel that broke through a police cordon in Matani minutes before the blast. “The 22-year-old suicide bomber had packed explosives in the off-white double cabin pickup owned by the Darra Adamkhel-based top militant commander. The bomber was on his way to hit some important target in Peshawar city or cantonment but failed to make his way after Sub-Inspector Aurangzeb intercepted the car,” a senior investigator said. Militants operating in Darra Adamkhel have already claimed the blast.

The Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse has said that the change in the strategy of the Sri Lankan Army along with accurate Intelligence inputs have led the island nation to advance into the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) stronghold in northern areas, reports Zee News. In an interview to a local Sinhala newspaper, Irida Divaina, Rajapakse said, "Lankan Army has successfully implemented the strategy of destroying the LTTE's resources rather than capturing their areas and has been advancing into the rebel held northern areas.” Asserting that progress into the LTTE-held areas have been made a "little" faster than originally planned, he said it was necessary to get a proper analysis before fighting the war "correctly". "We are moving forward in accordance with those plans. To fight the war correctly, it is necessary to get an analysis (of the situation confronting the forces and the battle plan) from the service commanders and the Sri Lankan president has done exactly that. It was only after that the commanders decided on when and how they would carry their campaign forward,” Rajapakse added.

The Sri Lanka military said that the combined air and artillery attack by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) over Vavuniya in the pre dawn hours of September 9 killed 21 combatants on both sides, reports Colombo Page. Preliminary reports said the abortive ground artillery attack on the Wanni security force’s (SF) Headquarters Complex in Vavuniya killed 10 Army soldiers and one Police constable. While seven airmen, nine Police constables and one civilian also sustained injuries as a result of exchange of heavy fire, the troops have so far recovered 10 bodies of militants, including five female cadres. Simultaneously, two LTTE aircrafts providing support to the artillery attack dropped two bombs which missed their intended target falling on the office area failing to cause much damage. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter jets which had taken off from Katunayake Air Base intercepted the two fleeing aircrafts and shot one down. "Three aircraft were seen on radar. One was over Vavuniya and dropped a bomb and went back. There was also an artillery attack into Vavuniya," said an unnamed military official. The Black Tiger (suicide wing of the LTTE) squad staged a similar combined air and ground attack in October 2007 on the Anuradhapura Air Base killing 14 soldiers and destroying four SLAF’s aircrafts. 20 militants were also killed in the incident.

At least 25 worshippers were killed and 50 others injured in a grenade-and-gun attack inside a mosque in the Maskanai area of lower Dir in NWFP on September 10, according to Daily Times. Reports said that unidentified militants lobbed hand grenades in the Sunni mosque in Banai village – less than three kilometres from the Afghan border – during Taravih prayers and fired at the worshippers. "The attackers first lobbed grenades into the mosque and then opened fire with Kalashnikovs on the worshippers," Bahadur Khan, the village nazim, told Reuters. Local official Mahmood Khan told AFP three grenades were thrown into the mosque and hit the last two rows of the congregation and said the security official said the attack did not appear to be sectarian. "It is a blatant act of terrorism," he added. No group or individual claimed responsibility for the attack, but Khan said last month a meeting of elders in the area had issued a strongly worded statement against the Taliban and had vowed to act against them entering the area.

The US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said the Pakistan military and government are focused on the instability in the border region and it is critical to continue to work with the new Pakistan government, Daily Times reported. "During this time of political turmoil in Pakistan, it is especially critical that we maintain a strong and positive relationship with the government, since any deterioration would be a setback for both Pakistan and Afghanistan," Gates told the House Armed Services Committee. Gates said that the insecurity and violence would persist in Afghanistan until the insurgency was deprived of havens in Pakistan, but suggested that the US wanted to avoid confrontation with Islamabad. Citing Washington’s plans for massive economic assistance to Pakistan he said that it would bolster the confidence of the new government in the US having a long-term commitment to the South Asian country. He also said that the US had a multi-year package for economic development in Pakistan.

About 100 heavily armed terrorists occupied a municipal building in the Regi Lalma area on the outskirts of Peshawar in the NWFP late on September 13, but fled on the arrival of paramilitary troops without putting up a fight, reports Daily Times. "We have vacated the building and freed the hostages but the militants have managed to escape," Peshawar police chief Sulaiman Shah said. Frontier Constabulary and Frontier Corps troops were sent to the area after media reports that a cook and several watchmen had been taken hostage.

NWFP police chief, Malik Naveed, denied reports of hostage taking and a gun battle. He told Dawn News the terrorists had fled to the Shahkash area of the Khyber Agency and that a search operation involving security forces and the political administration had begun.

According Assam Tribune, Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) handed over 18 militants of the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) to the Border Security Force (BSF) at Khowai Immigration Centre in West Tripura district on September 14. This is first time that BDR handed over Indian militants to BSF authority even as there is no extradition treaty between the two neighbouring countries. All the militants were reportedly detained by the BDR from Satcherri hideout in Bangladesh in October 2004 with arms. Later, they were produced before a Bangladeshi court. During trial, the court held all the 18 militants guilty under the Arms Act and awarded them three years rigorous imprisonment. About two months back, they were released from jail. In the meantime, the External Affairs Ministry (MEA) put pressure on Bangladesh Government to hand over all the released militants to the Indian authority.

US military strikes at Taliban and al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan are risky but necessary and were long overdue, says a Washington Post editorial published on September 14, Dawn reports. "They must continue." The newspaper claimed that for more than six years, the Bush administration relied on Pakistan to combat the militants but it only strengthened the Taliban and al Qaeda networks in FATA. The policy, the Post said, also led to a steady increase in Taliban assaults on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan while US intelligence community believed that al Qaeda was using its bases to prepare for new attacks on Western targets, including the US. "By now it is clear that Pakistani army and security forces lack the capacity to defeat the extremists — and may even support some of the Taliban commanders," the paper claimed, adding, "Pakistan’s army has arranged truces with some of the extremists that don’t preclude them from fighting in Afghanistan."

Police spokesman, Ranjith Gunasekara, has said the government has no intention of sending back civilians, who have entered Colombo to escape from the north and east conflict, nation.lk reports. He pointed out that most of the time the majority of the civilians in the Northern and Eastern Provinces preferred to move into safer areas within the district, rather than moving to Colombo due to various reasons, adding, "So we would not have to deal with a vast crowd. However, we have already established several police stations in the concerned areas and we would be conducting numerous social services for the benefit of those people." However, Defense Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapakse, commenting on the substantial influx of people from the eastern areas, has declared that anyone remaining in Colombo without a proper reason should head back to the north and east, since it will create a threat to the security situation. Within the month of August alone, about 6950 people have arrived in the Colombo Police Division. These people have found accommodation in lodges, houses and various other places.

The Supreme Court on September 15 affirmed a tribunal order upholding the ban on the Muslim outfit, Deendar Anjuman, for its subversive and anti-national activities, reports The Hindu. Dismissing a special leave petition filed by the outfit, Justice Arijit Pasayat, who, along with Justice Mukundakam Sharma was on a Bench, said, "Your professed activities may be something, but your general activities are different." The judge pointed out that the Special Tribunal, set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, gave findings that the organisation was actively involved in anti-national and anti-religious activities in Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. The tribunal, headed by Justice Mukul Mudgal of the Delhi High Court, had on February 27 upheld the Centre’s fourth notification extending the ban on the outfit, accused of attacking churches to foment Hindu-Christian animosity. It was first banned in 2001 for two years and thereafter after every two years and the last notification was issued in August 2007. The organisation contended that there was no fresh evidence to show that it was still involved in anti-national activities.

An Anjuman Ittehad-e-Marri spokesman told Daily Times that the raid had been carried out by the Pakistan Army rather than the Frontier Corps, the Anti-Terrorist Force or the local police. "Such raids are meant to defame the Baloch National Movement and paint it as a terrorist movement. The government functionaries themselves brought the explosives and showed to the world that they had been recovered from the possession of the Baloch tribesmen who do not even have access to clean drinking water and basic amenities of life," said the spokesman. "A contingent of 60 trucks and official vehicles came and began a door-to-door search operation," said an eyewitness. Also, according to a Marri tribesman, the forces had arrested 25 people, including eight girls. Eight of them had been injured, he added.

Daily Times reports that law enforcement agencies claimed late on September 15 to have detained three suspected terrorists and recovered 1,000 kilogrammes of explosives in a raid on a Baloch settlement in the outskirts of Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan. According to government sources, a joint raid was conducted in the New Kahan locality of Quetta, which is populated by the Marri Baloch tribesmen. During the raid, three suspected terrorists allegedly opened fire on the forces, which continued for an hour. The law enforcement agencies managed to overpower the three terrorists and took them into custody. The officials said they had also seized around 1,000 kg of explosives from a vehicle parked in the area. New Kahan is a settlement of the Marri tribesmen who had gone along with their tribal chief Nawab Khair Baksh Marri to Afghanistan in the 1980s. On their return from Afghanistan, they were provided shelter in New Kahan where they live amid scant civic amenities.

Swat-based Taliban on September 15 freed 25 security force (SF) personnel of the 38 they had earlier abducted as a ‘gesture of goodwill’. The release followed a Taliban executive council meeting chaired by rebel cleric Mullah Fazlullah at an undisclosed location in Swat, sources privy to the meeting told Daily Times. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan told Daily Times by telephone the remaining 12 would be freed "in two or three days" after another meeting. "We have freed them in respect of the holy month of Ramazan, therefore, we did not [make any demands]," said the spokesman. He said the men had assured the Taliban they would not return to their jobs as soldiers after being released. As reported earlier, Taliban had captured 38 SF personnel during a siege of a post in the Dewlay area of Kabal Tehsil (administrative unit) on July 30.

Two United States (US) military helicopters turned back to Afghanistan from the border early on September 15 after shots were fired from the ground, but there were conflicting accounts of the incident, according to Daily Times. Security officials and tribal elders said the threat of an incursion led Pakistani troops and tribesmen to fire. An unnamed senior administration official in Wana told Daily Times the US forces took off from the Macha Dad Kot base in Afghanistan’s Paktika province. "The US choppers came into Pakistan by just 100 to 150 meters at Angoor Adda. Even then our troops did not spare them, opened fire on them and they turned away," an unnamed security official told Reuters. Another security official told AFP that tribesmen joined in the firing after Pakistani soldiers played bugles to alert them. But Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman, Major General Athar Abbas, denying there had been any such incident, said, "These reports are not correct. We have checked, there is an FC (Frontier Corps) post in the area. No helicopter came inside our side of the border, nor did our troops fire at any." Also, the US-led coalition, based in Bagram, said they were not aware of the incident, and added, "Our helicopters do fly close to the border conducting routine missions, but none have attempted to cross into Pakistan. We have no reports of such events." Further, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters, "I’ve checked into that and find it to be a spurious report. I’ve checked all the places that would know about something like that and it doesn’t appear to be accurate." Meanwhile, the Ahmedzai Wazir tribes have summoned a grand Jirga (council) to devise a strategy against possible US incursions, a tribal elder told Daily Times. Foreign attacks on Pakistan’s Tribal Areas are an incursion and all-out efforts would be made to stop such invasions, said Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar. The minister said that Pakistan would take every possible measure to defend its territory. Also, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said that Pakistan is trying to solve the issue of American attacks inside its Tribal Areas diplomatically

The government is seeking the assistance of the people to prevent terrorist activities in the southern part of the country. Speaking at a special press conference in Colombo, Media Minister Laxman Yapa Abeywardana, said LTTE cadres try to move in the south while government troops are marching towards Kilinochchi. "With the public assistance, government could prevent the LTTE attacks in South," the Minister said. Sri Lanka has said that adopting a legislation by the United States would enable it to prosecute foreign military leaders who recruit child soldiers. It would be a direct blow to the LTTE, which had been recruiting child soldiers despite the pleas from humanitarian agencies, the Government said. The Child Soldiers Accountability Act was unanimously passed in the House of Representatives on September 8 and was adopted by the Senate on September 15.

On September 16, four persons were injured when a suspected parcel bomb exploded inside a Colombo Transport Bus at Horton Place roundabout in Colombo, reports Daily News. "The bomb exploded at 1.50 p.m. a few minutes after the last passenger was evacuated from the bus (NA-3656) and the Police were waiting for the bomb disposal unit," driver Thilakasiri said. The bus, plying from Mattakkuliya to Moratuwa and carrying around 60 passengers, was extensively damaged. "This is definitely a desperate attempt by the LTTE to explode a bomb inside a bus to and to inflict casualties to the civilians so that they can show to the world that Colombo is not safe. But we should commend the timely action of the passengers, the conductor and the driver of the bus for their vigilance about unattended parcels at this decisive period," Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News.

President Mahinda Rajapakse on September 15 said troops were on track to capture the outfit’s political capital in Kilinochchi by the end of the year, according to Daily Times. He said that forces were advancing "very satisfactorily" and should take Kilinochchi by December, adding, "I am happy. The military has made a lot of gains. We will hopefully take Kilinochchi by December. The rest [of the north] as soon as possible. I can’t give an exact time frame." Ruling out a future cease-fire with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) he vowed to "finish the war as soon as possible". "There is no point talking to them. They have not asked for a ceasefire from us. They must first surrender with their weapons," he asserted. "I don’t think the LTTE was serious about it (ceasefire)... they only talk of one (ceasefire) when the army is pushing to weaken them," said President Rajapakse. The President further said that his Government will seriously consider any request from India to hand over the LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran when he is captured. Rajapakse said, "You should realise Prabhakaran was involved in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the Sri Lankan Government will consider any request for his extradition if he is caught." "The law of the land will take its own course if and when he is nabbed", he added. The Government has reportedly put its health authorities on alert in order to face any possible chemical attack by the LTTE during the fighting in the North, informed sources said, according to Colombo Page. A local media reported that Health Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva had instructed officials to immediately dispatch extra health staff, medicines and equipment to the North to face any contingencies that may arise in the event of a chemical attack on the military.

On September 17, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pointing at the role played by the Pakistan-based terrorist groups in the recent serial bomb blasts in the country said that the involvement of local elements added a new dimension to the terrorist threat, reports The Hindu. The Prime Minister, addressing the Governors’ Conference on Inter Security in New Delhi said, "We have reports that certain Pakistan-based terrorists outfits are constantly seeking to set up new terrorist modules within our country. This is a matter of the utmost concern. We have increased vigilance on our borders … But in view of the growing involvement of local elements, this is not enough." Favouring further strengthening of anti-terror laws, Prime Minister noted that security and intelligence agencies had been successful in thwarting and pre-empting several terrorist attacks. "But as the recent blasts in Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Surat and Delhi indicate, there are still vast gaps in intelligence. These need to be overcome", he added.

A United States missile strike on a compound used by militants in South Waziristan in FATA killed at least six people and wounded three others on September 17-evening, officials said, according to Daily Times. Two intelligence officials told Associated Press that missiles hit the compound used by Taliban and militant organisation Hizb-e-Islami. Also, a security official told AFP that dead included some foreigners whose nationalities were not immediately known. Another senior official told Reuters that the strike was the result of US and Pakistani intelligence sharing, adding a container of arms and ammunition was also destroyed. "It shows improving intelligence co-ordination on the ground," said the official. "Two missiles directly hit the compound while the other two fell in the surrounding area. There are a few militant training camps in the area and no civilian population around the site of the strike," AFP quoted another official as saying. He said the Baghar Cheena area, where the strike took place, was the stronghold of local Taliban commander Maulvi Nazeer. But it was not immediately clear whether he was in the area at the time of the strike. The attack came hours after US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen told Pakistani leaders that America respects Pakistan’s sovereignty, amid a mounting tension over cross-border strikes by the US.

Three out of seven people killed in September 17 US drone attack on the Baghar village of South Waziristan Agency included two Arabs, one of them a senior al-Qaeda commander, and one hailing from the Punjab Province. Sources close to the tribal militants told The News that the two Arabs were identified as Jiran, the al-Qaeda commander, and Sabri while the name of the militant commander from the Punjab could not be ascertained. An unnamed senior militant commander, said all the three men were sitting in a vehicle parked in front of a mud-built house in Baghar village near Angoor Adda when two US drones fired four Hellfire missiles, killing them and four others staying in the house. He said Jiran was appointed as al-Qaeda’s operational commander for a particular region in Afghanistan following the death of senior al-Qaeda commander Abu Imam while fighting the US forces near Bagram in Afghanistan three months ago. "Jiran was a senior operational commander and was mostly living in the border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He used to change his locations due to continuous surveillance by the US spy planes on the border villages," said the tribal militant commander.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have used CS gas to attack Sri Lankan soldiers recently in the battlefronts of Wanni region, the Media Center for National Security (MCNS) said on September 17, reports Colombo Page. However, the Army is fully equipped and well geared up to face any unacceptable ‘chemical or gas attacks of the enemy,’ MCNS added. "A few soldiers in the Wanni during their encounters with the enemy in the most recent past developed breathing difficulties following emission of a gas, believed to have been directed by the Tigers towards the advancing troops," the MCNS pointed out. CS gas is used as a riot control agent and although non-lethal, exposure to CS gas produces severe burning and pain and breathing difficulties.

On September 18, Information and Broadcasting Minister and Cabinet spokesperson Priyaranjan Dasmunsi ruled out any move to bring back the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) or introduce any additional law to combat terror, reports The Hindu. "No, No, No. It is a draconian law and against human rights. If the present laws such as the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act are implemented properly, there is no need for additional laws," he said. Briefing reporters on the deliberations of the special Cabinet meeting on September 17 night that discussed the security situation in the country in wake of the recent terror attacks, including the Saturday serial blasts in Delhi, he further said that some of the anti-terrorism laws in India are "much stronger than those in the U.S. and U.K". The Minister also announced a series of measures to strengthen the intelligence machinery, including the creation of a research and technology wing in the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to analyse the new modus operandi of terrorists and steps to install gadgets such as closed circuit televisions and metal detectors in market places. Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta said the Cabinet sanctioned an additional 6,000 posts for the IB and 7,612 more posts for the Delhi Police. The Cabinet also approved a proposal to strengthen the Special Branches in States and earmark funds for them to acquire and put in place scanners and other security-related equipment. It approved a sub-scheme for policing in the metros for which the Union Government would provide assistance in intelligence monitoring and surveillance.

In an interview with a foreign news agency, he said, "We don't want to end up in a situation like in Iraq when you're moving fast, but you left behind a whole army who will resort to guerrilla tactics. Just now they are fighting face-to-face, because we are fighting the Kilinochchi defense line, so the killing rate is very high. So I don't know how long they can afford to resist like this." He also said, "There are over 3000 cadres, and I don't think they will fight to the last man. When it comes down to a certain level, they will try to go and mingle with the people or resort to other tactics like they are trying in the east."

On September 19, the Supreme Court asked the Chhattisgarh government to implement some of the recommendations of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which went into the activities of the Salwa Judum (anti-maoist vigilante movement) set up by the State to tackle left-wing extremism, reports The Hindu. The NHRC had been asked by the Supreme Court to probe the allegations that the Salwa Judum was committing atrocities on innocent people. A Bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices P. Sathasivam and J.M. Panchal told senior counsel K.K. Venugopal, appearing for Chhattisgarh, that the commission “has done a meticulous work. It has given a series of recommendations. It is very painful to read the report. It says there is arson and looting, people are armed and they [Salwa Judum] are committing serious offences. It says people who are subjected to serious problems are still afraid of coming out.” The Chief Justice observed, “When somebody [Salwa judum] is given arms, he claims to be a pseudo police. Once he is given arms, he will commit an offence though he has no right to do any such act. Some remedial measures have been suggested in the report and the State may consider implementing them. Whatever is urgently required to be done, do it.” Mr. Venugopal assured the court that the government would implement the recommendations “which are of immediate concern.”

A bomb exploded at a madrassa (seminary) run by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam in Quetta, provincial capital of Balochistan, on September 19, killing five people and injuring 10 more, Daily Times reports. Television footage showed a gaping whole in the external wall around the seminary and one partly demolished adjacent room. “The madrassa people say that someone threw explosives into the madrassa, but we are investigating,” police official Wazir Khan Nasir told Reuters. But police officer Raja Ishtiaq told Associated Process the blast occurred inside the room and that police were investigating how the bomb got there. The walls had fallen outwards, another police official said, suggesting there could be some explosives inside the room. “We are looking into all possibilities including whether they were preparing some explosives.” An eye witness who identified himself as Shahbaz Ahmad said students had been scuffling with a man who tried to push past them after they asked him why he wanted to enter the compound, adding, “When they barred his way, he blew himself up.”

Two Chinese engineers abducted by the Taliban appealed for their safe release on September 22, according to Daily Times. In a newly released video by the AfPax Insider news service, the two apparently distraught Chinese engineers appealed to the governments of China and Pakistan to help save their lives. Wearing traditional shalwar qameez and sitting in chairs with their backs towards a whitewashed mud wall, the sobbing men made repeated calls for help. The two-minute video had been recorded inside a room and no other person was visible except the two Chinese. Muffled voices of a girl and a woman could also be heard in the background, denoting that the two hostages were being kept in a house somewhere. The two Chinese had no visible injuries. As reported earlier, the two Chinese telecommunication engineers were abducted on August 29 from the Khaal area of Dir district where they were repairing a telecommunication tower. Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan had claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and said the Taliban would continue targeting government installations and kidnapping people unless the government halted military operations in Swat.

Military spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara said that the LTTE is a terrorist outfit which has a long history of looting from civilians and aid agencies and make use of the ill gotten resources to strengthen its cadres and terror activities against security forces. Whenever we send things including food, fuel and medical items for the civilians in the uncleared areas, the Tiger cadres grab and use them to sustain their movement. There were many instances where the LTTE used food, shelter and other items provided by the aid agencies to civilians for their purpose,” he added. Informing that the UN office had lodged a complaint that its premises had been looted by suspected LTTE cadres, he said, “There is no doubt about the LTTE looting the UN office in the uncleared areas. We are certain that it is only the LTTE who are in a position to loot the UN office and steal its property.” “The LTTE are facing a severe shortage of fuel and other logistical needs in the wake of battle field losses in the Wanni.

Addressing the 63rd session of the United Nation General Assembly in New York on September 24 the President Mahinda Rajapakse asserted that Government will only be ready to talk to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) when it is ready to commit itself to decommissioning its illicit weapons and dismantling of its military capability, and return to the democratic fold, according to Daily News. "The Government has also made it clear that the elected Government cannot and will not permit undermining of the territorial integrity of the sovereign UN Member State of Sri Lanka and the division of its territory. We are clear in this message," President Rajapakse said. Our Government has always been ready to address the causes of these issues and effectively implement political and constitutional solutions to meet the aspirations and rights of all communities, the President added, saying, "The complex situation in Sri Lanka needs to be addressed and resolved through an appropriate process of deterrent law and order action and patient political efforts of consensus building. We have achieved the difficult but essential task of building democracy in the Eastern Province and are confident that it can be done in the North as well. What the Government would not, and could not do is to let an illegal and armed terrorist group, the LTTE, to hold a fraction of our population, a part of the Tamil community, hostage to such terror in the northern part of Sri Lanka and deny those people their democratic rights of dissent and free elections. Through our past actions, we have proved it." Significantly, the restoration of democracy in the East of Sri Lanka was achieved in less than one year of it being freed from the clutches of terror, the President noted. "

Pakistani troops fired on United States helicopters which had crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan on September 25. "Today (Thursday) at 3:30pm, two helicopters from Afghanistan side crossed into Pakistan territory in the area of Saidgai in the Ghulam Khan sector of North Waziristan Agency," a spokesman of the ISPR told Daily Times. He said when the helicopters passed over Pakistani border post and were well within Pakistani territory the troops fired warning shots, adding, "On this, the helicopters returned fire and flew back." There were no casualties nor were the helicopters damaged, the NATO said. The Pentagon, however, denied the helicopters had crossed the border. A US military spokeswoman said two OH-58 helicopters had been flying a routine operation and were about 11.5 km on the Afghan side of the border in Khost province when they were fired upon, adding, "They received small arms fire from a Pakistani military checkpoint. The helicopters didn’t cross into Pakistani airspace." Neither the helicopters nor ground forces returned fire, she said. But an unnamed American official told AP that US and Pakistani troops traded gunfire during a five-minute skirmish after the incident. The official says American forces "responded with small-arms fire directed at the outpost, and that the Pakistani forces returned fire against the ground units".

The situation in Bajaur Agency will be stabilised within two months, the Frontier Corps (FC) chief in the region said on September 26, according to Daily Times. "My timeframe for Bajaur is anything from between one-and-a-half to two months to bring about stability," FC Inspector General Maj Gen Tariq Khan told reporters. He informed that the troops had killed more than 1,000 Taliban and injured 2,000 others since the offensive began in early August and that five top al Qaeda and Taliban commanders were among those killed in the month-long operation. He said they included four foreigners. They were Egyptian Abu Saeed Al-Masri, Arab Abu Suleiman, Uzbek Mullah Mansoor, and an Afghan commander called Manaras. The fifth was a son of Faqir Mohammad, the top Taliban commander in the region. Faqir himself was believed to be injured. Some 63 troops had died and 212 were injured in the operation so far, Khan further said. Khan estimated 65 percent of the Taliban problem would be eliminated if they were defeated in Bajaur, describing the region as a ‘centre of gravity’ for the Taliban. "If they lose here, they’ve lost almost everything," he said. Khan also showed reporters photos of tunnel systems and trenches, suggesting the Taliban were well established in the region that is considered a likely hiding place for top al Qaeda leaders including Osama Bin Laden. He put the Taliban’s strength at around 2,000, including Afghans, Uzbeks and Arabs as well as Pakistani Taliban. He said the Taliban’s fighting strength had not gone down appreciably despite heavy casualties due to reinforcements coming in from the northwest as well as Afghanistan. "I personally feel that trained squads have been moved in," Khan said.
