The Ambassador to the United States (US) Hussain Haqqani on September 1 warned that terrorist will exploit the aftermath of devastating floods unless the international community moves quickly to help Pakistan, reports Daily Times. “The rest of the world has to move fast and make sure that the floods do not result in a situation that can be exploited by extremists and terrorist,” said Haqqani, adding “the international community had been slow to recognise the scale of the devastation, attributing the tepid global response to the relatively low death toll. International leaders must recognise that the flood was a “major disaster” that affected over 20 millions people in Pakistan.” He said the flood strained Pakistan’s capacity to deal with terrorists. “The Government is trying to clamp down on militant outfits, that had an initial advantage because they were physically present in the areas affected by the floods,” the ambassador said. “The fact of the matter is that the story in the floods of Pakistan is the human suffering. Political consequences, if any, are just a secondary story,” said Haqqani.

The Lamyanba Khuman group belonging to Military Council faction of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) accused some individuals of extorting INR 100, 000 from the Manipur Tribal Development Corporation in the name of outfit, even as the same party has been imposing ‘restrictions’ on the Corporation, according to Sangai Express. The outfit’s ‘publicity officer’ Washington Meitei said WarengbamIbomcha of Kangla Sagolmang and his wife Sana Devi together with one Rajen of Khagempalli extorted the money from the Corporation. Even as the three accused were informed repeatedly to talk with the outfit on the matter, they have never responded but rather made derisive remarks against the group through telephone, said Washington. Those individuals earning or attempting to earn money by way of extortion from the public and departments in the name of the party would never be let off without taking up due actions, he mentioned. Further accusing Ibomcha and Sana of collecting money from some people by promising them jobs, the outfit asked all the accused to contact it.

The United States (US) Department of Treasury slapped sanctions on the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on September 2, according to The Hindu. In addition to “designating” the militant outfit, following which the Treasury may freeze any assets of the organisation and effectively ban all US entities from trading with it, the Treasury has also applied sanctions on Hakimullah Mehsud, the TTP commander, and Wali Ur Rehman, another TTP leader. The sanctions are a part of the U.S.' multi pronged approach to disrupt and dismantle TTP in Pakistan and provide the Department of Justice with a “critical tool” to prosecute those who provide it with material support. In addition, the Department of Justice announced a USD 5-million reward for any information leading to the arrest of Mehsud or Rehman.

The United States (US) on September 1 added the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to its international terrorism blacklist, targeting the outfit and its leaders with financial and travel sanctions, reports Dawn. “The group threatens US National Security,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a notice published in the Federal Register. She designated the outfit a “foreign terrorist organisation” under US law. In addition, Clinton named the outfit and its top leaders, Hakimullah Mehsud and Waliur Rehman, “specially designated global terrorists”, a classification that imposes additional state and treasury department sanctions. “Each has committed, or poses a significant risk of committing acts of terrorism that threaten the security of US nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States,” she said in the notice. The move will freeze the outfit’s assets in US, makes it illegal for Americans to fund or support them and bars them from entering the US. Meanwhile, the US prosecutors have also charged Hakimullah for the plot that killed seven Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employees at an American base in Afghanistan in December 2009, said the USJustice Department.

According to Kantipuronline, it is revealed that Indian criminals who are involved in various criminal activities in the border area have nexus with Terai-based armed outfits. District Police Office, Rautahat, claimed that some notorious Indian criminals committed crimes in the region in cahoots with the underground Terai groups. This came to the fore after an Indian criminal, who was recently arrested with arms, said during Police investigation that he is a member of an underground Terai outfit. Meanwhile, a majority of Maoist Central Committee members asked Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda to come up with a single document incorporating “positive” ideas proposed by the other two Vice-Chairmen, Baburam Bhattarai and Mohan Baidya. This has virtually put aside Bhattarai and Baidya’s political documents that conflicted with and challenged the one presented by Dahal. Though the Central Committee (CC) members also urged the top three leaders to bridge the widening rift among them, a majority of them sided with Prachanda as they said it was his document which would incorporate “some genuine issues” from the other two. Separately, the Communist Party of Nepal-Marxist Leninist (CPN-ML) General Secretary C. P. Mainali claimed that UCPN-M had offered him a sum of NR. 50 millions in exchange for supporting the Maoists to form a new Government. "Maoists came up with an exchange offer of NR 50 millions for the nine votes to elect UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal in the Prime Ministerial (PM) election,” said Mainali speaking at a programme on the importance of fringe parties in the formation of Government organised by Rafat Sanchar Club in Bhaktapur According to Nepal News, NC has made it clear that it is not going to pull out of the PM race, saying that a constitutional process that has already started cannot be stopped midway. A meeting of the NC parliamentary party arrived at this conclusion. Saying the voting will continue until the PM is elected, the NC also asked all the parties to participate in the election and vote for its PM candidate.

On September 7, the Meghalaya Police recovered three foreign-made pistols with ammunition, 69 rounds of live medium machine gun (MMG) ammunition stored in a box, a laptop, a solar plate, two wireless sets and documents belonging to United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) cadres after an operation against the militants holed up at Danal Dasik in the Songsak area in East Garo Hills District, reports Telegraph. The Police said there were around six militants belonging to ULFA’s ‘109th battalion’ in the hideout in Songsak, who managed to escape leaving behind the ammunition following counter-insurgency operations. The Police said ULFA’s ‘109th battalion’ is quite active in Garo hills which is being used by the outfit as a corridor to ferry arms and ammunition to Assam. The militants cross over to South and West Garo Hills from Bangladesh. The Police also fear that the militant groups active in Garo Hills like the Garo National Liberation Army and Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) which have links with ULFA, can use the weapons in Meghalaya to create law and order problems. “We are concerned about the stockpile but committed to check the trend as these arms may be used against soft targets in Assam,” the Police official added.

An elderly man injured during clashes between Security Forces (SFs) and stone pelters near SDA Colony in the Bemina area of Srinagar city succumbed on September 9, reported Daily Excelsior. While Police said Ghulam Ahmad Guroo was hit by a brick hurled by miscreants, the residents of his native Khujibagh area at Sumbal in Bandipora District said he had been hit by a tear smoke shell. Separately, a youth was shot dead by Army in 'mistaken identity' in the Kudora forest area of Bandipora District. Manzoor Ahmad Pathar was shot dead by the troops while he was moving from a dhok in forest area towards his residence in Kudora. A Defence spokesman said the troops challenged the person after noticing some suspicious movement during an ambush at around 2.30a.m. "The man ran away, prompting the jawans to open fire," he added. Normal life in Ganderbal District town remained paralysed as a mob started pelting stones at SFs to protest their alleged high handedness while dealing with similar protests on September 8 in which one protester was injured. Four more separatist leaders, including People’s League chairman Shabir Shah and Kashmir Bar Association (KBA) president Mian Abdul Qayoom, were detained under Public Safety Act (PSA) and lodged in Kot Bhalwal prison in Jammu on September 9. The others detainees were Qazi Yasir Ahmed, Mirwaiz of North Kashmir and Mohammad Akbar Lone, a leader of the All Party Hurriyat Conference- Geelani (APHC-G). In addition, 11 more habitual stone pelters from three Kashmir Valley Districts of Srinagar, Budgam and Anantnag were detained under PSA and shifted to Jammu. Meanwhile, authorities lifted curfew from all parts of Kashmir Valley on September 9, restoring normal life in the Valley. Curfew was lifted from the Srinagar, Anantnag and Bijbehara towns. The lifting of curfew saw markets across Kashmir valley, except for Ganderbal, coming to life. Meanwhile, Government said a video clip, purportedly showing some Kashmiri youths being stripped and paraded naked by uniformed personnel through an agricultural field in Sopore (Baramulla District), had not been "authenticated" and agencies had been asked to investigate the matter, reported Times of India. "No one has been able to authenticate the video so far," Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram told reporters while replying to a question on the three-minute video clip uploaded on two prominent social networking sites – You Tube and Face Book. The minister said he had asked security agencies to find out whether anybody featuring in the video had spoken out, adding, "Until it is authenticated and the persons identified, I think it would be unsafe to rely on such a video."

The Hindu reports that Rakesh Maria, chief of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) told journalists in Mumbai on September 9 that Himayat Baig, the alleged mastermind of the German Bakery blast case (February 13, 2010) in Pune, arrested by the ATS, received one-to-one training in bomb-making in Colombo in Sri Lanka in 2008 from Fayyaz Qazi, an absconding Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative. Maria said, the Sri Lankan city was chosen only as a meeting point and there was no other significance to it. Ruling out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) or any other connection, he said, "There seems to be only two reasons for choosing Colombo: the access to the country is easy as there is visa-on-arrival facility." Maria also said that Baig earlier received training in Bhatkal in Karnataka as well in 2007. He was trained in the methods of indoctrinating youth and the techniques to deal with Police interrogation. His primary job was to recruit and send youth for training to Pakistan. He even became a member of the Popular Front of India (PFI) for the same purpose. He was in touch with the LeT and had also been to Ashoka Mews in Pune (the media hub of the Indian Mujahideen which was busted by the ATS).

The United Nations General Assembly on September 9 reaffirmed its support for the UN anti-terror strategy, reports Daily Times. The resolution recognised the need to enhance the important role of the UN, including the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force that played along with other international and regional organisations in facilitating and promoting coordination and coherence to national, regional and global levels. Meanwhile, Pakistan urged for developing a mechanism to implement the provisions of the UN global strategy against terrorism.

The All Party Hurriyat Conference-Mirwaiz (APHC-M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on September 10 said that bilateralism has failed to resolve Kashmir issue and only way to settle the dispute was to implement the United Nations resolutions or hold a dialogue involving India, Pakistan and leadership of Jammu and Kashmir, reported Daily Excelsior. "Bilateral dialogue cannot resolve Kashmir issue. There are only two ways of resolving the issue i.e, either to implement the UN resolutions or hold talks between all the three parties to the dispute," Mirwaiz said in his Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid in Srinagar. He said Kashmir issue cannot be resolved by "Eid or economic packages". "We want Government of India to accept that people of Kashmir, as it existed on August 14, 1947, are the basic party to the dispute and its people will decide future of the State," he said. He elaborated that all five regions - three under Indian control and two under Pakistani control - need to be unified and views of people from all the regions need to be considered for a final settlement of the issue.

Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on September 10 stated that the Federal Government had no intention to launch a Swat-like military operation in Balochistan, reports Daily Times. “There is no such plan to launch a Swat or Malakand-like operation.

The PM said that Interior Minister Senator Rehman Malik, who had also already contradicted the statement, told him that he did not talk about starting any military operation in Balochistan. Gilani said that the federal government was very sensitive about Balochistan, adding the approval of a special Balochistan package was reflective of the government’s positive approach. “We have also invited the nationalist leaders for talks,” the PM said.

Young Communist League (YCL), the youth wing of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) announced phase-wise protest programme on September 10 demanding action against those who attacked its secretarial member Gopal Shrestha, reports Kantipuronline. The YCL submitted a memorandum to Chief District Officer Basanta Raj Gautam and declared to call Chitwan banda (general shut down) from September 16, including a motorcycle rally, graffiti painting, and torch rally. Meanwhile, two separate letters from the Nepali side, amid the controversy on the extension of the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN), pushed the United Nations Security Council into a state of ‘confusion’. On September 7, the Government sent a letter requesting the United Nations to extend UNMIN’s mandate by four months but remained silent on whether the Nepali Army should continue to remain under the UNMIN purview. The UCPN-M on September 9 sent a separate letter, saying that the UNMIN purview over the National Army should continue. Given the differences between the Government and the Maoists, it is not possible for the Security Council to take a decision, which would irk one of the two parties, UN sources said. The member states of the world body entrusted with the responsibility to decide on the future of UNMIN have expressed their concern during meetings with Nepali officials in Kathmandu and have asked for a clearly-worded official position. UNMIN’s tenure ends on September 15. Further, the UCPN-Maoist on September 10 reiterated its stand that it won't allow the caretaker Government to table any new bill in the Legislature-Parliament. Separately, the chairman of the UCPN-M Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda said that his party would immediately back out from the ongoing Priministerial race if Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and Nepali Congress decide to change their decisions.

US had asked Pakistan in 2002 to end infiltration across the Line of Control in J&K but was instead told not to "push it too far" on the issue with an assertion that “Kashmir should have been ours", Times of India quoting declassified documents released by the National Security Archive of the George Washington University reported on September 14. This communication forms part of a meeting Richard Haass, the then director of policy planning staff at the US state department, had with an unnamed Pakistani military official on October 31, 2002 to discuss US-Pak cooperation a year after the deadly 9/11 attacks in the US. "On Kashmir, Hass stressed the importance of ending infiltration, but the Pakistan official warned the US not to push Pakistan too far on Kashmir," classified documents said. Further, the declassified documents reveals that as the US prepared to invade Afghanistan in 2001 after 9/11 attacks, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) wanted America to enter into a dialogue with the Taliban, but the then George Bush Administration “bluntly” told President Pervez Musharraf that it had no inclination to do so. According to classified documents released by the National Security Archive of the George Washington University, two days after al-Qaeda unleashed terror on the US, its envoy to Pakistan Wendy Chamberlin “bluntly” told Musharraf on September 13, 2001 that there was “absolutely no inclination in Washington to enter into a dialogue with the Taliban, which controlled Afghanistan at that time. “The time for dialogue was finished as of September 11,” he told Musharraf, the documents said.

Of their monthly earning, around BDT 0.6 million is being sent by around 3,000 JMB supporters staying in Australia, England, Italy, Canada, Malaysia and middle-east countries, according to a statement made by Saidur Rahman at Taskforce for Interrogation cell recently.

Three youths were abducted by the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) militants from Dashaharpara village under Raisyabari Police Station in Dhalai District on September 15, according to Telegraph. The youths, who were abducted, are believed to have been taken to the outfit’s hideout in Miyani reserve forest in adjacent Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.

The Dir jirga (tribal assembly) tells Government to take action or allow lashkar (tribal militia) to attack TTP, reports Dawn. The residents of Doog Darra and surrounding areas have angrily reacted to abduction of their seven villagers from Chitral by TTP on August 29 and subsequent killing of three of them on September 9, asking the Government to take action against militants or allow the local lashkar to attack them. The jirga members said that militants had been hiding in Nuristan province of Afghanistan near Chitral but frequently crossing into Chitral for purchasing ration. Criticising police and other law enforcement agencies for inaction, they said that militants had been moving unchallenged in Darosh, Arando and other areas of Chitral. They asked the Government to arrest the fugitive militants or allow the lashkar to take action against them. Earlier, the Dir lashkar fought with militants for three months and inflicted heavy losses on them. They were forced to flee the area. The fugitive militants are vengeful because the local lashkar did not allow them to gain a foothold in Doog Darra.

Indian Express reports that Mirza Himayat Baig, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative arrested by the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) over his alleged involvement in the German Bakery blast case in Pune, revealed during interrogation that he had purchased the haversack and the mobile phone used in the blast from two shops in South Mumbai’s Crawford Market. An earlier forensic probe had found that the trigger used for the blast was an alarm ringer within the cell phone with the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) placed inside a red haversack. Baig is believed to have come to Mumbai by a private bus and stayed at a guesthouse in the Crawford Market area for a day under his operative name ‘Yusuf’. The guesthouse is a dormitory with INR 180 as daily rent. The Maharashtra ATS seized the guesthouse register in which they identified his ‘handwritten name and signature’. Documents of purchase and registers at the two shops were seized too. The agency is tracing his travels within the state and collecting evidence to establish the chain of events.

"This is creating an insecure environment which would result in further shortage of doctors in remote areas, where their services are badly needed," a Home Ministry statement said. It added that while on one hand, CPI-Maoist argue about lack of development in remote areas, on the other hand, the outfit continues to damage or destroy infrastructure in these places. "During their two-day bandh, they damaged, among others, a forest beat house at Chandiposh (District Sundergarh) in Orissa, a railway track in Muzaffarpur District and electronic equipment and generator set of a mobile tower in Gaya. They also set ablaze a bus in Sheohar District in Bihar. The Government condemns these despicable and desperate acts on the part of CPI (Maoist), and reassures its commitment to root out this menace in its entirety," the statement added.

Times of India reports that `Tech Jagan' alias `Tech Raju' alias Mallojula Srinivasa Chary (33), a top cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), surrendered before Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) D. Nagendra Kumar at L. B. Nagar Police Station on September 18. Tech Jagan had a reward of INR 200,000 on his head. Yacharam Inspector B Srinivas Rao said 'Tech Jagan' joined the Rachakonda Dalam (squad) in 2004 attracted by the Maoist ideology. Later, he was transferred to the Nallamalla area and then shifted to the Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB) during 2008. Srinivas Rao said 'Tech Jagan' was involved in an encounter with Police in Mannanur in Mahbubnagar District in 2004-05 and another assault in Nallamalla forest range in Prakasam District. He used to look after the repair work of weapons of the Maoists and was hence given the name `Tech Jagan'. Srinivasa Chary was unhappy with the shift in the policies of the Maoists and thus decided to join the mainstream, the Inspector claimed.

Two Taiwanese nationals were injured when two armed assailants on a motorcycle opened indiscriminate fire outside Gate No. 3 of the Jama Masjid (Mosque) in the Walled City of Delhi on September 19, according to The Hindu. Subsequently, an e-mail, purportedly sent by the Indian Mujahideen outfit to a radio station, claimed responsibility for the incident and warned the Government against hosting of the Commonwealth Games. “We know that preparations for the Games are at their peak. Beware! We too are preparing in full swing for a great surprise! The participants will be solely responsible for the outcome as our bands of Mujahideen love death more than you love life,” said the e-mail. The Police, however, ruled out the involvement of any organised terrorist group. “Investigation so far does not indicate any specific target or the involvement of any specific terror group. It appears to be the work of some local criminals or disgruntled people”, said the Delhi Police Spokesperson Rajan Bhagat. The Police recovered seven empty 9-mm cartridges from the attack site.

The State Government decided to expedite patrolling by Border Security force (BSF) in Koraput District. “BSF troopers will be asked to step up patrolling in areas close to their camps in Koraput," Orissa Home Secretary U N Behera told to reporters in reply to a question on the role of the Central Para Military Force (CPMF) in the Southern Districts. While three battalions of BSF troopers were deployed in Malkangiri, two other battalions had been put into service in Koraput. Stating that steps were being taken in accordance with the decision of the Unified Command formed to guide anti-Maoist operation, the State Home Secretary said Orissa was expecting a helicopter soon to track movement of rebels in dense forests of Southern Districts. Though five BSF battalions were camping in Koraput and another Southern Maoist-affected District Malkangiri for about six months, the CPMF was yet to take on the Maoists. CRPF personnel were also engaged in anti-Maoist operations with the state closely monitoring the Maoist activities in certain pockets.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is planning to trigger blasts using trained women terrorists who will intermingle with protesters to carry out attacks as part of a strategy to intensify violence in Kashmir Valley, according to intelligence intercepts, reported Times of India. "It has come to the notice of the intelligence agencies through various inputs received that terrorists belonging to the LeT are likely to intermingle with the protesters," a brief report of the Army said on September 24. According to inputs received, the LeT operatives have sought permission from their handlers across the border to lob grenades or explode Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during demonstrations to trigger large scale casualties and incite protesters to resort to violence, it said. Such attacks are most likely to be carried out in close proximity to camps and posts of Security Forces so as to ensure that they face the brunt of the violence and are forced to retaliate. "This is likely to set in motion a chain of events leading to high rate of casualties," the report said. The report said that highly trained women terrorists, who are experts in handling of explosives, are likely to be at the forefront of this new strategy aimed at upping the ante by exponentially increasing the intensity of violence and consequently the number of casualties. The local operatives and Over Ground Workers (OGWs) have also been instructed to motivate the economically weaker sections of the populace including women to join the protests, it said.

Announcing a eight-point Kashmir formula, the Centre on September 25 said a Group of Interlocutors led by an eminent persons will hold "sustained dialogue" with all sections of Jammu and Kashmir and also review deployment of security forces in the Valley, especially in Srinagar, reported Times Now. Unveiling a package of measures approved by the Cabinet Committee of Security (CCS) at its meeting in New Delhi in a bid to deal with the civil unrest in the Kashmir Valley, Home Minister P Chidambaram said the State Government will be advised to review the notification of areas as "Disturbed Areas". In a bid to reach out to the masses, the Centre also advised the State Government to release students and youth who have been arrested or detained for stone pelting and similar violations of law during the Valley unrest, and withdraw all charges against them. The State Government has also been advised to review cases of all Public Safety Act (PSA) detenues and withdraw detention orders in appropriate cases. "Government will appoint a Group of Interlocutors under the Chairmanship of an eminent person to begin the process of sustained dialogue with political parties, groups, students, civil society," Chidambaram added. The CCS decided to advice the State Government to immediately convene a meeting of the Unified Command and review the deployment of the Security Forces in Kashmir Valley, especially at Srinagar, with particular reference to descale bunkers and check points in the summer capital and other towns, the Home Minister said. Chidambaram said Government will grant ex-gratia of INR five lakh to the family of each of those killed in civil disturbances in Kashmir since June 11. On the issue of releasing people detained during the unrest, Chidambaram made it clear that there were only 245 people arrested or detained by the State Government out of whom 84 were in judicial custody, 110 in Police custody and 51 detained under the PSA. As part of the eight-point initiative, Chidambaram said two Special Task Forces--one each for Jammu region and Ladakh region--will be appointed to examine the developmental needs of the two regions, with particular reference to deficiencies in infrastructure and make suitable recommendations. Though, the ruling National Conference-Congress alliance along with the main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) welcomed the initiative, the All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) rejected Centre's eight-point formula to de-escalate the current turmoil in Kashmir terming it as an "eye wash" even as other separatist outfits maintained a studied silence.

Daily Excelsior reports that differences came to the fore among separatists as Mohammad Yasin Malik-led Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) on September 26 took exception to All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's remarks that Jammu and Kashmir could not survive as an independent country. "We respect every leader and the party associated with the on-going movement in Kashmir. But, we request the leaders not to issue statements which can lead to chaos and confusion among the people," several JKLF leaders said in a statement. The leaders, without mentioning Geelani, were reacting to his interview to a private news channel on September 25 in which he had said Jammu and Kashmir would have to accede either to Pakistan or India as it could not survive as a sovereign State. The JKLF leaders said there were many countries smaller than Jammu and Kashmir in terms of resources, area and population which had survived. This is for the first time during the current unrest in the Valley that separatist leaders have publicly voiced their differences over resolution of the Kashmir issue.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on September 26 said its personnel resort to firing only after exhausting all non-lethal methods of crowd control, according to Daily Excelsior. "There is a perception among some people, in particular among sections of civil society that CRPF is firing on unruly mobs in Jammu and Kashmir at the first instance without using alternate methods. All non-lethal methods are used to disperse the mobs and firing is resorted to only when there is an imminent danger to life and property," CRPF Special Director General (DG) N. K. Tripathy said. The CRPF personnel along with the State Police were increasingly using non-lethal methods of crowd control in the Valley, he said adding, "It is presumed in some sections that CRPF uses force at the first sight of mobs. Some people have even criticised the force for going berserk. This is far from truth." "The situation in Jammu and Kashmir in recent months has been very disturbed and the law and order situation is in turmoil. Riotous mobs pelt stones on Security Force personnel on regular basis. More than 50 times, the CRPF camps have been attacked by mobs," the Special DG informed. He said over 1400 force personnel had been injured in the past three months in the State.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set a 48-hour deadline in the evening of September 26 for accepting their demands for releasing the four Policemen they claim to have abducted on September 19, reports Sify.com. “There were a few handwritten leaflets found in Bijapur District's Bhopalpatanam area Sunday [September 26] in which Maoists have stated their demands included scrapping the anti-Maoist drive otherwise they will eliminate the policemen within 48 hours,” State Director General of Police (DGP) Vishwa Ranjan told IANS. Maoists had abducted seven Policemen on September 19 from Bhopalpatnam area of Bijapur District close to Andhra Pradesh border and had killed three of them a day later. Officials at the Police headquarters said that an Assistant Sub-Inspector, S. Bhagat, and three Constables are in the Maoists’ captivity and the Maoists have probably been shuttling them from one densely forested location to another between Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. “The letter has stated demands for scrapping the anti-Maoist drive Green Hunt, releasing a few people of four villages, stopping alleged police atrocities and starting peace talks,” the DGP said. He said those 'villagers' whose release the Maoists had demanded were actually village-level cadres of Maoists arrested on charges of involvement in unlawful activities.

Frustrated over Pakistan's lacklustre response to failed Times Square bombing, the US has warned Islamabad that it will be "unable to stop the consequences" of any terror attack, whose wires are linked to that country, a new book by Bob Woodward, 'Obama's War', reveals on September 26, reports Indian Express. President Barack Obama has sent his National Security Adviser Gen (retd) James Jones and CIA chief Leon Panetta to express his concerns to Islamabad, the book entitled 'Obama's War' said. Obama, via his officials, also slammed Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari for not adequately interrogating Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commander’ Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi in 26/11 Mumbai attacks case and said "he continues to direct LeT operations from his detention center." But the US officials returned with nothing after powerful Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani refused to adhere to any of the four demands made by them. Kayani had other concerns -- India, the book says. "The President wants everyone in Pakistan to understand if such an attack connected to a Pakistani group is successful there are some things even he would not be able to stop. Just there are political realities in Pakistan, there are realities in the US", an investigative US journalist Bob Woodward noted the officials' message to Zardari in the book. Further, the book reveals that the US doesn't want to arm Pakistan against India, adds Times of India. After 26/11 Mumbai carnage, in an Oval Office meeting with Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari, US President Barrack Obama bluntly tells him his country has to get over its obsession with India. "We do not begrudge you being concerned about India," Obama tells Zardari, "but we do not want to be part of arming you (Pakistan) against India, so let me be very clear about that." Zardari's response: "We're trying to change our world view but it's not going to happen overnight."

However, ULFA ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah in an e-mail said that there was no split in the ULFA. “It’s only a temporary internal conflict. I will keep myself away from meaningless verbal duel. The difference in the ULFA is only on the mode of going in for the peace process. The enemy is out to split the ULFA. I hope our chairman will be able to foil the move.”

Schools across Kashmir Valley reopened on September 27 after remaining shut for 100 days due to civil disturbances, according to Daily Excelsior. Attendance was, however, thin in the wake of All Party Hurriyat Conference–Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani’s call to parents not to send their wards to schools and colleges. Security Force (SF) personnel ensured that students and teachers had a smooth passage through areas where there were curfew and other restrictions. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of schools, the State Government had pressed a fleet of State Road Transport Corporation buses into service. More than 170 buses were deployed on 11 city routes for facilitating the movement of students and school staff. Despite tight security deployment around the schools, the school buses of some private schools became the target of the protestors, who smashed window panes of many vehicles at Rawalpora, Rangreth, Nowgam and also allegedly harassed the school staff at Nowshehra, Nowhatta and some other areas. Reopening of educational institutions was part of Centre's 8-point initiative to bring back peace in the Valley.

Over 120 mortars and rockets were fired by Pakistan Army in worst ever shelling and firing for 11 hours on forward Indian positions in Krishna Ghati and Jhalas sectors in Poonch District in the night of September 28 during which an attempt was made to push a group of 12 to 15 militants into this side from across the Line of Control (LoC), according to Daily Excelsior. Sources said the firing from Pakistan side, which had started at 8.20pm in the night of September 28 after an initial brief spell at 10.30am, continued till 7am on September 29. As many as 40 rockets, 80 mortars and over 6000 rounds of Light Machine Gun (LMG) were fired by Pakistan army during about 11 hours of uninterrupted firing at forward Indian posts of Kirpan, Teep Naveli, Nangi Tekri and Kranti between Krishna Ghati and Jhalas sectors. Pakistan army posts, active during the firing, included Roza, Battal, Pimple and Daaku. "However, Pakistan army failed to push the infiltrators due to effective retaliatory firing brought down by the troops. The intrusion bid was foiled by the troops’’, sources said, adding that at least 12 to 15 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Al-Badr had tried to intrude into this side under the cover of heavy firing by Pakistan army.

Intelligence agencies have disrupted an al Qaeda-linked plot to launch terror attacks in Britain, France and Germany, Times of India quoting Britain's Sky News television sources reported on September 28. Militants based in Pakistan planned simultaneous strikes in London and major cities in France and Germany, the report said, adding the plan was advanced but the attacks were not imminent. Spy agencies had for some time been tracking the militants who were planning the attack. The attacks would have been similar to commando-style raids carried out in Mumbai in 2008, intelligence sources were cited as telling the broadcaster. The plot in Europe was uncovered after intelligence-sharing between London, France, Germany and the United States. The report of the foiled plot came on the same day the Eiffel Tower in Paris was evacuated following a bomb threat for the second time in a month and amid official warnings in France of an imminent terrorist attack. When investigators discovered the plan, the US military began helping its European allies track down the organisers in Pakistan, which explains the increase in drone attacks in the country in recent weeks.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik told the National Assembly on September 28 that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were using Kuner province of Afghanistan as an operation-base against Pakistan, reports Daily Times. “We are at war on the Western borders and Kuner is being used as a safe haven to create unrest in Pakistan,” Malik said, adding that the matter was brought to the notice of the Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai during his recent visit to Pakistan. He, however, rejected an opposition’s demand to raise the issues of incursion by NATO. “A tripartite commission comprising the high officials from Pakistan Army, NATO forces and Afghanistan army is already in place to discuss and deal with such issues,” Malik further added.

Less than a month after the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's the then Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha had admitted before the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that the terror strikes had ISI links but claimed it was not an "authorized" operation and carried out by "rogue" elements, according to the book Obama's War written by investigative American journalist Bob Woodward. However, the CIA later received reliable intelligence that the ISI was directly involved in the training for Mumbai, says the book. According to the book, the then President George W. Bush had told his top aides that the terrorist attack on Mumbai was just like 9/11.

There are sharp disagreements between the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) and the Nepali Congress (NC) on how to end the current stalemate on Government formation, reports Kantipuronline. The NC argues that the parties should agree to a ‘package deal’ on the fundamental issues of the new constitution, critical issues of the peace process and power sharing arrangements before its candidate for the Prime Minister’s (PM) post, Ram Chandra Poudel, withdraws his candidacy. The Maoist party, meanwhile, continues to stand by its previous position that the withdrawal should precede any deal. Speaker Subash Nembang convened a meeting of the Maoists, NC, Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and Madhesh-based parties on September 28 to break the deadlock, but in vain. The ninth round of the PM poll is scheduled for September 30.

The Taliban has warned Bangladesh against sending troops to Afghanistan. The warning came after the United States (US) requested Dhaka to send combat forces to help the coalition forces in Afghanistan, reports Daily Star on September 29 quoting the Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) intelligence group, a US monitoring service dedicated to gathering information on international terrorist groups. SITE said the Taliban has responded by posting messages in Arabic and Pashto on its website and Jihadi forums calling on Dhaka to spurn the US request. "(We) believe that the leader of Bangladesh has enough Islamic knowledge and political wit not to involve people in the fight against Islam and against the Afghan people by sending a few hundred soldiers to Afghanistan," the message read.

India on September 29 slammed Pakistan for sponsoring militancy and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, and said Islamabad should not impart lessons to New Delhi on democracy and human rights, reported The Hindu. Hitting back at Pakistan a day after its Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi harped on giving the Kashmiri people the right to “self-determination through a plebiscite,” External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna said Islamabad must stop its state-sponsored militancy and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. “Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral part of India, is the target of Pakistan-sponsored militancy and terrorism. Pakistan must fulfil its solemn commitment of not allowing territory under its control to be used for terrorism directed against India,” Krishna said. “Credible and firm action by Pakistan against terrorist groups operating from its soil is in the interest of the region as it is in Pakistan's own interest.” Krishna further emphasised that “Pakistan has to live up to its commitment not to allow use of its soil by terrorists acting against India.” Pointing out that there could be no justification for terrorism just as there could be no good and bad terrorists, Krishna said it had emerged as one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. “Acts of terrorism need to be condemned by all, wherever and whenever they are committed, by whomsoever and for whatever purposes. It is important for every member-state of the U.N. to note that it is no longer possible to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. To defeat this scourge, it is imperative for the global community to build on international cooperation and take concerted action against terrorists and their sponsors,” he said.

At least 20 Britons are undertaking terrorist training in Pakistan to launch attacks in Britain, an intelligence report said on September 29, reports Daily Times. Al Qaeda and associated terrorist groups are training the young Muslims, who hold British passports, in the tribal areas, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph said. They are being trained to use firearms and explosives in order to carry out shooting sprees in the UK, intelligence sources had been cited as saying in the daily paper. “We believe there are 15 to 20 Britons in the camps,” an intelligence source in Islamabad told the newspaper, on condition of anonymity. Meanwhile, a Pakistani intelligence official said that eight Germans and two British brothers are at the heart of an al Qaeda-linked terror plot against European cities, but the plan is still in its early stages, with the suspects calling acquaintances in Europe to plan logistics. One of the Britons died in a recent CIA missile strike, he added. Pakistan, Britain and Germany are tracking the suspects and intercepting their phone calls, the official said. The official is part of an intelligence team that has been tracking the two British brothers of Pakistani origin for nearly a year and the Germans for more than six months. He said the suspects are hiding in North Waziristan.
