The thrust of their discussions was on including the remaining Districts under the Centre’s Integrated Action Plan (IAP) since the entire State — all 24 Districts — was a victim of Maoist terror. Munda made special mention of Giridih, which was not among the 14 Districts getting Central assistance for development projects, but was as backward and as severely Maoist-hit as the others.

The Times of India reports that India and Pakistan had through "back channels" agreed to a non-territorial solution to Kashmir under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and then Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, reveals a latest Wikileaks cable. According to the US embassy cable - dated April 21, 2009 - Singh confirmed this to a visiting US delegation, led by then House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Howard Berman in April, 2009, saying that the solution included free trade and movement across LoC. "We had reached an understanding in back channels," he related, says the cable, in which Musharraf had agreed to a non-territorial solution to Kashmir. Singh's comments authenticate Musharraf's assertions in 2010 that India and Pakistan had reached that stage, where they were preparing the final draft for the resolution. He had said the two sides shared drafts through "back channels", and these were in keeping with the four-point template which he had envisaged to resolve the issue. Musharraf's four points included demilitarization, maximum autonomy, making border irrelevant and joint management of the area.

Turning down the appeal made by the arrested extremist leader Swami Aseemanand who had sought directions to restrain National Investigation Agency (NIA) from re-examining samples gathered after bomb blasts in Samjhauta Express on February 18, 2007, the Punjab and Haryana High Court, on September 2, ruled that NIA's move cannot be termed as re-investigation, but is further investigation in the case, which is permissible under law, The Times of India reported. Special NIA court, Panchkula, where trial against Aseemanand is pending, had allowed the agency to examine the samples, but he had moved the HC against the trial court's decision. In his appeal before the HC, Aseemanand had pleaded that the NIA wanted to re-examine the sample just to create evidence against him. He also submitted that since the agency had already investigated the matter and chargesheet has been filed in the case, such examination amounted to re-investigation.

US Intelligence agencies knew as early as 1997 that terror groups conducting attacks in Kashmir as well as the rest of India were being run and funded by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), latest cables released by WikiLeaks reveal, according to Indian Express. There are several instances of information on terror operations on Indian soil being funded and supported by Pakistan in the plethora of cables that have been released but one cable as early as July 1997 strikes out with the sheer detail of information that was available to the US much before the 9/11 attacks of 2001. A secret cable sent in July 1997 details the role of the Pakistani establishment in funding and running Kashmir terror groups that conducted a series of attacks in India. The cable discusses the role of the Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front (JKIF) that it says was controlled by the ISI and formed by Sajjad Ahmed Kenu in 1995. “Since its inception, the JKIF has been under considerable pressure from its Pakistan-based leadership to carry out bomb blasts outside J&K, particularly in Delhi,” the cable reads.

A man of Pakistani origin has been arrested and charged in the US with supporting Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), FBI officials said on September 2, reports Dawn. Zubair Ahmad (24), of Woodbridge, Virginia, allegedly received religious training from the terrorist group as a teenager in Pakistan and later attended one of its training camps. Zubair came to the United States in 2007 with his family. He’s been under investigation for two years, ever since the US Federal Bureau of Investigation got a tip that he might be connected to the group, the officials said. An affidavit submitted in a Virginia court claims that in September 2010, Zubair produced and uploaded a propaganda video to YouTube on behalf of LeT, after communications with a person named “Talha”. In a subsequent conversation with another person, Zubair identified Talha as Talha Saeed, the son of LeT ‘chief’ Hafiz Mohammed Saeed. Talha and Zubair allegedly communicated about the images, music and audio that Zubair was to use to make the video. The final video contained images of LeT leader Hafiz Saeed, so-called jihadi (holy war) martyrs and armoured trucks exploding after they were hit by improvised explosive devices. In October 2010, Talha allegedly contacted Zubair and requested that he revise the LeT propaganda video, giving Zubair specific instructions. Zubair allegedly revised the video and posted it on October 16, 2010. In August 2011, FBI agents interviewed Zubair, but he denied any involvement with the October 2010 video.

The new MPVs have five major upgrades. A better air-conditioning system to ensure that the Policemen seated in the backroom behind the cabin will not feel smothered as used to happen in the earlier vehicle. It has transparent glass windows now instead of opaque like in the earlier versions that will eliminate the need to look through the holes in the panes to take an aim at the enemy. The new vehicles have broad and puncture-proof tyres. The biggest improvement, however, is in terms of the strength of the vehicle to withstand blasts. Earlier version of MPVs had a capacity to withstand up to 5 kilogram blasts whereas the strength has been increased manifold.

A leaked American cable revealed that former national security advisor M K Narayanan, during his conversation with the then US ambassador had hinted at a possibility of involvement of Indian nationals in international Islamist outfits like, al Qaeda, Times of India reported. According to the cable, Narayanan had made allusions to the Jaipur blast in 2008, in which four out of nine suspects were locals. He also said the joint anti-terror mechanism with Pakistan had failed as even though India asked Islamabad to look into several of "few thousand" phone numbers intercepted from the Taliban, the Pakistanis continually responded that the numbers did not exist or no one was on the other end.

Meanwhile, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks, the US Embassy had cautioned its Government against any “activism” in Kashmir saying even a hint of it can prove counter-productive in view of India’s hypersensitivity to third party involvement on the issue. “Any hint of USG (United States Government) activism in Kashmir, however helpful the intentions behind it, will prove counterproductive because of the GOI’s (Government of India) hypersensitivity to third party involvement in Kashmir,” the US Ambassador to India, Timothy Roemer, had said in a secret cable to Washington in 2009. “In order for the GOI’s efforts to restore sustainable peace and stability in Kashmir to succeed, its engagement with the separatists and with the Kashmiri people must be free of any perception of outside influence,” the ambassador said. Roemer had outlined a slew of measures that Indian Government should take to make forward movement on resolution of Kashmir issue, particularly the internal dimensions, but warned against making these “prescriptive” in nature. In the list of 20 suggestions, he had said that the Centre should ensure that dialogue with separatists achieves results and the generous development spending in Jammu and Kashmir should continue. He had also called for repeal, selectively repeal or more judicious use of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) and the Disturbed Areas Act. Another leaked cable highlighted the turf war between rival factions of the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC). According to the cable, APHC-Mirwaiz (APHC-M) leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq had counseled against issuing a passport to APHC-Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani for seeking treatment in the United States saying he would "stir up trouble". "When we met Mirwaiz in February, he said it would be a big mistake for the GoI (Government of India) to issue Geelani a passport to travel, because he would stir up trouble," a March 2007 US embassy cable released by WikiLeaks said.

The National Investigation Agency concluded that the Mumbai serial blasts (July 13, 2011) was the handiwork of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), Deccan Chronicle reported. The NIA informed the Government about this in August, 2011 giving details regarding involvement of key IM operatives in the planning and execution of the blasts. The NIA had been involved in the blast investigations along with Mumbai crime branch and anti-terror squad. Sources said the agency has concluded that the conspiracy was hatched by the Bhatkal brothers, Riaz and Iqbal, along with their two key associates, Shahnawaz and Mohd Khalid. Bhatkal brothers, Riaz and Iqbal are now said to be in Pakistan. “Shahnawaz is said to be hiding in Sharjah while Khalid is in Dubai. We have technical evidence in our possession to suggest that the four hatched the blast conspiracy and were in touch with another group in Bangladesh. A close technical scrutiny has revealed a complex web of phone calls and e-mails between top IM operatives,’’ a top intelligence official said. Interestingly, NIA sources have informed the Centre that the IM operatives have a close association with the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and used one of their sleeper cells in Mumbai for logistical support.

Responding to the questions of reporters that the arrest of youth after the amnesty offer has not stopped, Omar said that he was not responsible. "The youth who were arrested till I announced amnesty, their cases are being withdrawn. After that wherever stone pelting has happened it is not me who is responsible but those who went to those places and then stone pelting took place," said Omar in an apparent reference to All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani. "If after amnesty, the situation is being tried to worsen and the youth are being used it is not us who are responsible but those who are playing with the future of youth," Omar accused.

The group of interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir on September 3 said its final recommendations do not exist ''even in their embryonic form'', contradicting media reports that pre-1953 status will be the way forward in resolving the sensitive problem, according to PTI. "The report is purely speculative in nature. The group of interlocutors is presently engaged in preparing a draft of its final report which is expected to be submitted to the Government of India before its term ends on October 12, 2011," the interlocutors -- Dilip Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M M Ansari -- said in a statement. “The three members of the group are yet to enumerate, let alone discuss and finalise the recommendations. They will do so after they return from their last visit to Jammu and Kashmir in the later half of this month," they said. "So", the interlocutors said, "There is no question of anyone in the Government, let alone outside the Government, being privy to the final recommendation. These recommendations do not exist in their embryonic form at present," the statement said on the media report which had quoted highly placed sources in the Government. The panel had submitted its interim report nearly 10 weeks back. The interlocutors have so far made 10 visits to the State and covered 18 of the 22 Districts during which they have met nearly 5,000 people which includes political leaders, trade unions, lawyers, student unions and newly-elected panchs (member of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and sarpanchs ((head of Panchayat). However, the separatists, including both factions of All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) led by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Syed Ali Shah Geelani have not met the interlocutors. Former Hurriyat Chairman and a prominent Shia leader Maulana Abbas Ansari had met one of the interlocutors but in his individual capacity.

The State Government justified curbs on movement of Geelani saying his provocative speeches invariably lead to serious law and order problems in the Kashmir Valley, reports Outlook. "Whenever Geelani is allowed to address (a) gathering at any place, it is followed by large-scale stone pelting and attacks on police and paramilitary forces, leading to serious law and order problem," a Government spokesman said. The spokesman cited four examples when the Hurriyat hawk was allowed to move out of his house and address gatherings, which led to stone-pelting incidents. "No government can allow antics of one person to result in law and order disturbances, which cause miseries and sufferings to general masses and adversely affect education of children and trade of business fraternity. In future, if any restrictions are put on the movement of Geelani, he and his actions alone would be responsible for this," he said. However, a statement by Geelani denied that his visits to any place were leading to law and order problems, adds Hindustan Times. "It is only the brutal attitude of Police which results in chaos and confusion after we successfully conclude a peaceful rally," the statement said. Geelani termed the stone throwing after the conclusion of his public programs as part of "government’s plot" to stop him from moving out of his home.

A US diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks has revealed that in the aftermath of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (26/11), the US had categorically told Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure on its soil and take action against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed for his alleged involvement in the attacks. "In his introductory meeting with Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik (on) August 25 (2009), Ambassador (Timothy) Roemer stressed the importance of bringing to justice the perpetrators of the Mumbai terrorist attacks and dismantling terror groups," the US diplomatic cable released last week said. Roemer, in the 2009 cable, specifically emphasised the importance of acting on the evidence involving LeT founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed. Malik responded by characterising the latest dossier on Hafiz Saeed handed over by New Delhi to Islamabad as a "rehash" of existing evidence. According to another cable, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had accused the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of shooting down proposals to resolve the ongoing Kashmir issue. Omar acknowledged that Pakistan had gone farther than India on the Kashmir issue. Omar allegedly told US diplomat Dan Burton in 2005 that India did not have a roadmap to solve the issue. Omar had said that the Prime Minister must think outside the box to solve the festering problem. Going a step further, he even accused Centre of being content with the status quo on Kashmir issue. Omar, who was then a Member of Parliament, even conceded that joint cultural events were not able to help normalise India-Pakistan ties.

According to The Telegraph, the success of the intensified anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) drive in the Saranda forests in Jharkhand bordering Odisha has prompted the State Government to plan similar operations at other Maoist bastions in the State. Sources said the Saranda model of flushing out Maoists holed up in dense forests would be replicated in Districts such as Malkangiri and Koraput which share borders with Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. As in the case of Saranda, where the troopers of Odisha and Jharkhand have joined hands in the anti-Maoist drive, help from Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh would be sought for similar joint initiatives in Koraput and Malkangiri where the Maoists appear to have entrenched themselves taking advantage of difficult terrain.

Secret intelligence reports that have come to light in leaked US diplomatic cables pointed to efforts by “Kashmiri terrorists” to conduct November 26, 2008 Mumbai (26/11)-style attacks in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab after the 26/11 attack, reports Indian Express. A classified intelligence report sent out by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009 details efforts by terrorists to “set off explosions and carry out terrorist attacks” in the two States and speculates that a terror team might have already arrived in Himachal Pradesh to carry out the attack. The detailed reports, drawn up by the US State Department’s Office of Intelligence and Threat Analysis, say that terror groups have been emboldened by the Mumbai attack and are planning attacks on Indian missions abroad and key infrastructure projects in Jammu and Kashmir. “India learned in late March that up to three or more teams of terrorists, at least some of whom are Kashmiris, are planning to set off explosions and carry out terrorist attacks in the states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. At least one terrorist team might already have arrived in Himachal Pradesh,” a cable sent out by Clinton on March 27, 2009 says. “The terrorists allegedly intend to carry out attacks seminal to those in Mumbai,” the report, released by WikiLeaks, adds. The same cable goes on to say that as of early 2009, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) remained capable of carrying out attacks on mainland India though there was no information on the location or nature of the attacks. “Indeed, there is little reporting to suggest counter terrorism efforts by the Pakistanis have done anything to encumber LeT’s operational network in South Asia (Himachal Pradesh and Punjab located in northwest India),” it reads. Besides attacks in Punjab and Himachal, LeT was also planning attacks on “high profile infrastructure” in Jammu and Kashmir, the report suggests. “Terrorists may be planning attacks against civilian infrastructure sites in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Possible attack locations include several dams, power stations, and three airports: Leh, Kargil, and Jammu Satwari,” the report says. A similar intelligence report sent out by Clinton in December 2008 in the aftermath of the Mumbai attack also says that the LeT was “likely capable” of conducting another attack in India in the coming months. It also reveals that India shared concerns with the US that its missions abroad would be attacked by Pakistan-based terror groups. While inputs in many cables point to the frustration in India over the lack of action by Pakistan against terror camps post the Mumbai attack, there is also a reference to intelligence sharing by Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) Chief Shuja Pasha on possible threats against Israeli targets in India.

The US officials knew for a very long time that Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) had created various terrorist groups, including those based out from Nepal, to carry out attacks in India, according to the latest US cables released by Wikileaks, according to Indian Express. The US cables clearly show that Americans also knew that Tiger Memon, the prime accused in 1993 Mumbai blast case and an aide of global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, had tied up with the ISI. One of such organisations created by ISI in Pakistan was Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front (JKIF), with its main base in Kathmandu, Nepal. "To dispatch men and material and to execute explosions in India, Kathmandu was invariably made the nodal point and JKIF exploited the vulnerable Kathmandu-based Kashmiri businessmen for such activities since they had a ready-made and clean past. JKIF kingpin Javed Krawah himself used to run a carpet business in Kathmandu," said the US cable signed off by the then US Ambassador to India, Frank Wisner. The JKIF, says the cable dated July 8, 1997, was controlled from Pakistan by ISI and Memon. "Their contact in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was Bilal Beg, who was running an indoctrination camp near Muzaffarabad, funded extensively by the ISI to carry out terrorist acts in India. ''One Colonel Farooq of Pakistan ISI tasked Bilal Beg and Tiger Memon to utilize Kathmandu-based activists Lateef and Javed Krawah to set off blasts in Delhi before the Lok Sabha elections," it said. In May 21, 1996; this JKIF team set off a very high intensity explosion at Lajpat Nagar, in which 13 persons were killed and 40 injured. "The RDX used in this blast was brought from Kathmandu," the cable said. The subsequent explosion in a Rajasthan roadways bus near Dausa on May 22, 1996 was also engineered by the JKIF. "Another JKIF team under the leadership of Abdul Gani, AKA Assadullah, was sent to execute a bomb blast in Ahmedabad," it said. The JKIF again planned a chain of explosions in Delhi before Republic Day 1997 at the behest of ISI and Tiger Memon, the cable said. Since its inception, the JKIF had been under considerable pressure from its Pakistan-based leadership to carry out bomb blasts outside Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in Delhi, the cable said.

Times of India reports that the apex tribal body of the Nagas, the Naga Hoho, has urged the State Government to enact 'special laws' to deal with anti-social elements who are involved in rampant collection of 'taxes', extortion and abduction of innocent citizens for ransom. It said, these anti-social activities have been the order of the day for quite some time now and have become a hindrance to the economic progress of the State. "While unity and reconciliation among various political groups is a good beginning, it has also become akin to giving these anti-socials a license for more extortion and taxation, which is not acceptable to the people," a statement issued by the Naga Hoho ‘president’ Keviletuo Kiewhuo and ‘general secretary’, P Chuba Ozukum, stated.

Kantipuronline reports that the Nepali Congress (NC), which unveiled its official and latest stand on peace process on September 7, said it is seriously doubtful over the commitment of Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) to implementing the past pacts concerning peace and statute, especially given the “controversial” four-point deal with United Democratic Madhesh Front (UDMF). Endorsed unanimously by the party's Central Working Committee, the 14-point document on peace process, welcomes the weapons key handover as a “positive step” but states that the “drama of protests from within the party” has made it suspicious over the Maoist party's real intention. The document prepared by Sher Bahadur Deba-led committee demands the Maoists to come up with a clear, time bound action plan on completing the peace process within 45 days. It calls the Maoists to agree on number, modality, norms, role and rehabilitation package of combatants, handover all the weapons to the Government, bring all the combatants in the main cantonments, put them practically under control of Special Committee and regroup them based on their choices. “All these should be done by October 14,” reads the document. The NC also proposes for integration of 4,000 combatants on individual basis and that each should meet the standards set out by the concerned Security Forces.

A high alert was sounded by the West Bengal Police throughout the State late on September 8 after a Central intelligence input indicated that five militants of the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) had crossed over to the State recently from Bangladesh to carry out terror attacks, according to The Hindu. “We received an input from our counterparts in the Centre that five militants of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen terror outfit have sneaked into West Bengal a few days back through the porous border in Malda District. The militants have subsequently split up in three groups and headed in different directions to carry out terror attacks, possibly in crowded marketplaces or court premises or at important installations like airports or railway stations,” a senior State Intelligence Branch official said on September 9.

Pakistan wanted to wind down militancy in Jammu and Kashmir in 2006, but failed due to a stiff 10-day protest by militant leaders, according to a US embassy cable from Islamabad released by Wikileaks, reports Hindustan Times. “The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had summoned the leaders of the Kashmiri militancy for a March 8, 2006, meeting in which the Government of Pakistan thanked the militants for their struggle, but then told them to lay down their arms and give the bilateral peace process a chance,” says the cable. The cable says that the militant leaders responded to Pakistan’s orders to stand down and accept financial cuts with a 10-day protest, and refused to leave the safe house in Islamabad where the meeting took place. Although the details varied, most accounts agreed on the basic message: time had come for the militants to stop violence to allow space for President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to move forward with peace initiatives. According to the cable, Srinagar-based separatist leader Yasin Malik, who heads the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), told the US that he had used his March-April 2006 visit to Pakistan to reach out to Kashmiri militant leaders, counseling them to lay down arms and give the peace process a chance. The cable also stated that JKLF secretary general Mohammed Rafiq Dar said the confusion in the United Jihad Council (UJC) – a conglomerate of leaders of militant groups active in Kashmir – created an opening for Malik to advocate a ceasefire. For instance, Dar said Malik held several conversations with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) leader and UJC chairman Syed Salahuddin, who said he joined the protest in response to Pakistan’s orders out of comradeship. The US embassy adds a note to Salahuddin’s statement saying, “The syntax of Salahuddin’s remark suggesting that militancy will naturally die off if only the militants were given a seat at the table indicates that it was lifted straight from Malik’s talking points, which paraphrase Musharraf’s own thinking.” In 2006, Musharraf had proposed a four-point formula, envisaging self-rule in a Jammu and Kashmir demarcated into provinces.

United States Embassy in New Delhi believes that the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) spearheading the resistance movement in Jammu and Kashmir split in 2003 due to "proxy participation" of Abdul Gani Lone-led People's Conference (PC) in the Legislative elections in 2002, Kashmir Dispatch reports citing a Wikileaks cable released recently. The partial extract of the original cable, which details the profile of Kashmir-related leaders, dates back to 2005. The cable while profiling Lone's son, Sajad Gani Lone, who participated in the 2008 state elections, says, "The Hurriyat split in September 2003 on the issue of People’s Conference’s proxy participation in 2002 landmark state elections." The three-part biographic report compiled "information academics, journalists, NGO activists and others during a 2002-2005 assignment at embassy New Delhi" and impressions gained from contact with Kashmir-related politicians, government officials, separatists. Syed Ali Shah Geelani demanded that the PC and the brothers be expelled from the APHC, but the moderates (Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Prof Abdul Ghani Bhat, Maulvi Abbas Ansari and the Lones) resisted, whereupon Geelani took his group out of the Hurriyat, and it has remained deeply split ever since, the cable read.

Terming Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) as the biggest danger to the Afghanistan Government, US Senator Mark Kirk on September 8 said that ISI was responsible for the death of several Americans inside war-ravaged Afghanistan, reports Indian Express. "Pakistan has become the main threat to Afghanistan. Pakistan's intelligence service is the biggest danger to the Afghan government. It is also a tremendous threat to the lives of American troops," Senator Mark Kirk said in his speech after his third two-week Afghan assignment as Naval Reserve Intelligence Commander. "Let me be clear: many Americans died in Afghanistan because of Pakistan's ISI. Afghans are most victimised by their neighbours, the Pakistanis," he said. "I first served as a reservist in Afghanistan in 2008. I believed that Pakistan was complicated, that we have many interests there and that we must advance diplomatically. I no longer agree with that," he added. Identifying the Haqqani network as the new face of terror, Kirk said that the Haqqanis are backed and protected by ISI

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is resisting Islamabad’s pressure for a big push against terrorists in eastern Afghan provinces, where most of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have set up sanctuaries and have launched multiple attacks from there on Pakistan’s border check posts, reports Dawn. The differences could result in another rough patch in military and intelligence ties between Pakistan and the US, which leads the NATO mission in Afghanistan. The relations were gradually improving after months of friction. ISAF Commander General John Allen, who was on his first visit to Pakistan on September 7 after taking over the coalition command in Afghanistan, had to listen to protests by Pakistani generals upset over the ease with which TTP who, after fleeing military operations in the country, launched attacks in Dir and Chitral from their sanctuaries in Kunar and Nuristan. On September 6, Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had visited Chitral and adjoining areas that witnessed TTP attacks and the issue was also discussed at the Corps Commanders conference, underscoring the seriousness being attached by the Army to the issue.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is resisting Islamabad’s pressure for a big push against terrorists in eastern Afghan provinces, where most of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have set up sanctuaries and have launched multiple attacks from there on Pakistan’s border check posts, reports Dawn. The differences could result in another rough patch in military and intelligence ties between Pakistan and the US, which leads the NATO mission in Afghanistan. The relations were gradually improving after months of friction. ISAF Commander General John Allen, who was on his first visit to Pakistan on September 7 after taking over the coalition command in Afghanistan, had to listen to protests by Pakistani generals upset over the ease with which TTP who, after fleeing military operations in the country, launched attacks in Dir and Chitral from their sanctuaries in Kunar and Nuristan. On September 6, Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had visited Chitral and adjoining areas that witnessed TTP attacks and the issue was also discussed at the Corps Commanders conference, underscoring the seriousness being attached by the Army to the issue.

A US secret diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks revealed that All Part Hurriyat Conference-Mirwaiz (APHC-M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq wanted Line of Control (LoC) to be converted into a permanent border and three separate legislative assemblies for Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir regions with Chief Minister and Governor from each region on rotation basis, according to Indian Express. The cable said the Mirwaiz wanted this “because he was concerned about his own political future”. It adds that the Mirwaiz's proposal — ‘United States of Kashmir’ — included turning the LoC into a permanent border between India and Pakistan. “First, the LoC would become border, but every effort would be made by parties on both sides to make it irrelevant similar to the soft barriers that define many of the borders in Europe. Second, both Kashmiri regions of India and Pakistan would be given semi-autonomous status. The proposal would set three separate state assemblies on the Indian side… and two on the Pakistani side including Azad Kashmir and northern areas,” it says. The diplomatic cable sent from US embassy on September 9, 2006 said the soft border solution is getting support in the Valley from both separatists and mainstream political parties

Fierce clashes between two factions of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) rattled the Talo Kanj, Badsha Kot and Shabak areas of Kurram Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on September 9, reports Dawn. The fighting involved militants loyal to TTP chief Hakeemullah and TTP Kurram chapter Chief Fazal Seed. The latter had parted ways with the TTP and formed his own group, Tehreek-e-Taliban Islami Pakistan (TTIP), on June 27. The rift between the two groups reached peak after Hakeemullah’s men set up checkposts in Talo Kanj, Badsha Kot and Shabak areas. They then started collecting “taxes”. The Fazal Saeed group resisted the move and his supporters attacked the checkposts and tents of Hakeemullah’s men. Both sides used heavy weapons as fighting continued till late into the night.

Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to extend Central assistance - similar to the assistance provided to Andhra Pradesh to tackle the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] menace, reports Daily Bhaskar. Naxal activity in Karnataka was witnessed in the bordering Districts of Andhra Pradesh such as Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar and Tumkur during the 1980s and 1990s, which spread to Malnad in the Western Ghats recently. It is feared that this menace will spread to the tri-junction of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, said Gowda in his address to the National Integration Council meeting in New Delhi on September 10. Since Karnataka does not receive central funds to fight Naxals, the State is using its own resources by adopting a two-pronged strategy through consistent Police action and increased developmental initiatives, Gowda said. Karnataka has also formulated and implemented a Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy for Naxals and this has proved to be very useful in bringing some of them back into the mainstream, Gowda added.

Pakistan has sealed off all borders with Afghanistan in order curb the massive influx of Afghans into Pakistan, said Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik on September 10, reports Daily Times. Addressing a news conference at the CM Secretariat in Quetta, the Minister said that the Government had imposed a complete ban on the movement of Afghan refugees and other foreign nationals by restricting their movement to the locality where they resided. “There will be a complete restriction on the movement of Afghan refugees in Balochistan and KP,” the Federal Minister told journalists. He said that Army, Frontier Corps, Police and Balochistan Levies had been asked to place a check on the free movement of Afghan refugees and other foreigners and bar them from entering major human settlements. “We have given the deadline of one month to illegal immigrants to obtain their refugee cards or otherwise they would be arrested and deported to Afghanistan after completing their sentences,” Malik said. Pakistan has also banned issuing Visit Visas to Afghans.” There will be no Afghan visiting Pakistan on a Visit Visa,” he added. Further, when asked if key operatives of al Qaeda and Taliban were in Quetta, he said that after the death of Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda has declared Pakistan to be its enemy. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leaders, according to him, have moved from remote tribal areas to Quetta after their defeat by the Pakistan Army. He said that “The Tehreek-e-Taliban leaders, who were based in the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA), are facing defeat at the hand of the Pakistan Army and have now moved to Quetta,” Malik said, referring to the recent twin suicide attacks on the residence of the DIG of the Frontier Corps (FC), Farrukh Shehzad.

He reminded that the Maoists who have taken up arms are also citizens of this country and one can’t drive them out. So, one has to deal with them keeping all these facts in mind.

Their “lust for lucre” was amply exposed when a Bihar Police team recovered share investment papers worth INR 820,000 from the hideout of a top Maoist leader, Birbal Murmu, alias Birbalda, during a raid at Chaupalwa village in the Laxmipur Police Station area of Jamui District on September 11.

The Times of India reports that the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has earmarked 70 exclusive battalions for counter insurgency and Naxal (Left-Wing Extremist) operations which will be insulated from regular law and order duties performed by the force. Creation of two distinct units, one for undertaking operations and the other for performing duties like conduct of polls, etc, was recommended in the aftermath of the Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada District where 75 armed CRPF personnel and a State policeman were killed on April 6, 2010. "We have earmarked and created 70 battalions for counter-insurgency tasks. These battalions will never be used for other law and order duties and will follow a strict regime of training, deployment and performing their specific job," CRPF Director General K Vijay Kumar said.

The Telegraph reports that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) said United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Barua is in China and not in Myanmar. Rubbishing reports of Barua being in Myanmar, taking shelter in Khaplang’s headquarters not far from the Indo-Myanmar border, kilonser (minister) for information and publicity, Wangtin Naga told The Telegraph over phone from his hideout somewhere in Mon District of Nagaland that Barua is currently in Yunnan province of China. ‘Envoy’ to the collective leadership of the outfit, Kughalu Mulatonu, quoting reports from Myanmar, said the military might have overrun a few mobile camps of the NSCN-K but there was no report of any casualty. Mulatonu said some weeks back New Delhi had supplied over 50 trucks laden with arms and ammunition to Myanmar to flush out Indian militants taking refuge in Myanmar. Mulatonu and Tikhak have expressed resentment to the Government of India for supplying arms and ammunition to Myanmar to wage war against the NSCN-K while talks of peace are on. Further, Kughalu Mulatonu blamed the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) for the split in NSCN-K in June. In a statement, Kughalu Mulatonu, blamed Wati Aier and “his FNR for the split” in the outfit in June that resulted in one faction headed by S.S.Khaplang and the other by ‘General’ Khole Konyak and N.Kitovi Zhimomi. Mulatonu described the FNR act as fratricide and demanded that it explain the real motive of exclusion of other Naga political groups in the reconciliation process.

Calling Naxalism (Left-Wing Extremism) a bigger challenge than terrorism or insurgency, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on September 13 said that the burden of governance in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected Districts must rest with the States as the Central Government "does not have that much human resources" and can only provide help, reports The Times of India. He said the battle in the affected Districts was not for maintaining law and order but winning the "minds and hearts" of the people there. "The most violent movement in India is not terrorism or insurgency but Left-wing extremism. While 26 people were killed in terrorist violence and 46 in insurgency (27 in Jammu & Kashmir), 297 people were killed in Naxal violence. That is ten times of those killed in terror incidents," Chidambaram said. He was speaking at a national workshop attended by collectors of 60-Maoist-hit Districts in New Delhi. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who concluded the day-long session, stressed on integrated development while urging the collectors to have zero tolerance for corruption.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) appears to have made a climb down from their stand of getting political prisoners freed as a condition for talks with the Mamata Banerjee Government, reports The Times of India. Bandimukti Committee convener Chhoton Das, who is also one of the interlocutors appointed by the Chief Minister to mediate with the Maoists in Jungle Mahal, said in Kolkata on September 13 that the Maoists are now insisting on two conditions: the operations by the joint forces must stop and the private armed groups which have mushroomed in Junglemahal in recent months must be disarmed. "Maoists know that if talk’s progress, the release of prisoners would follow automatically," Das said. Earlier, however, the Maoists had demanded release of prisoners before the talks begin. About 10 members of CPI-Maoist are behind the bars across the State, said Das. Sixty-six tribals are also languishing in different jails for alleged Maoist links - 36 of them in Midnapore jail, 21 in Bankura and nine in Purulia.

Federal Minister of Interior Rehman Malik on September 13 said that ‘criminals’ arrested in Karachi during the current operation belonged to all political parties, reports Dawn. The Government has evidences (audio and video tapes) against them which will be made public if permitted by the Supreme Court. “I will consult with the federation’s lawyer, Babar Awan, about getting permission from the Supreme Court to make the names of criminals public,” he told reporters at the National Press Club. Although, he said, the people arrested in Karachi belonged to all political parties, he was of the view that they had not been recruited by the parties, but they somehow managed to get refuge in them after committing crimes. He said that Police and Rangers had arrested 48 target killers, 90 criminals and 28 extortionists and seized 308 weapons. The operation, he said, was being carried out without any discrimination, with the sole objective being to restore normality and peace in the city

Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) provided protection to slain al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden for a period of time, Indian Express reported on September 14 quoting a report of The New Yorker magazine. Former Afghanistan intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh told the magazine’ writer Dexter Filkins, that an ISI operative Syed Akbar Sabir had escorted Osama from the Pakistani region of Chitral to Peshawar, passing through Kunar Province, in Afghanistan, along the way. “We believed that he was part of the ISI operation to care for Osama,” Saleh, who directed the Afghan intelligence service from 2004 to 2010, said. He said the ISI operative had been arrested by Afghan intelligence in 2005. The article talks about another ISI agent Fida Muhammad, who too had been arrested by Afghan intelligence agents. Muhammad said his most memorable job came in December, 2001, when he was part of a large ISI operation intended to help jihadi fighters escape from Tora Bora — the mountainous region where Osama was trapped for several weeks, until he mysteriously slipped away.

Times of India quoting the report of The New Yorker magazine said that the order to kill Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad came from the Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani's staff, on the suspicion that Indian intelligence tried to recruit him. When Shahzad attended a conference in New Delhi last year, "officers from an Indian intelligence agency offered to put him on a retainer", The New Yorker reported, quoting Roger van Zwanenberg, the publisher of Pluto Press, London, which published Shahzad's book on terrorism recently. ISI officials become convinced that Shahzad was working for a foreign intelligence agency. This could have elevated him in the eyes of the military from a troublesome reporter who deserved a beating to a foreign agent who needed to be killed," the article said. The initial order was to harm him but it was changed at the last moment to kill him, the magazine said. "Reliable intelligence indicates that the order to kill Shahzad came from a senior officer on General Kayani's staff. The officer made it clear that he was speaking on behalf of Kayani himself," the article added.

According to National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) sources, at least one cadre each from NSCN-K and United National Liberation Front (UNLF) were killed as their camps were heavily attacked by the Myanmar Army in Sagaing division on September 14, reports The Telegraph. “Myanmar military has carried out a midnight attack on NSCN and UNLF camps in northern Sagaing division last night,” envoy to the collective leadership of NSCN-K Kughalu Mulatonu told The Telegraph over phone from his hideout. He said at least three army personnel were killed. “Casualty would be high on the Myanmar military side,” he claimed. He said S.S. Khaplang, chairman of the NSCN-K, is still safe at his council headquarters, heavily guarded by his cadres. Mulatonu said it would take time for the military to attack Khaplang’s headquarters but in anticipation of assault the Naga outfit has also mobilised cadres in the area. He said, in June the Government of India supplied over 60 truckloads of arms and ammunition to Myanmar. The shipment of arms and ammunition were transported to Manipur. He said the Nagas may lose the battle this time but not the war. NSCN-K sources said there had been heavy mobilisation of Myanmar army in divisional headquarters in Khamfi, Namjung and Mytkhina.

A total of 323 militants were killed from 1998 to 2002 when LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfits launched a series of suicide attacks on military and police installations. The four-year period coincided with eruption of Kargil war when the influx of Pakistani militants affiliated to LeT and JeM increased into the state. The number of Pakistani militants killed in the State declined after 9/11 terror strikes in the US, apparently due to the pressure exerted by Washington on Islamabad to curb militant activities on its soil. The data showed 127 identified Pakistani militants were liquidated from January 2003 to December 2004. The lowest number of Pakistani militants, 103, were killed between January 2005 and December 2009, it said. 16 militants from the neighbouring country were eliminated in the first four months of 2010. The data gave names and residential details of the killed militants who had come from Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi and Peshawar and other Pakistani cities.

And we have made very little progress in that area,” Panetta told reporters flying with him to San Francisco. He added, “I think the message they (the Pakistanis) need to know is: we’re going to do everything we can to defend our forces.” He declined to answer questions about what steps the United States might take to defend US forces. But Panetta said he was concerned about the Haqqanis’ ability to attack American troops and then “escape back into what is a safe haven in Pakistan.” “And that’s unacceptable,” Panetta said.

The Federal Government on September 14 decided not to give Police powers to Rangers in Karachi on a permanent basis and to retain the prevailing arrangement under which the paramilitary force enjoys special powers of search and arrest for three months, reports Dawn. “It has been decided that Rangers will not have police powers on a permanent basis,” President’s Spokesman Farhatullah.

Army on September 15 said surveillance grid along the Line of Control (LoC) has been strengthened to counter a possible spurt in infiltration of militants from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) ahead of winter snowfall in the Valley, according to Daily Excelsior. "The surveillance grid has been strengthened to foil any attempt by militants to cross over to this side," said General Officer Commanding of Srinagar-based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain. Further, he made it clear that foreign militants operating in Kashmir won't be given any offer of surrender during encounters. He said, "Foreign militants won't be offered to surrender during encounters. We didn't ask LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] ‘commander’ Abdullah Uni to surrender two days back in Sopore. As soon we received information about his presence it was decided he has to be killed. Army doesn't offer foreign militants to surrender." "After the killing of more than 35 of its commanders, LeT is trying to send reinforcement to the Valley and more than 400 militants are ready to infiltrate," he added. Gen Hasnain claimed that 500 Kashmiri youths, who had gone to the other side of LoC for arms training in early 1990's are languishing in Pakistani jails.

Describing Left wing extremism as the “most violent movement” in the country, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram maintained during a conference of Directors-General of Police and Inspectors-General of Police (DGP and IGP) in New Delhi on September 15 that dealing with it was a “shared responsibility” of the Centre and the States, reports The Hindu. He added, “Although the number of incidents and the number of casualties seem to indicate a decrease in the level of violence, this is largely attributable to the changed situation in West Bengal. I regret to point out that there is no significant decline in violence in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Orissa. Even in West Bengal, there are reports that the State unit has been instructed by the CPI (Maoist) to develop guerrilla bases in Jangalmahal and to intensify the conflict. The CPI (Maoist) has added at least four companies to the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army and its goal remains seizure of power through an armed liberation struggle

Stating that India requires a comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy, Home Minister P Chidambaram on September 15 said that he hoped to secure a Government decision on setting up the long-pending National Counter-Terrorism Centre to help tackle multiple threats including home grown terror, according to The Times of India. Speaking to State Police Chiefs and intelligence officials in a conference in New Delhi, Chidambaram said the two recent bomb blasts in Mumbai and Delhi are a "blot" on the Government's record. Chidambaram said terrorist groups based in Pakistan continued to target India, but Indian modules were a reality as were groups that espouse the cause of right-wing religious fundamentalism or separatism. Many of them, he said, have acquired the capacity to make bombs. On the crucial aspect of capacity building to tackle terrorism, he said the most important "unfinished agenda" is NCTC. "I hope to secure a government decision on setting up the NCTC. Once there is a decision, I am confident the core team of NCTC can be installed within 60 days and the full structure can be put together within 12-18 months." Pointing to the wide arc of threats India needs to deal with, Chidambaram said: "There is no let up in attempts to infiltrate from across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Besides, there are attempts to infiltrate terrorists via Nepal and Bangladesh into India as well as find a safe transit route from Sri Lanka to Tamil Nadu." Referring to the threat of Hindutva (right wing militant Hindu extremist) groups, the Home Minister said: "There are other Indian modules that espouse the cause of right-wing religious fundamentalism or separatism. Many of these modules have acquired the capacity to make bombs." He added that no country in the world, including the United States, appears to be entirely immune to the threat of terror, the worst-affected being Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. While listing out the steps taken by the government to build capacity to deal with all kinds of threats after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, he said, "Have we done enough to build capacity since the Mumbai terror attacks? The answer is yes and no.....we have not done enough...there are still over 5,00,000 vacancies in state police forces." He also asked Police forces across the country to revisit the standard operating procedures in dealing with public protests and use only non-lethal methods to control civil disturbances, including stone pelting.

In Manipur, a united front of seven Meitei underground groups has been formed. Therefore, a large presence of SFs in the North eastern States is a necessity to deal with both the threat of violence and the cases of extortion”.

Al Qaeda’s chief of operations in Pakistan Abu Hafs al-Shahri has been killed, a senior US official said on condition of anonymity, reports Daily Times. The death of Abu Hafs in Waziristan follows the killing of al Qaeda’s number two Atiyah abd al-Rahman in August. “It has been confirmed that al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed earlier this week in Waziristan in Pakistan,” the official said. “Abu Hafs’ death will further degrade al Qaeda’s ability to recover from the death last month of al Qaeda’s number two, Atiyah, because of his operations experience and connections within the group.” “Abu Hafs’ death removes a key threat inside Pakistan, where he collaborated closely with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan to conduct coordinated attacks.”

Pakistan's border region remains the most dangerous place in the world and Federally Administered Tribal Areas remains epicentre of the world's worst of global jihad, said Michael Vickers, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence said, reports Times of India. "Pakistan's FATA remain the epicentre - the "Star Wars Bar," if you will - of the world's worst of global jihad," said Michael Vickers. "The continued presence of groups, like TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan), the Haqqani Network, and the Commander Nazir Group who provide al Qaida with safe haven and make common cause with it ensures that the FATA will almost certainly remain a principal area of US counterterrorism focus well after core al-Qaida is dismantled and ejected from the region," Vickers said at a conference at the National Defense University.

It is to be noted that ULFA militants have been grouped into four battalions - the 27th battalion in central Assam, the 28 battalion in upper Assam, 107 battalion in Garo Hills and 709 battalion in lower Assam.

The explosion took place at the waiting room near the reception of the hospital. The place is barely 2.5 kilometres from high-security Taj Mahal. Forensic experts have recovered pieces of wire and a battery from the blast site, confirming the use of an IED.

The condition of the wires and the battery suggested that the explosive was put together loosely. Agra Police said that it was a low intensity blast.

The Interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir on September 17 made a fresh offer to the separatists for talks and said it was ready for a dialogue even at this hour, according to PTI. The interlocutors, however, said non-engagement of separatists will not make any difference to the final report to be submitted to the Centre. The report is expected to be submitted before October 12 when the panel's term comes to an end. "We reiterate that even at this hour if there is any sign that we get from the separatists that they wish to talk to us, we shall be pleased to do so anywhere, anytime and under any condition," Dileep Padgaonkar, the Chief Interlocutor said. "Will the fact that they (separatists) did not engage with us, make a big difference to the report? The answer is no. It won't. Because we have a fair idea what the factions of Hurriyat Conference and separatists stand for," he said when asked whether the absence of the separatists will have an impact on the team's report. Asserting that no political solution to the Kashmir problem was possible till aspirations of people in all three regions of the state were addressed, Padgaonkar said they would not look for a resolution from the prism of any region or community.

Cameron Munter, the US Ambassador in Islamabad, on September 17 said in remarks broadcast that there is evidence linking the Haqqani insurgent network to the Pakistani government, a charge that could raise tensions in an already strained anti-terror alliance between Washington and Islamabad, reports Daily Times. The US and NATO blame the Haqqani network for many of the attacks in Afghanistan, including this week’s strike on the US Embassy. US officials say they are looking for evidence that directly links elements of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to the assault on the US Embassy and coalition headquarters in Kabul on September 13, a sign of just how rancorous relations have become between the two allies in the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban. “The attack that took place in Kabul a few days ago, that was the work of the Haqqani Network,” Munter said during the interview. “And the facts, that we have said in the past, (is) that there are problems, there is evidence linking the Haqqani network to the Pakistan government. This is something that must stop.” Neither the ISI nor the Pakistani military, of which the spy agency is part, immediately responded to the US suspicions. Pakistani Government officials dismissed the suspicions as insulting and unfair. A senior US defence official said that given the ISI’s history of supporting and sheltering the Haqqanis, it was “almost reflexive” to see if the spy agency had any role in the latest Kabul siege.

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Balochistan chapter, on September 17, expressed its serious concern over the increasing number of decomposed bodies of missing persons being recovered from different parts of Balochistan, reports Daily Times. HRCP Quetta chapter Chairman Tahir Hussain and Advocate Zahoor Shahwani, while addressing a news conference, said that situation was going from bad to worse in the province, as security personnel themselves were not secure from attacks. They said that most of the people did not come forward to record their statements out of fear. “The hoardings displayed in Hindu dominated areas of the province demanding security for members of the community reflect the state of lawlessness and prevailing sense of fear,” they told the reporters. They said the number of mutilated dead bodies of missing persons was increasing with each passing day. “Around 188 decomposed dead bodies have so far been dumped in desolate places in different parts of Balochistan since June 4, 2010,” they said, adding, “Most of the victims were political opponents, students and cream of the society.” Quoting a report, they said that those lawyers who appeared before courts in connection with the cases of missing persons were also killed.

Soldiers battled TTP militants in an attempt to seize precious debris from a suspected US drone that crashed at Jangara village in the South Waziristan Agency near the Afghanistan border. TTP claimed that they shot down the unmanned aircraft, which crashed in the night of September 17 near Jangara village. However, a security official in Peshawar said that the American drone crashed in Zangara village, apparently because of some technical faults. A search operation is continuing to recover the debris, security official added, saying that a group of terrorists fired on troops during the search operation but fled after retaliatory fire. “We have no reports of loss of life on both sides,” he added.

The Haqqani network, one of the most feared militant groups in Afghanistan, would take part in peace talks with the Kabul Government and the United States only if the Taliban did, Haqqani network Chief Sirajuddin Haqqani told Reuters on September 17, reports Dawn. The Haqqanis technically fall under the command of the Taliban leader Mullah Omar, although US officials believe they can act independently. The group has become so confident after battlefield gains, that it no longer has sanctuaries in Pakistan, and instead felt secure inside Afghanistan, said Sirajuddin Haqqani in the interview by telephone from an undisclosed location. In what Sirajuddin described as a further sign of strength, the Haqqanis are also consolidating their hold on eastern Afghanistan, forcing rival groups out of territory they have claimed. Sirajuddin Haqqani is described by US forces in Afghanistan as one of their most lethal enemies. The United States has posted a bounty of up to USD five million for Sirajuddin Haqqani. The Sirajuddin Haqqani rejected several peace gestures from the United States and President Hamid Karzai’s Government in the past because they were an attempt to “create divisions” between militant groups, he said. Any further efforts to do so would fail, added Sirajuddin, son of Jalaluddin Haqqani. Although he is still revered by militants, ill health forced Jalaluddin to pass on leadership of the group to Sirajuddin, who is seen as far more ruthless. “They offered us very very important positions but we rejected and told them they would not succeed in their nefarious designs. They wanted to divide us,” said Sirajuddin Haqqani. “We would support whatever solution our Shura members suggest for the future of Afghanistan,” he said, referring to the Afghan Taliban leadership.

A modernized Mine Protected Vehicle for India (MPV-I) was handed over to Jharkhand Police. Additional Director General, of Jharkhand Police, BB Pradhan received the anti-landmine vehicle of behalf of the State Police, The Pioneer reports. The vehicle is the first out of six to be handed over to the State police. The vehicle is much better than the current anti-landmine vehicle being used by the Police. There are many additional features that this vehicle has. It is more resistant and can face attacks of a higher intensity. The MPV-I's protective shell comes from Sweden and is built into a monocoque body, using kits that come from South Africa. The 230 Horse Power (HP) engine and chassis are from Russian ‘Ural’ trucks manufactured at Haldia, West Bengal, which significantly reduces the vehicle's price," the official said.

Concerned over repeated infiltration attempts, the Centre has directed Security Forces (SFs) to intensify vigil along the border and take necessary steps to foil any attempt by Pakistan-based elements to push terrorists into India, reports Daily Excelsior. Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) officials said at least 60 infiltration bids have taken place along the border in Jammu and Kashmir till August 2011 and apprehend that such attempts will intensify in the coming days till the onset of winter. Besides, intelligence reports also suggested that around 2,500 terrorists are active in training camps and launching pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and some other areas in Pakistan and all of them were primarily trained to infiltrate into India. According to the Home Ministry estimate, infiltration attempts have shown a marginal increase during 2010 in comparison to 2009. While there were 489 infiltration attempts in 2010, there were 485 such attempts in 2009. Also, there has been an increase in incidents of ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC). At least 23 incidents of ceasefire violation have been reported along the LoC till August 2011. There were 77 ceasefire violations in 2008 which came down to 28 in 2009 but further increased to 44 in 2010.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), which is undertaking anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] operations in central India, has offered accommodation and protection to local Government functionaries in its camps so that they can carry out development activities "without fear or lack of facility", reports Hindustan Times. The CRPF Director General K Vijay Kumar said the force can accommodate ground-level officers in States like Chattisgarh, particularly in Bastar region, which is one of the most backward Naxal-hit areas. "Many places in Maoist-affected regions don't have facilities for village functionaries like doctors, teachers, health workers and panchayat officials. We are willing to offer space and security to them in our camps, where they can stay and carry out work," Kumar told HT on the sidelines of a conference on improvement of development activities in Naxal-hit areas last week. There are 55 CRPF battalions operating in Naxal-hit states, based in 275 camps, apart from Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and Border Security Force (BSF), Kumar said.

Times of India reports that according to intelligence agencies, contractors are often forced to suspend work due to the fear of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Gadchiroli District. "Road and bridge construction work was discontinued at several places after rebels cracked the whip. Pay up or pack up is the unwritten norm," said a security source. Work on a mining project in Gadchiroli was discontinued after Maoists demanded that the work be stopped. Sources said Maoists threatened the company of dire consequences even after a section of the Maoists accepted substantial amounts from project officials. Tendu contractors too have to cough up sizeable sums for collecting the leaves, meant for bidi industry, from the forests in Gadchiroli. "Every contractor of tendu leaves had to pay Rs five lakh to the Naxals in 2011," said a reliable source.

General Officer Commanding (GOC, 16 Corps) Lieutenant General J. P. Nehra on September 19 said that infiltration attempts have increased during the past few months, reports Daily Excelsior. He said, "During the past one and half months, infiltration attempts have been increasing in the area of White Knight Corps but each and every attempt was foiled by the alert and vigilant troops.” "No, there was no attack by Pakistani troops on Indian forward post to capture it along the Line of Control [LoC]. There was only an incident of firing and the same was repulsed effectively", he said in response to a question, adding "due to retaliation by our troops, they (Pakistani troops) suffered damages". In response to another question, he said, "Winter or summer doesn't make much difference as far as White Knights area of responsibility is concerned. In some areas, militants do change their tactics during winter but we have our strategy in place and Army with the assistance of Police and local administration would continue to foil their nefarious designs." Regarding number of terror camps, militants in Pakistan and PoK, he said, "The terrorist camps were never de-activated across the fence but the figure keeps varying. As per the latest inputs from the intelligence agencies, there are about 42 camps opposite the area of responsibility of White Knight Corps and the number of militants may be between 250 to 500." "Though there is no specific information regarding fresh recruitment yet continuous attempts are being made," he further said. He also added, "Pakistan has become an epicenter of global terrorism and failed to tackle growing extremism on its own soil", he further said, adding "while Pakistan is an epicenter of the global terror, it is a key ally of the US on war against terrorism." "It is a partner in the war to tackle terror in other countries like Afghanistan but has failed to tackle growing terror on its own soil," he stated.

A recent concept paper on Naxalite (Left-Wing Extremist) movement prepared by the Union Rural Development Ministry says Naxalites are dead against construction of roads and empowering women self-help groups (SHGs) while they rarely derail other flagship development schemes of the Government, reports India Today. Construction of good roads means making the affected zones accessible to Police and that is why the rebels are "resolutely opposed to it". "They have also prohibited formation of SHGs under the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) for the possible reason that they (Maoists) are unable to act against women groups and their own organisation gets undermined," the paper said. In case of the roads, however, contractors in some places have managed to get their way by payment of a "percentage" of the cost as levy. "There are also instances where the Naxalites have buried explosives below the roads to be used for detonation at the time of police movement," the paper points out. In particular, the rebels have displayed an attitude of "tolerance" towards Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and extension of social security benefits.

Indian Express reports that Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on September 21 made a fresh offer to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), saying the Government is ready to talk to them if they simply suspend violence. “You don’t have to lay down arms. You don’t have to surrender. You don’t have to disband your outfits. You don’t have to give up your ideology either. You just suspend violence and come forward for talks. The chief minister of West Bengal has invited you for talks. So have other chief ministers of states affected by Naxalism. I, on behalf of the government of India, have also made this offer,’’ the Home Minister said at a special session organised by the Bharat Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata. At the same time, Chidambaram said there was no substitute to the use of force when development took a battering because of violence. “For development you will have to send a doctor, a nurse, a contractor or some other officials. But if the law and order situation is not conducive for sending such people, the security forces will have to be sent to regain control. There is no other alternative to such strategy,’’ he said. The Home Minister said Naxalism (Left-Wing Extremism) was a bigger threat than terrorism so far as killings are concerned. “Terrorism is also a big challenge but the killings by Naxalites is 10 times more than terrorist killings,’’ he said. He lamented that the police-people ratio in India was the worst and at places, it was 80 per 100,000 people.

The conspiracy to carry out the September 7 bomb blast at the Delhi high court was hatched in Nepal by the militant Islamist outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), according to an intelligence input generated in Kolkata (in West Bengal), The Hindustan Times reported. Information to that effect was received from Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), a central armed Police force deployed on the borders with Nepal and Bhutan, officials said. The local branch of Intelligence Bureau had sent the message to the West Bengal Police. According to the report, five Bangladeshi nationals, members of Al-Islami-Jehad — the Nepal chapter of HuJI — had sneaked into India from Nepal and executed the blast. Al-Islami-Jehad has its headquarters in Nepalgunj town of Nepal and the men had been living in Nepal for the last 10 years. After the strike, two persons escaped to Gandhinagar in Gujarat and the rest came to West Bengal. Two members of the module were identified as Mohammed Atta-Ul-Rehman (32) and Maulana Saiful Seikh (40), originally from Rangpur and Sylhet in Bangladesh.

The Interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir said that despite a lot of improvement over the past one year, the situation in the State is still fragile and it needs to be consolidated. Chief Interlocutor Dileep Padgaonkar said that there has been improvement in the situation as the level of violence has gone down. "Our emphasis has been on the political solution as there is a sense of victimhood in all three regions of the State. Though we have tried to address the political aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, our main focus was on a permanent political settlement of issue within the framework of Indian Constitution,” he added. He asserted that any solution outside the purview of the Indian constitution is not acceptable to the other regions of the State. "It was during our term of office we have met as much as 700 delegations, 5000 people and held three round table conferences in the State. We have taken everyone's view into account in our report," he added. He also said the team will submit its report to Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram before October 12, adds The Hindu. “This is our last official visit to the State before we hand over our recommendations which will happen by October 12. The recommendations will be unanimous,” he said. The team had met political parties and other stakeholders at the State-level and in all 22 Districts of Jammu and Kashmir. “These interactions will be reflected in the final report,” he said. Asked if the interlocutors had shut the doors on separatists by maintaining that solution has to be within the Constitution, Padgaonkar said, “A solution outside Union of India is not acceptable to even people from certain regions and sub-regions of the State, let alone the people of rest of the country.”

Accusing Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of using the Haqqani network to carry out a “proxy war”, US on September 21 warned Islamabad to cut ties with the terror group and help eliminate its leaders or it will act unilaterally, reports Indian Express. The US administration has indicated that the US will act unilaterally if Pakistan does not comply, The Washington Post reported. Quoting officials, the paper said the message was delivered in high-level meetings and public statements over the past several days reflecting Washington’s view that the year-long strategy of using persuasion and military assistance to influence Pakistan’s behaviour has been ineffective. Meanwhile, a US Senate committee voted to make economic and security aid to Pakistan conditional on its cooperation in fighting militants. The Senate committee did not specify any amount for economic aid to Pakistan for fiscal 2012, leaving it up to the Obama administration to set the level and notify Congress -- or provide nothing at all. If the administration wants to provide zero, that'd be OK with us, said Republican Senator Mark Kirk, one of the more vocal critics of Pakistan on the panel. The committee did approve USD 1 billion for the Pakistan Counter-insurgency Capability Fund, which was created in 2009 to help Pakistan's military develop counter-insurgency capabilities to fight Islamist militants within its borders. But the committee voted to make this aid, as well as any economic aid that is provided, conditional on Pakistan's cooperating with Washington against several militant groups. The restrictions were part of a foreign aid bill that the committee approved and sent to the Senate floor. It will have to be reconciled with the House of Representatives, where lawmakers in one subcommittee have voted similar restrictions. Pakistan also gets US military aid via the Pentagon budget. But Washington is already withholding USD 800 million of that aid this year as ties have come under mounting strain. Washington has allocated about USD 20 billion for Pakistan over the last decade. In fiscal 2010, Congress approved USD 1.7 billion for economic aid for Pakistan, and USD 2.7 billion in security aid, the Congressional Research Service says.

According to The Statesman, with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) recapturing their lost ground in Jungle Mahal area (West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura Districts), senior Public Works Department (PWD) officials at Writers’ Building (State Secretariat) are apprehending trouble in implementing projects that are a part of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Jungle Mahal package. The department has 22 bridge and road projects that are to be implemented in West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia Districts. The total estimated cost of these projects is INR 968.9 million. This year, a sum of INR 441.3 million is expected to flow for the project, while INR 199.9 million was already released in the last financial year. “We are not sure that the projects can be implemented without any resistance from the ultras,” the official said. Not a single construction agency has responded to the first “Notice Inviting Tenders (NIT)” for executing two major bridge construction projects in Junglemahal because of Maoist threat.

After Assam, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has entered neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh and is starting a campaign against the hundreds of hydel projects that are being planned in the State, which has a high potential for hydro power, reports The Times of India. The presence of the Maoists in the State came to light when Arunachal Pradesh Police, jointly with the Army and Assam Police, arrested as many as nine Maoists from Lohit District. The revelation has come as surprise for Security Forces (SFs), who had arrested these people in connection with an arms-and-cash loot case that was believed to have been pulled off by United Liberation Front Asom (ULFA) cadres. "What we found was that these nine persons were earlier engaged by Ulfa as carriers of food, information, medicine and men. But the interrogation revealed that they are members of a Maoist organization called Upper Assam Leading Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). The arrested are all from Tinsukia in Assam," the source said. "They have already set up a network in Arunachal Pradesh, mainly in Dibang valley district bordering China. Their agenda is to provoke the locals against the power projects that have been proposed in the district. They are working over ground as anti-dam activists," the source said. Some of the biggest hydel power projects have been proposed in the Dibang valley. The construction of these projects, however, has not yet been started. What is more worrying for the security forces is that this Maoist organization enjoys the backing of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) in Tirap District of Arunachal, bordering northern Nagaland, and also has good rapport with the Paresh Baruah faction of ULFA.

The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) Admiral Mike Mullen on September 22 accused Pakistan of “exporting” violent extremism to Afghanistan by backing militants that attack American and NATO troops, reports Daily Times. He said Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) was actively supporting Haqqani network militants blamed for an assault on the US embassy in Kabul on September 13. “The Haqqani network, for one, acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency,” Mullen told the US Senate Armed Services Committee. “In choosing to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy, the government of Pakistan - and most especially the Pakistani Army and ISI - jeopardises not only the prospect of our strategic partnership, but also Pakistan’s opportunity to be a respected nation with legitimate regional influence,” he said. “By exporting violence, they have eroded their internal security and their position in the region. They have undermined their international credibility and threatened their economic well-being”, he added.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar on September 24 said that the United States must not make someone a scapegoat if its goals are not achieved, reports Daily Times. There are red lines and rules of engagement with America, which should not be broken, she told a private TV channel in New York. The Foreign Minister warned the United States against sending ground troops to fight an Afghan militant group blamed for attacks in Afghanistan. “It opens all kinds of doors and all kinds of options,” she said. The comment was in response to a question about the possibility of US troops coming to Pakistan. Khar, however, insisted that Pakistan’s policy was to seek a more intensive engagement with the US and that she would like to discourage any blame game. “If many of your goals are not achieved, you do not make someone a scapegoat,” she said, addressing the US. Further, Khar also made a strong plea for resolving the two “oldest unresolved disputes on the UN agenda “Kashmir and Palestine to enable the struggling peoples of those lands exercise their right to self-determination.” “We are meeting here at a time when the Palestinian aspirations for a national homeland appear to be entering a decisive phase,” she said. On Kashmir, Khar said the prospect of a lasting peace in South Asia was directly linked with a just and durable solution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Pakistan had repeatedly underlined this fundamental reality in its engagement with India.

Poverty and fear of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have forced most girls in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) into joining seminaries, says a Human Rights Commission of Pakistan report on September 24, reports Dawn. The report compiled by HRCP Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter for the year 2009-10 and seen by Dawn discussed the status of women rights and problems in the restive tribal region bordering Afghanistan. It said corporal punishment was common in seminaries for girls without let or hindrance. The report said insecurity was the major concern of FATA women from religious minorities. It warned that religious extremism might increase as the TTP had banned formal education for girls in the tribal areas. According to the report, militancy has led to closure of primary, community and Maktab schools in FATA. It said the disaster management body and directorate of education Fata put the number of educational institutions blown up in tribal areas by the TTP at 440 but the Government had the record of only 330 of them. It added that rehabilitation or reconstruction of the damaged educational institutions had yet to be begun due to lack of access to the conflict-hit areas they were located in. The report said not a single girl got admission to 9th class in Bajaur, FR Kohat and FR Lakki Marwat during 2009-10 due to TTP threats, while degrees colleges of Bajaur, FR Lakki Marwat and FR Peshawar reported no admission by girls during the said period on the same grounds. Some 120,000 female students in FATA were forced to quit schools due to TTP threats, report added. Declaring health facilities for women the second most militancy-affected sector in tribal areas, the HRCP report said almost 80 hospitals were hit by the TTP militancy and military operations against them. “Gynaecologists and nurses have refused to serve in health facilities. There are 13 sanctioned posts of gynaecologists for tribal areas but 10 are lying vacant. “Also, female health staff is reluctant to perform duty in the restive region due to growing militancy.”

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani on September 24 said that confusion prevailed within the US establishment on the way forward in Afghanistan, reports Daily Times. Rejecting the assertions of complicity with the Haqqanis or of proxy war, the Prime Minister said that it would only benefit the enemies of peace. “Blame-game is self-defeating. We strongly reject assertions of complicity with the Haqqanis or of proxy war. It will only benefit the enemies of peace,” the Prime Minister said in a policy statement during a briefing on floods in Pakistan for diplomats and international organisations. “Only terrorists and militants will gain from any fissures and divisions. Pakistan’s credentials and sacrifices in the counter-terrorism campaign are impeccable and unquestionable,” he said. He said the propaganda blitz against Pakistan was indeed most unfortunate, adding, it vitiates the atmosphere and is counter productive. “It tends to ignore the sacrifices by the people of Pakistan and negates all that we have endeavoured to achieve over the last so many years.”

The Shillong Times reports that outgoing Director General of Police (DGP) K Saleem Ali said the insurgency is still a major challenge when it comes to internal security in Tripura though it suffered a lot during the past few years. DGP further said that All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), one of the frontline insurgent groups is on the brink of collapse as its archrival National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) had snatched away almost all weapons, according to intelligence inputs and the morale of NLFT is also very low as its cadre strength has scaled down to 100-120. However, the DGP warned that they (NLFT) are desperately trying to boost the strength by recruiting new guys during the winter keeping in mind of the next Assembly election slated for 2013. Saleem Ali further said, “We have credential inputs about the existence of around 20 hideouts in Bangladesh in spite of their efforts to flush out insurgents holed up in their soil.

Afghan defence officials on September 25 warned Pakistan to stop firing rockets and heavy artillery into northeast of the country or the military will respond with force, reports Daily Times. Pakistani Security Forces have fired 300 rockets into Kunar and Nuristan provinces during the past five days forcing hundreds to flee their homes, the Afghan officials alleged. Afghan Interior Ministry Spokesman Siddiq Siddiqui did not specify who was behind the cross-border shelling but added: “We call on Pakistan, whoever is behind the attacks, to prevent it immediately.” He said more than 300 rockets had been fired into Afghanistan in recent days, mostly in villages and farmland in the Kunar and Nuristan provinces. The Ministry said an unknown number of Afghan civilians have been killed by the shelling coming from Pakistani territory.

Pakistan, which used every "legal and illegal" means to go nuclear, shared its secret atomic technology and equipment with countries like Iran and Libya, says an undated ISI report obtained and released by the Fox News on September 25, based on Nuclear scientist A Q Khan's questioning, which was circulated among western intelligence agencies, reports Times of India. "It is most unfortunate that these things (transfer of nuclear technology) happened due to the peculiar nature of the circumstances and loose arrangements in those early days and because of the personal obligations of previous governments to these countries," says the undated ISI report. The report was circulated to western intelligence agencies after Pakistan refused to produce Khan for questioning, the news channel said. However, the report has no reference to North Korea, which the western countries say was also a recipient of the clandestine nuclear technology from Pakistan. In the report, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) also conceded that Pakistan used every legal and illegal means to obtain nuclear technology and establish the plant to make atomic weapons in the country. "When the (atomic research) organisation was set up in mid 1976, a free hand was given to the project director to acquire each and everything through any means," it said. "There was a direct and imminent threat to Pakistan's security and existence in the wake of the dismemberment of the country in 1971 and after the Indian nuclear test in 1974," it said. General Ziaul Haq, the then Pakistan President, had openly proclaimed that "beg, borrow or steal" was the policy of the day in the light of the imposition of stringent embargoes and restrictions on any nuclear-related materials and equipment to Pakistan, the ISI said.

He said that Pakistan never blamed the CIA or Afghanistan directly over various attacks in the Mohmand Agency or other areas and even the Afghanistan Interior Minister was contacted for resolving the issue. The Interior Minister said that the nation had confidence in the capabilities of the Army and the Government.

Speaking against the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Bagh said that his organisation will not let the programme succeed in the area and threatened with dire consequences if anybody tried to participate.

Even though the Haqqani network is yet to be declared as a foreign terrorist organization, the US has slapped sanctions against several of its leaders, an Obama administration official on September 26, reports Indian Express. Denying reports that the Obama Administration has not slapped sanctions against the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit, State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said Foreign Terrorist Organizations of US Department of State designation of the Haqqani network is under review. "It's important to state that we have carried out a number of Executive Order 13224 designations that target, essentially the kingpins of the Haqqani Network - financiers, leadership, as well as some of its most dangerous operatives," Toner told reporters. "In 2008, we targeted Siraj Haqqani, in 2011 Badruddin Haqqani, Sangeen Zadran in 2011, and on the Treasury side, we designated Nasiruddin Haqqani in 2010, Khalil Haqqani in 2011, Ahmed Jan Zadran in 2011, as well as Fazl Rabi in 2011," he noted.

Pakistan’s Army Chief General Ashfaq Kayani on September 26 scrapped a visit to London as Islamabad refused to bow to mounting US demands for action against al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network holed up in the North Waziristan Agency reports Daily Times. The decision was taken at a special meeting of top commanders on September 25 and is likely to chip away at the deteriorating relationship between the two countries. The commanders vowed to resist US demands for an offensive in North Waziristan but also discussed the possible implications of unilateral action by the US on Pakistani territory, said a military official. “We have already conveyed to the US that Pakistan cannot go beyond what it has already done,” the official said on condition of anonymity. A public acknowledgement by the Army’s chief spokesman Major General Athar Abbas about Pakistan having contact with the Haqqanis also appears to confirm that the security establishment has no intention to go after one of the most feared Afghan insurgent groups. “Any intelligence agency would like to maintain contact with whatever opposition group, whatever terrorist organisation … for some positive outcome,” Major General Athar Abbas told CNN in a telephone interview.

Police on September 26 issued an arrest warrant against Minister for Land Reforms and Management, Prabhu Sah, in connection of the murder of Hindu Yuba Sangh leader Kashi Tiwari. Prabhu Sah belongs to the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M). Tiwari was shot dead on June 27, 2010 at Ashokbatika in Birgunj Municipality allegedly by Sah’s personal secretary Shiyaram Kushawaha and one Aman Kushwaha. In May 2010, Maoists had called an indefinite bandh (general shut down) against the Government led by Madhav Kumar Nepal. Activists of the Hindu Yuva Sangh, then chaired by Tiwari, had then launched an anti-bandh movement, during which they had looted and set fire on food meant for Maoist cadres picketing the strike. A few weeks after the incident, Tiwari was shot dead. However, Minister Sah has claimed that the Police have not issued any arrest warrant against him, reports Nepal News. He claimed that the news report was part of an attempt to defame him and the Maoist party.

According to a study by Bangladesh Enterprise Institute on 'The State of Terrorism in Bangladesh, 2009-10', the militant outfit Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) is slowly gaining ground and is currently the strongest force in anti-state activities in Bangladesh, reports Daily Star. The outfit has been banned here since 2009. “Of all the Islamic outfits, Hizb-ut-Tahrir is currently the biggest threat,” said Colonel T.M. Jobaer, Director of National Security Intelligence (NSI), Bangladesh. He further added, “The organisation is strong because it has a strong international agenda -- it wants to establish a Khilafat in many countries”. Wing Commander Zakir Hassan, Director of the Air Wing of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), said militant activities in the country are “under control”. But he agreed that Hizb-ut-Tahrir is a point of “big concern”. “Their movements are very sophisticated, and their members are highly educated and motivated. They hold high positions in the society. You cannot deal with them in the same way you deal with others,” he commented.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on September 27 asserted that there is a misconception regarding unmarked graves as they are being tagged as mass graves, according to Daily Excelsior. "There are no mass graves as most of the graves have only one person and a few are with two persons but no grave is having more than two persons", he said. Omar said that his Government is ready to perform the DNA profiling of the bodies buried in the unmarked graves in the State. Omar said that some newspaper has reported about 2,500 similar graves in Poonch again attaching the impression of mass graves. "I have examined the records which revealed that 2,136 militants have been killed in Poonch since 1990 of which 2,090 were foreign origin, thus graves would be there but to declare them mass graves of unidentified persons cannot be real reflection of facts", he said adding that wherever militants have been killed by the Security Forces, they were buried as per Islamic rights and their graves exist. The Chief Minister disclosed that the militants from 12 foreign countries including Russia, Chechnya, Sudan, Pakistan, Britain and Afghanistan have been killed in encounters in the State and their graves do exist here. Omar said that it is essential to know facts about these unmarked graves and give answer to every question in this regard. "We have to co-relate the figures. The figures quoted by media, SHRC [State Human Rights Commission] and Government totally differ from one another. The official figure about the civilian killings during the period of militancy is 17,000 while separatists count them in lakhs", he said. "Many people have been killed by militants; many militants have lost their lives during trainings and in other incidents. Recently 14 militants have been killed in encounter in Nazir Gurezi's area and they have been buried there with Islamic rites. Presently we know these were militants and if their graves are found after 20 to 25 years later, the similar questions may arise", the Chief Minister asserted. He maintained that a large number of disappeared persons are living normal life across the border, they have married and are engaged in various economic activities but they still exist as disappeared persons here. He urged both India and Pakistan to jointly form Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to find out answers to questions on various incidents that occurred during the past over two decades of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir. Omar said so many questions and matters pertaining to the unmarked graves can be answered by the formation of this Commission. Omar said the Rehabilitation Policy adopted is aimed at helping the return of the persons who had crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and are now living normal life there. "But our neighbour will not open gates for them to return with wives and children as it wished them to carry guns. However, we are working with Home Ministry to facilitate their return", he said adding that we have received about 900 applications in this regard, of which 100 have been approved. Earlier, widening its investigation to more than 3,800 unmarked graves in Poonch and Rajouri Districts, the SHRC on September 16 had directed the Stated Government to constitute an “independent, duly representative, credible, structured and fully empowered” body to “investigate and identify the people buried in unmarked graves and to prosecute the perpetrators”, reports Indian Express. The SHRC ordered the inquiry after Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) and the International People Tribunal for Human Rights and Justice in Kashmir (IPTK) submitted a rejoinder, listing at least 2,717 graves in 90 graveyards in Poonch and 1,127 graves in 118 cemeteries in Rajouri. APDP and IPTK had first published these findings in 2008 in a report titles ‘Facts Underground’. The SHRC in a report released on August 20 had said that more than 2,000 corpses have been found buried in several unmarked graves, Reuters reported. "At 38 places visited in north Kashmir, there were 2 156 unidentified dead bodies buried in unmarked graves," the inquiry report said.

American congressmen were presented with a bill called the “Pakistan Accountability Act”, introduced by Congressman Ted Poe from Texas, according to The Express Tribune. “This legislation will freeze all US aid to Pakistan with the exception of funds that are designated to help secure nuclear weapons,” says a transcript available on the Congressman’s website. Poe said, “Since the discovery of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan has proven to be disloyal, deceptive and a danger to the US. This so-called ally continues to take billions in US aid, while at the same time supports militants who attack us. The US must immediately freeze all aid to Pakistan. Pakistan has made it painfully obvious that they will continue their policy of duplicity and deceit by pretending to be our ally while simultaneously promoting violent extremism. By continuing to provide aid to Pakistan, we are funding the enemy, endangering Americans and undermining our efforts in the region.”

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani who met the China’s Vice Premier Meng Jianzhu in Islamabad at the PM House termed China as its close friend. “Your friends are our friends, your enemies are our enemies and your security is our security,” Gilani said and added the two countries together can progress and prosper and bring the dividends of development to their people. Meng also held talks with President Asif Ali Zardari and military chiefs. The military said talks focused on the “emerging geo-strategic situation” in the region and said Meng “appreciated” the role played by Pakistan’s armed forces “in the fight against terror” – in stark contrast to US frustrations. “We will work together to contribute to national security and regional stability,” Meng told reporters.

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani warned the United States on September 27 to stop accusing it of playing a double game with militants, and said Washington must correct a perceived tilt towards arch-foe India, reports Daily Times. In an exclusive interview with Reuters, Gilani also said any unilateral military action by the United States to hunt down militants of the Haqqani network inside Pakistan would be a violation of his country’s sovereignty. However, speaking from his office in Islamabad, he side-stepped a string of questions on the tense relations with the United States and offered no indications of any steps Pakistan might take to soothe the current fury in Washington. “The negative messaging, naturally that is disturbing my people,” Gilani said in the interview. “If there is messaging that is not appropriate to our friendship, then naturally it is extremely difficult to convince my public. Therefore they should be sending positive messages.” Asked for his view on why the United States had suddenly ratcheted up its criticism of Pakistan, he implied that it reflected frustration with the war in Afghanistan ahead of a withdrawal of US troops from the country in 2014. “Certainly they expected more results from Afghanistan, which they have not been able to achieve as yet,” he said. “They have not achieved what they visualised.” Rejecting allegations that Islamabad was behind any violence across its border, he said: “It is in the interest of Pakistan to have a stable Afghanistan”. Gilani said Washington should provide the “political space” for his government to convince a sceptical Pakistani public of the value of a relationship with the United States.

Support is growing in the US Congress for expanding American military action in Pakistan beyond drone strikes already used to target militants in Pakistani territory, said Senator Lindsey Graham, a senior Republican senator in US, according to The News. Graham said in an interview on September 27 that US lawmakers might support military options beyond the drone strikes that have been going on for years inside Pakistani territory. Those options may include using US bomber planes within Pakistan. Islamabad will have to understand that Haqqani Network is not only a threat to America but Pakistan too, US Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Grossman said. Emphasizing that Haqqanis are a common adversary, Grossman added that Pak-US amity would endure. The US government is in its "final" review on whether to blacklist the Haqqani network, which it blames for deadly attacks in Afghanistan, as a terror group, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. "We're in the final formal, review that has to be undertaken to make a government-wide decision to designate the network as a foreign terrorist organization," Clinton told reporters.

The Afghan Taliban on September 27 attacked US allegations that Pakistan supported the Haqqani network as a plot to undermine the militant unity, reports Dawn. “America wants to depict the strength of Islamic Emirate as feeble and attribute its attacks to others,” spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in an English-language statement e-mailed to reporters. “The respected Maulawi Jalaluddin Haqqani (the group’s founder) is (one of the) Islamic Emirate’s honourable and dignified personalities and receives all guidance for operations from the leader of the Islamic Emirate,” the statement said, in reference to the Haqqani network’s leader. The Haqqani network is one of three Taliban-allied factions fighting in Afghanistan and perhaps the most feared – they are thought to have introduced suicide bombing to the country and be behind many high-profile attacks. They have sworn allegiance to the Taliban, but have long been suspected of also having ties to Pakistan’s spy agency, the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate.

He was arrested from his home late in the night of September 27. Ibrahim said Ishaq was not charged, but detained under a public order act. Ibrahim said the detention order was ordered to stop Khan making speeches ‘harmful for peace and harmony’. Ishaq was accused in dozens of killings but freed because the Supreme Court decided there wasn’t enough evidence to keep holding him. His case never went to trial.

The US on September 27 rejected reports of disagreement among US officials in Pentagon over Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan, Daily Times reports. A Pentagon spokesman said Defence Secretary Leon Panetta endorsed the view of Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, who told senators last week that Haqqani militants targeting NATO forces were a “veritable arm” of Pakistan’s main intelligence agency. “The secretary and the chairman both agree that there are unacceptable links between elements of the Pakistani Government and the Haqqanis,” press secretary George Little told reporters. Little said there was a “consensus view” in the Pentagon about the links between Pakistan and the Haqqani network, which operates out of sanctuaries in Pakistan. “Everyone here understands there’s a link between elements of the Pakistani government and the Haqqanis,” he said. “At the analytic level, there’s no disagreement,” he added. The Pakistani elements backing the Haqqani network “include the ISI [Inter Services intelligence]” spy agency, he said.
