The US on April 1 called on Pakistan to curb anti-India militants, praising Islamabad’s recent efforts against extremism but saying it could do more to improve ties with New Delhi, reports Daily Times. Robert Blake, the Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia, held talks in India and Pakistan in late March where he said he voiced support for the recent resumption of dialogue between the long time rivals. Blake hailed the “enormous” progress in Pakistan in fighting extremists, pointing to its offensives against the Taliban in its northwest and recent arrests of militant leaders. “I think one can argue there is a lot of important progress that has been made but we think there also needs to be progress against these Punjab-based groups,” Blake told reporters. He was referring to banned groups such as the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which India holds responsible for a 2008 assault on Mumbai and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), believed to have joined LeT in a 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament.

NWFP Police Chief Malik Naveed on April 9 said that Kala Dhaka is the new base for the Taliban, who fled the Army operation in Swat and other Districts in Malakand in 2009. “It (Kala Dhaka) is creating problems for us,” he expressed concern over the new base of the Swat Taliban who could make a comeback if not contained now. Kala Dhaka is part of Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA) where the Government’s writ has not been established yet as neither a jirga (council) is effective nor do the Levies Force operate there. Further, the Interior Minister Rehman Malik assured the National Assembly that citizens would not be affected by the action against outlaws in Kala Dhaka, a tribal area adjacent to Hazara region. He said the operation would be aimed at eliminating criminals, proclaimed offenders and militants who were hiding there after being pushed out from Swat and Waziristan. Malik said action would be taken against the criminals who have taken refuge in Kala Dhaka area of the Hazara Division.

Daily Times quoting The Washington Post reports that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had set free at least two senior Afghan Taliban militants even as it helped the US detain the Taliban’s second-ranking ‘commander’ in the area. Citing unnamed US officials, The Washington Post said the releases had occurred as the ISI worked with US intelligence operatives to capture Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and other militants. The quiet actions by the ISI were detected by US intelligence agencies but not publicly disclosed, the report said. According to The Washington Post, the US military and intelligence officials said the actions were evidence that parts of Pakistan’s security establishment continued to support the Taliban. The US officials declined to identify the Taliban men who were released because of the secrecy surrounding US monitoring of the ISI, The Washington Post added. In interviews in Islamabad, Pakistani intelligence officials said the ISI is committed to dismantling insurgent groups and denied that any Taliban operatives had been released after being captured. “It is our policy that we will go against these people,” an intelligence official said. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the ISI are “working like this”, he said, clasping his hands together.

A journalist, Muhammad Imran Khan, and his sister were injured on April 14 when unidentified militants made a failed attempt to abduct them from their home in Khar of Bajaur Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Daily Times. Muhammad Imran Khan, a correspondent for a private news agency in Khar, and his 14-year-old sister were injured in the incident. “Around 10 masked militants attacked Imran at home and tried to abduct him. Imran resisted the abduction attempt and that is what saved him from the captivity of the militants,” the family sources said. Imran’s father, Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, was shot dead on May 22, 2008, after returning from an interview with a spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Local journalists believe that the TTP are responsible for the attempted abduction. Meanwhile, the TTP spokesman Azam Tariq told journalists in North Waziristan that the “pro-America” media was spreading wrong information about the Taliban.

The United States Treasury said on April 15 it had imposed sanctions on two "high-profile" Pakistani trust fund chiefs allegedly linked to terrorism, reports Daily Times. The Treasury identified the trust fund chiefs as Muhammed Mazhar, director of Al-Akhtar Trust, and Mufti Abdul Rahim, leader of Al-Rashid Trust, and said both Pakistani charities’ assets under US jurisdiction were frozen. Americans have also been prohibited from engaging in any transactions with them. Mazhar was accused of supporting al Qaeda and the Taliban, while Rahim was charged with funding the Taliban. "Today’s designation of these two high-profile financiers of al Qaeda and the Taliban, who are also leaders of Al-Akhtar Trust and Al-Rashid Trust, further exposes those organisations’ continuing support for terrorism under the guise of charitable activity," said the Treasury.

The United States (US) Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke alleged that the Taliban carry out attacks on US and NATO forces in Afghanistan from their sanctuaries in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Daily Times reported quoting a private television channel on April 21. Holbrooke, talking to the media in Washington, said the US would provide economic development assistance and make sure that the new military equipment was delivered to Pakistan. He said the Taliban insurgency faced by Pakistan “is very dangerous both to them and the US.” The ambassador said the US-Pak bilateral relations had improved since the last 15 months and the strategic dialogue between the two countries was a great step in further strengthening the relationship, which was based on common interests. “Pakistan needs our support to resolve huge economic, energy and water problems and the US is working with the Pakistani government to meet those pressing needs,” Holbrooke said. The representative told the media that the USD 7.5 billion aid package, authorised by the Congress had been finalised and the money would be soon delivered to Pakistan.

The JI chief urged the Government and Army to review their aggressive policies towards the Taliban and to stop the military operation at the western border.

The abductors of two former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials and a British journalist of Pakistani origin are asking for a Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) party leader to play the role of a mediator in negotiations over their demand for the release of key Afghan Taliban leaders in Pakistan, Daily Times reported on April 29. “A spokesman for the group holding the two former ISI officials and the British journalist have asked me to play the role of a middleman in negotiations over their demands in return for the release of these people,” said Javed Ibrahim Paracha – a Kohat-based PML-N leader who also helped secure the release of several Arabs and other foreigners arrested for alleged links with al Qaeda. Former ISI officials Sultan Amir Tarar alias Colonel Imam and Khalid Khawaja and a British journalist of Pakistani origin, Asad Qureshi, were last seen on April 22 in a video released by the abductors, who call themselves the ‘Asian Tigers’, after their disappearance on April 5. The ‘Asian Tigers’, unheard of before these abductions, are demanding “freedom” for arrested Taliban leaders Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Mullah Mansoor Dadullah and Maulvi Kabir in exchange for the release of the former ISI officials. They are also demanding a ransom of USD 10 million to allow the journalist to “walk into the free world”.
