An official of the Al Rasheed Trust (ART), an organisation proscribed by the US for its alleged links with terrorists, said, on October 3, it was planning to oppose the decision of United States in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as it claimed it had no links with terrorism. ART's Islamabad office in–charge Mohammad Arshad told Dawn, a Pakistani daily, that it might approach the ICJ for defreezing its accounts. Meanwhile, Pakistani media reports indicated that the ART has approached authorities in Pakistan for defreezing of its accounts, as it claimed that it had not violated any law of the land and also had no connection with terrorists. The ART clarified that it was a ‘purely welfare organization’ rendering welfare services for the common Muslims and abiding by all the government laws, rules and regulations.

Foreign Office spokesperson Riaz Muhammad Khan said, in Islamabad, on October 4, the US provided sufficient evidence against Osama bin Laden to indict him in a court of law. He also indicated that investigations against bin Laden were still continuing and Pakistan expected that the evidence shared with it would be supplemented by additional material. Replying to a question regarding sharing the proof with the international community, he said they had not been requested to share the evidence with anybody. The spokesperson observed that the evidence shared by the US did not contain any reference to the Al Rasheed Trust (ART) whose accounts had been frozen by the government following a determination by the US that the ART, with 26 other organizations, had been a source of funds for bin Laden and his Al Qaeda group. He added that Pakistan had asked the US Administration to provide evidence against the ART, which, it believed, was primarily a charity organization working for the welfare of Afghan refugees.

Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Riaz Muhammad Khan said, in Islamabad, on October 5, that the US had not yet provided any specific operational plan for the impending attack on the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. He added that only those responsible for terrorism should be targeted and care should be exercised to ensure that innocent people did not suffer. He also said that Indian External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh's remark that Pakistan was part of the problem of terrorism and not part of a solution came as ‘no surprise’.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said in Islamabad, on October 7, that Pakistan regretted that all diplomatic efforts to convince the Taliban leadership to respond to the international demand to turn in Osama bin Laden did not succeed resulting in military action being launched against the regime. In a statement, he said Pakistan did whatever it could to convince the Taliban leadership of the gravity of the situation and to take the right decision in the interest of the Afghans. He stated, "It remains our hope that the US and allied action remains clearly targeted to achieve the aims identified by the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and every care will be taken to minimise harm to the Afghan people who have already suffered ravages of conflict for more than two decades…We also hope that the operations will end soon and a concerted international effort will be undertaken to promote national reconciliation and help Afghanistan with economic reconstruction."

India dismissed Pakistan President Parvez Musharraf’s description, at a press conference in Islamabad, on October 8, of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir as ‘freedom struggle’, saying it (India) would resolutely oppose cross-border terrorism being fomented from across the borders. An Eternal Affairs Ministry spokesperson said, "It is not a freedom struggle, Jammu and Kashmir is an integral and inalienable part of India". Reacting to Musharraf’s charge that India was deriving political mileage from the evolving situation in the wake of the September 11-terrorist attacks in the United States, the spokesperson said, "We have not sought to compound Pakistan’s difficulties". The spokesperson added India has been defending its concerns and at no time sought to complicate the situation in Pakistan.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf said, in Islamabad, on October 8, that the US-led military strikes against the Taliban regime would be short and targeted to eliminate the terrorist camps of the Al-Qaeda outfit. According to him, "I am reasonably sure that military action is carefully targeted which is expected to be short and will lead to a political dispensation in Afghanistan." Musharraf, while supporting the air strikes against the Taliban, said the strikes were inevitable and were a consequence of the "unwise policies of the Kabul regime". He also indicated that no airbases of Pakistan were used by the US-led coalition to launch strikes. The President said, "We did provide them airspace, logistics and shared information with them as was earlier promised by Pakistan." Commenting on Osama bin Laden, he observed, "While we are supporting the removal of terrorist camps and removal of Osama bin Laden from Afghanistan, we will continue to make efforts to bring peace to that country and our efforts at this stage will help the international community." On the Kashmir issue, Musharraf said no parallel could be drawn from what was happening in Afghanistan and the "freedom struggle going on in occupied Kashmir." Musharraf indicated that it was not appropriate to seek an assurance from the United States and Britain regarding the implementation of United Nations (UN) resolutions on the Kashmir issue as it was not directly linked to recent developments.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office on October 12 reiterated its stand that US combat troops were not stationed in Pakistan, nor was any operation being undertaken from its soil. Foreign Office spokesperson Riaz Mohammad Khan said in Islamabad, "Pakistan has agreed to give logistic support. The facilities are basically for contingency situation. In case of emergency the flying US planes may need some airstrips."

He also indicated that Pakistan would not play the role of an interlocutor between theTaliban regime and US. Commenting on the countrywide protests against the US air strikes in Afghanistan, Khan said that the situation was normal.

Ziaul Haq was its founding chairman and the Trust had as its aim the organising, repatriation and rehabilitation of stranded Pakistanis from Bangladesh. The clarification was reportedly provided in the wake of a report published in a section of the press on October 14 stating that President Pervez Musharraf was a patron of the Rabita Trust. The spokesperson clarified that the post of Chairman of the trust being an ex-officio position had been with the Prime Minister and after assuming the post of chief executive, Musharraf had became the Chairman of the Trust, but never presided over any of its meetings. He also said that President has ordered an audit of the Trust’s accounts by a private firm to ascertain if its funds were being used for purpose other than the repatriation of stranded Pakistanis from Bangladesh. The Auditor General of Pakistan is also reportedly carrying out an audit of the Trust’s accounts. The spokesperson observed that the Rabita Trust is a bilateral organisation and its governing body comprises equal number of members from the government and Rabita Alam Al-Islami. Rabita Alam Al-Islami had contributed Rs 50 million while the share of the government was Rs 250 million at the time of establishment of the Trust, he added.

The Pakistani Foreign Office spokesperson said in Islamabad on October 24 that the 35 persons killed in US attacks on Kabul had not yet been identified as Pakistanis, but the government would look into the issue if their identity was ascertained as Pakistani. He made these observations at a press briefing amidst reports that Pakistan border guards on the same day had refused to let in the bodies of eight of the 35 Pakistanis killed in US bombing on Kabul. Reports have indicated that these eight were cadres of the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM). According to him, "The question about allowing these dead into Pakistan is a hypothetical question as so far they have not been identified nor have we been approached to allow them in. But if they are identified as Pakistanis then we will look into it. We are not aware of any Pakistanis who have gone into Afghanistan and we are not aware of their numbers nor can I confirm or deny this report."
