The Election Commission of Pakistan on January 2 delayed the general elections slated for January 8 until February 18, according to The News. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Justice (retd) Qazi Muhammad Farooq, made the announcement at a press conference in Islamabad and appealed to all political parties to accept this decision in the national interest and actively participate in the electoral process. The CEC claimed that keeping in view the ground realities and the task of making preparations again following large-scale rioting, it was impossible for the commission to hold the polls on January 8. He said the elections had been postponed due to the violence and rioting, and also because the month of Muharram was commencing.

The Interior Ministry has warned security agencies that militants of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Taliban are plotting to attack eminent political and religious leaders and religious places in nine cities during Muharram, Daily Times reported. "Yes, we have received these threats," said acting Islamabad police Inspector General Nadeem Baloch. Two intelligence reports received by the ministry said attacks were likely in Islamabad, Peshawar, Bahawalpur, Vehari, Jhang, Hyderabad, Karachi, Dera Ismail Khan and Quetta. A notification by the National Crisis Management Cell of the Interior Ministry said militants would try to attack Muharram processions, Imambargahs and Majalis. The intelligence reports stated that Senator Abid Hussain, Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid ex-MNA from Jhang, Waqas Akram Sheikh, and Allama Sajid Naqvi are likely targets. Three jackets meant for suicide attacks have been delivered to LeJ cadres in Jhang, it added. According to the reports, 300 militants from tribal areas, including local and Afghan Taliban, have been assigned targets and sent to the settled areas.

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) President Shujaat Hussain’s brother Wajahat Hussain and son Shafay Hussain landed at the Islamabad Airport on PIA flight PK-786 on January 24, after British officials allegedly detained and deported them after they had landed at a London Airport from Spain, according to Daily Times. According to sources, the pair was given deported passenger status. The immigration officers offloaded them from the plane and detained them for questioning. Geo News television channel quoted sources as saying that the airport officials had doubts that the two detainees might have links with the 11 Pakistanis who were arrested in Barcelona a few days ago for their alleged links with terrorists. Wajahat and Shujaat’s son came to London to mobilise the Pakistani community ahead of President Pervez Musharraf’s address, according to sources. The British Foreign Office spokeswoman Natasha Khan confirmed the arrests, saying, "Six men were detained at the airport on 22 January and were released on 23 January. We sincerely regret any inconvenience, any distress caused. They are free to return to the UK and their visas have not been affected."

Pakistan Government scrapped its peace deal with the Taliban as militants have reneged on their promise to stop violence, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Interior Affairs Rehman Malik said. "The Swat agreement is scrapped as the militants have [continued] their attacks on security forces," Malik told a group of reporters in Islamabad on June 9. Responding to questions during the National Assembly question hour, Malik said law-enforcement agencies had averted a ‘big tragedy’ after arresting three "students" who were allegedly on a suicide mission in Islamabad on January 8. He said the vehicles seized from them were packed with explosives weighing between 200 and 400 kilograms. Separately, the Tehreek-e-Taliban spokesman Maulvi Umar told ARY TV on June 9 that Taliban would turn cities of settled areas into battlefields if the government scrapped its truce with them.

The Hindu reports that four Pakistani soldiers were killed and three others injured in a clash with a jihadist group on June 19. Speaking to journalists in Islamabad Pakistan army spokesperson Major-General Athar Abbas said the troops died in a clash near the town of Hajira, east of the Line of Control (LoC), in the district of Poonch, with “unknown miscreants.” He offered no explanation of how the fighting had broken out, but confirmed that the soldiers’ deaths were not caused by Indian military action. Highly-placed Indian military sources stationed in the area, however, told that the deaths were most likely the outcome of an accidental clash between Pakistani troops and a jihadist group. A senior army official said the clash began when a group of jihadists trying to infiltrate into the Indian side were fired upon by Indian soldiers forcing them to retreat and run into a Pakistan army patrol. “In the fog of the fighting it is possible the jihadis mistook the Pakistani army troops for an Indian ambush, or the other way around”, he said

After three days of dialogue, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led ruling coalition announced on August 7 that it had decided to impeach President Pervez Musharraf, warning that any move by him to fight back by dissolving Parliament would be rejected by the nation, The Hindu reported. A joint declaration drafted by the PPP and its main ally, the Pakistan Muslim League (N), and accepted by other partners in the coalition, listed the reasons for the move. Read out by PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari in the presence of PML (N) chief and former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, and leaders of the other coalition parties at a press conference in Islamabad, the charges against the retired General Musharraf included his failure to take a vote of confidence from the newly elected parliament despite a commitment he would do so to the Supreme Court at the time of his election from the outgoing parliament in October 2007. It also listed his refusal to quit despite the electoral defeat of his political allies, his failure to address the new parliament and the "incompetence" of his policies that had resulted in an economic crisis. It also accused him of trying to "undermine" the transition to democracy, and of weakening the federation. Zardari also said the judges dismissed by President Musharraf would be reinstated after his impeachment. "We have the votes, we have the political will and the courage to impeach the President," Zardari said.

Prime Minister’s Adviser on Interior Affairs, Rehman Malik, rejected on August 24 a Taliban offer for cease-fire in the tribal areas and said that if the militants were serious about peace talks they should first surrender their arms, according to Dawn. "We will not consider the cease-fire offer until the Taliban renounced recourse to arms," Malik said. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan had earlier declared a unilateral truce and said it was ready to hold talks with the Government if the military operation was halted. Talking to reporters in Islamabad after dispatching a convoy of relief goods for the people displaced from Bajaur Agency, he said that more troops had been sent to intensify the anti-militant operations in which about 550 militants and 16 civilians had so far been killed. Reiterating the Government’s resolve to establish its writ all over the country, Malik said: "We will not back down from our principled decision," he said.

Syed Salahuddin, chairman of the United Jihad Council (UJC), has predicted more Mumbai-like attacks in the near future if India did not review its policy of state terrorism against the minorities and their worship places, The News reported. On December 3, he offered full support of the UJC to Pakistan in the given scenario and said in case of a war, which it believed was out of question, Kashmiri fighters would demonstrate what they were capable of doing with the aggressor. Talking to The News in Islamabad, he claimed that India was trying to conceal its own weaknesses by squarely blaming Pakistan for the Mumbai attacks, which its security apparatus had miserably failed to avert. Salahuddin believed that the attacks in Mumbai were indigenous in nature, as several campaigns of militancy were under way in India, which were to intensify due to its policy of state terrorism in the time to come.

Pakistan's former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Hamid Gul said in Islamabad on December 7 that the United States wants him on a United Nations (UN) list of people and organisations linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban, Dawn reported. Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul told Reuters the US moves against him began several weeks ago. Gul said Pakistani foreign ministry officials had confirmed to him the United States was trying to put him on the UN list. He said he had asked his Government for support, adding “I don't know why America is so much after me.” Lou Fintor, spokesman for the US embassy in Islamabad, said he had no information, and added it was Government policy not to comment until action had been taken either by the UN or the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

According to Daily Times, rejecting Indian claims yet again that there is ‘clear evidence’ suggesting the Mumbai terror attacks originated inside Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday told BBC there is still no conclusive proof. Zardari has earlier pointed out several times that there is still no firm proof that gunmen who attacked Mumbai came from Pakistan. Zardari told BBC in Islamabad that Pakistan was prepared to act if adequate evidence of any Pakistani complicity in the attacks emerged. “If that stage comes, and when it comes, I assure you that our parliament, our democracy shall take the action properly deemed in our constitution and in our law,” he said. Zardari stated claims that the sole surviving attacker had been identified by his father as coming from Pakistan had also not been proven. The president also said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) Hafiz Mohammed Saeed would remain under house arrest. “Let me assure you that if there is any investigation to be found pointing towards his involvement in any form of terrorism, he shall be tried for that reason,” said Zardari.
