In continuing crackdown on terrorist outfits, Punjab police on January 1 arrested 100 more terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) from Lahore and other cities in southern Punjab. "Police and security forces in a crackdown on Lashkar-i-Taiba and Jaish-i-Mohammad have picked up around 100 members and leaders of both the parties," said LeT spokesperson Yahya Mujahid. Criticising the crackdown, he said, "We are against all acts of terrorism and we have repeatedly said we are not involved in the December 13 attack on the Indian parliament." Mujahid said the LeT had already halted its activities in Pakistan and shifted its offices to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). "There is no Lashkar setup now in Pakistan," he declared.

10 persons were killed and over 20 others injured as three unidentified terrorists opened fire on a group of approximately 40 persons offering prayers at the Shah Najaf Mosque in Khayaban-e-Sir Syed, Rawalpindi, on February 26. Media sources indicated that no group has thus far claimed responsibility for the suspected sectarian killing. No arrests have been made either in connection with the massacre. Meanwhile, while strongly condemning the massacre, President Pervez Musharraf has directed the Punjab and Federal governments to swiftly undertake a joint investigation and submit a report at the earliest. The President added that groups opposed to the government's policy of countering terrorism are "out to detract it from pursuing it vigorously…Those responsible would be unearthed and given exemplary punishment." Media reports have indicated that it was the first sectarian attack since the January 12-Presidential announcement of a crackdown on Islamist extremism and sectarianism. Separately, Interior Secretary Tasneem Noorani said the massacre was "a very reprehensible attack. This clearly appears to be a sectarian attack. It (sectarianism) has been curbed in the past, but to expect that everything will fall in line is expecting too much." Rawalpindi Range Deputy Inspector-General of Police Fareed Nawaz said the killing appeared to be sectarian motivated and was most probable that the killers had fled to neighbouring Islamabad.

Separately, the Inspector General of Punjab Police, Malik Asif Hayat, said the police had failed to make any positive breakthrough despite passage of 24 hours. Hayat, while terming the incident as terrorism, also claimed that elements associated with banned religious groups within the country as well as from across the border could be involved in the incident. He also said that police were also ascertaining the plausible involvement of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Omar Sheikh’s accomplices, who might be attempting to pressurise the Federal government on the issue of his extradition to the US. There is also a possibility that the veterans of the Afghan Jehad may also have been involved in the incident, he said.

Pakistani police said on February 28 that two outlawed Sunni sectarian groups were likely behind the February 26-massacre at a Shiite mosque in Rawalpindi. "We believe those detained have links with an outlawed terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi," said Punjab police chief Malik Asif Hayat. He said most also had ties with the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi's (LeJ) parent organisation. As reported earlier, two armed men opened indiscriminate fire on Shiite worshippers at the mosque in the northern city of Rawalpindi, killing 11 persons and injuring 14 others. Asif Hayat indicated that LeJ terrorists who had returned from their safe havens in Afghanistan consequent to the fall of Taliban militia are likely to engage in terrorist activities in Pakistan.

Moinuddin Haider, the Interior Minister, told CNN that the grenade attack could be the work of a suicide bomber. "Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack but there is one unidentified body and we are seeing the possibility of that man being involved in this attacks." He said that the police had not found any suspects and that no one had yet claimed responsibility for the attack. Haider indicated that it was likely to be the work of terrorists opposed to the US war on terror and President Musharraf's crackdown on religious extremism. "I guess it is people who want to give a message to the West and those people who are against this war against terrorism and they are perturbed about the very strong policies pursued by President Musharraf on this issue," he said. According to him, the choice of target indicated that the attack was intended to send a message. "There are many churches around Islamabad and Rawalpindi but this one was chosen because many Western countries' diplomats and other people come and have their service here," he said. Lt. Col Masroor of the Special Army Monitoring Team while briefing the Federal Minister for Minorities, S K Tresslor, in Islamabad said, "perhaps the terrorist also died in the attack." Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar said in Lahore that the attack was "another manifestation of extremism on part of some misled people." Asked to comment on whether the attack was the work of proscribed groups, he said that the government had already banned them and seized their accounts and it was not possible for them to retaliate in such a short time. However, Law Minister Khalid Ranjha commenting on the incident said, the involvement of foreign hand cannot be ruled out. Commenting on the attack, US President George W Bush said, "I am outraged by the terrorist attack that took place today in Islamabad, Pakistan against innocent civilians. I strongly condemn them as acts of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience nor justified by any cause."
