Dawn reports that police have traced a network of 19 people suspected of involvement in the July 30, 2004 suicide attack on Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Fateh Jhang, and arrested three brothers belonging to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Jamaatul Furqan outfits. At a press conference in Rawalpindi on January 18, Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Iftikhar Ahmed, identified the three brothers as Nisar Ahmed, Abdul Basit and Abdul Muneem. Amjad Farooqi, who was allegedly involved in an assassination attempt on President General Pervez Musharraf and was killed in a shoot-out with police, is believed to be the mastermind of the attack on Aziz when he was visiting Fateh Jhang in connection with his election campaign. The DIG said that Amjad Farooqi had persuaded Obaid and Irfan, also known as Zeeshan and Shani, to carry out the suicide attack on Aziz. According to the investigation, the DIG said, Obaid and Irfan were opposed to the government's Afghanistan and Iraq policies. Irfan, who carried C-4 explosives wrapped around his waist, was among seven people killed in the suicide attack.

Peshawar Corps Commander, Lt Gen Safdar Hussain, stated in Lahore on March 25 that 48 military operations have been carried out in the length and breadth of South Waziristan and that the possibility of Osama bin Laden being in one of the target areas cannot be ruled out. Christian Science Monitor quoted him as saying that "Last year, thousands of military and paramilitary troops battled Al Qaeda militants and tribal supporters in South Waziristan Agency. The 48 military operations resulted in more than 500 deaths, including 304 foreign and local militants and around 200 troops." The paper also quoted Lt Gen Hussain as saying that bin Laden was guarded by some 50 men, divided into concentric circles of security.

Addressing senior civil servants of the 82nd National Management Course at the Pakistan Administrative Staff College in Rawalpindi on May 7, President General Pervez Musharraf emphasized that the quest for Kashmir settlement could not go on indefinitely and there is a growing realization in India and the international community that the long-standing Jammu and Kashmir dispute must be resolved permanently for lasting peace and progress in South Asia. President Musharraf said the past accords between Pakistan and India failed to establish durable peace as they did not address the underlying cause of tension. He pointed out that in the changed international environment the world had also realized that coercive diplomacy cannot lead to durable settlement of lingering disputes, including Kashmir. He said: "The international community views Kashmir as a flashpoint in the post-2002 stand-off between Pakistan and India and feels that a peaceful resolution to the problem is imperative."

The Police at Multan in the Punjab province announced on May 12 the arrest of Amir Shehzad and Khawaja Ibrahim, members of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), an outlawed Sunni group, suspected of plotting a series of attacks, including one on the Parliament. District Police Officer, Sikandar Hayat, told Reuters they were part of a network of up to 23 members who had been recruiting ‘suicide attackers’ for assaults on the National Assembly and Shias. "They had planned to make their way into the National Assembly and take the lawmakers hostage to press for their demands," Hayat disclosed. He also said police had arrested at least eight members of the network and a search was under way for the rest. The two men are also suspected of involvement in a suicide bombing that killed 30 people at a Shia mosque in Sialkot on October 1, 2004.

A group of 58 religious scholars belonging to all schools of thought issued in Lahore on May 17 an edict (fatwa) against suicide attacks. However, they said that the fatwa was applicable only in Pakistan. The edict was issued by Ruet Hilal Committee Chairman, Mufti Muneebur Rahman, at a press conference, according to Dawn. Among those present was Mufti Mohammad Khan Qadri, Member of the National Assembly representing the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, Maulana Abdul Malik and other prominent clerics. The edict says that Islam forbids suicide attacks on Muslims and those committing such acts at places of worship and public congregations cease to be Muslims. The fatwa, Mufti Rahman said, would apply only in Pakistan, while people waging ‘freedom movements against alien occupation’ like in Palestine and Kashmir, were exempted of its scope. The decree said that killing innocent people was haram (forbidden) in Islam and carried the death penalty, Qisas and compensation. Killing a fellow Muslim without Islamic and legal reasons was even a bigger crime, it added.

The Police in Multan said on May 20 that they had arrested three cadres of the proscribed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) who are suspected of having links with the Al Qaeda. An unnamed police official was quoted as saying in The News that Ali Sher, Haji Ejaz and Pir Jamil were arrested five days ago during a raid at their hideouts on the outskirts of Multan. He said, "These people had fought in Afghanistan and have also reportedly met Osama (bin Laden) and (Ayman) al-Zawahri about a year ago… They were involved in ensuring safe passage and settling down of terrorists and militants fleeing from the South Waziristan area." Laptop computers, satellite phones and maps were seized from their possession.

According to Daily Times, prominent religious leaders and clerics have held President Pervez Musharraf responsible for the desecration of the Holy Quran in Guantanamo Bay and urged the public to try to depose him. They demanded the Government deport the US Ambassador and visiting US Assistant Secretary, Christina Rocca, while addressing a ‘Hurmat-e-Quran’ conference held at Masjid-e-Shauhda in Lahore on May 25. Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (formerly the Lashkar-e-Toiba), said it was shameful for the Pakistanis to see their Government welcome those who desecrated the Holy Book. He said that Pakistan should recall its Ambassador from the US and also deport the US Ambassador. He also claimed that the Government was preaching obscenity in society in the name of ‘enlightened moderations’, which was also a conspiracy against Islam and the Quran. Qazi Hussain Ahmad, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) president, said, "Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, Pakistan Muslim League president, contacted me seeking invitation to attend the International Protest Day on May 27 against the desecration of the Holy Quran by US soldiers, but I refused saying that he can only join our movement if he leaves Gen Musharraf’s camp."

President Pervez Musharraf said in Lahore on July 25 that it was a misconception that Pakistan was the Al Qaeda headquarters. He said Osama bin Laden’s network did not exist in the country anymore. "I say this with clarity that Al Qaeda has no command structure in Pakistan," claimed the President. Pakistan had arrested about 700 Al Qaeda activists from the country, had occupied their sanctuaries in Waziristan, had eliminated their command and control system, had broken their vertical and horizontal links and had devastated their communications system, he said, adding that Al Qaeda operatives could not communicate with each other through electronic devices. Gen. Musharraf also confirmed that some of the London bombers had came to Pakistan for two to three months and that Pakistani security forces were investigating the purpose of their visits.

President General Pervez Musharraf said in Rawalpindi, on July 29, that all the estimated 1,400 foreign nationals studying in the country’s Madrassas (seminaries) would have to leave the institutions. "All foreigners are to be removed from Pakistan’s more than 10,000 religious schools," Gen Musharraf said, adding that and no new visas would be issued to non-Pakistanis wishing to study in a Madrassa. The ban would also apply to holders of dual nationality, he stated. "An ordinance to this effect will be adopted in the next coming days as part of new rules requiring all seminaries to register with the government by the end of the year," the president told foreign correspondents at the Army House during a two-hour interaction. While saying that these institutions could be the world’s biggest NGOs helping the poorest segment of the society, Gen. Musharraf added "Don’t think they are all negative, this is not the reality." He said it was unfortunate that in the West all Madrassas were perceived to be negative. Commenting on the ongoing countrywide crackdown on Islamist extremism, the president claimed "I don’t want to arrest the workers. I want the leaders of the banned groups. I’m not impressed by figures. We want to get all of the bigwigs."

The October 8-earthquake is a chance for India and Pakistan to reach a "final solution" to their long-standing dispute over Kashmir, President Pervez Musharraf said on November 16. But India also needed to grasp the opportunity as "you don’t clap with one hand", Gen. Musharraf said in Rawalpindi at a press conference. He said that since areas on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) had suffered, "I think it is an occasion which should be utilised to reach out for a solution of the Kashmir dispute… I only hope that both sides have realised that a permanent, final solution of Kashmir is more possible now because Kashmir has been affected."
