Farhat Paracha, wife of Pakistani businessman Saifullah Paracha who has been held captive at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp for the past 19 months by the US authorities for his suspected terrorist ties with Al Qaeda, disclosed on February 11 that her husband had met Osama bin Laden twice. Speaking at a news conference at the Karachi Press Club, she, however, denied that Saifullah had any links with terrorism. She claimed that as the head of a 65-member business delegation, Saifullah went to Afghanistan and had business meetings with a small number of people there, but he had nothing to do with the charges framed against him by the US administration. According to American investigators, Saifullah, who is being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba for suspected terrorist ties, urged Al Qaeda operatives to acquire nuclear weapons for use against US troops. The allegation, contained in documents filed recently in US District Court in Washington, also identifies Saifullah, who reportedly has an import business in New York, as a participant in a plot to smuggle explosives into the United States and to help Al Qaeda hide "large amounts of money."

A Pakistani and two Frenchmen of North African origin reportedly went on trial at a criminal court in Paris on May 11 on terror charges for their suspected roles in a recruiting network providing Jehad fighters.

The Supreme Court on August 4 ruled that several clauses of the Hisba Bill relating to the powers of an ombudsman, who is to be appointed under the law, contrary to the Constitution. The court advised the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Governor not to assent to the law which was passed by the provincial Assembly on July 14, 2005, by a 68-43 vote. "For Reasons to be recorded later, we are of the considered view that Section 10 (b-c-d), 12 (1) (a-b-c), 23 (1-2-3-5-6-7-12-14-27, 25 (1-2) and 28 of the Hisba bill passed by NWFP assembly are ultra vires of the constitution, therefore governor of the province may not assent the bill in its present form," Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry said in a unanimous order after four days of hearing of the reference filed by President Pervez Musharraf against the bill under the advisory jurisdiction of the court.

A judge in San Francisco is reported to have refused bail on August 9 for a Pakistani Imam (priest), Shabbir Ahmed, detained in a terrorism-related probe. Shabbir Ahmed is "both a flight risk and a danger to the community," Judge Anthony Murry said after a four-hour hearing, according to media reports. Ahmed, a citizen of Pakistan, is accused of violating the terms of his religious-worker visa and is fighting deportation to Pakistan, according to San Francisco Chronicle. FBI lead case agent Gary Schaaf said in testimony that Shabbir Ahmed and others wanted to form a Lodi religious school where individuals will be taught a very conservative brand of Islam, and students will be spotted and assessed to commit violence. The 39-year old Ahmed was arrested in June 2005 on immigration charges along with Mohammad Adil Khan, who was leading the effort to build a Muslim school in Lodi, as well as Khan’s son. Adil Khan and his son agreed in July 2005 to be deported to Pakistan rather than fight the charges.

According to Dawn, United States authorities have dropped terrorism charges against three Pakistani nationals after they agreed to be deported to their home country. The three initially faced charges of terrorism but those were changed to illegal stay after they agreed to accept their deportation. Shabbir Ahmed, the Imam (priest) of a mosque in Lodi, California, told an immigration judge that he had accepted the offer to leave the US. His fellow cleric, Mohammad Adil Khan, was deported on August 15 to Pakistan along with his 19-year-old son. Attorney Saad Ahmad, who represents both the clerics, said Ahmed would join his family in Islamabad while Khan was heading to Karachi, where his father runs a religious school.

A Pakistani and three Americans have been charged with plotting terrorist attacks on military facilities and synagogues in the United States, according to Dawn. Pakistani national, Hammad Riaz Samana, and three American-born Muslim converts, Levar Haley Washington, Gregory Vernon Patterson and Kevin James, have been accused of conspiring to wage war against the US Government through terrorism, kill armed service members and murder foreign officials. Their trial will start on October 24 in a California court. Prosecutors contend the plot was orchestrated by Washington, Patterson and Samana at the behest of James -— an inmate at the California State Prison, Sacramento — who allegedly founded the radical group Jamiyyat ul-Islam-us-Saheeh. Police uncovered the alleged plot in July 2005 while investigating a series of gas station robberies. They reportedly discovered what they believe was a target listing that included three California National Guard facilities, the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles and several synagogues.
