At least 25 tribals were killed and 40 others sustained injuries in a landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Eklagoda village, in the jurisdiction of Arabore police station of Dantewada district on February 28. However, there has been no official confirmation on the fatalities so far. Unofficial reports indicate that over 50 persons were killed in the attack. Telegraph reports that more than 200 tribals were returning from an anti-Maoist Salwa Judum meeting in two trucks and a bus when the Maoists detonated a landmine, blowing up one of the vehicles. Director-General of Police, O.P. Rathore, said the victims, mostly tribals, were returning home after attending a Salwa Judum meeting. As their convoy approached Eklagoda around 11.30 a.m., the Maoists exploded the landmine and subsequently opened fire on two other vehicles and reportedly abducted nearly 120 villagers. Chief minister Raman Singh said the Maoists have entered Orissa along with their hostages after crossing the Sabri river. He added that "the security personnel and villagers attending the Salwa Judum meetings had been strictly ordered to travel only by foot," he said, adding that the size of the group could have forced the villagers to opt for heavy vehicles. The anti-Maoist campaign, the Chief Minister added, would continue despite the attack. "The government will redesign the strategy and give a new direction to the campaign," he observed, describing the act as "desperate and cowardly".

Security forces (SFs) are reported to have killed at least 41 foreign terrorists, including their Chechen ‘commander’, in a raid carried out by gunship helicopters on their hideout on March 1 at Danday Saidgai village in North Waziristan bordering Afghanistan. Four Pakistani tribesmen and a soldier were also killed and an unspecified number of them were injured in the raid and subsequent exchange of fire between the two sides, according to The News. An unnamed senior military officer said the slain Chechen ‘commander’ was named Asad. The officer denied reports that Tahir Yuldashev, chief of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, was the prime target in the raid. He added the Uzbekistani terrorists normally hide and operate in South Waziristan, while the Chechens had sought refuge in North Waziristan. Military sources said the Chechens were using the residence of a cleric, Maulana Noor Piao Khan, in Danday Saidgai close to the Afghan border as a hideout and training camp. The raid on Danday Saidgai reportedly led to protests in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, and triggered violence. Eyewitnesses said pro-Taliban tribesmen responded to a call for Jihad by Maulana Abdul Khaliq, head of the Gulshan-i-Ilm Madrassa (seminary) in Miranshah, and began firing rockets and R/R guns at the Frontier Corps Fort and other military installations. Military sources said the troops returned fire and used artillery guns and other heavy weapons to fire in the direction from where they were attacked. Homes in Hamzoni, Palangzai, Darpakhel, Saidgai and Miranshah were consequently damaged. The cross-firing also caused injuries to a number of civilians, including at least four women. One woman was reported killed in Palangzai village.

A US diplomat, identified as David Fyfe, his Pakistani driver and a Rangers official were killed and 54 persons injured in a suicide car bombing near the US consulate in Karachi on March 2-morning, a day before the US President George W. Bush reaches Pakistan. The blast occurred behind the Marriott Hotel and in front of the Naval Central Surgery a few yards away from the consulate, according to The News.

"The blast was suicidal and pieces of a human body found from the site are those of the suicide bomber," the Karachi police chief disclosed. "Due to strict security arrangements, the suicide bomber could not reach his target (the US consulate) and blew the car up on the way, when a motorcade of US diplomats was passing through," he added. Witnesses said the incident created a 10x10 feet crater and damaged almost the entire front elevation of the Naval Central Surgery and the back elevation of the hotel. About 20 cars were damaged and some of them reportedly caught fire.

More than 100 terrorists were reportedly killed in two separate operations by security forces (SFs) at Miranshah and Mir Ali in North Waziristan on March 4. Three SF personnel died while nine others were wounded in the operation. According to Daily Times, the main army base at Miranshah came under heavy rocket fire from terrorists, who also occupied the main Miranshah Bazaar, various Government offices and the telephone exchange. SFs retaliated with helicopter gun ships and heavy artillery fire, Geo Television reported. It confirmed that at least 85 terrorists had died in the operation. Meanwhile, unidentified men ambushed a SF convoy in Mir Ali, killing two soldiers and injuring seven others. The troops killed 25 terrorists in retaliation, Geo said. There were also unconfirmed reports of deaths of civilians caught in the cross firing. Inter Services Public Relations Director General, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, put the number of casualties in the two operations at 46, but could not confirm the death toll. The encounter reportedly commenced on March 4-afternoon after the main army base was attacked “from all sides”, eyewitnesses and a military official said. “Security forces are retaliating after coming under the miscreants’ fire at the main base in Miranshah from all sides,” the military official said. It was not possible to independently verify the number of deaths due to the disruption of lines of communication in Miranshah, headquarters of North Waziristan, according to The News.

Six Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres and eight sailors were feared killed, when a boat heading to northern Sri Lanka and carrying LTTE cadres exploded off the northwest coast on March 25 near a naval craft, a military spokesman said. The boat, believed to be carrying explosives, was approached by a Naval Fast Attack Craft to carry out an inspection when it exploded in the Kalpititya region, 200 km north of capital Colombo, informed Brigadier Pradsad Samarasinghe. People aboard are believed to have detonated the vessel to avoid detection, he said. The naval craft sank and 11 sailors were rescued. A search operation for the sailors was in progress, but they are presumed dead, the navy said. "The suicide-style explosion carried out by the crew of the trawler causing damage to a naval vessel and claiming the lives of Navy personnel is a violation of the cease-fire," the Government said in a statement. However, the LTTE denied any involvement in the incident. "We never engage in any offensive operations against the Sri Lankan army and navy," S. Puleedevan, head of the LTTE Peace Secretariat, told Reuters by satellite telephone from Kilinochchi. "There is no (Tiger) connection to this attack," he claimed.

According to Dawn, at least 25 persons were killed and as many injured in gun-battles between followers of two religious groups at Bara in the North West Frontier Province. The clashes at Sur Dand area in Khyber Agency commenced on March 27 when supporters of cleric Mufti Munir Shakir laid siege to the house of a staunch follower of rival cleric Pir Saifur Rehman. Mufti Shakir and Pir Rehman reportedly ran illegal FM radio channels and the clerics, who used abusive language against each other in sermons on their channels, had left the tribal region some time ago under Government pressure. Officials claimed the two were orchestrating violence to force the administration into allowing their return to the region. BBC reported that the clash was about territorial control and enforcing the conflicting Muslim beliefs of the two rival clerics. Unnamed officials said the clash started when workers of Lashkar-i-Islam, formed by Shakir’s supporters, asked inmates of the house of Bacha Jee, follower of Rehman, to surrender, which they refused. In the ensuing gun-battle, which lasted eight hours, seven Lashkar men were killed and 25 others injured. The administration with the help of a Jirga (tribal council) was able to enforce a truce. However, officials said, the Lashkar activists violated the agreement on March 28 and made a pre-dawn attack on the house. Sources added that Lashkar activists captured and killed 18 men and also took an unspecified number of women and children hostage. The house was set ablaze and subsequently demolished.
