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. Niaz Siddiqi, the Capital City Police Officer, confirmed at a news conference that it was a suicide car bombing. "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.

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.

Four Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel and at least one civilian were killed when terrorists launched a Fidayeen (suicide squad) attack on the headquarters of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the business hub of Budshah Chowk in capital Srinagar on October 4. At least 30 persons, including over a dozen from Police and CRPF, sustained injuries even as over 200 people were successfully evacuated and two to three terrorists are holed up at a nearby hotel building, according to Daily Excelsior. This is the first Fidayeen attack in the city in four-and-a-half months, according to The Hindu. The terrorists reportedly attacked the Dashnami Akhara building in the Budshah Chowk area around 11.30 a.m. They first hurled grenades, and subsequently opened fire indiscriminately towards the building. However, an alert sentry repulsed the attack, which forced the heavily armed terrorists to take shelter in the nearby Hotel New Standard. Some civilians were injured in the crossfire. More than 40 people were evacuated from the hotel, and hundreds from the nearby offices, banks and business establishments. The operation to flush out the terrorists from the hotel was continuing till last reports came in. "We are on the job, and things are moving in the right direction but I think the operations will be put off till tomorrow. The siege will continue since the area is densely populated," Inspector-General (Operations), CRPF, S.K. Singh told The Hindu. A spokesman of the Al-Mansoorian outfit, Aamir, told Daily Excelsior over telephone that three of his outfit’s cadres carried out the attack.

At least 98 sailors of the navy were killed and 100 injured on October 16 as suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a naval convoy in Habarana, according to The Hindu. The toll is likely to increase as several of the injured are reportedly in a serious condition. The massacre occurred at the entry point to east and Trincomalee district. The Defence Ministry said LTTE terrorists rammed into the naval convoy at Digampatana in Habarana around 1.30 p.m (SLT). The military said, "A huge explosion has occurred causing severe destruction to both naval personnel and the civilians in the area." The convoy comprising 24 buses was at the Digampatana rendezvous point when the attack occurred. The Ministry said over 340 unarmed naval personnel were believed to be present at the location. Naval sources said 13 buses had been damaged. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Secretariat of President Mahinda Rajapakse said the incident was yet another example of the LTTE's cowardly use of extreme violence against unarmed services personnel. "The suicide truck attack at Habarana was in a civilian area away from the area of armed confrontation. This was further proof of the LTTE's unmitigated commitment to violence to achieve its ends and was in total disregard of international demands for it to abandon violence and seek peaceful means to achieve its goals," he said.
