The Baluchistan Chief Minister Jam Muhammad Yousaf escaped unhurt when his cavalcade was attacked by unidentified terrorists on August 2 near Surab, about 180 kilometers south west of Quetta. A constable and one of the attackers were reportedly killed and three persons sustained injuries during the incident. According to Daily Times, Yousaf was on his way back from Khuzdar where he had gone to visit military personnel injured in an attack by unidentified assailants on August 1. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack thus far. The Chief Minister told The News from district Kalat by telephone "When we were coming back to Quetta after holding a law and order meeting in district Khuzdar, some unknown assailants attacked the ATF [Anti-Terrorist Force] vehicle in Anjera area." However, APP reported that Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Federal Information and Broadcasting Minister, has denied the occurrence of an attack on the Baluchistan Chief Minister. According to Rashid, the incident was a result of misunderstanding between three men riding a motorcycle and the police squad at the tail end of the convoy, which resulted in an exchange of fire.

According to Daily Times, Sajjad Nasser, a Pakistani national accused of attending a terrorist training camp, was deported on August 26 from the United States to Pakistan. Nasser was deported under a section of the Patriot Act that expands the legal definitions of terrorist organizations and acts, said Corina Almeida, chief counsel for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Nasser was arrested in March 2003 on charges of conspiring to harbour an illegal resident. Immigration authorities accused him of attending a training camp run by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), designated by the United States as a terrorist group. However, Nasser’s attorney, David Lane, termed the allegation that his client assisted terrorists "a big, fat lie… He is a sacrificial lamb… It’s ludicrous. It’s racist."
