The BBC Urdu Service has reported that bomb explosions cut electricity to the Balochistan province plunging the entire province into darkness on February 1-night. The report said that a high-tension power supply line was blown up by bomb attacks in the Mithri Pirak area of Sibi at approximately 9:15 pm (PST). "The electricity tower was blown up in Sibi and power supply to two-thirds of the province has been cut off," said an unnamed Balochistan Government official. "This was the last power supply line after two power transmission lines were blown up earlier this month and now we have no means to supply power. The repair will take some time," a Water and Power Development Authority official told AFP.

The Government on February 1 approved the draft of a six-point peace agreement with a Mujahideen ‘commander’ aimed at restoring peace in South Waziristan, according to Dawn. "We have approved the text of the six-point draft agreement. We have told Mehsud tribesmen negotiating the peace deal that we have no problems with it. As far as we are concerned the draft agreement stands approved," head of security in the Federally Administered Tribal Region (FATA), Brig. Mehmood Shah said. The draft agreement reportedly stipulates that Baitullah Mehsud, ‘commander’ of the Mujahideen in South Waziristan, and his supporters would not give protection to nor support any foreign terrorist in their area. Clause II of the draft says that Baitullah or his supporters will neither fire at any Government functionary nor cause damage to Government installations, nor will they obstruct development activities in the area. The third point provides for the exemption of Baitullah and his supporters from any legal and punitive action for their past activities. It does, however, provide for 'appropriate' punitive action under the Frontier Crimes Regulation against anyone violating the agreement and makes it incumbent upon the Mehsud tribesmen to hand over offenders to the authorities.

According to Time magazine, a recent investigation has revealed that Pakistan’s A Q Khan network played a larger role in helping Iran and North Korea acquire material for a nuclear bomb. According to US intelligence officials, the magazine said, Khan sold North Korea much of the necessary material to build a nuclear bomb, including high-speed centrifuges used to enrich uranium and the equipment required to manufacture more of them. They, along with officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also believe that Iran may have bought the same set of goods — centrifuges and possibly weapons designs — from Khan in the mid-1990s. The IAEA investigators have revealed that Iran privately confirmed at least 13 meetings (from 1994 to 1999) with representatives of the Khan network. "Nothing has changed… The hardware is still available, and the network hasn’t stopped," Time quoted one of Khan’s former aides as saying.

The youth wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami has reportedly set a deadline for the administration in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) to remove women's pictures from all signboards and billboards in Peshawar by February 15 or they themselves would remove them. The warning was issued by Peshawar President of Shabab-e-Milli (SeM), Abdul Qadir, during the Kashmir Day rally held in Qissakhwani Bazaar on February 6. Qadir criticized the local administration for, what he claimed, giving a free hand to commercial concerns to violate Islamic values of society by not stopping them from displaying women's pictures on billboards at public places. According to Dawn, the SeM had torn down many signboards and billboards of local and multinational companies on Grand Trunk and Khyber Roads during the self-styled campaign against obscenity on June 14, 2003.

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."

Pakistan and India on February 16 agreed to start a bus service between Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir from April 7, 2005, with people from Kashmir, Pakistan and India to travel across the Line of Control (LoC) by an entry permit system. Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri announced this in Islamabad in a joint statement with his Indian counterpart Natwar Singh after talks between the two. "The bus service will start without prejudice to the stated positions of both the countries on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir," Indian Foreign Secretary, Shyam Saran, said at a separate press conference. The entry permit for travel across the LoC will reportedly be issued by both sides on verification of identities and the citizens of a third country will not be allowed to avail this travel facility. "We have discussed the practical procedure that applies to a route and which does not affect our stated positions. Those traveling to Pakistan will also be able to visit Gilgit and Baltistan," said Saran, adding that the bus service was an important development and a "win-win situation" for both countries. Natwar Singh, in his statement, said both sides agreed to also look at a pipeline through Pakistan subject to the satisfaction of India’s concerns related to security and assured supplies. "We also agreed to start a bus service between Amritsar and Lahore and to religious places such as Nankana Sahib and instructed our officials to tie up technical details," added Singh.

According to Daily Times, the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) is expected to reunite with a splinter group that broke away in 2002. "Reconciliation is underway and is expected to end on a positive note," sources told Daily Times. According to sources, the reconciliation is a result of efforts made by the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) chapter of Jamaat-e-Islami. Sardar Ejaz Afzal, head of the Jamaat in PoK, confirmed the report and said they wanted the Mujahideen to remain united for the sake of the ‘Kashmiri freedom struggle’. The Hizb had split in July 2002 when ‘commander’ Abdul Majid Dar announced a unilateral cease-fire in Jammu and Kashmir. Dar was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in the Noor Bagh area of Sopore township in north Kashmir on March 23, 2003.

Three terrorist groups, while declaring their opposition to the April 2005 Srinagar-Muzaffarabad service, have threatened to disrupt it. "This will weaken the idea of Kashmir uniting with Pakistan. This is a conspiracy by India to weaken Jihad," Mufti Abdur Rauf, a spokesperson for the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), told Associated Press. "We will see what benefits India wants to get from this bus service. If it infiltrates spies into Azad Kashmir [Pakistan occupied Kashmir] and there is an increase in atrocities by Indian security forces in the occupied Kashmir, we will certainly try to stop it," he said. Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) chief, Syed Salahuddin, is reported to have that the bus service was unimportant and would not improve the plight of people in Jammu and Kashmir. "The bus service is a failed effort to put ointment on the wounds of Kashmiris," he said in a statement issued from Muzaffarabad. Separately, a former spokesperson of the banned Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Yahya Mujahid, told AFP that "This cosmetic gesture will not curb the demand of freedom by Kashmiris."
