Balochistan Governor Owais Ghani on February 6 accused Afghan warlords and drug barons of arming tribal militants, according to Daily Times. Ghani said that the deteriorating security situation was partly a spillover from Afghanistan due to the weakness of President Hamid Karzai’s Government. "Unfortunately Karzai’s central government is weak in the provinces, and the warlords and drug lords there are pushing arms into Balochistan," he told a news conference in Karachi. "We have successfully stopped 10 to 12 percent of arms movement from Afghanistan, but the border between Afghanistan and Balochistan is 1,200 plus kilometers long and it is very difficult to completely seal it."

Dr Ahmad Javed Khwaja, who had been detained for four months in the year 2002 on charges of alleged links with the Al Qaeda, was shot dead at Manawan near Lahore on February 13, according to Dawn. His cousin Khwaja Tanvir Ahmad said Dr. Ahmed was en route to his clinic when two unidentified gunmen riding a motorcycle opened fire on him and sped away. "It is a target killing," said Lahore investigation police chief Chaudhry Shafqaat Ahmad. He claimed that some "forces intending to create unrest in the country could have masterminded the murder." After his return from the US in 1983, the doctor ran a clinic near his house in Manawan, treating patients free of cost. Dr Ahmad remained in custody for over four months and was set free after his family challenged his detention in the Lahore High Court where the federal Interior Ministry submitted that Khwaja had been harbouring terrorists like Yasir Al-Jazeeri of the Al Qaeda.

President Pervez Musharraf is reported to have told during an interview with ABC News, that his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai had handed over a list of 40 wanted men along with their phone numbers and "we find that two-thirds of them are dead and it is just a total waste of time". Calling for the fencing and mining of the border with Afghanistan to clamp down on infiltrators, the President said that while "we are applying military against terrorism, we need to address bigger issues, bigger issues of political disputes". He added, "Eight thousand troops really are being used to operate against al-Qaeda and Taliban who are in South and North Waziristan mainly, but we are not using the Army only to track down Osama. We are using the Army against al-Qaeda and Taliban. Now in the process, if you get word on him, very good. But we are not certainly focusing entirely only on tracking Osama bin Laden and Zawahri. This is not the case."
