Documents seized by United States Special Forces personnel during the May 1-2, 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Abbottabad District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have revealed that al Qaeda leaders were increasingly worried about spies in their group, drones patrolling the skies and secret devices tracking their movements, reports Dawn, quoting translations released by Intelligence Agencies to media. The document — part of a cache of 113 documents — has been described by intelligence officials as Bin Laden’s will. The documents are mostly dated between 2009 and 2011 and comprise the second cache from the raid to have been declassified.In one of the declassified documents, bin Laden outlines how at least USD 29 million stashed in Sudan should be apportioned after his death, requesting that most of it be used to continue global jihad. He writes, “I hope for my brothers, sisters and maternal aunts to obey my will and to spend all the money that I have left in Sudan on jihad, for the sake of Allah.”

Sartaj Aziz, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, while making comment at Council on Foreign Relations in Washington on March 1 regarding Islamabad's considerable influence over the Taliban, said, "We have some influence over them because their leadership is in Pakistan and they get some medical facilities. Their families are here," reports Dawn. He further added, "We can use those levers to pressurise them to say, 'Come to the table'. But we can't negotiate on behalf of the Afghan Government because we cannot offer them what the Afghan Government can offer them.""We have to use these levers and [have] restricted their movements, restricted their access to hospitals and other facilities, and threatened them that 'If you don't come forward and talk, we will at least expel you'," he said of the tough message Islamabad sent to Taliban leaders, most of whom are believed to be operating out of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan Province. "[We told the Taliban leaders that] we have hosted [them] enough for 35 years, and we can't do it anymore because the whole world is blaming us just by [their] presence here," he said.Further he said that Islamabad pressured Afghan Taliban leaders to participate in the first-ever direct talks with the Afghan Government on July 7, 2015.

A Division Bench of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on March 2 issued notices to the Federal Ministries of Defence and Interior, asking them to explain why three brothers from Swat District were allegedly detained by Security Forces and why their property was confiscated, reports The Express Tribune. Justice Nisar Hussain and Justice Roohul Amin heard a writ petition filed by Zahida, the mother of Shujaat Shah, Syed Asmat Shah and Masood Shah, through her counsel Bashir Khan. Bashir argued the Security Forces had arrested Zahida’s husband Daulat Shah and her sons a few years ago. “They remained missing for a long time. In November 2014, Zahida was informed her son Shujaat was in Lakki Marwat and husband in Kohat internment centre while whereabouts of Asmat and Masood were still unknown to her,” the counsel told the court. “She was told her husband had died in the internment centre while Asmat had been placed in the proven militant or black category,” Bashir added.

An Intelligence Agency informed the Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) through a letter that “AQIS, the TTP, the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) and the LeJ are planning to attack Counter Terrorism Department official Raja Umar Khattab”, reports The News. Khattab said that continuous operations against banned outfits had resulted in a decrease in terrorism-related cases and many key terrorist leaders, including Naeem Bukhari of the LeJ and Farooq Mussana of AQIS, had been arrested. However, he added, a cell of AQIS still existed in Karachi and operating in small groups as after the Operation Zarb-e-Azb in the tribal areas, their network had been dismantled and now they were showing their presence by attacking Rangers, police and schools. “But that doesn’t mean that they will be unable to carry out major attacks. But if the crackdown against them continues, such attacks can be prevented.”

Pakistani officials threatened to expel Afghan Taliban from bases in Pakistan if they did not join peace talks this month, but the militants rebuffed their traditional patron, two officials said, casting doubt on how much influence Islamabad retains over them, Daily Times reported on March 15. After the secret meetings with Pakistani officials about two weeks ago, the Taliban's Supreme Council met at an undisclosed location and voted to reject the talks scheduled for early March with the Afghan government, according to a council member. Instead, the insurgents are now pouring back into Afghanistan for what they say will be a fierce spring offensive to be launched soon. Pakistan's influence over the insurgents is the lynchpin to the peace plan developed over last few months by Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States and China to bring an end to the 15-year-old war in Afghanistan. A Pakistani official in Islamabad said that the Taliban's recent success on the battlefield inside Afghanistan had changed the equation. “They no longer need their Pakistan bases in the same way, so if Pakistan threatens to expel them, it does not have the same effect,” said the official, a retired military officer close to the talks.

The United States (US) has “a very solid cooperation” on nuclear security with Pakistan and plans to continue this collaboration, said US Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller during the fourth and final Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on March 30, reports Dawn. She also said that Pakistan now “has quite a mature capability” of defending its nuclear weapons and installations. “We have a very solid cooperation with Pakistan on nuclear security” and the country “has quite a mature capability now”, she said when asked to spell out US concerns on Pakistan’s nuclear program. She pointed out that Pakistan had developed its own Nuclear Security Centre of Excellence in recent years and the US continued to work with the Pakistanis on the nuclear security front.She, however, identified one cause of concern, the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, but clarified that this concern was not focused on Pakistan alone. “Our concerns regarding the continuing deployment of battlefield nuclear weapons by Pakistan relate to a reality of the situation: When battlefield nuclear weapons are deployed forward, they can represent an enhanced nuclear security threat,” she said. “It’s more difficult to sustain positive control over systems that are deployed forward. We found this lesson ourselves out in Europe during the years of the Cold War.” “Wherever battlefield nuclear weapons exist, they represent particular nuclear security problems,” she said.
