Two policemen were killed and 12 others, including six policemen, were injured in a commando-style suicide attack on a Police headquarters in the Swabi District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on November 1, reports Daily Times. Mardan DIG Abdullah Khan said four militants took part in the attack. “They first opened fire at the cops killing one and injuring others. Then the attackers tried to enter the Police headquarters, and at its main entrance one bomber blew himself up,” Abdullah Khan was quoted as saying. Eyewitnesses said the second bomber was killed after police chased him. An office building was damaged by the explosion, Abdullah Khan added. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. TTP spokesman Azam Tariq told a foreign news agency in a telephone call from an undisclosed location that TTP carried out the attack, saying it was in retaliation for a stepped-up US drone strike campaign.

Clarifying about the news reports claiming that a NATO aircraft "violated" Pakistan’s airspace in the Burqi and Kharlaci areas of Khurram Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on November 2, the United States Embassy in Islamabad on November 3 said that the accusation is entirely false, reports Daily Times. No NATO aircraft violated the Pakistani airspace in the areas of Burqi and Kharlaci as alleged in reports, said a press release issued by the embassy. Pakistan’s Air Defence Command confirmed the information, the statement said and added that coalition and US air operations in Afghanistan conducted along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region are closely coordinated with Pakistan’s Air Force. We refer all questions concerning the integrity of the Pakistani airspace to the Pakistan Air Force, the press release added. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Senate expressed serious concern over the violation of Pakistani airspace by NATO forces. Legislators from Jamaat-e-Islami and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) staged a walkout from the Senate session in protest and strongly condemned the airspace violations by NATO forces. Talking on a point of order, the leader of the Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) Senator Raza Rabbani demanded from the House to summon NATO diplomats in the Foreign Office at the earliest, otherwise Pakistan reserved the right of other options, including military retaliation. He said no agreement existed between NATO and Pakistani forces regarding military retaliation in Pakistan’s bordering areas as well as violation of the country’s airspace by NATO forces.

The Federal Government has issued a ‘high terror alert’ on all international airports in the country, specifically on out-bound ‘air cargos’ on way to foreign destinations, Dawn reported on November 2. The alert came against the backdrop of the United States terror alert, following the discovery of two packages containing bombs that were in transit to the US from Yemen. "The only thing we can do is be more cautious and security on all the airports across Pakistan has already been tight due to prevailing law and order situation," said an official associated with aviation industry. "We have a far better security at all the airports and international best practices are in place across all the international airports," claimed the federal aviation official requesting anonymity.

Al Qaeda in a message released on November 4 vowed revenge on the United States (US) over an 86-year jail sentence handed down in September to a Pakistani woman Aafia Siddiqui convicted of attacking her American interrogators, reported Daily Times. Ayman al Zawahiri threatened new attacks to avenge the sentencing and presented it as another reason that Pakistanis should overthrow their Government and join the jihad (holy war) against the US. “We will fight you until the Day of Judgment, or until you stop your crimes. Imprison whomever you want, kill whoever you want, and raid whatever you want. The Muslim nation is after you,” Zawahiri said addressing the US.

The United States on November 4 imposed sanctions on two Pakistan-based militant outfits and a key militant leader for November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, reports Daily Times. The Treasury Department said it targeted the financial and support networks of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM). It also took action against Azam Cheema, saying he had helped train operatives for the November 2008 Mumbai attacks and was the "mastermind" behind the July 2006 Mumbai train bombings carried out by LeT. The targets also included leaders of LeT and JeM, as well as Al Rehmat Trust, an "operational front" for JeM, the department said in a statement. LeT was already designated as a foreign terrorist organisation in December 2001, the department noted. "Today’s action – including the designation of Azam Cheema, one of LeT’s leading commanders who was involved in the 2008 and 2006 Mumbai attacks – is an important step in incapacitating the operational and financial networks of these deadly organisations," Stuart Levey, Under Secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in the statement.

Militant attacks on two mosques, one at Juma congregation in Darra Adamkhel and the other at Isha prayers in Badbher near Peshawar, left at least 68 persons dead and another 70 injured on November 5, reports Dawn.

The mosque is about one kilometre from the main camp of Security Forces (SFs) set up in a degree college. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) denied having any hand in the attack and, instead, blamed foreign agents fighting SFs in tribal areas. Security officials in Peshawar said they suspected that the militants of Tariq Afridi fraction of TTP carried out the attack. Their target, the officials said, was the Momin Afridi fraction which had raised a lashkar (tribal militia) and supported SFs’ action against militants loyal to Tariq Afridi.

US officials received at least five warnings that an American man who became a key figure in the 2008 Mumbai attacks was training or working with extremists, The Washington Post said on November 6. Despite the warnings to US intelligence agencies building up over seven years, officials did not move to question David Coleman Headley or place him on any watch list, the report said, citing a review underway for the US director of national intelligence (DNI). The report was co-published by the The Washington Post and ProPublica, an investigative journalism group that reported the story. In October, ProPublica revealed that one of Headley’s wives had warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents in August 2005 that her husband had undergone intensive training programmes with the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and “was an active militant” with the radical extremist group, in a report the newspaper said prompted the DNI review. Despite the warnings, Headley continued to move freely, travelling to Pakistan, India, Dubai and Europe in 2006, gathering information and material that made possible the attacks by the Pakistani militants on Mumbai, which left 166 people dead and more than 300 others injured.

The spokesman Abdul Basit said Pakistan’s position on UNSC’s reforms was based on principles. “Any reform of the council that contradicts the very fundamental principles of the UN Charter including the principle of sovereign equality; of equal rights and self-determination; and the principle of collective security would gravely undermine the system of international relations based on the UN Charter principles,” he said.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) have planned to carry out suicide attacks in Islamabad and other parts of the country, Daily Times quoting Intelligence reports on November 12. According to intelligence information, TTP ‘commander’ Qari Momin sent four suicide bombers to attack Eid congregations in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and Faisalabad. The LeJ is also likely to target Eid congregations, mosques, Imambargahs (Shia place of worship), shrines, Police and Army establishments and places of worship belonging to minorities. The intelligence and law enforcement agencies have also received threats through fax by the TTP. An intelligence report stated that a terrorist, Ibrar, assigned the task of suicide bombings to his accomplices across the country. Reports further revealed that the terrorists had sent an explosive-laden vehicle from Miranshah of North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to the high value targets in Punjab.

The United States (US) terrorism expert Bruce Riedel while talking with Spiegel Online on November 12 about how explosive the situation was in Pakistan and how much influence al Qaeda still had, said that coup in Pakistan a real possibility, reports Daily Times. On increasing talk of trying to negotiate with the Afghan Taliban to achieve a political settlement, Riedel said, “We’re all war weary and are looking for a way out. We would all like a political solution but the question is: are the Taliban capable of the kind of process of compromise and negotiations that we want? And can it be separated from al Qaeda? The odds are good that the answer is no and that the ties between the two are too strong. For example, there was an attempted attack on the metro system in New York City last year, which was al Qaeda-sponsored, but the terrorists had been given to al Qaeda by the Afghan Taliban. That suggests it’s going to be very hard to break up the connection,” adding, “Al Qaeda today remains a very dangerous foe and must not be underestimated.”

Pakistan has used terror outfits as a hedge against India, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on November 13, reports The Hindu. In an assessment of the situation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the US policy of creating the Mujahideen to oust the Soviet Union from Afghanistan had boomeranged. Pakistan's policy towards India and Afghanistan was “changing” for the better, but she could not vouch for a U-turn. “They [Pakistan] have in the past hedged against both India and an unfriendly regime in Afghanistan by supporting groups that will be their proxies in trying to prevent either India or an unfriendly Afghan government from undermining their position. That is changing... Now, I cannot sit here and tell you that it has changed, but that is changing,” she told ABC News in an interview the transcripts of which were released by the State Department.

The United States should use drones to target Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) hideouts if Pakistan does not destroy them, says US bipartisan task force on November 13, reports Dawn. In a report to the Barack Obama administration, the task force warns that another Mumbai-like attack could lead to a full-fledged war between India and Pakistan. “What we are suggesting is that we include LeT in this target list, because if the Pakistanis aren’t willing to see this as a threat and indeed an existential threat to them, then we see it that way, and we are going to prosecute it,” Richard Armitage, former deputy Secretary of State said. Richard Armitage, while talking to the media after the release of the task force’s report on Pakistan and Afghanistan, urged Islamabad to realise that the Haqqani network also posed an existential threat to the Pakistani state. “I would hope they would see the Haqqani network in the same way they see Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), that this is ultimately a threat to them as well,” said Richard Armitage. “On Lashkar-e-Taiba, they have to see this as something that could, in a single stroke, cause war between India and Pakistan, something that I think would delight Al Qaeda no end,” he observed. “And why do I say this? LeT is trouble. As I have already indicated, if they have one more strike, another Mumbai-type attack, I do not think the Indian government can be held back,” he added further.

He said that Pakistan did not have enough resources for a military operation in North Waziristan Agency and therefore the Pakistan Army would itself decide when it was ready to launch an operation. Further, Richard Holbrooke said that sources of funding for terrorists and militants come from outside Pakistan and through extortion of NATO supply convoys.

Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is a profoundly dangerous outfit but not greater than al Qaeda, Daniel Benjamin, State Department coordinator for counter terrorism said on November 17, reports Indian Express. "Obviously, LeT is a profoundly dangerous group and its support that it derives from doing social services is like Hamas, is like Hezbollah, and is of course of great concern," Daniel Benjamin said. "I don't think I ever said LeT was more dangerous than al Qaeda, but it is certainly a very, very dangerous group. That is why the work that we are doing with Pakistan, aside from the law enforcement cooperation and we have been very supportive of Pakistan's efforts to bring Mumbai perpetrators to justice," Benjamin told reporters in response to a question.

11 years after the Kargil war in 1999, the Pakistan Army has included the names of 453 soldiers and officers who were killed during the conflict on its website, according to The Hindu. The 453 Pakistani soldiers are shown as killed in the Batalik-Kargil sector in Jammu and Kashmir. The names of those who died in Kargil are tucked away in a list of thousands of personnel killed while on duty posted in the Shuhada's Corner (Martyrs Corner) of the website. Several causes are cited for those who died in Kargil — “killed in action”, “enemy action”, “enemy firing”, “enemy artillery shelling” and even “road accident”. The list gives the name, rank, unit and location of death of each casualty. A majority of those who died in Kargil were soldiers from the Northern Light Infantry, a formation that was made a regular regiment of the Pakistan Army because of its performance in the 1999 conflict. It was earlier a paramilitary force formed by the amalgamation of several militias from the Northern Areas or Gilgit-Baltistan. The Army also reveals the codename given to the operation to occupy strategic mountains and heights on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) — Operation Koh-e-Paima or Mountain of Resolve. In some cases, the campaign is also referred to as Operation Kargil. During the Kargil conflict and in subsequent years, the Pakistan Army insisted that none of its regular soldiers were involved in the hostilities. This stance continued despite the Indian Army capturing several serving soldiers. The Pakistan Army never issued an official list of its casualties. The first admission of the Pakistan Army's involvement in the conflict came from the former Army Chief and President Pervez Musharraf, who revealed in his 2006 memoir In The Line of Fire that regular soldiers had fought in Kargil. General Musharraf's book said 357 troops were killed and over 660 injured but political parties have claimed that thousands of soldiers and insurgents died in the conflict. The opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz put the death toll at 3,000 and nearly 200 Pakistani casualties were buried on the Indian side.

Pakistan is not making enough progress in the war against terrorism, even though its commitment to crush extremism has significantly increased in the last one year, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council 2010 meeting on November 18, reports Dawn. “We don’t have combat boots on the ground in Pakistan. What we are seeing is Pakistani Government, Pakistani Army taking action against some of these safe havens, disrupting them and increasingly coordinating with us in, not in cross-border, but on either-side-of-the-border operations against these groups,” Gates said, adding, “I think that the Pakistanis taking it on is clearly preferable.”

The Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), an anti-Shia militant group accused of having links with al Qaeda, has split into at least eight small cells to better coordinate its activities across Pakistan, according to a media report, PTI reported on November 18. "The creation of the cells is aimed at coordinating the banned group’s activities in the area ranging from the southern port city of Karachi to Waziristan in the restive tribal belt bordering Afghanistan," the Express Tribune newspaper quoted its sources in Kohat, Hangu, Peshawar and Lahore as saying. "Each sub-group is responsible for carrying out activities in a specific geographic location," one of the sources said. Individuals with connections within the LeJ and intelligence officials tracking the group said the move appeared to be an attempt to outsmart law enforcement agencies. "It looks like (LeJ strategists) don’t want to put all their eggs in one basket," said an unnamed intelligence official, adding, "It’s a typical guerrilla warfare and urban militancy technique. With scattered cells, they have better chances of survival by diverting the focus of law enforcement agencies." The LeJ, which is dominated by militants from Punjab, has established hideouts inside North Waziristan tribal region, which is controlled by the network of Afghan Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani. While there are no significant signs suggesting that the Haqqani network is directly supporting LeJ activists, security officials contend the two groups have a strong commonality connecting them—both are staunch allies of al Qaeda. The daily quoted its sources as saying that the LeJ’s cell for Karachi and Balochistan has been named "Jundallah" but it operates separately from an existing organisation of the same name, led by separatist Iranian Sunnis, that is active in the same region. "That’s where intelligence agencies’ personnel are often mistaken. They sometimes confuse activists from one group with the other," an unnamed official in the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Sindh Province said. The LeJ is the biggest militant group operating in Karachi and 94 of 246 terrorists arrested in the city since 2001 belonged to it, according to a secret report of the CID. The LeJ, headed by Maulana Abdul Khalil, a fugitive militant leader from Punjab, operates mostly in central parts of Punjab and the tribal areas.

Daily Times report on November 19 confirmed that Siraj Haqqani, the ‘operational commander’ of the Haqqani Network, who had earlier been moved from Miranshah in North Waziristan to Kurram Agency, has been moved further to a secure “safe house” outside Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The decision was taken after the September 27 NATO incursions near the village of Mata Sanger, which left two Pakistani Frontier Corps soldiers dead. “Apparently, Siraj Haqqani was pretty close at a safe-house when the NATO incursion at Kurram took place,” confirmed an unnamed high ranking Western diplomat. Siraj Haqqani was earlier moved to Kurram Agency from Miranshah in North Waziristan after his brother, Mohammed Haqqani, and his first cousin ‘military commander’, Saifullah Haqqani, were killed in US drone attack on February 19, 2010 and September 15, 2010 respectively.

Fakharuddin had criticised Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif for their alleged relations with the banned outfits, especially when the Punjab Government decided to take back all criminal cases against the members of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ). The PPP Punjab leader had alleged that the Government, in collaboration with some sectarian organisations, had made a terror plan for Muharram (Islamic festival of mourning).

Pakistan's Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are covertly sponsoring four militant groups, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and will not abandon them for any amount of US money, the American envoy to Islamabad wrote in a secret review in 2009, reveals diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, Times of India reports on December 1. According to a report in British Newspaper The Guardian on November 30, the review said that Pakistan had received more than USD 16 billion in American aid since 2001, but "there is no chance that Pakistan will view enhanced assistance... as sufficient compensation for abandoning support to these groups", former US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson wrote in the review of Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy in September 2009. Secret cables, which were leaked by WikiLeaks, show that US diplomats and spies believe Pakistan Army and its ISI continue to quietly back four militant groups — the Afghan Taliban, its allied Haqqani and Hekmatyar networks on the western Afghan frontier, and LeT on the eastern border with India. Some ISI officials "continue to maintain ties with a wide array of extremist organisations, in particular the Taliban, LeT and other extremist organizations," US secretary of state Hillary Clinton wrote in December 2009.
