Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Masood Khan said on September 1 that the fugitive Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden might be hiding in the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan. "Osama bin Laden's presence anywhere in that area cannot be ruled out," he confirmed. However, commenting on a report that appeared in a British daily, The Guardian, earlier which claimed that Islamabad and Washington had information that bin Laden was in Pakistan, he termed it as "rubbish and a pure fabrication".

While criticising the military leadership for carrying out investigations against army officers for being sympathetic to ‘Afghan resistance forces’, opposition parties on September 1 demanded a probe against General Pervez Musharraf and other generals in the same context. "If the investigations are being held against those who supported militancy or resistance in Afghanistan, then from General Zia-ul-Haq to General Pervez Musharraf, every one should be probed into," opposition leader Hafiz Hussain Ahmad was quoted as saying in The News. He claimed that since the start of the Afghan war, many Generals of the Pakistan Army have been engaged in the exercise. "Can anyone deny that General Pervez did not help the resisting forces (Taliban) before the incidents of 9/11," added Hafiz Hussain.

Eight persons, including two activists of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Altaf Hussain (MQM-A), were shot dead by unidentified terrorists in two separate attacks in the Liaquatabad and Azizabad areas of Karachi on September 2. The first incident occurred in the early hours of the day when two MQM-A cadres were shot dead by unidentified assailants near the Sindh Government Hospital in Liaquatabad. Reportedly, 45 minutes after their burial, unidentified terrorists targeted a gathering of mourners near the Azizabad area. The News has indicated that six persons, including a prayer leader, were shot dead in this incident. Official sources have linked the two incidents and suspect that the same group of terrorists carried out both the attacks.

The Sindh Government has banned the entry of 67 North West Frontier Province (NWFP) clerics for the next 90 days.

NWFP Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) deputy chief Hakeem Abdul Waheed is among the 67 clerics. Commenting on the ban, Waheed said "My speeches have never inflamed sectarianism. I have never been banned from any part of the country."

The Daily Times has reported that the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) Assembly on September 4 condemned a yet to be officially confirmed Pakistani operation to hunt for Osama bin Laden in Bannu. The legislators said "the proposed and expected" unified operation should not be allowed because it would harm Pakistan’s integrity. They also reportedly asked the Federal Government to stop the intended operation. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Sharief (PML-N) leader Anwar Kamal Marwat said that he had received information on September 3 that approximately 25 helicopters had flown to Bannu for a secret operation to hunt for Al Qaeda terrorists. "This operation is part of a special foreign agenda under which innocent Muslim blood was shed in Afghanistan," said Marwat. Meanwhile, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) member and Frontier Assembly Deputy Speaker Ikramullah Shahid said, "Our integrity and solidarity is in danger."

Police in Quetta on September 5 arrested four suspects of a terrorist network involved in June 8 and July 4 sectarian terrorism incidents in which over 60 persons were killed. Three of the alleged terrorists were killed in the July 4 attack at a Shiite Muslim mosque in Quetta while two of them are still at large, said official sources. The three dead terrorists who attacked the mosque were identified as Muhammad Khan, Noor Ahmed and Abdul Shakoor, said Inspector General Police (IGP) Shoaib Suddle. The IGP also said that investigations had indicated that these three terrorists had often visited Afghanistan and had links with a defunct sectarian group. The investigations have reportedly revealed that the gang was also involved in other sectarian violence in Baluchistan, including Quetta. The gang is also involved in the murder of two police personnel on November 1, 2002, murders of four Hindus on February 8, 2003, murder of local jeweller on May 31, 2003, and the killing of 12 Shia police trainees on June 8, 2003, he added.

Chief of the Pakistan occupied Kashmir unit of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), Sardar Ejaz Afzal Khan, said on September 9 that "[Geelani] is a leader of national standing and has played a role in the Kashmir freedom struggle throughout his life. That’s why JI would support him if he became the chief of the APHC." Khan said that in the event of a division within the APHC, the Jamaat would support the faction favouring Kashmir’s accession to Pakistan. Geelani, Khan claimed, has contributed his whole life for this cause. "Though the decision of a no-trust move against Abbas Ansari was hard, it was the decision of the majority vote among APHC member parties, and JI would support that decision," he added.

"If Mr. Gillani becomes the chief of the APHC, it would strengthen the Kashmir freedom movement and we would back him," Hashmi added.

Five Pakistan-based terrorist groups, including the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), which were proscribed by President Pervez Musharraf on January 12, 2002, are currently functioning openly under changed identities, according to the Herald. After the initial crackdown on them following the ban, these five groups are "back in business" with changed names and identities, the magazine quoting a report by Pakistani intelligence said in its latest issue. Four of Pakistan’s top sectarian outfits have effectively regrouped and are operating their respective networks as openly as before though under different names, it said. "According to a report prepared by Pakistani intelligence earlier this year to assess the situation a year after the ban was enforced, the move has failed to check either the activities or the relentless funding of these terror outfits from all corners of the world," it said. Further, the military regime has been unable to stop the "relentless funding" from Saudi Arabia and other countries to the terrorist groups, even in cases where Pakistani missions abroad were aware of the identities of financial sponsors of these organisations, it said.

On the eve of the second anniversary of 9/11, fugitive Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri was quoted as saying in media reports that Pakistanis should revolt against President Pervez Musharraf. In an audiotape aired by Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television, he said, "We ask our Muslim brethren in Pakistan: until when will you put up with the traitor Musharraf, who sold the Muslims’ blood in Afghanistan and handed over the Arab mujahideen to crusader America?" He also said, "Had it not been for his treason, the surrogate government would not have been installed in Kabul, that government which brought the Indians to Pakistan’s western borders… Not only this. He opened up nuclear installations to US inspection, choked off the jihad in Kashmir ... and is (planning) to recognize Israel - all for a handful of dollars the Americans stack in his pocket ... The officers and soldiers of the Pakistani army should realize that Musharraf will hand them over as prisoners to the Indians ... and flee abroad to enjoy his secret (bank) accounts." Zawahri urged "all Muslims in Pakistan" to ‘unite’ to protect their country from "the crusade allied with the Hindus."

The United Jehad Council (UJC), an alliance of 13 Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, has decided to support the breakaway faction of the secessionist All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) led by Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani. "The change of leadership is the right of APHC and the United Jihad Council fully supports it," the UJC said on September 10 after a special meeting held in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Internal fissures within Hurriyat, the main over-ground secessionist syndicate in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), culminated in a formal split on September 7, 2003, with 13 of its 25 constituents 'removing' Chairman Maulana Mohammad Abbas Ansari and 'replacing' him with Massarat Alam as its interim chief. The dissenters met at the residence of hardliner and pro-Pakistan leader Geelani and decided to depose Ansari and 'suspend' the seven-member executive committee, the highest decision-making forum of the APHC.

President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview to the BBC on September 11 that reports of Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists finding sympathy in Pakistan and using it as a base for launching attacks in Afghanistan were "partially true". According to Musharraf, "Shall I say it’s partially true - one can’t deny, I will be the last person to deny that nothing is happening in the tribal areas of our borders with Afghanistan… Certainly there are elements that may be hiding there and certainly there are abettors who sympathise with them." He also said that Osama bin Laden could be hiding in Pakistan’s north-western tribal region bordering Afghanistan. "I feel that he (bin Laden) is alive, yes, because of the various information and intelligence that has come up now… But to guess whether he’s in Pakistan or in Afghanistan, the possibility exists that he is shifting places, shifting bases on both sides. That is the reality," added Musharraf.

Declassified US intelligence documents have reportedly revealed that Pakistan helped Al Qaeda terrorists launch their operations in Afghanistan in the 1990s and also clandestinely ran a major training camp used by Osama Bin Laden’s network. The documents, prepared by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) in 2001 and declassified in a censored version this past week, also indicate that Afghan Northern Alliance guerrilla commander Ahmad Shah Masood may have been killed two days before the 9/11 attacks because he had discerned Bin Laden’s plan and "began to warn the West". The documents were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by National Security Archive, a Washington-based think tank. However, the DIA has clarified that these documents represent only raw intelligence. "Taliban acceptance and approval of fundamentalist non-Afghans as part of their fighting force were merely an extension of Pakistani policy during the Soviet-Afghan war," said one of the DIA dispatches. It said that Pakistani agents "encouraged, facilitated and often escorted Arabs from the Middle East into Afghanistan". Pakistan is alleged to have built a training camp located outside the Afghan village of Zahawa, near the border between the two countries. According to the DIA, the camp was constructed by Pakistani contractors funded by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). However, in Islamabad on September 14, a Foreign Ministry official said that Pakistan had not yet officially received the DIA report, but said its "contents seems to be absurd and baseless." "This is a baseless report. The document itself says the information is raw. It does not seem to be founded on hard evidence," the unnamed official added.

A report on the August 11-sectarian clash in Kalore Kot sent to Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi has indicated that the proscribed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) is regrouping in Punjab and public gatherings by Maulana Azam Tariq’s Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan (the new name for the proscribed Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan) are the main cause of increasing sectarian disharmony in the province. Quoting official sources the Daily Times said that 35 activists, including 12 soldiers, were arrested under the Anti Terrorism Act following the August 11 clash in Kalore Kot. According to the report, the police and district administration were responsible for sectarian disharmony in the area because they failed to take necessary action. An unnamed official has indicated that Maulana Azam Tariq and his party were responsible for sectarian disharmony and were also allegedly making fresh recruitments to the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in order to reactivate it.

Meanwhile, Maulana Samiul Haq while confirming that Azhar met him and other MMA leaders said, "We discussed the allegations against Mr Azhar. It is clear to me that he has devoted his life to jihad and he would not rat on the Taliban."

He claimed that "While (India) persists in its violent suppression of the Kashmiri people, they have a legitimate right to resist Indian occupation.
